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) 08:35, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Signature
Hello Pratyya Ghosh,

You have made a contribution to the Dutch Wiktionary by warning us of possible vandalism. It is important to keep Wiktionary accessible for all users for as long as we can think of. For this purpose we need to make all wikitext conformant with html5 as much as possible. This is a very modest change, because anything expressed in wikitext can also be expressed in html5. But some minor changes behind the scenes are necessary. One of these is replacing with. Working on this change at Dutch Wiktionary I came across your signature. In order to make it future-proof, you might want to change it into:  Pr at yya  (Hello!) which will show up as:
 *  Pr at yya  (Hello!)

Of course there are many alternative solutions, after all it remains your signature. So before making any changes myself, I would like to know how you feel about this. --MarcoSwart (talk) 17:20, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm intending to move to a simple signature. And I think I'm gonna change it very soon. SO no need to worry about IT. -- P G ho sh  (Hello!) 19:40, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your answer. I suppose you don't intend to change your signature on the pages where you have used it in past. In order to ensure the correct display of all Dutch Wiktionary pages in the future, I intend to make the change suggested above once on an archived Talk-page. If you would prefer that we change it to your new signature, please let me know. --MarcoSwart (talk) 14:47, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

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.

Request for edition in user page
Hi, Pratyya Ghosh! I'm fixing "lint errors" in Catalan Wikisource, and 3 of them relate to your user page. I have 3 suggestions: (1) replacing  with   and adding 3   at the end, (2) deleting s:ca:User:Pratyya_Ghosh so as to capture meta:User:Pratyya_Ghosh, or (3) adding new code or design. Have a nice year end and a better year beginning :) -Aleator (talk) 00:21, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
