Hi, and welcome. The edit you are refering to is in the template - in other words, it is a fixed variable used across many pages (it can be changed, but not without upseting a lot of people in the military history project if it is done without discussion). Changing templates will affect not just the 14th Armored Division page, but many, many others as well. However, I do see your point. I invite you to join the WikiProject Military history; we are always looking for new people with an interest in military history. Just add your name to the list of participants, and then you can bring this issue up for discussion on the project talk page.--Nobunaga24 00:07, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for your prompt reply. I did not join the group you mentioned (I am not much of a joiner.), but I did go to the page, and leave a request that a change be considered. The "LIBERATORS" thank you. 14thArmored 1810 Hours 2 November, 2006
- I've removed the entire separator bar that was the issue; there's no particular reason to have it, and trying to get custom terminology for it would be too big a mess, in my opinion. In any case, the (incorrect) terminology is now gone; is this sufficient? Kirill Lokshin 01:59, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Operation Frühlingserwachen was the last major German offensive of the war. It took place in March 1945 on the Eastern Front, and was carried out by the same troops that fought in the Battle of the Bulge. Please research things more before you revert everything.TheCheeseManCan 17:38, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

- Hey, no problem, we're all here trying to make Misplaced Pages as accurate as possible. I added to the Service of Supply article mainly to improve the J.H.C. Lee article. I still have some things to add to that article. Mfields1 03:01, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Manual of style - capitalisation
Welcome to Misplaced Pages. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Misplaced Pages has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did to T-34, makes it harder to read. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Regards, Mr Stephen 23:18, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Warning
Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. Grant | Talk 02:41, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Personal attack on Grant65
This edit is not acceptable under Misplaced Pages's no personal attacks policy. Please review the policy and make sure that you understand it. You should comment at all times on contributions, not contributors - calling someone a "dick head" because you do not agree with their contribution is not acceptable. —Krellis (Talk) 02:53, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at User talk:14thArmored, you will be blocked for vandalism. Bsroiaadn 03:05, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Misplaced Pages, as you did to User talk:14thArmored, you will be blocked from editing. Bsroiaadn 03:08, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Warnings
While you are free to delete warnings from your talk page (it is enough proof for us that you have acknowledged them), calling others "moron" is a personal attack. I notice another administrator blocked you for 24 hours for that. Hopefully you will have enough time to cool down. -- ReyBrujo 03:19, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Blocked
I'm sure you've been directed to the Misplaced Pages Manual of Style, specifically the section dealing with section titles, which requests that section headings only use a capital letter initially. Going against community consensus is not how to affect change--in fact, it's called disruption. You can bring it up on the talk page for the MoS, or at the Community Pump. Calling other editors names and engaging in edit warring aren't helping your case. -- Merope 03:21, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Actually, I blocked you for calling people morons and idiots, as well as deliberately making changes you know to be against consensus. Unblock requests like this one aren't really helping your case, and could lead to your block being extended. -- Merope 03:30, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
