Hi there. I noticed that your article Force Reconnaissance is a duplicate of the existing article U.S. Marine Corps Force Recon. Yours has a lot more info, but you'll want to merge the information from the two articles and make one of them into a redirect. Someone else might do it before you get a chance, but I thought I'd let you know. Lots of good info and some nice pictures there, by the way. Thanks. Isomorphic 04:05, 1 May 2004 (UTC)

Lo doodz, thanks for your work on Force Recon! :D Just have a few suggestions for ya:

Try to write the article for someone who doesn't know shit about military terms. In other words, write the article for the general public (for dummies).

Crop down the pics to thumbnails, it makes the article bigger in size and makes people with 56K modems cry like baby jesus.

The caption doesn't have to be so elaborate in the article, you can place the detailed caption in the picture homepage (inside the Image:blabla page).

I really didn't have a force insignia at the time so I picked up the Swift, Silent, Deadly motto for the article, but never stated that it was their insignia. ;)

Feel free to remove the credit on the bottom of the article, Wikipedia article do not have an owner and I wasn't the person that wrote the original piece hehe.

When you create article redirects or move pages, be sure to use the What links here function at the bottom of the article to check if there are any articles redirecting to article that are redirects.

Peace out,

MiG-35
Hi Tin - great article on this bird. Note that the page format you copied into it is an old one - you can find the current standard here for future reference. Cheers! --Rlandmann 02:29, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)


 * I've added the Cyrillic for PAK FA, as well as making a number of changes to make the article line up better with the standard format for WikiProject Aircraft. Please consider that this is only one of several hundred aircraft covered here, and that the ultimate goal of this project is to produce an encyclopedia, so a standard layout to the articles is generally considered a Good Thing. I've also moved the article to MiG/MAPO Project 1.44 and made the 1.44 designation the standard throughout - this aircraft may or may not be the MiG-35, but there's no question that it's the Project 1.44, and we should try to use the "firmer" title.


 * Again - thanks for all your work on this - it's becoming one of our most polished aircraft articles of recent times! (I'm considering putting it up as a candidate for a "feature article", but suspect that its specialist nature may work against it there... we'll see!) --Rlandmann 01:27, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Twin fins or V?
Please see my comment in Talk:MiG/MAPO_Project_1.44 --Paul Richter 17:00, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

This is a response to the message you sent, I haven't even had time to check up back here as of late. No problem, another guy I know at the Military Photos Forums (MilitaryPhotos.net) ended up editing what I put there as well. I started the SDM-R page too (if only in a link) and had planned to work more on this, but I've had no time as of late. The last thing I did was clean up some stuff on the Barrett M82A1 page. If your curious you can go to the following forum thread and read up on another project I started but has been shelved until I have more time to work on it again: http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=20464

Knight's Armament Company Universal Rail Extension
Knight's Armament Company Universal Rail Extension is wrong. URX stands for Upper Receiver Extension. Stamped on the upper parts of the URX systems is "RAS II URX Match Upper".Pettifogger 08:23, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

about the war
So you soldiers ,are you doing this because you were made to go,or are you doing it for the U.S.A? When will the war be over? Do you all ever wonder if you are going to die? Do you all ever drive tanks? What kind of guns do you all use? Where do you all use the bathroom and when? what do you all do in the war?

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:


 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Image copyright tags
Thanks for uploading Image:Final above.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use if you release it under the GFDL, or  if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thank you, Sango  123  23:07, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)

Image:Final_above.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Final_above.jpg. Its copyright status is unclear, so it may have to be deleted. Please leave a note on the image page about the source of the image. Thank you. --Kevin McManus 18:31, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

Image:R-77C.jpg
 — In case you aren't aware, there has been a significant change in policy. Images that do not have proper copyright information may be deleted within 7 days of uploading. I am bringing this to your attention, because you have uploaded an image, Image:R-77C.jpg, which does not have any copyright information. If you do not insert any copyright information within the next few days, this image may be deleted. If you have any questions on how to insert this information, please visit my talk page.

Unspecified source for Image:SPRCrane.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:SPRCrane.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then you need to specify who owns the copyright, please. If you got it from a website, then a link to the website where it was taken from with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:10, 16 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU ≈ talk 00:10, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Could u pleas add any sources?thx--Sanandros (talk) 19:03, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Here I found one of your fotos. Maybe you'll get any information.--Sanandros (talk) 19:04, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Mk12223.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Mk12223.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. --John Bot III (talk) 15:17, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
