A tag has been placed on Maavägi, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

OrBat graphic
Hi Karabiner, excellent work on the Military of Estonia and Maavägi articles. I made the Estonian Army OrBat graphic. You have removed it and that is no problem. If you want to add it again to the article, tell me if there are any changes needed/wanted and I will update/redesign the graphic quickly. best regards, --noclador 05:26, 2 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Speedy deletion is NOT going to happen! Go to the Maavägi article - on the left site of the screen of wikipedia is a line: "What links here" click on it - you will see all other articles that link to Maavägi - an as you can see there is "speedy deletion link" and so your work is safe.
 * In the future: to make a page safe from deletion, make as many links a possible to it - i.e. link to Maavägi from all other Estonian military sites 1-2 times and look for articles that mention the Maavägi and link from there too (articles like ISAF NATO an so on :-)
 * and when writing something on a talkpage (ONLY talkpages!) and always at the end of your text - click on the symbol the arrow points to: [[Image:Tool help example.png]]
 * this will sign your comment for you - like I did here: --noclador 16:34, 2 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your note. I tend to agree that there are too many pictures in this article.  I think you could get by with half of them, or even fewer.  The number of images does make it difficult to read the text.  NawlinWiki 14:06, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags.

Re: Estonian images
Hi! The reason why the images were deleted can always be found in my deletion summary: CSD I4: Image lacking sources or licensing information for more than seven days This means that it was summarily deleted according to this policy because it didn't specify a source. All you have to do is put where you found the image in the description and it's OK. I can undelete these images if you have this information and are willing to do this. Please get back to me on my talk page. east. 718 at 00:17, December 18, 2007

Estonian poem
There is already an article at Mu isamaa, mu õnn ja rõõm.

Wikipedia is not the place to put texts or other literary works. The Estonian version should go to the Estonina Wikisource. Please enter it here:

et:s:Mu isamaa on minu arm

You should create an account at the Estonian Wikisource.

This is the place where readers would expect to find the text.

Regarding the English translation, it should go to s:My Country is My Love. Please read s:Wikisource:Translations first and create an account.

Andreas (T) 22:09, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Note that Mu isamaa, mu õnn ja rõõm is a national anthem and therefore a Wikipedia article could be justified. Mu isamaa on minu arm is mentioned in Lydia Koidula's article.

Please put the year the poem was created ir first published here: et:s: Lydia Koidula. Andreas (T) 22:23, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Of course I saw that the two poems are different. This is not my point. For everybody's convenience, I upladed the poem to the Estoninan Wikisource (Vikitekstid), you can find it by clicking on this link: et:s:Mu isamaa on minu arm.

I did not modify your text at all. The only thing I did to the page is to add the wikisource tag and a link to the wikisource article that I created (thi little icon withthe iceberg). I would also upload the English text to Wikisource, however, I think that is your job as you seem to be the author of the translation. If I am wrong, then please add the name of the translator. I think that you agree with me that all the Estonia literature should be at the same place where everybody can find it. That why the Estonian Wikisource was created in the first place. As a person who is familiar with Estoninan culture, it would be a great asset if you could contribute to our common effort to create a systematic approach to the world's knowledge. With best regards, Andreas  (T) 23:14, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

I want to invit you again to work on the English Wikisource. You should first create an author entry at s:Lydia Koidula. Look at other author entries to see how to format it. The upload the English translation of the song, and put "translator = wikisource" into the header. You should not put your name there, because we expect that others will ameliorate your translation, such that it will be a communal effort.

I still think that the English translation should be removed from the Wikipedia article and replaced by a link to Wikisource. The reason I propose this is that if there is duplication, it will be very difficult to keep them the same as other editors will pitch in and change your translation. Andreas (T) 23:52, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Article tags
Please do not remove tags put on articles unless you have addressed the issue. Wikipedia is a community of volunteers and we rely on courteous behaviour of all editors. Andreas (T) 22:32, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Wikisource articles
I edited your article in Wikisource. You should not put a lot of information about an author into Wikisource, this goes to Wikipedia. Just write one sentence about the author and put it into the description instead of 'An Estonian poet'. Do the same for other Estonian authors you wish to enter into Wikisource. When you have uploaded the English text (you definitely shoud do this), enclose the name of the poem in double brackets, so it can be accessed by clicking on the name. Upload your translation into s:My Country is My Love, and add the header template.

You should not put an entry about an author in Wikisource unless you have at least one work included in the database.

I noticed that there are very few texts in the Vikitekstid. Maybe you can find more classical estonian texts. Note that you should comply with copyright restrictions. I do not know what is the case for Estonian authors, but generally the authoer must be dead for at least 70 years. Andreas (T) 01:11, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

WIkisource
I copied your article to wikisource. You can see both versions side-by-side here or by clicking on the double-arrow at the left at  s:My_Country_is_My_Love. I removed some of the capital letters, see Capitalization. Andreas (T) 14:32, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Estonian kroon
Hi,

I've seen that you've added a lot of stuff to Estonian kroon and tried to make it like euro or USD. I just want to tell you that I partially revert your edit not because the information is false. I did so because of the guide line at WikiProject Numismatics/Style/Currency article. Euro and USD have more details that don't fit with the guide line. For example, the euro is a multinational currency where many languages are all considered official. That's why it has a funny way of showing different spelling at the top of the infobox. Greek is not an official language of Estonia, that's why I reverted your edit. In addition, I see that you plan to create "Estonian coins" and "Estonian banknotes". The naming convention would result in "Banknotes of the Estonian kroon" and "Coins of the Estonian kroon". Precedents include Banknotes of the Czech koruna, Banknotes of the pound sterling, and Banknotes of the Romanian leu. Thank you. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 06:23, 25 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Estonia has had different banknotes and coins - they ahve had also different names - for excample marks and kroons, sents and pennies. I think that it is not wise to create one big "Banknotes of the Estonian kroon" and "Coins of the Estonian kroon" as they would not represent the hole evolution of the Estonian currency. The name of Banknotes of Estonia and Coins of Estonia would collect all the currency types and names under it on the other hand.
 * I suggest that we could add the redirection after words - but the main name would be banknotes of Estonia - then i do not have to create "Coins of the Estonian pennies, ...Marks"...


 * Karabinier 24 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Your point is completely valid. As long as the format is "Coins of somewhere" or "Coins of some currency", I'm fine with it. It's just the "Xyzian coins" format that bothers me. In the past, there were Canadian banknotes, Philippine peso bills, and all sorts of formats. The Estonian mark and the Estonian kroon are kind of like the Australian pound and the Australian dollar. There is a Coins of Australia article as a summary. There are also Coins of the Australian pound and Coins of the Australian dollar because the information is too much to fit in one article. This is just my humble suggestion.


 * Also, currency unit such as kroon or euro should be sentence case, not capitalized. So if you don't disagree, I will move individual denomination articles such as 500 Krooni. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 10:31, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Hm I didnt quite understood what you meant under the "I will move individual denomination articles such as 500 Krooni"? As long as you dont attend to delete the pages about kroons different banknotes.. :P Karabinier 24 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, I don't mean to delete these pages. Just want to rename with lower case "k". --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 16:43, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

use of the otherships template
Certainly. The otherships template you were using has a specific purpose. As you will see, it says "For other ships with the same name see xxx". In this case, if there were other ships of the Estonian Navy named ENS Lembit (and I see from your user page that there were) then the established convention would be to have "ENS Lembit" as a disambiguation page. (See HMS Resolution or USS Enterprise for some examples). You would then disambiguate the existing article on the submarine by moving it to something like ENS Lembit (1936), and place at the top of the article the otherships template. This is what that template is designed to be used for, for linking to other ships that have the same name as the one in the article, so that readers who are looking for one of the other ships of that name can find their way to it.

You were using it to link to a related topic, i.e. the other submarine in the class. A link like this already exists in the article itself, and in the "see also" section. We don't include it specifically in the heading. For example, the British S class of submarines consisted of over 60 boats. If we were to list them using the otherships template then there would be an enormous list at the start of each article, which would be highly confusing and counter productive. The otherships template is basically to link to other ships with the same name, not other ships in the same class. You could also think about creating a class template as a footer, as another way of directing readers to the other submarine. Please feel free to ask any more questions, if any of this is unclear or you'd like some more pointers. Kind regards, Benea (talk) 15:47, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Non-Estonians
BTW, I don't think that 'Non-Estonians' in your edit remark is the correct term for "people without ANY citizenships". Normally, they are referred to as 'stateless persons'. N-lane (talk) 13:31, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Estonia and Latvia are exceptions on this scenario. It is due to the Soviet industrial immigration waves and ex-military personel of the occupation forces - of whom mayority left between 1991 and 1998 (Estonia and Russia agreement where Estonia had to invest money into new apartments for emigrants in Russia). In Lithuania for example there is no non-Lithuanian or stateless persons problem. It is due to the fact that in Lithuania there were never such a big scale Russification programs as there were in Latvia and Estonia. Also Lithuania granted everybody citizenship in 1990. Estonia and Latvia did not as only pre-war citizens regained their ethnic and juridically correct citizenship.Karabinier (talk) 15:53, 16 March 2008 (UTC)


 * To my opinion, 'Non-Estonian' = any person, who is not Estonian.

To a foreigner it is very hard and also weird to understand the difference between these 2 person groups. You dont find in any other country such situation easily. If it were that easy and clear to everybody then I would have not made re-changes into your made edit obviously. My goal here is to broadcast in my edits the accurate and the most realistic picture about my country. That includes the difficult political relations with Russia and their so-called the 5th colomn (your stateless people). The 5th colomn is an unofficial state-level nickname of these people - including Russians with Estonian citizenship. The colomn stands for unloyal people who would start looting and supporting the invasion forces once a war again would break between Estonia and Russia. Karabinier (talk) 16:47, 16 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I think it's not very hard for a foreigner to understand that Estonians in the ESSR were also Soviet citizens (that's why I removed the connection between 'Soviet' and 'Non-Estonian' in the context of the ESSR)
 * And I also hope that any foreigner would also understand that, say, a British or an American is a 'Non-Estonian' (at least in terms of citizenship). N-lane (talk) 15:11, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

The word non-Estonians have a position in the Estonian language and is regarded as a Russian speaking person mostly. Germans, Italians, Latvians, African X tribe people are not discribed as non-Estonias - they are called foreigners. This is how it goes in Estonia.


 * It's very interesting. But we are in the English wikipedia here, so I think it would be more appropriate to apply the rules of the English language in order not to confuse English speakers, who don't speak Estonian. N-lane (talk) 15:45, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

In ESSR there only Soviet citizens! There were no Estonians - one big Soviet family - which aim was create to so-called "homo soveticus" - the Soviet Human whose language would be Russian and whose culture would be based on the Russian one.Karabinier (talk) 15:53, 16 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Which, following your logic, means that the ethnic Estonians in the ESSR were 'non-Estonians' (i.e. Russians :) themselves. Still, you used the term 'non-Estonian' in the ethnic context (and not in the meaning of citizenship) when you wrote about immigration in the ESSR. N-lane (talk) 15:45, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Russification
Really "Russification only occured in the late 19th Century" and how you call then the 50 years of communism? Russification has been here with waves - during the period Estonia has been annexed or occupied by Russia, USSR, and some areas by the Russian Federation still are. The Name Estonia in the Russian Empire should be changed - as this title shows the voluntary belonging into the empire.Karabinier (Karabinier) 10:33, 17 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Because the period is about Imperial Russia. Therefore occupation of USSR has nothing to do with this section. For most of the time when Estonia was in the Russian empire, German language and culture was more dominant than Russian language and culture, so calling it "Period of Russification" is absolutely incorrect. Serious Russification only started in 1889, only 29 years before Estonia gained independence. Martintg (talk) 09:24, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Estonia-Kosovo foreign relations
An interesting suggestion. Yes, I am interested in a topic like this. However, I think that in order to keep Wikipedia consistent we should have a look at the existing country specific relation articles. Have a look at this for example:

There is Foreign relations of France which is dived into topics such as Anglo-French relations. There are no articles for every country. Besides 🇪🇪 Estonia,  Kosovo and such are not the best-known countries. Kosovo has issues with numerous nations and there should be a separate article for everyone of them if there should be one for Estonia.

Have a look at these and see if Estonia could be included or expanded in some of them if it's relevant and is missing:


 * Foreign relations of Kosovo
 * International reaction to the 2008 Kosovo declaration of independence
 * 2008 Kosovo declaration of independence
 * Controversy over Kosovo independence

Hello there, Karabiner!
Hi. Regarding your changes in various Macedonia-related articles, please keep in mind that the versions you see, especially regarding the Macedonia naming dispute and the historic references, they are discussed to exhaustion in numerous talkpages and archives. Please, before making any huge changes, get yourself familiar with the consensus on those talkpages. Also, please take a note of the WP:ARBMAC (an Arbitration Committee case on the issue), and of WP:MOSMAC (a set of guidelines for referring to the terms related to Macedonia). Thank you. NikoSilver 13:41, 4 April 2008 (UTC)


 * The consensus is that he was Greek and that MAcedonians were Greek.The modern political issues with the slavic state and slavic people in the North of Greece is unrelated as they are.


 * "fficially and internationally recognized by both sides" is this some sort of joke?Megistias (talk) 12:17, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

This is however not recognized in a lot of countries and neither does it say anythign such in history books. Macedonians are a southern slavic nation. There are history films and documentaries, also on youtube made by western countries which say the opposite. I am not here to continue the never ending fight between Greeks and Macedonians - we have one here with the Moscow-Soviets and Putin - What I want to do here is that this should end on wikipedia and that wikipedia should provide the both sides claims until both sides find an agreement on the origin. Also that it would be internationally and academically recognized. At the moment it is not. Karabinier (talk) 15:27, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Eesti ajalugu ja propaganda
Holocaust ei tähenda suvalist massitapmist. Nimi tuleneb vanast kreeka keelest ja tähendab täielikku põletamist. Eeskätt kasutatakse seda III Reichi poolt läbi viidud juutide, mustlaste, homode jm inimgruppide hävitamisena. Nõustun Sinuga, et NSV Liidu inimohvrite arv on tunduvalt suurem, kuid see ei anna alust seda kutsuda holocaustiks. Termin nõukogude holokaust on puht propagandistlik. Esiteks, nagu ma seda sõna muutes toonitasin, ei sobi propaganda Wikipediasse. Sellisel juhul ei suudaks Peipsi tagant tulevaid artikleid kogu aeg parandadagi, vaid meid ujutataks üle propaganda tulvaga. Venekeelses Wikipedias on see juba täitsa toimumas. Teisalt ei ole propaganda ka Eesti seisu kohalt hea väljavaade. Lihtsakoeline propaganda töötab propagandisti vastu tihtipeale. Lisaks sellele me ei vaja seda. Meil on ju suuremalt jaolt õigus - NSV Liit viis läbi tohutud inimsusevastased kuriteod. Seega oleks hea poliitiliselt korrektseks jääda ja mitte lasta tunnetel enda üle võimus haaramast.

A question
Hi, I've noticed you've been doing some good work on creating some articles on Estonian Navy ships. I wonder if you might be able to shed some light on a question I've raised at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ships Kind regards, Benea (talk) 20:13, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

BMP-1 in Estonia?
Hello!

The discussion about possible existence of BMP-1 IFVs in Estonian Army is interesting. From what I know Soviet/Russian motorized units stayed in Baltic republics (Baltic Military District) in 1980s-beg.1990s were equipped with quite many BMP-1, perhaps, a few could be left there after withdrawal of Russian units. But despite the fact that quite many Russian and foreign online sources mention that Estonian Army had(has) BMP-1 IFVs I never saw the exact number of BMP-1 in Estonian Army (if so).

The best Russian reference-books I have mention the following - Estonian Army has BTR-152 (4), BRDM-2 (7), MAMBA Alvis-4 (8), BTR-80 (75), Sisu XA-180 (57). BMP-1 is not mentioned.

I very much tend to believe at the moment that Estonia doesn't have BMP-1 IFVs.

Regards, Vladimir--Vladimir Historian (talk) 10:24, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

The BTR-152 and BRDM-2 is also a very mysterious thing as there are no official numbers about those vehicles - I have seen some photos from military parades in other cities where such machines are on the parades - that proofs that these machines really are in active use. On the second hand no website has ever presented them - army ones I mean. The real number of BTR-80s is also questionable as I have heard from some soldiers and officers in the forums that most of these machines exist only on papers and around 20-30 are in fighting condition. The Mamba Alvis number is 9 instead of 8. Xa-180 used to be 60 now there 57 left as 3 were lost during the Afghanistan war which still keeps going on. Recently Sweden has offered 350 BMP-1 vehicles to any foreign country which would buy minimum 50 of those. If Estonia would obtain some of those well-preserved-modernized BMP-1 then they would be the first ones to arrive and wear Estonian colors - very unlikely to happen though. Thanks for writing and giving information!Karabinier (talk) 14:48, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Estonia did not declare the Soviet Army weapons and vehicles Estonian property in 1991 due to several factors unlike most of the former USSR countries - for example Georgia, Armenia etc. BTR-80s were obtained from a Soviet Russian higher officer living Estonia - the vehicles were taken by force as they possessed a threat and there was a serious weapon demand-need among the restored Estonia Defence Forces. During the Soviet occupation there were numerous tanks, infantry, motorized infantry, air force strategic bomber, navy, submarine and also nuclear units in Estonia. There might be some BMP-1 vehicles only on the test grounds and firing sectors for practice targets though I doubt seriously about that. BMP type of machines entered 1991, during the Moscow Coup, Estonia - and a lot of these machines were deserted near the Tallinn-Narva highway as they broke down during the drive towards Tallinn. I have not found any records about that some of those broke machines would have been taken into the EDF machine park. In 1994 when the Soviet - now already under a new name Russian Army left Estonia, all the machinery was taken along. One of the reasons why Estonia did not declare these weapons as a property of the republic was a reason that Estonia then would have had to buy spare parts and ammunition from Russia for a long time to come. The second main reason was that the soviet machinery was considered very low quality and high cost to upkeep them.

Hello, thank you for the interesting information. I just don't agree with claimed low quality of Soviet AFVs because it is better in some aspects than of corresponding NATO AFVs but with one important assumption - trained technical service which was (and is) quite often neglected in Soviet/Russian Army.

Estonia article
You seem to be having an issue with Tuurkun over the Estonia article. I think this should be mediated, I can help with this. What are the issues with Tuurkun's edits? Martintg (talk) 20:58, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Military under politics - its wrong - military is an independent chapter as Estonian armed forces are lead by Commander in Chief not the Ministry of Defence face-to-face level.
 * Demographics - Ethnic and cultural diversity is enough for headings, the language section was previuosly mentioned, with main article tags. there should not be massive amount of headings if there isnt much to write about it.
 * Economy - sectors - what does it show to ordinary reader who might not be very educated about the economics and economical termins - agriculture, industry - everybody understands without second thoughts.
 * Government - infrastructure - also E-government and E-Infra.. these are things which have placed Estonia onto worlds map as one of the leading IT countries - Turkuun version deletes all of this.
 * Administrative divisions - the name might be okey though counties would be also okey. Municipalities and the largest cities - pointless headings - would make more sense - Counties->Municipalities and cities like my version had. No need to mentioned largest cities - these cities arent something amazingly new or valuable info on a nations articles.

Another thing with the last election results - thats good information no doubt but in a wrong article. Also I added the current coalition into the country info box.
 * This page is about a nation - its about giving a short summary about as many topics about the country as possible - details and amazing details belong to "main articles" - for example is Andrus Ansip photo really necessary on the article - Estonia has prime minister - its a political position - it has been mentioned in the country info box whose the PM of E.


 * About Turkuun calling or naming my contributions-deletions on the Estonia article as vandalism is smth which I wont comment because thats not worth my comments.

My proposal - the build-up should remain as it is - the heading frame I created for the article. The economy-science-education could-should have some heading upgrade-changes. But the main frame (which in my opinion gives makes it very easy to surf and obtain info from the needed-interesting article section) should remain unchanged. Also questionable info adds which could easily belong into main articles should go to main articles first.


 * I dare to question Turkuuns overview and knowledge about Estonia and the Estonian culture - his right to make final decisions about the article changes...

Karabinier (talk) 01:02, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Why the largest industries in Estonia do not deserve a single word? What is wrong with machinery and metal industries? Why you delete Estonia's success in food and electronics industries? Why everything must be dedicated to pollution? Where are your references for statements like "Oil shale (or kukersite) and limestone deposits, along with forests which cover 47% of the land, play key economic roles in this generally resource-poor country."? Well, there ain't any, because oil shale accounts for 1% of employement and 4% of GDP, out of which mining is even smaller part, around 1% of GDP. It's seems you are trying to bash Estonia instead of helping provide objective information about Estonian economic composition. Objective information would be like economic statistics by Statistics Estonia, which you delete. Pollution is a big problem, especially in Ida-Virumaa, but so it is in dozens other countries. China, Russia, or Czech Republic are some of the most polluted in the world, but their country articles are not portraying them as pollution-dominated economies. Estonia has made huge progress, cutting some measures by an order of magnitude, which you also delete. Wikipedia is not a place for original research, which means you have to provide references instead of deleting references to statistics that do not support your prejudices.
 * And if ordinary reader does not understand what is food industry, then the reader can simply look at the explaining article.19:43, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Also electronics is mentioned in the article - in science and IT industry - therefore these deletions are justified. Your source which states - your understanding of the source - that oil-shale and mining plays LOW role in the Estonian economy is inaccurate. More than 90% of the electricity produced in Estonia comes from mining industry-oil-shale. Also the CO2 gas quotes are related to this issue where Estonia spends billions of krones in order to obtain them or to sell them in the open market. Before stating statistics you should learn and understand the basics of the countries economy and functioning instead of adding inaccurate text sections with references which are provided to back up not so correct text. This is a serious problem in your upgrades! I believe my knowledge about the country where I am contributing should not be questioned in the terms wikipedia article Estonia. Neither am I a noob or newbie on wikipedia. Ive made nearly 2500 edits to improve various articles, created tens numbers templates and pages. I believe I can say that I do no qualify under a vandal in wikipedia.Karabinier (talk) 00:38, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * First of all the food industry IS ALREADY mentioned in the article - look cuisine section - issues relating with food should go to there. Estonia was till the start of the WW II an agriculturing country mainly - not today where agriculture makes less then 5% of the total industry.
 * Second of all I have provided references to sections where I have contributed. To state that I do not add references is a lie. Look at my contribution into the article from the history timeline - continues improvement with either image, reference etc adding. Third of all "It's seems you are trying to bash Estonia instead of helping provide objective information about Estonian economic composition." you should think before when you add such statements. My goal is only to improve and to make the article better so it could obtain the featured article title and that the article would be protected against vandalism and false information-references.

Another image question
Hi, you have uploaded a large number of images, mostly Estonian military photographs, under a description of "SfR images; Created by Sf-Karabinier". What does this mean, "SfR"? Are you the photographer? Is there a source? Fut.Perf. ☼ 12:45, 22 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello, would you please answer my question? Fut.Perf. ☼ 22:26, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Karabinier talk 01:36, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh sorry for not answering to your question - there is a big problem with one of the article where a certain user is causing severe damages. This has taken away most of my attention - so again i am sorry for not answering str8 away to your question! I am not a professional photographer though I do make-take time to time some images. SfR is an image title which I use in the pc to manage the images. The images which I have uploaded are a free-ware on the military web page - there is no sign stating copyright ownership over the images. If to call or email them asking whteher the EDF would allow its public symbol to be used in wikipedia I beleiev the answer would be a certain yes. I can do that if this is necessary to keep those images as they are currently? If yes then please let me know about that.


 * Thanks for the answer. I'm afraid it's not so easy. All images found elsewhere on the web that were created by somebody else, are by default assumed to be copyrighted and hence unuseable. (There are limited classes of exceptions, such as very old works, or in some countries official state symbols.) Images don't need to be explicitly marked for copyright in order to be copyrighted. Also, it would not be enough for the owners to just state they don't mind us using them. They would have to release the images explicitly under a license that allows anybody, not just Wikipedia, to use them for any purpose. We take these things very seriously here. Of course, it would be great if you could get them to do that, but state bodies are usually not very forthcoming about such things.
 * I'd ask you to go through all your image uploads and check if you can truthfully say you have such a license. By the way, why did you mark the ones I asked about as "created by Sf-Karabinier" (i.e. you), when they were not in fact created by you but taken from the web? I also notice there seem to be a lot that you declared as "self-made" where this sounds rather fishy. If there are other images for whose copyright you can't really account, please come clean about them now; remove them from any pages they are used on and mark them for deletion with db-author. Feel free to ask if you have further questions. Thanks, --Fut.Perf. ☼ 22:53, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:Estonia-1944-German occupations forces in front of the Tartu University in Tartu.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Estonia-1944-German occupations forces in front of the Tartu University in Tartu.jpg. Unfortunately, I think that you have not provided a proper rationale for using this image under "fair use". Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. Note that the image description page must include the exact name or a link to each article the image is used in and a separate rationale for each one. (If a link is used, automated processes may improperly add the related tag to the image.  Please change the fair use template to refer to the exact name, if you see this warning.)

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I don't feel that the "Source", "Portion used", "Purpose of use", or "Replaceable?" fields are filled out properly. Don't hesitate to leave me a message on my talk page if you have any questions or need anything, I'm always glad to help. delldot  talk  15:20, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Wait a second
Hi there. Please don't make medal infoboxes for sportspeople who haven't won any medals. Don't put the tag "athlete" on sportspeople who are not athletes. Overall, could you try to have at least a little quality in your articles and not just one sentence? Punkmorten (talk) 10:57, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Oh yes the medal record label up there. didnt notice that. Well is it possible to create a seperate box just like the medal record holders for the sportsmen who havent won any yet? Karabinier (talk) 13:59, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Just creating the articles and then going to fix the small errors there. Give me a minute or 2...
 * There are separate templates known as infoboxes for each sport. Punkmorten (talk) 11:02, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Estonia at the 2008 Summer Olympics
Please do not undo the work i have done at the above article. I am in the process of standardising all Category: Nations at the 2008 Summer Olympics articles to a style discussed extensively at Wikiproject Olympics. Thanks Basement12 (T.C) 14:39, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Also you probably shouldn't mark edits as minor when you are changing large amounts of formatting. Cheers. Basement12 (T.C) 15:21, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

These positions are not "final positions" as you state as the athletes did not advance to the final. Hence only their positions in qualifying/heats are shown. This is the approved style seen at Great Britain, USA, Australia and many other countries. Estonia should be consistent with all these other articles. Formatting these articles for style is a lenghthy process and I take offense at you refering to it as vandalism. Basement12 (T.C) 18:40, 22 August 2008 (UTC)


 * The results of these sprotsmen which represented the nation are important for the nation about which the article is about. I do not agree in this matter that this data is irrelevant. Karabinier.Karabinier 21:43, 22 August 2008 (U

The information on positions is still there merely in the correct place under heat or qualifying results. Most olympic sports do not recognise placings outside of the finals. Even if personnal or seasons bests were to be included they would need to be properly refernced which is very hard to do. National records however easily be verified and should be included I have raised the issue of your undoing my edits at Wikiproject olympics. Basement12 (T.C) 18:52, 22 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Since when most olympics do not recoqnice placings outside the finals??? Every one of them has recognized them by so far and also nations and national olympic organization recognize them!

Karabinier.Karabinier 21:55, 22 August 2008 (U


 * Placings in athletics track events are not for example. An athlete finishing 8th in the slowest heat of 10 would not be said to have finished 80th for example. Rankings in heats should be given, although not along with the heat number as this will mean nothing to the reader. Basement12 (T.C) 19:00, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:EStonia-23. Februaruy 1918 in Pärnu-declaration of independence.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:EStonia-23. Februaruy 1918 in Pärnu-declaration of independence.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:18, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Your uploads
Good day. I see that you have uploaded a number of images to Wikipedia. First off, thank you for your contributions. Unfortunately, there are some guidelines that we need to follow with copyrighted images. Specifically, you need to add a source for the image (a link to a website will do), a copyright tag (there are some listed at WP:ICT), and a rationale explaining why we can use a copyrighted image (explained at WP:NFURG). I see that your images fail to include one of these. Please stop uploading images and address the concerns listed above. If you need assistance, you can ask at the help desk. If you do not fix these images, and you continue to make bad uploads, you will be blocked and your images will be deleted. Thanks for your contributions! STBotI (talk) 11:26, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for File:Chief of Division (Estonia).gif}
Thank you for uploading File:Chief of Division (Estonia).gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Images of Estonian banknotes
I tagged all of the images of Estonian banknotes uploaded by you with request for speedy deletion. The permission/licence given in all of the images was incorrect, the correct template being Template:EEK_banknote.

Proposed deletion of Estonian space program
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Estonian space program, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Such national program or institution does not even exist. Space research in Estonia is only marginal and there is no central agency behind it.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Re:2009 Georgian troop mutiny
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors.

Hello Karabinier. There is still time for you to add a comment in the WP:AN3 discussion that makes a realistic proposal for stopping the war.

Request for help
I thought it might be a good idea to run a contest or two through the Countries WikiProject to attract editors to improve country coverage on Wikipedia, especially the country outlines.

I noticed you are a member of the WikiProject, and was wondering if you could help.

I've posted a message at Countries WikiProject talk page to get discussion started on what the awards programs should be and how they should be run.

Your ideas and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Estonian Olympic winners.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Estonian Olympic winners.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:21, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Estonian-Constitution.jpg

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Difference in rank insignia system
Hi there, I'm currently improving the german articles about the Kaitseliit and Kaitsevägi. Therefore, I need a bit help in understanding the rank insignia system. There are 3 rank insignia systems, one each for the army, navy and air force. I found this, so I wondered, if there is another rank insignia system especially for the Kaitseliit. Then I guessed, this insignia system indicates the function of the wearer. So, I need some translation. What's the difference between a malev and a malevkond? And what does Kaitseliidu Vanematekogu liige, Kaitseliidu Keskjuhatuse valitud liige mean? -- Dias87 (talk) 05:38, 16 December 2009 (UTC) Secondly the translations: malev and malevkond are two different level military groupings. The best excample would be probably a battalion and a company mutual relations in the hierarhia system - as malevkond is a smaller unit of a malev, of which the last one is the biggest regional unit of the Kaitseliiit. There can be multiple malevkonds in a single malev: like in Tallinn. The other two "ranks" are in my understanding non-military ranks - more and less civilian or staff ranks among the Kaitseliit. Kaitseliidu Vanematekogu liige - The member of the National Guards Elderly Board" (where elderly means senior or mentor) and "Kaitseliidu Keskjuhatuse valitud liige - The selected Central Commmitee member of the NG. During war-time these ranks probably loose-have-transmit their duties to andother rank or purpouse. Karabinier (talk) 21:08, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * First of all thanks for making a contribution for the Estonian military articles in german. The Estonian military is divided into 3 main arms - Air, Naval and Ground forces. It has also a fourth arm known as the Kaitseliit which is sort of the American National Guard type of an organization. The Air and Ground arm share the same ranks system but the other two have their one - Naval and Kaitseliit ranks.


 * Thanks for translation. Regarding to the "ranks", in my opinion these insignia indicate the level of commmandership. They are usually worn at the collar patch together with the real rank insignia on the shoulders.

Does the Kaitseliit use the rank insignia of the Ground Forces ? Because I didn't find any rank system for the Kaitseliit, just some pictures. These pictures confused me, because there, the soldiers wear differnt uniform colours ( brown, green, blue).

Since I can't read estonian and found no english official site of the Estonian Defence League School, it would be great, if you could create an article in english. --Dias87 (talk) 01:21, 17 December 2009 (UTC)


 * No, the Kaitseliit has their own military ranks and hierarhy but they share the same military uniforms. The Kaitseliit webpage has the organization ranks there. These pictures you wathced are the different sub-organizations of the Kaitseliit. Light blue shirts and dark blue trousers - Young Eagles, dark skirts and light blue shirts and funny looking hats and yellow ties are the Home Daughters etc.

Well, I rather meant the first 3 pictures. Are these guys members of the Kaitseliit ? Because of their different colored uniforms. --Dias87 (talk) 19:18, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * No, the first three ones are Ground Force and air Force uniforms.

Speedy deletion nomination of Politsei- ja Piirivalveamet
A tag has been placed on Politsei- ja Piirivalveamet, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Karabinier! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

Rammkommando &quot;ELBE&quot;
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Rammkommando &quot;ELBE&quot;, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Sonderkommando Elbe. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 21:43, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Warning: Copy and paste move
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give a different title by copying its content and pasting it into. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut and paste move repair holding pen.

Supervision at Estonian Military-related article
Hey there, Karabinier - since I've seen, that you have basic skills in german language, I'd like to ask you to check my german article about the estonian military due to the fact, that you have more fairly more knowledge about that topic. I gained the information from the official Websites and the english, estonian and russian wikipedia.


 * Estnische Streitkräfte - Eesti Kaitsejõud
 * Estnische Verteidigungsstreitkräfte - Eesti kaitsevägi
 * Estnisches Heer - Eesti Maavägi
 * Estnische Marine - Eesti Merevägi
 * Estnische Luftwaffe - Eesti Õhuvägi
 * Estnischer Verteidigungsbund - Kaitseliit

Unfortunately, there were some problems with the exact numbers, e.g. of vehicles, planes, reservists, active soldiers, deployed soldiers at mission. It would be great, if you could check all that information and give me a short summary about the mistakes. Thank you ! -- Dias87 (talk) 14:57, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 04:16, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Quibik (talk) 18:45, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Estonia at the IAAF Championships
Hi! You made that article, but it is empty. Are you going to do something with that? I will maybe help you also.

Oh, and could you check Estonia at World Ski Championships. There is said that Estonia has competed in 1936. But there was no FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 1936? Are you sure Estonia competed in 1937, 1938, 1939, 1991 also? Where to find references? Pelmeen10 (talk) 17:00, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Equipment of the Estonian Defence Forces requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

File source problem with File:EWallveelaevKalev (cropped).jpg
Thank you for uploading File:EWallveelaevKalev (cropped).jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

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.

Replaceable fair use File:Estonian Sisu Pasi XA-188 on Kevadtorm 2014.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Estonian Sisu Pasi XA-188 on Kevadtorm 2014.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 08:56, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

The 1000 Challenge (Baltic)
Hi. I see you are listed as a member of a WikiProject of a Baltic state. I was wondering if anybody who actively works on Estonian, Lithuanian or Latvian articles, would be interested in launching your own The 1000 Challenge (Baltic), based on the The 1000 Challenge (Nordic) and The 10,000 Challenge. The idea would be to try to bring about 1000 article improvements and creations on this region as an enjoyable challenge and potentially things like National Contests with prizes. If you'd be interested and think it's something you might regularly contribute to, comment and sign up at Talk:Baltic states. If there is interest we can move this to a project somewhere and set something up, thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 19:26, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 04:57, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to!

March Madness 2017
G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other 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 military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

2017 Military Historian of the Year and Newcomer of the Year nominations and voting
As we approach the end of the year, the Military History project is looking to recognise editors who have made a real difference. Each year we do this by bestowing two awards: the Military Historian of the Year and the Military History Newcomer of the Year. The co-ordinators invite all project members to get involved by nominating any editor they feel merits recognition for their contributions to the project. Nominations for both awards are open between 00:01 on 2 December 2017 and 23:59 on 15 December 2017. After this, a 14-day voting period will follow commencing at 00:01 on 16 December 2017. Nominations and voting will take place on the main project talkpage: here and here. Thank you for your time. For the co-ordinators, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:35, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

File source problem with File:ENCB-1.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:ENCB-1.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 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.
