Re plagiarism
Since it's getting a bit off-point for here, let me bring it here.
 * You're missing the point of what plagiarism is and is not and hence coming into conflict with other authors. It's not about "the exact words". That's the High School approximation to the idea of plagiarism and a prime example of applying the letter, rather than the spirit, of a policy (which is against policy). Plagiarism is about theft of ideas and/or credit. The principle of avoiding plagiarism is "credit where credit is due". If I paraphrased someone else's work (without using a single "exact phrase") and claimed it as my own that would be the most deceitful form of plagiarism. I found that writing a Doctoral thesis and considering how my ideas might be stolen gave me a broader perspective on intellectual property issues. Maybe you would also benefit from the exercise. Mentioning the source is not enough: hence inline citations. Dhatfield (talk) 15:57, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * "You're missing the point" Actually not. They're both wrong. What troubles me is both spirit & letter being ignored on WP. The principle behind plagiarism may be theft of ideas; the execution is (often) theft of words. I draw no distinction, because if you're stealing phrasing, it's not your work anymore.
 * "If I paraphrased someone else's work (without using a single "exact phrase")" Do I take you to mean  you'd object to use of information contained in a source? How, then, do you do research? That is a paraphrase, no? Or did you mean only without citation?
 * BTW, since you seem to've gotten a bit bent out of shape over this, I'm prepared to believe it was inadvertent; take a look at some of WP's submarine pages, which are direct verbatim lifts from DANFS, & it's easy to suspect plagiarism everywhere. I've inadvertently borrowed, myself (an essay on the Pacific War used a view from Blair I'd read years before & adopted, without recalling it wasn't original to me), so I'm very careful about it, now, & sensitive other people may not be so careful. As noted, I take the approach quote & cite always, & there's no question that way. I imagine that makes me seem narrow-minded; just very careful. I didn't get burned for it; I don't want somebody getting burned badly for taking WP on faith if we're not careful enough about it.
 * One other thing. In retrospect, I should've brought the concern here in the first place, rather than put it on the talk page, but in looking at the page history, it looked like it came from an anon IP, & I wanted a public notice if an anon was copying. (I find the summary pages more than a bit confusing sometimes.) Trekphiler (talk) 21:42 & 21:49, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * No offence intemded. It was a bit bad form of me. Trekphiler (talk) 22:22, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

timelines
Sure thing. What do you have? —EncMstr (talk) 18:17, 21 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks User:Dhatfield/Sandbox. Dhatfield (talk) 20:18, 21 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I took a couple swings at it, but couldn't get it to budge. That's in line with my frustration with the timeline facility: it doesn't behave intuitively.  I'm not very experienced though, and assume I'm mostly to blame for its shortcomings.  :-(
 * Any reason not to use the .svg graphic? (You could put the timeline details and instructions for creating it offline on its description page.)  —EncMstr (talk) 20:43, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Tank
Thank you for the medal and the chevrons, although to be honest I had not expected it since I haven't written anything major for Wikipedia in almost a year (although, I plan to expand the Verdeja article, beginning tomorrow - an article on Spain's most successful tank program can not left in such a pity state!). I added two references to the Tank article, although none specifically state that ETC is the most mature of alternate technology to powder guns and liquid propellants. OTOH, the first reference offers a glimpse of ETC compared to EM, whilst the second reference details the integration of the XM291 into the turret of a modified M8 armored gun system. The ETC article needs to be updated, as there is a lot of information I have access to now and not before; new information can be read in an article, which I can't link because apparently invisionfree is blacklisted. So, after the Verdeja article (which I will try to get featued, like the T-26) I hope I have time to work on that ETC article some more. In any case, to avoid boring you with my life story, I will not let you be ... thank you again! JonCatalan (talk) 23:16, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * A question on the timeline you made for the article. The Challenger 2 was never retrofitted with a 120mm smoothbore gun.  There are plans to retrofit Rheinmetall's 120mm L/55 tank-gun soon, and it has been covered in Janes.  Unfortunately, I think it will block me linking it to you, but I could copy and paste it here, if you'd like. JonCatalan (talk) 23:24, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Transcluding into an image frame
Is it possible to transclude a page into an image frame? I'd really like to put my clickable EasyTimeline (at the bottom of the page) into an image. Dhatfield (talk) 16:23, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

re: Tank links
Hi Dhatfield, The links I removed were of low importance to this particular topic (eg, the Danish tank website and the website on the US Army's next generation of tanks - there are great links for articles on this particular topics, but not needed for these high-level article) or outright unencyclopedic (eg, the "private photos showing US tanks with humorous mobility problems in Iraq" and the videos which "while excellent, are advertorial in nature"). WP:EL states that links "should be kept to a minimum of those that are meritable, accessible and appropriate to the article" and I *think* that removing these links was in line with it. regards, Nick Dowling (talk) 11:11, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Portal:Computer generated imagery
You have to remember that it's a really big topic. Things like MRI, catscan, structure of DNA or proteins can be a great addition towards pictures or articles. As for biography, I'm afraid I don't know much about people in this field. OhanaUnitedTalk page 18:26, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I know, I'm only scratching the surface - amazing there isn't something out there already. I am going for fields where images are artificially created - minimal sensor / environment interaction, so no MRIs, no SEMs, no photos (despite the use of CCDs and microprocessors in cameras). I haven't been too consistent about that, thanks for the heads up. I believe molecular modeling is hidden in there somewhere, but thanks for the idea, I'll add more on this. Maybe I was going too far in avoiding personal bias [[Image:MM PEF 3.png|30px]] :) Dhatfield (talk) 18:43, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I found this one (Image:Lone House.jpg). This picture, although looks like a normal scenic view, is actually generated by computer completely. It will be a great addition to the page. And just a reminder, portals are entry page for specific topics or areas. You should aim for a broad spectrum. Eliminating MRIs and some photos may not be good decision. OhanaUnitedTalk page 16:26, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your input. Lone House is Selected picture/1 :) There is a featured Portal:Photography and we need to restrict the scope to something manageable and definable - how to draw the line with photos? I actually thought a Portal:3D imagery, Portal:Computer Illustration, etc. would be more appropriate. Good to know that you don't see this topic as overly broad. We may extend once we have a viable 'first draft', but I personally feel that photography and SEMs get enough coverage and recognition. MRIs, maybe less so, and there is a good case to be made that they are more 'computer generated' since they are typically are a Radon transform of numerous individual scans - but that strays into Image Processing and opens a whole lot more doors. Dhatfield (talk) 19:08, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, one thing for sure is that you won't expect an MRI picture to show up on Portal:Photography ;) OhanaUnitedTalk page 02:46, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Tank Task Force
Hey,

I notice you're on a Wiki Break, so this is for when you come back in August. ;) I wrote my reasoning for the founding of a task force for tanks on the Military History WikiProject, which you can read here. I guess its success is dependant on membership, and given that the spectacular work you've done on Tank I wanted to extend an invitation.  The task force wouldn't require editors that do 'heavy edits' - as in, entire articles - and, in fact, I would be looking more for active copy editors that do minor edits to maintain the quality of the article - but, really anything is fine.  What I'm looking for is more or less detailed in that message I left on the WikiProject talk page (previously linked above).  If you're interested it would be great if you could mention it there, and if not that's fine - but, it's worth a try. ;)  Regardless, thanks for your time and patience!

Nice timeline
Even if it does start in 1945 :) Most Wiki timelines are too long for something like that, so need to be vertical and not horizontal.One day when I have more time, I'll figure out how to do large vertical timelines, but I'm not sure why people call their articles "timelines" without the actual lines, because without the graphical timeline they are just lists--mrg3105 (comms) ♠ ♥ ♦ ♣ 01:24, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The Australian Presidents Timeline is the best of the vertical timelines that I've seen. Be aware that they take some time (even days) to render in WP after a change, so I recommend the offline EasyTimeline tool for development work. Good luck. Dhatfield (talk) 09:09, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Information graphics
Hi, could you give your opinion on the question Are all graphs and charts considered to be infographics?. Thanks. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 12:28, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Portal:Computer graphics
I am still wondering why the current draft Portal:Computer generated imagery isn't named Portal:Computer graphics? I added soem arguments, See here? Could you take a look at it. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 12:56, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Agree completely. Detailed reply on the talk page - see you there. Dhatfield (talk) 13:49, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Copyedits Domitian
Here are some notes on your recent copyediting of Domitian. I really appreciate your efforts in proofreading the text on grammar and spelling, BUT I can't always agree on your improvements. Some disputed edits: Otherwise no further problems. --Steerpike (talk) 17:47, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Administration:
 * "Domitian" instead of "Domition". Minor spelling error of course.
 * "expelled from the Senate" instead of "expelled". Otherwise it might imply senators were somehow exiled altogether.
 * First sentence of the second paragraph. Besides being grammatically incorrect now (I suppose you meant "become" instead of "became"), the structure altered the original content of the sentence somewhat. The idea is that "Domitian was determined to govern the Empire conscientously" --> therefore --> "he became personally involved in all branches of the administration".
 * "qualities he found more often in men of the equestrian order". In your edit, the words "more often" were removed, BUT, it's not true that Domitian excluded senators/patricians from his government completely (e.g. Nerva), which is what your version otherwise implied.
 * "imperial policy" instead of "his imperial policies". I think it should be either "Imperial policy" or "his policies". There seems to be something wrong with "his imperial policies", though I can't quite put my finger on it.
 * Why choose "absolute power" over "autocracy"? I think using "autocracy" occasionally adds some variation instead of always using the word "absolutism" or "absolute power", no?
 * "became apparent to all that...", is a rather long-winded way of saying the same thing from the original.
 * "primarily at Alba". You removed primarily, but Domitian did in fact spend time in Rome prior to the completion of the Flavian palace. There were other palaces, like the one of Tiberius. So adding "primarily" seems more correct to me.
 * Economy:
 * "the fire of 79" instead of "a further fire". This is the fire which was earlier discussed in the "Ceremonial Heir" section.
 * I have no argument with this. Please check all edits made during the copyedit for errors either minor or in terms of meaning. I make no claim to be an expert, or to be perfect :) Apologies that this creates work for you, but hopefully it leads to a FA. Dhatfield (talk) 20:22, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Since you're a member of the Military land vehicles task force I just wanted to let you know that the Panzer I article is currently going through an A-class review.

Window width of Portal:Computer graphics
Dhatfield, I am honored that you like my CG graphics well enough to include them in Portal:Computer graphics. Allow me to make a suggestion: The Web standard for laying out pages now assumes a minimum monitor resolution of 1024 pixels across without requiring the user to scroll. MSNBC.com, ABC.com, and CNN.com all observe this practice. And all lay out their pages to give several pixels of slack. MSNBC requires 1011 pixels whereas both ABC and CNN require 1017 pixels. So someone with a 1024-pixel monitor can set their browser screen to utilize close to their entire computer monitor and then see entire Web pages without scrolling. Note that as you currently have it laid out, Portal:Computer graphics requires 1083 pixels. Please also note two issues. First, the measurements I’ve cited here are based on Safari on a Mac; different browsers and OS will produce slightly different values. Note too that I have a 1440-pixel screen, so it’s not a matter of my having a problem here. It’s just that I normally set my Safari window’s width to barely “eat” CNN and rarely need to scroll anywhere on the Web. That’s the only reason I noticed. Just some advise to make your portal a better place. Greg L (talk) 21:42, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, our portal, technically. I've been a bit inactive recently, but I'll look into this ASAP. My main problem is that I have no idea how to lay out a portal properly (wikicode, html, etc.), but I'll give it a try. Thanks for the heads-up Greg. Dhatfield (talk) 21:21, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Cold War issues
Hi Dhatfield! Your issues raised on the Cold War talk page have been successfully adressed. Please have a look and see if there is anything else to fix. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to improve this article! All the best, --Eurocopter (talk) 20:31, 2 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Regarding the "Second Cold War" (1979–85) section, your copyedited version seems a little bit to much. In my opinion, the section is quite good as it is now, although it might face some minor copyediting issues. Thanks for all your hard work, but what the heck, if it's not broken don't fix! --Eurocopter (talk) 08:47, 4 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I will try to convince you that this article is broken and a substantial rewrite is necessary:
 * As you noted, this article is a "top-importance article rated nr. 10 on WP:MHSP". It also covers a politically charged topic. As a result, it must be impossible to suggest bias of any kind and that means we must present all relevant facts when discussing an issue. Maybe I over-reacted to your pro-US bias by swinging too far in the opposite direction, but I don't think you can dispute that all I did was add facts.
 * This article has failed prior FAC nominations due to (including other issues) POV problems. While copyediting may have been addressed to an extent, POV has not been substantially corrected. I say that because this article is clearly written from the point of view of a US national or supporter. That is a violation of one of WP's most basic policies. It will continue to fail FAC until this is addressed.
 * The article as it stands has a number of contradictions with linked articles. Able Archer 83, a FA, comes to completely different conclusions regarding the significance of that exercise.
 * You rely fairly heavily on Gaddis for citation - consider that he is no less subject to bias than anyone else.
 * A relatively minor problem (but also a big problem) is the structure of the "Second Cold War" section. Afganistan is mentioned at the beginning and end of the section. As it stands there is no structure in this section either chronological or as topics. I used the fourth level headings to indicate that I was re-organising it by topic, but the headings themselves are not essential.
 * I have great respect for your work, but please consider this issue carefully because a failure to see bias is a natural consequence of bias. Dhatfield (talk) 14:40, 4 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok, I had no problem with the content of your copyedited version of the section. Sincerelly, my problem is that your copyediting style does not sound very well - we should use more broad phrases instead the many simple sentences used by you. My other problem was, that after your final copyedit version of the End of the Cold War section, the section itself needed another copyediting and referencing check. I have no problem with any improvement idea, as long as it is well executed until the end, considering all possible issues - in order to have this article promoted to FA, we have to take care of all the possible minor issues and tweaks. Thanks for your understanding, --Eurocopter (talk) 18:45, 4 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Editing is iterative and I'm neither perfect nor an expert. Fortunately there is no deadline. I don't want to be in conflict over this: do you want me to work on this article? Dhatfield (talk) 21:23, 4 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, of course. Listen, in order to avoid any discussions we can proceed in the following way: make on the talk page a list of sentences which are biased in your opinion, together with your suggestion of improvement, and we would discuss them to find the best way of improvement. Agree? --Eurocopter (talk) 22:35, 4 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid that won't work. Take a look at this diff to get an idea of how much needs to be changed. Factual (especially addition of facts), style, structure, grammar & POV problems: the edits are extensive and necessary. I can't do those edits by "remote control" through the discussion page. If it weren't for my reluctance to interfere in the FAC process I would make the changes and they could be discussed as per the usual process for any established editor. Dhatfield (talk) 03:48, 5 September 2008 (UTC)


 * No offense, besides I've already said above, your style and structure are not appropiate for an FA. For example, you have to present facts in chronological order - in your copyedited version you've mentioned the Soviet invasion in Afghanistan (1979), after 1980 US presidential election, Able Archer 83 and KAL 007 - this "style" and "structure" won't help us very much in the improvement of the article. However, I've also found few good paragraphs within your sandbox which I might include them in the article. --Eurocopter (talk) 08:20, 5 September 2008 (UTC)


 * None taken, but I didn't see that the existing section is chronological, so I had organised by themes. In fact, you may want to look at whether other sections of the article are chronological. For example, in "Confrontation through detente", you write "As a result of the 1973 oil crisis,[94] combined with the growing influence of Third World alignments such as the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and the Non-Aligned Movement, less-powerful countries had more room to assert their independence and often showed themselves resistant to pressure from either superpower. Moscow, meanwhile, was forced to turn its attention inward to deal with the Soviet Union's deep-seated domestic economic problems. During this period, Soviet leaders such as Alexei Kosygin and Leonid Brezhnev embraced the notion of détente.[59] On November 13, 1968, during a speech at the Fifth Congress of the Polish United Workers' Party, Brezhnev outlined the Brezhnev Doctrine, in which he claimed the right to violate the sovereignty of any country attempting to replace Marxism-Leninism with capitalism."
 * A reference to the 1973 oil crisis is followed by a reference to the 1968 Brezhnev Doctrine. If I cannot see a rule, I cannot adhere to it. Dhatfield (talk) 12:32, 5 September 2008 (UTC)


 * If you'd look more carefully the paragraph is about the "struggle [of the two superpowers] to adjust to a new, more complicated pattern of international relations in which the world was no longer divided into two clearly opposed blocs" - this started before the next event described in this section, which is Operation Power Pack (1965). Indeed, I found a fact that did not respect the chronological order, and it was re-located ("On November 13, 1968, during a speech at the Fifth Congress of the Polish United Workers' Party, Brezhnev outlined the Brezhnev Doctrine, in which he claimed the right to violate the sovereignty of any country attempting to replace Marxism-Leninism with capitalism. During the speech, Brezhnev stated:[100] "When forces that are hostile to socialism try to turn the development of some socialist country towards capitalism, it becomes not only a problem of the country concerned, but a common problem and concern of all socialist countries". The reasons for adopting such a doctrine had to do with the failures of Marxism-Leninism in states like Poland, Hungary and East Germany, which were facing a declining standard of living, in contrast with the prosperity of West Germany and the rest of Western Europe.[101]") - this was placed after the Soviet invasion Czechoslovakia. The chronological order of the facts was demanded during the first FAC, and it seemed quite a fair demanding in my opinion. --Eurocopter (talk) 13:25, 5 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I would say that such comments within the FAC of this article are clearly disruptive and you are not assuming good faith in order to help promoting such an important article to FA. First of all, if you'd consult my userpage and my edits you will see that i'm not at all pro-US, actually I was even accused few times of being pro-Soviet/Russian. As you said, an editor involved in copyediting cannot vote in this FAC. So, please assume good faith, and consider withdrawing your comments and let us try to resolve these problems in a constructive way. Here's my proposal: you can make a new version of the sections which are POV in your opinion, and after that, I will send them to User:Twelsht for a thorough copy-edit. After this, I will add myself the new versions to the article. A positive answer behalf of you would mean very much to me, as i'm working hardly on this article since June, and I really want to see it passing this FAC. Best regards, --Eurocopter (talk) 22:02, 6 September 2008 (UTC)


 * My comments are not 'disruptive', they support an oppose vote. That is part of the process. Since I considered myself to no longer be copyediting the article, I felt I was free to vote. I wrote it as I saw it, which is the most we can ask of any reviewer. As for assuming good faith, you criticised my content, then changed your mind, then criticised my style (which I found ironic because your edits introduced four errors) and then you criticised my organisation of a section by topics as "not FA style" instead of telling me what the convention in the article is. It is quite common for articles to be organised by topics, rather than chronologically. At that point I stopped assuming anything. As for withdrawing my comments, I have marked them as 'Under review' on the FAC, to minimise the chance that they will be disruptive, but I will not withdraw my vote: I do not believe that this article should be featured at this stage - it is fatally flawed and the fact remains that other Wikiprojects rate it as B-class. I need to get some distance before working on the article further. I don't think that the required edits can be completed before the FAC concludes - this was why I was so confused when you ignored the work I had posted in the discussion and started the FAC in the first place. You understand that this puts me in an uncomfortable position: I do not believe this article should be featured as-is, but I cannot work on it without removing my vote. Two days left on FAC? My opinion is that it will pass the next FAC, not this one. Dhatfield (talk) 01:21, 7 September 2008 (UTC)


 * It doesn't matter what ratting has within other Wikiprojects. Please stop inventing such silly reasons in order to justify your disruption and bad faith assuming. In this manner, this article will never pass an FAC, as there will always be someone with disruptive scopes and biased thinking, who ruins everybody's work. I will withdraw the FAC as soon as possible and from now on I will stop any contribution to this article. It simply doesn't worth wasting my time... --Eurocopter (talk) 10:23, 7 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry that you feel that way. As I said, I have great respect for your work, but I believe that it is against the spirit of WP say that anyone's opinion "doesn't matter". As for your accusation that I was disruptive, an oppose vote is 'disruptive' to passing FAC, by definition. I don't have a problem with that - many of my featured proposals have been opposed, ultimately resulting in higher quality standards. As you know, that's the nature of WP. Dhatfield (talk) 15:54, 7 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello. I'm interested in your opinion about the bias. Please provide some examples (lots of examples?) of what you think is pro US or whatever. I do have to object to the your rationale about why you think there is bias, as it doesn't really matter. If there's bias, please take steps to correct it. By the way, I have requested input from the other WikiProjects that have this article as an interest of theirs. Haven't heard anything yet. Do you know more specifically how to get these other projects to reassess the article? Thanks! Hires an editor (talk) 12:33, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm working, so it's not easy for me to devote a significant amount of time to this during the week. I'm not sure I understand your reference to my 'rationale' - I listed a variety of specific issues both on this page and on the FAC. However, if you would like to see some changes I have suggested, please see User:Dhatfield/Sandbox (posted at the FAC four days ago) or this diff . Contrasting this with the existing section gives quite a few examples of changes that I feel are necessary. Dhatfield (talk) 18:31, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Graphics help
Hey there! I was wondering if you could help me with a vector image that I am working on, seeing as you are very good on working with vector images. I am currently trying to promote it to a FP, but there is one part of it that I could use help with. The image is Image:Dynamite-3.svg; the part I need help with is with where the paper would fold over on the ends (I know the shadows not done and other things, but this part is really bothering me!). Some good references could be this and this. If you cant help, its totally cool, just let me know! -- pb<font color="#006600">r ok s 1 3 talk? 04:30, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Pbroks, thanks for the compliment. Mainly it's just persistence. You are quite right that detail like this will either make or break an FPC so it's worth the effort.
 * For the ends I suggest cutting an ellipse into 6th's and adding some crease shadows and highlights - which you do well. Once you have the segments you could add a few extra nodes for some organic wavyness. See Image:Dynamite-4.svg to get the idea. Sorry, it's a bit of a mess - I forgot to delete hidden layers.
 * Remember that the end cap of an object in perspective is not a circle, or a vertical ellipse. Dynamite-4 looks 'wrong' because I slightly over-emphasised the perspective, but you get the idea.
 * I recommend also adding a 'rim' highlight to the top left corner edge of the fold-over to emphasise the fold. See Image:Crystal energy.svg on the plug as an example of a very obvious rim highlight.
 * I think that the edge of the cut-away should be red. This is kind of a convention that may make it easier for people to interpret. Also, the vertical interior of the cut-away could be a copy of your other (very nice) texture, maybe a bit darker - a shadow looks a bit wrong to me because the interior texture looks like it carries on under the shadow.
 * Hope this helps, I'm sorry I can't help more but I have work I'm avoiding, so back to the grind-stone. If you need anything else, please give me a shout and if you'd like me to 'peer-review' the image before FPC, I'll be more than happy too, but I may only be on every couple of days. Work for money is really interfering with my real work on WP. Dhatfield (talk) 17:08, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * First of all, thanks. I really appreciate you helping me. Yeah, I've been actually kind of busy lately, and any time I get to work on the image... I'm still getting pretty frustrated. I just still feel stuck. I'm trying to get it to look folded over, but its hard, especially when truing to keep it look realistically and not so geometrically. On top of that, I cant find good colors to fit. I updated what (little) I have at Image:Dynamite-3.svg, and, honestly, I could really use some more help. Hah, and don't worry, they haven't discouraged me. -- p<font color="#254117">b<font color="#006600">r ok s 1 3 talk? 06:52, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

For all your fine work!
Thanks Jon, I'm honoured. Good work on the badge! How does one award this? Dhatfield (talk) 17:12, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Oops, sorry didn't see this. The template is here. JonCatalán(Talk) 21:17, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you for reciprocating! ;) I wanted to ask you if there were any basic guides to working with Wikipedia images on photoshop to get them through an image FAC.  I want to try to get some more images on tanks through FAC to see if the featured picture part of Portal:Tank could be diversified.  I'm intent on learning this stuff myself, just because it would probably then be easier to get as many through as I wanted (if the image was good enough in the first place).  Thanks, JonCatalán(Talk) 03:16, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I strongly encourage learning how to retouch pictures but I wouldn't put good odds on getting Featured pictures unless your source images are spectacular - better than almost all of the tank images I've seen. The guys over at WP:FPC are so harsh I stopped proposing images or visiting. BTW, if you really want to get FPs, make vector diagrams. Anyway, you want to learn to retouch images? I learned to retouch by playing with Photoshop and more recently GIMP (GIMP is just as good for me) and reading online tutorials. There's a ton of stuff out there, but I'm not a retouching expert. User:Durova, now there's an image retouching expert - and she's very nice to work with, but quite busy. Why don't you propose a few images for restoration at the Graphics Lab, see how others do it and try to replicate the result they get and ask them how they did it if you get stuck. That's one good way to learn by doing and you get retouched images at the same time. I'm not always on WP these days but I'd be happy to do this with you if you like.

Oops?
Hey, I haven't logged in for several months, so I just now saw your request for the Utah teapot render (from June). You still think it needs it? -IG-64 (talk) 03:04, 15 November 2008 (UTC)


 * [[Image:Utah teapot simple 2.png|100px]]
 * No problem, I did this for the teapot in POV-ray, but it's not featured pic quality. What I'd really like to see is some top quality renders that we can get promoted to featured pic status so we can encourage 3D illustrators to contribute to WP. If you're up for it, subject matter is completely open.


 * Maybe a nice render of the the Stanford bunny or other well known model?


 * Cheers. Dhatfield (talk) 01:31, 20 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I made some Utah Teapot renders some time ago for my own sake. Here's a link to one of them: http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g295/IG-64_photos/3D%20Portfolio/09d3609c.jpg
 * It's actually a modification of the Utah teapot to make it more realistic in geometry. Perhaps I could so something like that only with the original model and some more contrast with the background? The Stanford bunny would also be an interesting project, however I don't know if I can find one that Max or Maya can open. -IG-64 (talk) 16:41, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

POTD notification
Hi Doug,

Just to let you know that the Featured Picture Image:M1 Abrams-TUSK.svg is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on December 14, 2008. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2008-12-14.  howcheng  {chat} 07:07, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Abrams image suggestion
Hey, congratulations. I just happened to look at the main page with your image on it. It is top notch, and I hope you don't take it as criticism if I make a suggestion, to file away in case you decide to do any more work on it. The open hatch-cover labelled “hatch or cupola” is a bit imprecise, and might be confusing for some readers.

You may consider enlarging the hatch ring a bit, adding the periscopes, and labelling it “commander's cupola,” or “commander's all-round vision cupola” if there's room. Maybe the “commander's hatch” would be clearer if it were shown closed, or tilted a bit further open, and the “loader's hatch” added for completeness. I've found a few images which may serve you as a visual reference: #1, #2, #3.

Regards. —Michael Z. 2008-12-15 00:02 z

Roman–Parthian War map
Hello! Per your comments, I have added a map of the pre-war situation, where the primary cities and sites mentioned are also displayed, to the article. Would you care to have a look? Best regards, Constantine  ✍  11:03, 9 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your comments! It is a relief to see that the map is useful, as I am perennially displeased with my map efforts (I can't seem to get Inkscape to do exactly what I want, or to display svg files the same way as thumbnails as in full view...). I thought about adding troop movements to the map, but the exact course armies followed is totally unclear, and I preferred to leave it be. Perhaps I will draw up a smaller map summarizing the war. Since you liked the map, could I also bother you to drop a support vote in the A-class process? Unless of course you have other comments or suggestions. Cheers, Constantine  ✍  23:24, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

There are some excellent and very active SVG editors over at Graphic_Lab/Image_workshop, and I recommed a visit there. User:pbroks13 would be my first choice.

Copy-editing Request
Hi Dhatfield,

I saw your user name on the list of copy-editors offering their services to WP:Military History, and after seeing your barnstar, I decided to ask you for help.

I recently made a peer review of Operation Badr (1973), and at least two editors recommended the article go through a copy-edit. Could you give it a level 1 copy-edit? As an extra I'd appreciate it if you could do some rewording to tone down POV language. Most of the neutrality issues are in the preparations section. Cheers. --Sherif9282 (talk) 19:00, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, I certainly will, please be patient. Dhatfield (talk) 15:10, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Great! --Sherif9282 (talk) 14:36, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey Dhatfield. Just inquiring: do you plan to implement your changes to the entire article in a single edit, or will you copy-edit it in sections? Thanks. --Sherif9282 (talk) 23:39, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi again. I couldn't wait longer so I did some copy editing to the article because I want to begin a GAN. So when you make your copy edit to the article take into account these changes. Thanks. --Sherif9282 (talk) 13:20, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Sherif, Sorry I have not been more active, I was on holiday for a week and work is crushing me right now. I will revisit the article and reviews as often as possible. I think it is worthy of at least a GA review, best of luck. Dhatfield (talk) 17:24, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks!
 * Since no one seems to bother to open the GA review, I guess there's nothing to do than wait. So take your time. Cheers. --Sherif9282 (talk) 18:53, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * You may have more luck with a MilHist peer review. Honestly, I would not have found your GA review - I only look at WPMILHIST Copy-editing alerts. Dhatfield (talk) 19:34, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I already did a peer review. I want to take the article to the next step towards FA. Right now I'm not sure if the article makes FA class. With your help I'm certain criterion 1(a) will be fulfilled, but I believe some users will voice concerns on a lack of reference. (I'm relying on only two secondary sources, and a third primary source backed where possible by the other two) My idea is that a GA will help me on the road to FA. The problem however is the huge backlog with the GA nominations. What do you think? --Sherif9282 (talk) 23:09, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * You could take it to A-class review. Sadly, a lack of references will be fatal in FAC. Dhatfield (talk) 22:24, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * What matters to me most is which would help me more on my way to FAC: An A-class review, or GAN? Obviously an A-class review would involve MilHist contributors, which would be very helpful. I'd do them both but this is discouraged it seems. What do you think? I just feel discouraged to undergo the A-class review until the article is thoroughly copy-edited. --Sherif9282 (talk) 10:05, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Can you take a look at the Yermolayev Yer-2 article to see if I've made the necessary changes for you to promote it?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:46, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Looking back at WikiProject Military history/Coordinators/September 2009, I remember you saying "Please consider a MilHist image resource / department."

V-B
Didnt get a chance before the FAC closed but thanks for the review and comments.--EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 09:30, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Side note
Don't let my commentary derail Dana's efforts on the WWI article, I've just got one nerve left and this is why I probably am never going to ever, ever, ever bother putting any of the articles I lead the work on up for FAC because there are just too many egos that dive in. (not saying you are an "ego", but too many reviewers are -- and the rest seem to be disgruntled grad students with no life and I'm sick of them). I'm fond of accuracy, but I am just totally sick of the MiliHist WP politics and was utterly fed up during the A-class review with the way that someone would launch into the need for an entire dissertation on the evolution of the bullet or some equally irrelevant thing. Dana was the goddess of patience to put up with that. Nothing irritates me more than people who complain without offering solutions, and especially those who complain when they don't even know what they are talking about. That's probably why I dove in, I thought you were one of those people. Looks like you aren't, so if I was offensive, sorry. Montanabw (talk) 21:00, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. I've played the FAC / FPC game and gave up, I didn't have the patience and I have a lot of respect for those that do. I try to be a useful reviewer and get things over with quickly but I got a bit upset at claims of OR. It'll be resolved shortly. Doug (talk) 21:18, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a case of mistaken identity! (i.e. you were mistaken for the gamers...oh dear) It does take people some time to get to know who the respected folks are. and I know that I am often guilty of diving into an area where I do have expertise but people don't necessarily understand that I have expertise... especially when I am disagreeing with their (incorrect) contentions!  I guess one of the skills to master on wiki is the suppression of the upward knee movement...I'm probably as prone to it as you!   Montanabw (talk) 23:07, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Minimisation
Thanks for your remark. The graph of error versus step size for verious methods is certainly interesting, but requires careful interpretation as the whole issue is complicated, indeed, floating-point arithmetic is maddeningly complicated in detail. I would have liked to see a description of the various factors, for instance, calculation in quadruple precision so as to be sure that the calculations of errors in double precision are accurate! If all calculations are in double precision, then since we're chasing the last possible bit of precision you have to worry over the calculations involving h (preferably interpreted in binary, so as not to be annoyed by binary-decimal issues: for instance, 10·15 is represented as 10·1499996185302734375 in single precision binary on the ibmpc et al, but 10·1500000000000003552713678800500929355621337890625 in double, which I noticed when printing a value to one decimal digit: 10·1 vs. 10·2), the precise calculation of the example function (and you should try a variety), and the precise calculation of the terms in the expression F(x) - F(x - h) etc. - all will mess with the precision of the result you are attempting to explore. Some compilers/systems enable calculation in 80-bit floating-point, the equivalent of REAL*10 as compared to REAL*8 for double and REAL*4 for single precision: if available, this would greatly ease the inspection of REAL*8 behaviour. REAL*16 for quadruple precision is rare, but some systems (Mathematica for one) allow specification of very high precision.

With regard to your mention of five-point stencil and minimisation, I'm not too clear on what you are attempting. By minimising, possibly you refer to minimising the error between the current (iterated) approximate solution on the actual solution of Laplace's equation across a grid of points, or similar. There is a large literature on this, and I have merely dabbled. In general terms, chasing a high-merit calculation at a grid point is probably not worth the effort, as the data at the adjacent positions are merely approximation to what they should be. Even so, there are plenty of many-point options (not just the four cartesian neighbours, but a larger disc) and associated formulae. I particularly note the existence of the four diagonal neighbours that, if the cartesian neighbours are one unit away, are sqrt(2) units away. Otherwise, they influence their central point only after a second iteration, amounting to being two units away. The overhead of incorporating them in an iteration's work is not great, but with still more points, it grows.

This problem can be attacked from the other direction: from the NxM grid of finite differences, generate a matrix of simultaneous equations of order NxM, and solve. Normally the labour would be great, but, this is a nearly diagonal matrix and can be solved easily (see Tridiagonal matrix and similar banded matrices) in effort of order NxM. Loosely speaking, about the same effort as iterating the finite-difference collection to a small tolerance, except that it gives near-exact results directly (that can then be polished with a few iterations).

Thus in general terms, if you are confronting an entirely new problem each time, then a simultaneous equations response might do well. If however the new problem is similar to a previous problem, then the previous problem's solution can be used as the starting point for the new problem's iteration, and convergence might be gratifying.

Help me write an article?
Hello, I saw your name on the WikiProject Chemical Engineering page, and I was wondering if you'd be willing to help me with Mixing (process engineering). It still needs a lot of work, including citations, but I think it deserves the attention of the people in the project. Also, please comment on the merger I've proposed with industrial mixer. I figure that a section on froth flotation wouldn't be out of place. Thanks!RSido (talk) 03:21, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

User group for Military Historians
Greetings,

"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.

Orphaned non-free image File:Interpol logo.png
Thanks for uploading File:Interpol logo.png. 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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Meiloorun  (talk) 🍁 07:00, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

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.
