Matthew Modine
Hey - I guess Modine wants my 2008 photo of him replaced, because he had lighter hair back then and isn't a fan of my shot. I have a really nice shot of him I took at the premiere of PoliWood (film), the problem is I was having problems with my flash, and it didn't go off. As you can see, my Photoshop attempts have produced too much noise. I was wondering if you would ping my e-mail, and I can send the raw version to you and see what you come up with? I have proper shots with flash, but this is the most flattering of all (of course). -->David Shankbone  23:55, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

FYI
Do you remember asking User:Yachtsman1 to clearly state whether his work on Guantanamo related topics was a conflict of interest?

Could you please review his comments here? Geo Swan (talk) 12:12, 23 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I still have no conflict of interest, I just disagree with Geoswan's proposition that any DOD member identify him or herself as a matter of principle as it provdes a ready-made motive for striking any and all contributions on these subjects. Just thought you should know from where my opinion stems.--Yachtsman1 (talk) 17:58, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your work on the Claymore mine. As a point of information, can you confirm that there is some sort of official device to make the mine detonate by tripwire (laser, IR beam, whatever)? I am long-retired, and know how to make it work with batteries and a clothes pin, but is there a real method for this? I have seen it in video games, but that is not a cite.

Fair use rationale for File:Game screenshot, gunners view, m1 tank platoon, ibm pc vga.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Game screenshot, gunners view, m1 tank platoon, ibm pc vga.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk  06:23, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

I see you may be the originator of the MK 24 Mine article. My grandfather worked on that project for Bell Labs. I recently found some old photos and information in a box in my mothers basement. I also located a living member of the Harvard Underwater Sound Lab (HUSL) who also worked on this project and he has some great additional information. How do I add this to the article?

photo help
Hi - don't know if you're the right person to ask for help but I'm at my wits end trying to source a photo for the Nancy Price article. Am I right in thinking that an image is free to use 70 years after the photography has died (in the uk)? Bassano who died in 1913 took photos of Nancy Price in 1912 - could these be used to illustrate the article? there's one here :http://www.flickr.com/photos/32348795@N05/3237592867/in/pool-httpwwwflickrcomgroups661634n24/#/photos/32348795@N05/3237592867/in/pool-661634@N24/ but obviously that's on Flickr I'm stuck basically - if you can help (or can recommend someone else who can) I'd be really gratefulExcellentone (talk) 20:32, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:38, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Chaparral Mim-72.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.

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.

Jane Simpson, et al WP:PRODs
Hi,

I noticed you've vetoed a couple of WP:PRODs. I feel like your opinion might be different if you know the backstory here.

For the last few days I've been tracking a set of sockpuppets that had written extensive promotional material about London divorce lawyers and associated people affiliated with a particular firm, Manches LLP. You can take a look at the archived investigation here. (From what I understand, this was a cross-wiki sock network, which means these folks are banned indefinitely from all WMF sites.)

Given that the person who nominated these articles also nominated other less-clearly-notable articles that were mainly created/edited by this sock network, or perhaps other unknown socks of the same network, I don't think there is any bias motivating the nominations. I also don't see a whole lot of WP:N there, though I am certainly sensitive to your arguments regarding systemic bias. I would like to argue that you allow these WP:PRODs to move forward, or at the very least, dig up non-promotional WP:RS that establish WP:N and add them to the article. I wasn't really able to do so myself, and it's honestly not my forte either -- I was much more concerned about the socking itself. The WP:PROD allows us to establish if there was anyone else interested in actively improving the articles. If you are not actively interested in improving them, my personal feeling is that they should be allowed to be deleted, with no bias against re-creation of course.

Would welcome your thoughts or comments. Please reply on my talk page.

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.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

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) 08:36, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

User group for Military Historians
Greetings,

"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.

ORDATA template
Hi Megapixie

I'm contacting you as the original author of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:ORDATA

ORDATA has moved: it's now at https://ordata.info

Worse: all the ID numbers have been reassigned, so all 61 pages that use the template must presumably be individually updated.

As an inexperienced editor and a non-military-historian, I'm wary of undertaking this task in case, through lack of knowledge, I make things worse. I've also posted on the template's talk page.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive
G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
 * updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Proposed deletion of File:Entac Missile.jpg


The file File:Entac Missile.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Orphaned image. The same or very similar image is already located on Commons as File:ENTAC (1961).jpg and is in use across multiple projects so it is unlikely that this copy would be used in the future."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ★ Bigr   Tex  22:16, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
