Welcome to the Military history project
 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 very frequently. 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 highly recommended that you [ watchlist it].
 * The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, writing contests, article logistics, and other tasks.
 * We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
 * We've developed a style guide that covers 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 and copy-editing alerts.
 * The project has a stress hotline available for your use.

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! Woody (talk) 10:30, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Getting started
Well, the Chinese military history task force would be a good place to start. This template lists some of the articles that need starting/cleanup/expansion. Make sure you read the relevant policies: especially the verifiability one. Everything on Wikipedia needs to be verifiable if someone wants to question the source. So, I would be careful when editing without sources that are verifiable. And, in reference to List of destroyer classes, you can edit it yourself to remedy the issues as long as you can provide sources to back it up. If you have any questions, or need any help, then don't hesitate to ask. Regards. Woody (talk) 19:49, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

What do Seminoles eat for dinner in Florida?
Gator tail! I appreciate it. What pages do you frequent that I've stopped by on (or possibly written)? Oh, you may get us this year, but as soon as Bobby is outta here, and Jimbo has 100% control (currently, he has about 85-90%) it will be a completely different story.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  15:51, 7 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I've written those Smallville pages. I'm working on a rewrite for the Freddy Kreuger page at the moment (similar to what I've done with Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers (Halloween)). I don't follow college football that much. I watch the games, and I worked with one of the players on the team in my internship, so I have some inside info, but that's about it. From what I hear, next year is going to be our year (though, I hope it's this year).   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  13:19, 8 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Always looking for assistance. If you find any reliable sources, you can either dump them at User talk:Bignole/Sandbox, or you can go ahead and add it to the sandbox yourself. If you check it out you'll see that I haven't even begun the literature section. If you want to take a look at how I handled Jason's literature section, and Michael's literature section, and spruce that up (in case you cannot find any sources and just want to help) please feel free. It's been awhile since I've worked on that sandbox (been busy trying to get all those Smallville articles up to snuff...the latest one was Characters of Smallville, which I created to house the 7 season articles on all the characters in the show).   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  15:14, 8 August 2008 (UTC)


 * That'll be cool too.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  15:23, 8 August 2008 (UTC)


 * The user page looks good. As for the article, I don't know a lot about articles on "real world" things, so I don't know if it meets the notability requirements for a specific subject (if there is one for government bodies...It could be this guideline). At first glance it looks ok, but you may want to remove the citation from the header. Typically, they shouldn't be there because it upsets the coding in the header program (Hence why the line underneath is connected to the text, instead of spaces away).

Userbox
Sorry I didn't get to reply faster, I've been out of town. Sure, I can make that box for you! I'll get right on it! Do you by any chance have a like to an image of the Navy CT Rank insignia? ~  PH  DrillSergeant ... §  20:23, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Here you go! And welcome to Wikipedia! ~  PH  DrillSergeant ... §  02:30, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Also: as a note, your signature links to User:Bignole's page. You might want to fix that! ~  PH  DrillSergeant ... §  02:33, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Making userboxes into one line like that isn't difficult. It uses Wikipedia's template engine as a shortcut. First, create a new page in your userspace (like User:Jaguitar/NewUserbox). Design your userbox in that page -- Instructions on how to make a userbox are available at WP:UBX. When you're done, take the link to that page and put brackets around it in the page so it looks like this:




 * When you do that, it will appear as that userbox. the one I posted up above would look like this:




 * If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me! I hope I haven't made it too confusing. ~  PH  DrillSergeant ... §  02:42, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Please see here for information: WP:OTRS.   Ase ' nine ' '' 20:13, 12 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Note also that it is not sufficient for Mrs. Kiester to release "this photo to accompany her biographies, as printed in her books, and alongside articles in other media" - it must be freely available for anyone to use for any purpose; this would include commercial purposes and even unflattering purposes. You can see a sample permission here --Rlandmann (talk) 20:26, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It would depend on what license she released it under. She would have to declare it through OTRS anyway.   Ase ' nine ' '' 09:44, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Much appreciated. Feel free to drop me a line if you ever need more help! ~  PH  DrillSergeant ... §  05:43, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

File source problem with File:ILRlogo.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:ILRlogo.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
