Irak
It is a declaration from this Sunday made by the president of Romania, who says mostly "Romania won't withdraw it's troops from Irak". At the end of this summer, the ministry of Defense of Romania asked the withdrawn of the Romanian troops, however the decision was defavourable to the withdrawn. Anyway, after that there was some time when nothing new appeared, then President Basescu came with this declaration.--Danutz

War in Afghanistan 2001
Yes. The link you have provided lists the casualties in ALL theater of OEF (Philippines, etc.), not just OEF - Afghanistan, while my link clearly lists the casualties "In and Around Afghanistan". 190.10.0.111 14:37, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

 * War in Afghanistan (1979-1989)

Good afternoon, Mr. Publikus!

You are writing a member a member of the Russian Wikipedia - ВОИН2 (VOIN2). I see you are engaged in the topic of the Afghan war, including 1979-1989. I want to ask you if you have sources: Books or Articles in authoritative journals about the fortified areas of Afghan mujahideen. In particular, we are interested in the fortification of KOKARI-SHARSHARI Ismail Khan on the Afghan-Iranian border (1986).

We are also interested in material about the fortified area of LOR COH in Farah province in southwestern Afghanistan (1981, 1984). If you are interested in any materials from Russian open sources: Books or Articles of Soviet authors about the events of the War in Afghanistan (1979-1989), we are ready to transfer them to you.

Thank you. VOIN2 (ВОИН2) ВОИН2 (talk) 11:07, 14 June 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by ВОИН2 (talk • contribs) 11:03, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of 2010 in Pakistan
I have nominated 2010 in Pakistan, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/2010 in Pakistan. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message.  Dr.  Blofeld  21:58, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of 2010 in Pakistan
A tag has been placed on 2010 in Pakistan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Collaborative news on quippd
Hey, I noticed that you had recently edited the War in Afghanistan article, and I hoped that you could help out on another collaborative community edited project.

I run quippd, a collaboratively edited social news site, which mixes elements of Wikis, social networking, and social news sites. You can get some more information about what we are doing at: http://quippd.com/about/intro

Basically, we want to get good coverage on news stories, collaboratively edited, like Wikipedia. We are trying to take the ideas of WikiFactCheck -- to make news less biased and speedier (unlike something like Wikinews).

I hope you check us out -- and feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns.

Robert James Miller
Just wanted to say good job on the Robert James Miller article, thanks for creating it. — jwillbur 22:09, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Thank you--just saw some local media coverage about him and thought he deserved a decent article. Sounds like he was quite a guy. Too bad he didn't make it, but I guess he helped some buddies make it tho. Publicus 22:59, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Iraq part of WoT
I agree with you that the Iraq war is still ongoing but there is no need to remove the part of War on Terror from the campaignbox, history will remember it as part of WoT. But I don't get how can those guys claim the war is over when nobody said it's over? Obama said he is ending the war not that he has ended it. o.O Also, I saw that you were the one mostly updating the campaignbox so I hope it's alright that I added the numbers of dead Iraqi SF and insurgents based on the Wikileaks documents? That 55,000 number seemed odd to me.Diefgross (talk) 04:25, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Iraq war date again
Majority concencus has been reached that the war is over Xavier Green made the change based on this. However V7 again reverted him and I, in an attempt to find a compromise solution, reverted to Xavier Green's edit but added that Coalition combat operations concluded but Iraqi security forces operations continue. If V7 reverts again I feel there is no other way to go about this except report him for edit warring or take this to the arbiter with the evidence of the major concencus on the issue.Diefgross (talk) 22:48, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Try reporting him, or ask a user by the name of Kirill Lokshin for some help, he's very good at helping with the war-related articles. This war is over/not over discussion is pretty silly, don't really understand what to call it if it's not a war. Publicus 19:10, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

He cals it police work, anybody thinking police action that was called Vietnam and Korea? XDDiefgross (talk) 22:19, 2 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Howdy, Here's the thing as I have tried to explain to Diefgross (And I am still assuming good faith on his part)  Our standard here is Verifiability. I have actually posted links from Reliable_sources that have the state department stating that the war is over, the president and pentagon stating that combat operations have concluded, etc. While we may have a disagreement (that doesn't need to get unfriendly) there wouldn't be a anything i could do about it if you were to find something from the state department, pentagon or presidents office that supersedes that. V7-sport (talk) 22:56, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Totally agree V7Sport, which is why I've stopped our little edit war on the date. I'm honestly confused about what to call the current situation since conflict is ongoing and there's no facts to support anyone (Prez, Pentagon, SecState, Iraqis) saying the war is over while hundreds of people are still getting killed. That's why I would like to wait on the end date until enough time has gone by and it really is the end date--or this period is just a pause in the continuing war. Publicus 14:42, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Regardless of how it turns out, thanks for the healthy debate. Seriously, I appreciate your point of view. V7-sport (talk) 01:01, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

The Epic Barnstar
Have you ever gotten a barnstar for that work before? I would certainly hope so, because if not, this is ridiculously overdue. I was messing around with the article statistics tool and I was blown away by your stats at that page. Over a thousand edits to one article...I don't know the last time I saw that, if ever!! As I said, no one came remotely close to that. I've seen you around I guess...maybe I just remember you because you gave me a barnstar that one time... but I really had no idea you'd contributed that much. Wow. Anyway, suffice it to say you're the most deserving person I've ever awarded a barnstar to. Okay, I mostly give out userpage awards, but the point definitely still stands. Great work Publicus.  Swarm   X 14:43, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Hey thank you very much Swarm. No, I haven't gotten any barnstars for the Iraq War page. I really appreciate this--it was a lot of work, but I hope the article is in pretty good shape. Hope all is well. Cheers. <b style="color:green;">Publicus</b> 22:45, 1 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Then, again, this is ridiculously overdue. You're more than deserving of this, at the very least. On another note, could I ask for your opinion here, if you have some time? Thanks. Regards,  Swarm   X 01:42, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
Hi! I'm fascinated by your self appointed role to decree that images that other editors have deemed add value to the article are "not needed". (OK, I agree that I don't understand the purpose of the CIA image.) But otherwise, WHY have you (singular) decreed that the article does not "need" these images, when others (plural) have decided that they add value? Do you not think it might have been a good idea to seek consensus BEFORE making such god-like decrees? I have been highly tempted to simply revert your edits with the comment: "discuss it on the talk page and get concensus first". But have decided to see what possible justification you can provide for your behaviour. Pdfpdf (talk) 14:15, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment. I deleted those images for several reasons; they were not informative, unique, or representative of the war in general. Also, someone had put a tag on the article that it was too long and needed to be cleaned up, so this was the first steps towards that process. <b style="color:green;">Publicus</b> 20:49, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Juan Covington


The article Juan Covington has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "I don't see how this biography meets WP:CRIMINAL/GNG. Few mentions in media limited to WP:ONEVENT. No valid merge/redirect target. Mention on the List of serial killers in the United States seems sufficient. Not every serial killer is notable (particularly given his 3 victims, the minimum amount require to get classified as a sk)."

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 article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address 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 articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. <sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 12:27, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
