Convert
Thanks for your work editing and adding converts, and thanks for the beer! One of the convert fixes I often make can be seen in the following: Holding the mouse over the error message shows it is trying to use "-long" as the output unit. That's because of the way templates work: the unnamed parameters are: 6, km, -long.
 * → 6 km

If you edit this talk page section and "preview", a much more explicit error message is shown.

The fix is to explicitly show the output unit. A blank parameter can be used for the default. Or, the unit can be specified: Happy editing! Johnuniq (talk) 04:02, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
 * → 6 km
 * → 6 km


 * Thank you for this information. It's useful to know.
 * I see what you mean by 'more explicit' Face-smile.svg


 * I think I may be guilty of making the above mistake a couple, or so, times.
 * My  template coding script in AWB could do with a bit of polishing (so could my glasses sometimes), so I often end up making manual corrections.
 * I think that's where the errors creep in...
 * Sometimes the script throws out some very odd results; recently AWB has tried to 'convert' electric meters to electric feet!
 * Thanks again for all your help . Great work!
 * Best regards -- Marek . 69   talk

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! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 10:04, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Rollback on Charleston, South Carolina
Hi Marek69 - I was rather dismayed to see that you rolled back my good faith edits today on Charleston, South Carolina before I had even finished. No wonder I had trouble figuring out where I was in the article. My edits are not vandalism, but efforts to improve the article by adding information and cites (re: changes in population on the peninsula, NYC slave population as compared to Charleston's - need to add cite but have an RS - I see I confused the timing of the example and will fix), using active voice, and other edits. If you disagree with specific content, please let me know. I looked up the rules and it says: "Rollback should only be used to revert vandalism and should never be used to revert good faith edits or in content disputes." So please give me insight as to your objections, beyond that you thought I made too many edits. That does not seem to be covered by the WP rules on this. I've worked on the Charleston article before, as well as many articles about southern cities, 19th-century history of the South (including Denmark Vesey's rebellion), and am not some fly-by-night editor. Thanks for your interest in this topic.Parkwells (talk) 19:03, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi Thank you for your message. :-)
 * I'm looking at the edit history, could you point out which edit you are referring to?

AWB
Your AWB changes layout. I saw this on Western Wall. Please do not use AWB to change layout. Remember that editors are responsible for AWB edits just like for regular edits, and AWB is not supposed to be used to change layout. Debresser (talk) 13:48, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

New 10,000 Challenge for Canada
Hi, WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge is up and running based on The 10,000 Challenge for the UK which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. If you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Canada like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1600 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for Canada but fuelled by a contest such as The North America Destubathon to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. I would like some support from Canadian wikipedians here to get the Challenge off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile! Cheers. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:55, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia
Hi, WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest! Cheers.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:12, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

November 2016
Your recent editing history at Elihu Island shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

 * Hi thank you for you template message/warning.
 * As far as I can see, I reverted vandalism from a distruptive IP editor twice. This is not edit warring. The IP's edits had already been identified as disruptive and reverted several times before I was involved.
 * Kind regards -- Marek . 69   talk   02:03, 28 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you for responding. It wasn't entirely clear whether this was simple vandalism, or an edit war. RedPanda25 02:36, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

V-2 missile launch site, Blizna
Hello, Marek -- I have just finished copy-editing V-2 missile launch site, Blizna. It is an interesting article. I wanted to ask you what you thought about two things:

1) I see that in the third paragraph in the History section you have used the expression "crème de la crème". I'm not sure that is the best expression to use there. I know what you mean, but it seems inappropriate to use an expression that refers to the superlative of "good", that is, the best of the best, to describe military officers. I wonder if you would consider using another expression such as one of these:


 * highest-ranking officers
 * the very highest-ranking officers
 * elite officers
 * most elite officers

or perhaps another expression.

2) I notice that early in the article, such as at the beginning of the fourth paragraph in the History section, you have "intelligence" capitalized in "British Intelligence". However, later in the History section, toward the end of the second-to-last paragraph, you have "intelligence" in lower case: "British intelligence". Are these two phrases referring to different things? Is the first one the name of a government agency while the second refers to individuals working for the agency? If not, and they're referring to the same thing, then don't you think they should be consistent throughout the article? You could look at relevant articles to see which style is used most often. – Corinne (talk) 02:08, 28 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your work on the article and your suggestions for rewording.
 * I think you're right on the cream thing. More neutral.
 * The lower-case intelligence was a typo. I've just made the necessary changes.
 * Thank you! Face-smile.svg Marek . 69   talk   02:27, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

SS-Truppenübungsplatz Heidelager
Hello, Marek -- I have just completed a copy-edit of the article. I have a few concerns and questions for you:

1) The second sentence of the lead is the following:


 * The Nazi German troop training facility called HL-Heidelager was for the Ukrainian 14th Waffen SS Division "Galician", as well as other collaborationist military formations, including Estonian.

I have a few questions about this.


 * (a) I understand that "troop" in "troop training facility" means soldier, so it was a training facility for soldiers. However, even though I understand what a "troop training facility" means, more or less, it is not colloquial English. If you want it to sound more like the way people actually talk, it would be an "army training facility" (unless it was not for army soldiers but rather for soldiers in the air force, marines, navy, or coast guard). In the U.S., at least, the right word is used: army training facility, air force training facility, coast guard training facility, etc.


 * (b) Regarding the last part of the sentence,


 * other collaborationist military formations, including Estonian.


 * I know that "collaborationist" refers to collaborators – people who collaborated with the Nazis. I can guess what "military formations" are, but it is a bit vague. Perhaps "military units" would be better.


 * (c) Regarding the phrase "including Estonian", I know it means "including Estonian military formations [or units]", but I'm wondering whether "Estonian military formations/units" is sufficiently clear, or whether "military formations/units" from Estonia – "including those from Estonia" – would be clearer. I don't know. What do you think?

2) The next sentence in the lead is the following:


 * Their training included killing operations inside the camps and Jewish ghettos in the vicinity of Pustków and in the town itself, but most notably at the Pustków and Szebnie concentration camps nearby.


 * (a) It is not completely clear to whom "their" refers to. In the sentence just before this one, you have only one plural noun – collaborationist military formations – and one implied one – Estonian military formations. But those are not the only people that were trained at this facility. I think it would be clearer if you used a noun instead of the possessive adjective "their". Alternatively, you could change the beginning of the sentence to "The training at this facility", or just "The training".


 * (b) You mention camps, ghettos, the town, and then the camps again. Presumably the "Pustków and Szebnie concentration camps" refer to the same camps as "inside the camps". If this is correct, then how about putting the last phrase together with the first phrase:


 * The ir training included killing operations inside the concentration camps – most notably at the nearby Pustków and Szebnie camps – and Jewish ghettos in the vicinity of Pustków and in the town itself.


 * Were the Jewish ghettos "in the vicinity of Pustków"? If the ghettos were only in the town, then we can take out that phrase:


 * The training included killing operations inside the concentration camps – most notably at the nearby Pustków and Szebnie camps – and Jewish ghettos in the vicinity of Pustków and in the town itself.


 * What do you think of this wording for the third sentence of the lead?

3) The second and third sentences of the section SS-Truppenübungsplatz Heidelager are:


 * The establishment was built on an order from the Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler. He ordered this under provision OKW No. 3032 of 21 December 1939, which allowed for the erection of an SS military training centre in the area eastward of Dębica in Generalgouvernement Polen.


 * (a) Usually, an establishment is a business. Perhaps "facility" or "military base" would be better.


 * (b) You will see that you use the noun and verb form of the same word – order – twice in a row. I'm trying to think of a way to avoid this. How about this? --


 * The establishment facility was built on an order from the Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler . He ordered this under provision OKW No. 3032 of 21 December 1939, which allowed for the erection of an SS military training centre in the area eastward of Dębica in Generalgouvernement Polen.


 * The facility was built on an order from the Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler under provision OKW No. 3032 of 21 December 1939, which allowed for the erection of an SS military training centre in the area eastward of Dębica in Generalgouvernement Polen.

4) In the middle of the second paragraph in the History section you have these sentences:


 * Over its four-year history, the SS military training centre had several changes of name. In the planning stages, it had been given the name of "Ostpolen" as an SS military training centre from 21 December 1939 to 26 June 1940.

You will see that "SS military training centre" appears in each sentence. Do you really need the entire phrase in the second sentence? These sentences are about successive changes in name. I don't think the phrase "as an SS military training centre" is needed in the second sentence. Do you?

Then, two sentences later you have this sentence:


 * From 15 March 1943, the site was designated as SS military training centre "Heidelager".

Do you have to include "SS military training centre"? If you think it is needed because it is part of the name of the center, then shouldn't the entire phrase be in quotation marks? -- "...the site was designated as "SS military training centre Heidelager".

5) The last sentence of the second paragraph of the History section is the following:


 * The training range had been in use since the autumn of 1941 under the command of Oberführer-SS Werner von Schele.

You don't use the phrase "training range" before this, so the reader might wonder what it refers to. In fact, it is not clear what you mean by "training range". Do you mean the training facility, or do you mean something specific to shooting: a shooting range? (That's the only thing I can think of that uses the word "range".)

6) The fifth paragraph in the History section begins:


 * The total number of victims in the Pustków camp is unknown. Beginning in August 1944, the camp was disbanded and the survivors executed.

If all surviving prisoners were executed, and the camp was "abandoned in the summer of 1944 ahead of the Soviet advance" (sixth paragraph), then there was nobody to be evacuated after that. You start the seventh paragraph:


 * After the evacuation of the camp in the summer of 1944,

Evacuation does not mean the same thing as abandonment. Evacuation suggests a large number of people leaving, or being helped to leave, a place. Introducing this new word, after you have already said the surviving prisoners had been executed and the Nazis had abandoned the centre, is confusing. You could just substitute "abandonment" for "evacuation":


 * After the abandonment of the camp (you don't have to say "in the summer of 1944" because you just said that at the end of the sixth paragraph).

or you could use the verb form:


 * After the camp was abandoned.

Also, you're using different words again. You use "range" in the sixth paragraph, "camp" in the seventh paragraph, and "ground" in the eighth paragraph, whereas you used "centre" earlier in the article. I think it is best to use one word throughout the article, (or, at the most, two) unless you are referring to different things, in which case you need to be clear about what was what.

Feel free to make changes, including copying and pasting my suggested wording if you like the way it reads, and to ask me if you have any questions. – Corinne (talk) 05:15, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
