Thanks for the laugh.
I am well over half a century old, and almost always edit WP as a form of relaxation, at least when I can suffer fools gladly, a habit which WP inculcates over the years. This morning I had six injections and three biopsies (just preventative) and then spent the afternoon (once I could negotiate her icebound parking lot) going over a five-lb (and I do mean 2kg+) stack of papers with my lawyer.

On the way home I stopped at an AA meeting not from temptation, but because I would get out of my own head and then just as I got to my street, some driver who had backed out of his driveway, and had a wide clear path to proceed slammed on his horn for no possible reason as I passed him. I suppose because he thought I was going to fiddle with his markup from the other side of the street?

I saw your ping, and thought, oh God, not this, not still. But I got a laugh out of it, because otherwise I'd never have read how he ended his WTF bawling. Thanks, and I love the fish. Check out the Afrothere composite I have begun working on on my user page if you like that sort of thing. μηδείς (talk) 01:56, 10 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.

For the Milhist co-ordinators, AustralianRupert and MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 10:54, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

If you are interested in running, please sign up here by 23:59 UTC on 14 September! Voting doesn't commence until 15 September. If you have any questions, you can contact any member of the coord team. Cheers, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:53, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
