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)

Surreal number
I'm not quite sure what your point is by removing the word 'another' from the sentence about Conway's definition in the introduction. It is a fact that there are several equivalent definitions, and Alling's definition in terms of transfinite Hahn series was published 12 years before Conway's book came out. Your phrasing makes it sound as if Conway was the first to define them, is that what you intend? Lhmathies (talk) 23:04, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Glad we could clear that up, feel free to remove this section when you've read it.Lhmathies (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:34, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

June 2017
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on The Great Wall (film). Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:10, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

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.

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.

Nepalese Army strength in Burma
See Talk:Burma_Campaign_1944–45. I came up with a figure of three battalions which definitely fought in Burma (out of eight). I may have underestimated by one or two units. HTH. HLGallon (talk) 05:36, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
 * OK, please offer the figure with source. If you have reliable source, put the detailed strength of Nepalese forces in Burma and give the detailed information which battles these Nepalese forces involved, I will not revert any of these. Miracle dream (talk)
 * Unfortunately, the figure I came up with is derived from one printed and one online source, and could be dismissed as WP:SYN. I looked it up merely to separate "Gurkhas" and "Nepalese". However, one battle in which Nepalese units (in this case the Shere Regiment) definitely took part is the Battle of Kohima, although as a raw unit their contribution was generally dismissed or merely mentioned offhand in most histories. HLGallon (talk) 11:28, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Nepalese Royal Army units were also engaged at the Battle of Sangshak, were two companies of the Royal Nepalese Army's Kali Bahadur Regiment consisting of some 200 men were engaged.[]. As HLGallon stated, it is well sourced that Nepalese Army troops were engaged in combat in the U Go offensive into India and the 1944-1945 Burma Offensive.XavierGreen (talk) 15:33, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
 * @XavierGreen. As I said before, put the detailed strength of Nepalese forces in infobox of article Burma Campaign. If you also edit the strength section of infobox with reliable source, I will not revert again.@XavierGreen Hence, please also edit the strength section of infobox. Miracle dream (talk)
 * There is no requirement that the exact troop strength be stated for them to be listed a belligerent in the campaign, the sources i've stated indicated that three battalions of troops participated in the campaign, they do not give an exact figure for the number of troops that participated in the campaign, although some of them indicate specific numbers of Royal Nepalese Army troops that were present at particular engagements like at the Battle of Sangshak.XavierGreen (talk) 04:10, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

Please don't use old sources for Chinese writing/inscriptions
I've found newer sources and fixed several related articles. We should also not use the news media as a source for archaeology, particularly a 12 year old source. THanks. Doug Weller talk 14:48, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Confucianism into Voltaire. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:34, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

April 2019
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Talk:Invasion of Normandy, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment, or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button OOUI JS signature icon LTR.png located above the edit window.

'' Note: It appears that while did try to add your signature at a later time, you did so manually and there were errors in both the link to your user talk page and the time. That has since been corrected. FYI'' - wolf  12:06, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Sock block
Based on your abusive edits with IPs and your past history of socking, I have blocked you indefinitely.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:38, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

@Yamla Hello Yamla, Thank you for your comments. I have one question and one statement. At first, I want to know whether I create a sock account. @YamlaThen, I don't say it was not a problem. What I mean is I think I can request a blocked reduced. I think blocked indefinitely was too much because at least I never made vandalism, disrupted discussions, distorted consensus or avoided sanctions. I never have conflict with others in discussion. I did not even invlve much discussion. Blocked indefinitely means I need to leave the wiki community and lost every chance for edition forever. Hence, I hope a blocked reduced. Thanks a lot.
 * Every single edit made with your sockpuppet account was, by definition, disruptive. You are still claiming your edits weren't disruptive, but they were. You will never be unblocked until you demonstrate you clearly understand this. --Yamla (talk) 13:04, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
 * @Yamla This is what I want to know. I just a little bit confuse which rule I violated and why I became sock account. This is what I confused and want to make clear. As you see, this account is my only wiki account and currently do not have another one.Can you give me some suggestions. Thank you and hope for your help.
 * @Yamla Hello, Yamla. Sorry to disturb you but I hope you can give me some suggestions to help me. At first, I want to know which rule I violated so that I can make clear all things. it seems i violated the sock account rule but i a little bit confuse that this account is my only account and i don't have any other accounts. can you tell me in what way i violated the sock account rule and more specifically which rule so that i can make clear all things and correct my behavior. thank you a lot.
 * We know this is a lie. We know you have the account, . And for this block, you are accused of editing while signed out, in an abusive manner. That's all I have to say; please don't ping me again. --Yamla (talk) 11:00, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
 * @Yamla Sorry to ping again. however,i still confuse and hope you answer some of my questions. i think i did not lie this time. I said i didn't have another account because LelouchEdward is an account 3 years ago and it's blocked that time. these 3 years, i did not use any other accounts nor created one. i am confused whether it is wrong to claim i have only one account when i have only one account three years. before and after this block,i have only one account. it seems i was accused of sock for an account blocked three years. does that mean i can never claim i use only one accou≠≥nt when i have an account blocked. or if I have another account blocked couple years ago, I cannot say i have only one account anymore even though I have only one account from couple years to now. i think i am not accused of sock for an account blocked three years.
 * this is my first question above but it is not my most important question. the most important question is i want to know whether i can edit anything while signed out when i have account. does it mean when i create a wiki account, i will forbid to edit anything with ip. when i have account, i can not become ip user. can you offer a reference about this wiki rule so that i can easily read about this. thank you. sorry to disturb you but can you answer my question two more times include this time. if you answer my questions this time which have two questions, i will ping you last time to ask last question and after that i will never ping you again. thank you.(only two times to ask questions include this time.hope you can help me last two times to answer last three questions. thank you )
