Welcome to the Military history WikiProject!
 Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:


 * Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
 * The announcement and open task box is updated quite regularly. You can [ watchlist it] if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including WPMILHIST Announcements there.
 * Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is recommended that you [ watchlist it].
 * The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:


 * Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines outline some things to include.
 * Interested in working on a more complete article? The military history peer review and collaboration departments would welcome your help!
 * Interested in a particular area of military history? We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, or periods.
 * Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every military history article in Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lokshin 03:16, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about the calibre thing, I use British English myself (being South African) and didn't realise this was also one of the British versus American cases. Can you believe that I would change it to the "wrong" way... hehehe....

And thanks for the the "award" and the help with the sniper rifle page... sigh... he still has not agreed to submit to mediation so tomorrow I will see about arbitration... what a waste of everyone's time. Deon Steyn 13:46, 25 July 2006 (UTC)


 * No worries! The calibre/caliber thing can get confusing at times, and the way I figure it, there's quite enough firearm topics on WP written by Americans, so the Commonwealth deserves more use than it's currently getting. ;-)
 * As for the sniper rifle thing... there's the potential for an excellent article there, if he'd only listen to what we're all saying. It's a shame to have to go to arbitration, but as you say, it's only going to end up being an even bigger waste of everyone's time and effort otherwise... and you don't need to thank me for the Barnstar Award- you've earned it!--Commander Zulu 13:56, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:7.62NagantCartridgeComparison.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:7.62NagantCartridgeComparison.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 05:04, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

OH HI...
HI, I just wanted to thank u/congratulate on your short addition to the fox hunting page. i tried to do a similar addition - but it was removed in half an hour. So nice wording i guess!! It was what i was getting at too. (however im not pro hunting for pure pleasure- and wadda ya know have never used a gun) BLAH thanks but.Cilstr 13:11, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Peer review
Just to let you know, when you ask for a second peer review, it's perfectly fine to simply put the request directly under your original one; anyone dropping by will see it there. Creating a second-level (==) heading for it, in particular, is a really bad idea, as it screws up the table of contents on the main peer review page. Thanks! Kirill Lokshin 14:26, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that... I'll make a note for next time! --Commander Zulu 14:30, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Webley
Meh, I'm going to be off to Wikimania tomorrow, so I won't have much time to help with this; but I'll see what I can do about the footnotes, at least, today. It might be worthwhile asking around for a few people to copyedit the article; it's often easier than trying to figure out the problems that people are seeing in one's own writing. Kirill Lokshin 04:16, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Collaboration?
Seeing as you know your stuff, perhaps in the future you'd like to cooperate on individual pages for the Lee-Enfield and Webley Variants. I own a hefty amount of literature on both weapons as well as access to the former QAD(O)Pattern Room which is now located in Leeds, plus I strongly believe that there's sufficient interest in such materiel. Any interest? Cheers, --Harlsbottom 15:35, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Absolutely! I'm a published writer on Historic firearms in Australia, and of course have my own library (well, selection ;) of reference material. Always wanted to visit the Royal Pattern Room, but the last time I was in the UK it wasn't open so I had to content myself with the Tower of London and their Puckle Gun... --Commander Zulu 00:33, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Good to hear. Out of interest what have you published? I'm always looking to expand my firearms book collection... --Harlsbottom 14:40, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Nothing in book form, I'm afraid... just articles in a well-known shooting magazine at this stage! Still, it would be nice to get a book published eventually... --Commander Zulu 05:25, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * If you're not otherwise interested in the elction, would you consider voting for me in the [|WPMILHIST Coordinator Election]? I basically plan to get things done without anyone trampling over everything. --Harlsbottom 00:28, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Cheers! Out of interest what magazines do you have in Australia?  Here in Britain there are hardly any and we have to rely on American stuff.  Last I heard the Australian government cracked down on firearms ownership.  --Harlsbottom 12:01, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

We get all the American ones, as well as quite a few local ones- Australian Shooter, Sporting Shooter, Guns Australia, Hunter, Australian & New Zealand Handgun, to name a few... have a look at this article: Gun politics in Australia for more info on the Australian arms laws, if you're interested. --Commander Zulu 15:55, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Webley Revolver
In general, I feel that articles on Wiipedia need to cite their sources exhaustively. When I looked over this article for A-class review, I felt that it didn't cite well enough to be in the 2nd-best tier of articles. I might be wrong - other editors may not feel the same way, and if you renominate the article, different reviewers may disagree with my original assessment and pass the article. On the second count, organization, my initial reaction to the overall setup of the artice was negative. I feel that the best articles on Wikipedia should also be the easiest to navigate. Again, I didn't feel that this article was organized in a way that compared favorably to other top-drawer articles. As with the citations, other editors may disagree. There is no limit on good faith renominations; if you feel that this article cannot be imporoved in either area that I mentioned in my objection, nominate it again, with a comment in the nomination box that explains why you are renominating without changes (or with minimal changes).

And don't take criticism so personally - it's not a personal attack. When I review an article, I don't look at the history page to see who has edited it - it really isn't important. My criticisms are of the article as a whole, not of your contributions, or of you personally.

Image copyright problem with Image:USSROfficerTT33.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:USSROfficerTT33.JPG. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Image:USSROfficerTT33.JPG
This is an extremely well-known propaganda photo published by the Soviet Government in 1943. My understanding is that it's in the public domain as a result.

On a different note, this bot of yours causes more problems than it solves, you know. It's systematically tagged almost every WWII era Soviet photo for deletion, which is going to cripple the Soviet Military History aspect of Wikipedia. Reign it in or deactivate the bot! --Commander Zulu 10:55, 15 October 2006 (UTC)


 * 1943 is in a grey area: some WWII photos from then are public domain, while others aren't. For more details, see Template:PD-USSR, Template talk:PD-USSR, and Commons:Template talk:PD-Soviet.


 * As for the re-tagging, this is because PD-USSR turns out to be based on a misunderstanding of law. The cutoff date for public domain is either 1942 (for works by WWII vets), or 1946 (for all other works).  Consequently, all images using that tag need to be re-tagged or deleted. --Carnildo 20:36, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

WP:BLP and Celebrity Sex Tape
Please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons. Controversial or contentious material on living people that isn't sourced has to either be sourced or come out of the article. There's nothing to discuss, although I posted a clear, concise explanation on the article's talk page when I made my original edit. If you have policy questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page, but do not restore the unsourced material. | Mr. Darcy talk 00:43, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello!

I noticed that User:Yerkschmerk has an award issued by you in July 2006 for tireless efforts (diff). Since this user only had one edit prior to 19 September 2006 I am a bit suspicious. If the award does not appear to be correct I believe it is possible for you to remove it (users are allowed to award themselves, but they should not give the false impression of having received awards from others). --Oden 14:39, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Cartridge designations
Hello, you may remember me from such talk pages as Sniper rifle, and 7.92mm Mauser. How are we writing cartridge names these days? For example, is it 5.56 x 45 mm or have we moved on to 5.56x45mm? I was just about to go through an article, but I cannot remember which to use, nor can I find the discussion about it on the MilHist pages because, well, I'm stupid.

Infobox Drive for the Firearms Wikiproject
Hello Commander Zulu. The Firearms Wikiproject is having an infobox drive. The purpose of this is to ensure that most (if not all) of the articles within our scope have the relevant infoboxes. The start date will be May 28th. If you choose to participate, go to our project page and pick an article under the To-do list's Infobox section or look for firearm articles that need an infobox. Before you start editing an article, please cross it out on the list so that we don't have editor's work clashing. The drive will last for five days. If you are interested, please RSVP to LWF. Thank you, the Firearms Wikiproject. --Seed 2.0 09:12, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

British patent question
Someone recently started up an article on the Anson & Deeley boxlock action, and I've been trying to track down the original British patent from 1875, but with no luck so far. I know you write a lot on British arms, so would you know of any resources that might let me track that down British patents? And do you know the copyright status of British patents? I like to grab drawings from US patents when applicable because they are non-copyrightable and cover things that it might be hard to obtain free use photos of (see for example the Dardick tround article). I assume even if copyrighted in general, a 130 year old patent is probably fair game anyway... scot 13:39, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:ZuluWebley.JPG)
Thanks for uploading Image:ZuluWebley.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

I moved the article because it didn't say 7.62x51, also, it didn't have an "x" in it, it had the superscript "x" instead. I wasn't aware of a concensus and, it seems, there ISN'T a concensus as it's written differently everywhere. View the 5.56 and 5.45 or the 6.8 SPC or the 7.92x33 articles.

Enfield revolver
I saw your comment about complaints that this article might be too short for FAC. I don't think it is, the main reason for the first oppose was 1a, and as for the second reviewer, most of the FAC people tend to ignore Kaypoh and disregard his opinions, so I don't think there is a clear consensus that the article is too short, eg see Wikipedia talk:Featured article statistics. That's just a comment in case you hadn't renominated thinking that it is intrinsically too short to be acceptable.  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) 01:45, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I appreciate the feedback, but I haven't re-nominated the article because I don't like being criticised by people who don't know anything about the subject matter and make vague objections without having the decency to provide constructive help on how to fix it. That and there really isn't anything else to say about the revolver- there is exactly one reference book on the gun, a mention in a WWII small arms manual, and one or two articles in magazines/e-zines. I honestly don't think the article can be improved any further than it already has been. Commander Zulu (talk) 01:44, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
