Battle of Bismarck
Hi mate, I came across the Battle of Bismarck article that you began. Thanks for your contributions so far. I just wanted to encourage you to keep working on the article. It is a good start and the Military History project will be improved by your continued contributions.

I have added a few things to the article, mainly admin stuff like categories, wikilinks etc, but have found a few citations too. The Military History project standard requirement is usually at least one in-line citation per paragraph (or per piece of information that could be challenged). If you follow this guideline it helps other uses verify the information provided.

I have also added the military conflict infobox template, although most of its fields are blank at the moment as I don't have any details on this engagement. For an example of the information that can go in it, please take a look at Battle of Al Rumaythah. If you are able to find similar information on this engagement and put it into the infobox fields where appropriate it will serve to illustrate the article.

Anyway, cheers for your contributions so far and keep up the good work. — AustralianRupert (talk) 00:10, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
