Welcome to MILHIST
 Hello 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 very frequently. You can [ watchlist it] if you are interested, or you can add it directly to your user page by copying the following: WPMILHIST Announcements.
 * Important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you [ watchlist it].
 * The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, writing contests, and article logistics.
 * We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
 * We've developed a set of guidelines that cover article structure and content, template use, categorization, and many other issues of interest.
 * If you're looking for something to work on, there are many articles that need attention, as well as a number of review alerts.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask any of the project coordinators or any other experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome, and we are looking forward to seeing you around! Anotherclown (talk) 10:21, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Request for copyedit
Hi, can you please copyedit the article Siddiqullah Chowdhury? I have nominated it for DYK, and in the review tge reviewer wants a copyedit done by an uninvolved editor. RRD (talk) 17:40, 14 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi, first of all thanks for helping me in this situation. I would like to point out the following in reponse to your query in my talk page:


 * In the views section, all the statements are sourced from the single rwference. But still, I have sourced each sentence since they may be contentious.
 * About the controversy section, the statement is controversial. You can see the Partition of India. For this, many Indians compare whom they "anti nationals" with Pakistanis and or are asked to go to Pakistan which is indeed a controversial debated matter. But I have added another sentence speaking about Barkati's sacking. RRD (talk) 06:16, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

WikiProject Aircraft
Thanks for signing up for this project. It is a very busy and active project with lots going on and we can always use more help and especially a fresh set of eyes. If you haven't done so already you might want to add Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft to your watch list as this is where much of the background discussion occurs. You may also want to watch New articles (Aircraft) as this is where newly created articles get listed for peer review. Having a look over these new articles is a great way to get a feel for how things are done on the project and also most new articles need reviewing anyway. If you have any questions you can leave me a note or post at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft, either way you will get a quick response. - Ahunt (talk) 11:24, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Rollback granted
Hi Cthomas3. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3ACthomas3 enabled] rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Alex ShihTalk 17:41, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war.
 * If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
 * Use common sense.
 * Thank you very much, ! It is much appreciated.  C Thomas3   (talk) 19:11, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

USAF units are never "deactivated"
You have edited an article on a USAF unit to replace "inactivated" with "deactivated." This is not the proper term. See any of the Air Force Historical Research Agency works on USAF organizations or AF Instruction 38-101 for correct organizational terms for USAF organizations. --Lineagegeek (talk) 12:03, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for fixing that, . I had learned the proper term for that in the course of my research on the F-104 over the past couple of months, but I did not remember that I had made that change back in July or I would have changed it back myself. Thank you also for the terminology link; I had actually been looking for one of those!  C Thomas3   (talk) 14:53, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * Thank you very much, ! I really do apprecate it; I did notice that some of the 3ORs have been a bit on the terse side, but I figured that clearly the two of you had put a lot of time and effort into the article, and cared enough to reach out for a third opinion, so I owed it to the both of you to understand the issue as best I could and give some hopefully helpful advice. I am so glad you haven't held my relatively low edit count against me! I was a casual contributor here for many years, but I spent most of my time over on Wikia as an administrator and bureaucrat on a number of projects (and even on the Community Council and part of the Wikia Stars program) for many years. However, I think I have found my permanent home here. :)  C Thomas3   (talk) 19:23, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

Support to prevent my page from being deleted (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localizing_the_SDGs)
Dear Thomas, I have seen the comment that you have left in the page I created (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localizing_the_SDGs) and I was wondering if you could please support me. I have already revised the page, added references and excluded things that may have caused your comments. I really want to ensure that my page is not deleted, so if you please can let me know if you have any other advice for me, it would be great appreciated. Thanks a lot for your help.

 * Greetings, ! I realize you are probably contacting everyone who commented on this AfD, but all I was doing was categorizing the discussion according to WP:DELSORT. This is in no way a show of support for any particular position; the purpose is to categorize the request and provide easy access for those editors who may be interested in specific subjects to locate and comment on those discussions. As of yet I have not reviewed the article itself beyond a cursory one to determine how to categorize it, nor any current or potential sources, so at the moment I am not informed enough to make any type of judgment as to its status.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive
G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
 * updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Speedy deletion declined: Patrick J. Stapleton III
Hello Cthomas3. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Patrick J. Stapleton III, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: member of a notable entity (potential merge/redirect target), son of notable person, claims coverage in notable magazine. Thank you. So Why  08:50, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Greetings,, and thank you for the notification. As I have only done a few CSD tags, it would help me a great deal to understand what I did wrong with this one. I tagged it for A7 after reading the section on whether an article about a person or organization makes a credible claim of significance; what convinced me was the part where it said . My thought process was that an article claiming chairmanship of a state liquor control commission, even if true, would not fare well at a deletion discussion from a notability perspective. Am I being too strict in my interpretation of this guideline? I know that you are considered by just about everyone to be the pre-eminient expert in CSD, so your perspective on this would be most helpful as well as welcome. Thank you!  C Thomas3   (talk) 14:59, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the flattery but it's not even my opinion here. The essay you cite (WP:CCS) lists the sentence you mention as one of several things to keep in mind because logically any claim of notability is also a claim of significance which the policy explicitly defines as a "lower standard than notability". So meeting any notability guideline is usually (if credible) a reason to decline an A7 but conversely, not meeting one of them is not a reason to delete an article. Also, WP:ATD applies to all forms of deletion and anything that can be solved by normal editing, is usually exempt from speedy deletion (see also WP:PRESERVE).
 * In this case, one could easily redirect or merge to the article about the entity he was a member of or to his father's article per WP:ATD-R. One could also assume that more coverage exists if he was really named a top lawyer by Philadelphia and thus might want to be more careful, especially considering that the article in nine years old and most sources might not or no longer be available online (judging from stuff that is still available, such as or ). Usually, someone who was covered once in reliable sources is likely to have been covered again, unless it's clear from the coverage that this won't be the case. In this case, I can find more than 60 hits on newspapers.com (which you can request access to through The Wikipedia Library as well), so there might be something there. If there really is, is for a deletion discussion to decide.
 * I hope that helps. Feel free to ask anytime if you have further questions. Regards So  Why  15:34, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
 * That does help, thank you. I had done the same search that you did and had even tried to find the Philadelphia Magazine reference indicated in the article (with no luck). It occurred to me as I was thinking about it after leaving this message for you that there probably were enough question marks that it should have gone to a actual deletion discussion rather than me trying to assume what the outcome of such a discussion would be. I also did not consider the idea of a redirect. I will do some additional digging and see if I can come up with some material to add to the article, and if not, just do the redirect. By the way, I was not attempting to flatter, just letting you know I was genuinely looking to learn from this and not trying to debate you on the outcome.

Please participate to the talk pages consultation
Hello

Our team at the Wikimedia Foundation is working on a project to improve the ease-of-use and productivity of wiki talk pages. As a Teahouse host, I can imagine you’ve run into challenges explaining talk pages to first-time participants.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis – to ask questions, to resolve differences, to organize projects and to make decisions. Communication is essential for the depth and quality of our content, and the health of our communities. We're currently leading a global consultation on how to improve talk pages, and we're looking for people that can report on their experiences using (or helping other people to use) wiki talk pages. We'd like to invite you to participate in the consultation, and invite new users to join too.

We thank you in advance for your participation and your help.

MoS talk reply noted
Hi Cthomas3. I've noted your comment at the MoS talk page, thanks, but as stated am waiting a few hours before coming back on the topic – so I'll see you later on that. Are you familiar with Henry Rathvon and Emily Cox, by the way? –Roy McCoy (talk) 16:50, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Greetings . No worries at all, I completely understand. As I re-read your question on the MoS talk page I didn't answer it exactly anyway. I'm only familiar with them as cryptic crossword writers (I like my crosswords).  C Thomas3   (talk) 19:45, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't know if you mean you like your crosswords (i.e. not mine, not Rathvon/Cox puzzles), or you likes your crosswords (i.e. you do them and you like that). So I don't know if you like (their) cryptics or not. –Roy McCoy (talk) 23:08, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
 * , apologies, I mean I like to do them. I don't make any of them myself. :)  C Thomas3   (talk) 23:11, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I meant your the ones you like to do, not your the ones you make. You like Rathvon/Cox cryptics, or not? I'm still not sure on that. –Roy McCoy (talk) 23:22, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
 * , Ah! Again, my apologies. Yes, I've run across some of theirs and they seem to be well done. I can't say I've done their crosswords on a regular basis or anything, but they seem to be entertaining and challenging.  C Thomas3   (talk) 23:28, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
 * They are! I've spent most of the past winter doing around 120 of them, and I'm proud to have finished all of them without having looked at the answer even once. I use Internet aids (anagram dictionaries, etc.), but I figure that's fair because the makers use them to put the puzzles together. Anyway, here's two books of Rathvon/Cox puzzles that I scanned before my winter trip south: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kb6oxbsy0ikilv5/the%20atlantic%20cryptic%20crosswords.pdf?dl=1 (35MB) and https://www.dropbox.com/s/kb6oxbsy0ikilv5/the%20atlantic%20cryptic%20crosswords.pdf?dl=1 (55MB). Some of the puzzles are a little shadowed because I did them on a super-cheap scanner, but they're all legible. Enjoy as you may wish. –Roy McCoy (talk) 00:47, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Cthomas3 appointed arbitration clerk trainee
The arbitration clerks are pleased to welcome to the clerk team as a trainee!

The arbitration clerk team is often in need of new members, and any editor who would like to join the clerk team is welcome to apply by email to clerks-l@lists.wikimedia.org.

For the arbitration clerks, Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 01:22, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Discuss this at: Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee/Noticeboard

Appointment as arbitration clerk trainee
Hi Cthomas3. We have added you to the list of clerks and subscribed you to the mailing list (info: WP:AC/C). Welcome, and I look forward to working with you! To adjust your subscription options for the mailing list, see the link at clerks-l. The mailing list works in the usual way, and the address to which new mailing list threads can be sent is. Useful reading for new clerks is the procedures page, WP:AC/C/P, but you will learn all the basic components of clerking on-the-job.

New clerks begin as a trainee, are listed as such at WP:AC/C, and will remain so until they have learned all the aspects of the job. When you've finished training, which usually takes a couple of/a few months, then we'll propose to the Committee that you be made a full clerk. As a clerk, you'll need to check your e-mail regularly, as the mailing list is where the clerks co-ordinate (on-wiki co-ordination page also exists but is not used nearly as much). If you've any questions at any point of your traineeship, simply post to the mailing list.

Lastly, it might be useful if you enter your timezone into WP:AC/C (in the same format as the other members have), so that we can estimate when we will have clerks available each day; this is, of course, at your discretion. Again, welcome! Regards, Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 01:24, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
