Operation Majestic Titan
I have officially created the page User:TomStar81/Operation Majestic Titan, which outlines the basic goal I have of getting all the US battleship articles up to FA. Its still a draft (a few things will be added along the way), but I have a question for you. Out of curiosity, would be interested in becoming an 'adviser' such as it were for the op? You, MBK, and The ed17 have been a part of this longer than anyone else I can think of, and I could use a few extra people to keep tabs on and aid any newcomers to the op as we go along. If you decide you would like to assist in that capacity I would be happy to name you one of the people to whom others may addressed questions or ask for help from. TomStar81 (Talk) 04:46, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I expect that more will be needed along the way, but at present the (hopefully) four of us should be enough to handle any questions or comments that crop up. TomStar81 (Talk) 04:53, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

The Bugle: your feature
Are you still up for this? It would be great if you could but it's no problem if you're short of time and want to carry it over to the next issue. Roger Davies talk 03:52, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Chevrons!

 * Congrats for being the first person to receive an award in the contest. I'd have waited until the newsletter came out to award you this, but since I am beginning to wonder when exactly that will happen I figure there is no harm in dishing out the first gong early :) Thanks for the help, and do contribute more if you have the chance to.

WikiCup participates in the The Great Wikipedia Dramaout
Hello all, iMatthew here. I just wanted to let you know about "The Great Wikipedia Dramaout" which starts this Saturday. The goal of the Dramaout is to spend five days working on improving articles and abstaining from any of Wikipedia's drama. I don't think that any of you will have a problem focusing on articles for five days, because of course, any work you get done during the Dramaout will count towards your score in the WikiCup. Details are on the page; hope to see you all signing up! :)  iMatthew  talk   at 00:27, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Question
Hello. Could you show me how you created the user box links that are at the top of your page? The links with the pictures and "About Me, etc...etc..." Wikifan12345 (talk) 04:39, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

I tried that but I got this: [Wikifan12345

Did I do something wrong? Wikifan12345 (talk) 21:36, 22 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok I think I got it working but I have one more question: User:Wikifan12345/Usernav

When I click on the pictures, it doesn't take me to my user page or talk page. Only when I click on the text. How can I fix this? Wikifan12345 (talk) 01:55, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the fix. You've been a major help! Wikifan12345 (talk) 07:21, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

An exciting opportunity to get involved!
As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. -  Trevor  MacInnis   contribs  23:58, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Byzantine civil war of 1341–1347
Hello! Some time ago you had expressed an interest in copyediting the article. It is now undergoing a FAC, and the prose is the main issue. If you have time for it, I'd be grateful for any help. Best regards, Constantine  ✍  10:11, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * No problem! I appreciate that RL has priority. Thanks in advance for your help :) Constantine  ✍  10:13, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

GA review

Military history coordinator elections: voting has started!
Voting in the Military history WikiProject coordinator election has now started. The aim is to elect the coordinators to serve for the next six months from a pool of sixteen candidates. Please vote here by 23:59 (UTC) on 26 September! For the coordinators,  Roger Davies  talk 22:09, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Your input requested
Hey there Cam, been a while ;) I'm currently copyediting Hill 262, and there's a discrepancy between this and Villers-Bocage in the details of when the Poles got into Chambois/onto the hill. If you have the time, anything you can uncover from your sources would be much appreciated. More information on the talkpage at the top of the Notes section. Regards, EyeSerene talk 11:55, 18 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks Cam. Some sources I've seen seem to support Chambois first then Hill 262, but of those some are ambiguous (they can be read as both happening at the same time). Totally unrelated, but do you think it's worth adding your Normandy project to milhists special projects as discussed on the coords page? EyeSerene talk 17:25, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks and a request!
Thanks for your service as coordinator on WPr Military History for the last six months. Great job, the Wikiproject has matured some more. Lots more needs to be done though.

Would you consider giving a para here on what you planned to do, what you could achieve, what gave you happiness, what irritated you and your suggestions for the road ahead to the new team?

All the best for the new elections!

Congrats!
Congrats on your election as Coordinator for the Military history Project. In honor of your achievement, I present you with these stars. TomStar81 (Talk) 00:19, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk page protection
I just noticed that you have indefinitely semi-protected your user talk page. I have nothing against this, but you should be aware that there is consensus that was formed at ANI or AN (I'd have to look it up) that if you choose to keep this you will need to have an unprotected talk page available for IPs and newly-registered non-autoconfirmed users to be able to contact you, much like I do with User talk:MBK004/Anon and have it linked to on your main talk page. -MBK004 01:01, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Protected for one week. I'm inclined to re-block the user for block evasion on the other IP, but hopefully the protection will elicit some constructive dialog. -MBK004 22:54, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Guess not, I just re-blocked for evasion. Looks like we may have a long-term problem. -MBK004 23:32, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 * You may be interested in his rantings post-block while waiting for his unblock request to be actioned: he is going on about how we are a cabal and I have a clear bias, am a bastard and will become the subject of an improper Admin conduct RFC if he isn't unblocked and the protection removed. Roger might get a kick out of that. -MBK004 00:02, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Hope you don't mind
— Ed  (talk  •  contribs)  05:21, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Not particularly. Feel free to join in, particularly in the area of design and armour in the main class page. I would request that we keep all developments on my sandbox page first (and I would like any potential DYKs if you don't mind me requesting;) before we transfer them to the main page. Cam (Chat) 05:40, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, of course, and did you know that DYK credit can be handed out to more than one editor? ;-) Parsec and I have done it more than once. I don't have much on the design, but I am trying to get my hands on Whitley's Battleships of World War II; if I can do that, we should be set. — Ed  (talk  •  contribs)  05:50, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Goodwood
Just a quick request, before going down the formal lines, to keep a watch out on the Operation Goodwood article. The guy, who am fairly certain is the one i mentioned to you by the same use of terminology, is claiming he is going to start stamping BS figures into the article - although i am going to give him the benefit of the doubt for the moment and see if he actually has sources.--EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 17:32, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
