Disambiguation link notification for January 30
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Balkan Campaign (World War II), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Macedonia. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Artur Phleps
Sir, you have removed WWI decorations and awards I had added to the Arthur Phleps page. I gave a proper source, the Austro-Hungarian equivalent of the London Gazette, in addition, most of those decorations are clearly visible and can be identified on the photo. Please inform me, why you still removed my additions. I think, his WWI service carries importance too. (Moved unsigned thread started by Africai to the bottom)
 * G'day Africai, the awards you added are not cited to a reliable third party source independent of the subject. As I understand it, you have looked at the photograph yourself, and worked out which awards are which, then added them. That isn't how we cite awards (or anything else) on WP, and certainly not on a Featured Article. In order to add these awards, we would need a reliable source for each one, not your personal interpretation/observations of a photograph (unless, of course, you are an acknowledged expert ion the field who has published works on the subject. I'm happy for you to list them in a thread on the talk page, but only when each one can be reliably sourced can they be added. Regards, Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 02:40, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Sir, I had given a proper third party source, the Offiziersschematismus der kuk bewaffneten Macht, edition 1918, a publication comparable to the London Gazette plus page number. The decorations are there. What else do you want? If you give me your eMail address, I will happily send a scan. (unsigned by Africai).
 * I was under the impression from your edits that you had viewed the photograph and identified the awards from that. If the source lists Phleps as having received those awards, then I apologise. Does it state when he received each one? Regards, Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 02:57, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Not that it really matters anymore, but I don't reject peoples suggestions and thank them! I start by thanking them for taking some time to leave some advice, and then, individually respond to each suggestion. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 00:21, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Jonas, we all have our own way of reviewing and responding to reviews. I consider some approaches to be more effective in attracting reviewers and constructive improvements to articles than other approaches, and I've learned that by watching the best reviewers and article writers Milhist has. Not everyone wants me to review their articles, and I'm just fine with that. Regards, Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 00:45, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Your interest in the Yugoslav wars
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask about your opinions and start a discussion, but since you claim to have an unbiased view on the Yugoslav wars subject, would you mind if I ask you a few questions about the Croatian War of Independence?Tmina32 (talk) 21:55, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Happy to discuss anything with anyone who registers an account. I don't conduct discussions with IPs. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 00:56, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I have an account, just forgot to log in. What do you think was the cause and goal of extreme nationalism meetings of Serbs in SR Croatia in 1989. and 1990? There are interesting movies/video compilations of authentic footage from the time, like "Komšije" and "Komšije 2" if you are interested in finding out more about that.Tmina32 (talk) 21:54, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

66th Division
Just to let you know I've now redone the Spring Offensive section as well, and gone over your remaining prose notes - I think I've caught all the ones that weren't removed during the rewrite. Spring Offensive is fairly heavily based on the 50th Division history (1938) but supplemented where possible from other sources - unfortunately these tend not to touch heavily on the 66th. I have a few books in the post which may flesh out a couple more details but I don't anticipate substantial future changes.

Thanks again for pushing on this one - the article's definitely much improved as a result. Andrew Gray (talk) 22:13, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

I apologize sincerely for not carrying out the review which I have now promised to do twice; too many interesting and decisive things have been happening around me these past couples of days.

Holocaust in Independent State of Croatia
Maybe I just don't see it, but even that pagehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust_in_the_Independent_State_of_Croatia says that more than 300.000 Serbs died, and 40.000 Jews. But I can't see separate page for the Serbs, or special mention of the Serbs at the beginning of the article, which sounds ridicilous. Count the zeros. My questions are, therefore: If the Holocaust in ISC can't mention Serbs at the beginning, largely ignoring a big antiserb side of the regime, legislation, executive etz, then where on wikipedia can I read about serbian victims of ISC in WWII? Just on Jasenovac page? Hm... Somehow, on the page above, all ethnicities are not created equall, and the administrator approves that. OK, maybe the Holocaust is really just the jewish thing, but somehow, even this page became a thing about how Serbs were the nationalists in 1989. Croatia. That is, those Serbs that survived ISC regime 1941-1945. I don't see a fair representation of it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bata Životinja (talk • contribs) 01:19, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * It needs work, but the page you are looking for is World War II persecution of Serbs. The Holocaust is about the Jews. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 09:46, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Having a big problem with calling it persecution, while Srebrenica is genocide. Serbs in WWII were primarily victims of ISC regime, which had racist laws against the Serbs, and concentration camps with methods such as srbosjek - knife called serbcutter. Neither of those happened in Srebrenica. But the label is Bosnian Genocide. There's actually a page with that name on wikipedia. While this one is Persecution of Serbs. Again, it's not right Bata Životinja — Preceding undated comment added 15:32, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * My understanding is that the article is called Srebrenica massacre, so not sure what you are on about there. Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 23:06, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Category reverts
Good morning, I noticed you had made three category reverts. Are you by any means able to expand these articles in order to show that 'Serbian Orthodox Christians' is a defining characteristic for these three people? Marcocapelle (talk) 05:52, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
 * G'day, the three reversions related to Draža Mihailović, Mihailo Ivanović may have been an overcorrection, but Milan Nedić is also mentioned in the DM link as well as here and here. There is a close relationship between Serbian nationalists such as Mihailović and Nedić and their policies, and the Church. I have reverted my action on Ivanović.

  cold, hard evidence

Thank you for quality articles for Operation Bora, with a focus on history and its people like Pavle Đurišić, offering "only cold, hard accumulated evidence gleaned from archives held the world over, and distilled into scholarly texts by academics" you "would kill to have a cup of coffee with", and for living your username, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Hey Peacemaker, are you interested in becoming an administrator? I'd like to give it another month or so of solid editing to allow for more time since your block, but from what I can see, that was an isolated circumstance; in all other areas, you've made massively positive contributions. If there's other times you lost your cool that I didn't catch, you should link me to them (I'm realistic and wouldn't nominate you if I don't think you won't succeed!).

How do I do refs the way you've done at Yugoslav order of battle prior to the invasion of Yugoslavia?
Hi Peacemaker67. I've just added a couple of details over at Yugoslav order of battle prior to the invasion of Yugoslavia, but I can't seem to understand how I use the ref style you've employed there. I noticed it after adding my first ref, and I of course do not want to break with the style you've used. Could you show me how it's done? I've got several more ship refs that I would like to add to the article. Manxruler (talk) 18:01, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
 * G'day Manxruler. I use the shortened footnote (or sfn) template, which means the citation itself has only the bare information to link to the reference section at the bottom. That way you can click on the citation, it takes you to the footnote section, then if you click on that it takes you to the source itself at the bottom. Theoretically, if you then click on the source, it will take you to the website in question. Alhtough in this case, a subscription is required, so I've just used the website root address. So I've created three "website" sources for the three separate webpages referred to, and a simple citation of etc. If you like, you could replace the urls with the urls of the actual pages. Cheers, Peacemaker67  (crack... thump) 00:24, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

WikiProject Research Invitation
Hello Peacemaker67,

We’d like to invite you to participate in a study that aims to explore how WikiProject members coordinate activities of distributed group members to complete project goals. We are specifically seeking to talk to people who have been active in at least one WikiProject in their time in Wikipedia. Compensation will be provided to each participant in the form of a $10 Amazon gift card.

The purpose of this study is to better understanding the coordination practices of Wikipedians active within WikiProjects, and to explore the potential for tool-mediated coordination to improve those practices. Interviews will be semi-structured, and should last between 45-60 minutes. If you decide to participate, we will schedule an appointment for the online chat session. During the appointment you will be asked some basic questions about your experience interacting in WikiProjects, how that process has worked for you in the past and what ideas you might have to improve the future.

You must be over 18 years old, speak English, and you must currently be or have been at one time an active member of a WikiProject. The interview can be conducted over an audio chatting channel such as Skype or Google Hangouts, or via an instant messaging client. If you have questions about the research or are interested in participating, please contact Michael Gilbert at (206) 354-3741 or by email at mdg@uw.edu.

We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of information sent by email.

Today's featured article/May 14, 2015
PM, I wanted to squeeze in "the armed wing of the Nazi Party that served alongside the German armed forces during World War II", and I made some minor edits. See what you think. - Dank (push to talk) 22:01, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks Dan, that got cut from some earlier TFAs, but I think it is worth including. I changed Yugoslavian to Yugoslav, but otherwise I am happy with the changes. I appreciate the (1st Albanian) is clunky, and probably isn't necessary for TFA. Regards, Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 22:52, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, that was actually the rule before I got there ... in the TFA instructions, it says "no ... alternate names". The idea is that alternate names are more useful when someone is trying to find the article they need than they are when someone just happens on the story on the Main Page, and is looking for a tight, short description of the article. Thx for the change to Yugoslav. - Dank (push to talk) 22:57, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
