Communicat often fails to read and understand before responding
There have been a number of issues in which it appears that Communicat failed to understand what was written by others.

He mis-identified a compliment from Novickas as coming from Tony Judt, bragging how that endorsement by Professor Judt trumped any comments by anyone in the WPMilHist project.

In a discussion of sources, Communicat was insistent he had been misquoted when the "ink was still dry", in the Brutal North Korea (Oberdorfer or Osterholm) controversy, , ,

Communicat's sources don't always say what he says they say
Over the past few months, many books which Communicat has quoted from contradict his cherry-picked quotations in other parts of the book. Hastings, Epic of Korea and Truman, Macarthur and Korea , Wainstock & Green.

Sometimes, his quotes do not accurately reflect the source. C's quote and the explanation by Edward321

He has acknowledged in the past that he did not actually read some of those books from which he was either quoting or using to support his position (Wigfall Green and Stephen Ambrose )

He has also stated his attitude on supplying page numbers: ''The material as submitted either has page numbers, or no page numbers, or page numbers that are not entirely accurate. This is because I don't want the refs to be plagiarised to the benefit only of college students who trawl these pages in search of reliable refs for their "own" essays.''

Communicat has been unable to remain civil

 * WP:NPA: as noted above, Communicat has been blocked multiple times for personal attacks. The attacks on me for which he was blocked involved him referring to me as incoherent and boring, with the further statement that I was among "those who seem to do the least actual editing". None of that is particularly distressing (I am boring, though neither of the other comments is true). On the other hand, he has alleged pro-American/Anti-Soviet bias , which does bother me somewhat. I also found his argument of bias through ommission troubling. I tried explaining to him when he made offensive statements or used a condescending tone that it was problematic  and . Nonetheless, his behaviour has continued.
 * Other demonstrations of a lack of civility that did not amount to personal attacks:, , , , , , , ,
 * He has also had negative interactions with a number of other users, most of whom were involved in a mediation attempt, which included Arnoutf, Binksternet, Paul Siebert, Moxy , and White Shadows (Requests for mediation/World War II (overview article)). Parsecboy, current Project Coordinator of the WikiProject Military History, also had some problematic interactions with Communicat but was not involved in the mediation attempt.

Deleted some of my comments, with a misleading edit summary defamatory personal attacks on communicat undone

Communicat exhibits WP:OWN
Communicat also tends to exhibit ownership issues in articles he edits, including in his most recent unblock request when he requested that he be unblocked so that he could delete two sentences in the Aftermath article.
