| Just some advice about that arbitration enforcement discussion: each of us is given a section, called "statement by so-and-so", and that is the only place we can say anything. To reply to someone else, begin your comment with "@whoever" but put it in your own space. Awkward, I know, but that's how they do it. --] (]) 16:27, 20 August 2013 (UTC) | |||

| ::I've been having trouble with that too - I displaced one of your posts and tried to get it back where I thought it belonged. I've never been in the Arbitration area before so far as I can remember. Confusing. Anyway, I hope we've got you straightened out about the different ways for deletion - yes, they can be confusing too if you haven't worked in them as long as I have. Do ask Melanie or me if there are things you're still not sure on. (She's not an admin, but I'm not the only one that thinks she ought to be...). ] (]) 16:45, 20 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::: A couple of items, just to continue the learning process here: 1) Posting walls of text at the Arbitration site is not advisable. See the instruction at the top of the page, ''Requests may not exceed 500 words and 20 diffs (not counting required information), except by permission of a reviewing administrator.'' That may apply only to the requesting party, but in any case, the wordier and more repetitious your posts are, the less likely it is that they will read and consider everything you say. See ]. Bottom line: time to stop posting; you have made your points. 2) There is no such thing as an "AfD admin". Administrators are administrators (also called sysops). They can do any of the administrative chores here, including deleting and restoring articles, protecting pages, banning or blocking users, and rendering decisions at a page like the arbitration area where you are currently engaged. Only administrators can participate in the "decision" area there; both admins and ordinary editors like me can post in the "statement by..." section. Of the people who are engaged in the current discussion, Peridon, Sandstein, Cailil and Seraphimblade are administrators. --] (]) 16:36, 21 August 2013 (UTC) | |||

You should've tried to reach an agreement before doing anything. Your changes removed reliably sourced content and, in my opinion, introduced bias. The paragraf you added read like anti-Irish nationalist propaganda. It was mostly about the UDR rather than the USC, it presented opinions as fact, and it didn't give an opposing view. ] 15:05, 21 August 2013 (UTC) | |||

| SoS I told you that you should avoid controversial subjects and just concentrate on army stuff which is what you have great knowledge on. Whilst the shoot-to-kill article is army related, it is also controversial and you went ahead and tried to get it speedy deleted which to be honest I don't understand. It is highly notable subject that deserves its own entry, or entry in a very related article. Just because it reads like a republican propaganda sheet doesn't qualify it for deletion - just heavy modification - through discussion and sources. | |||

An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Misplaced Pages. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki.

| == April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive == | |||
| G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the ] is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas: | |||
| * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope | |||
| * adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages | |||
| * updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages | |||
| * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles. | |||
| As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement. | |||
| The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of ], and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone. | |||
| The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up ]. | |||

Orphaned non-free image File:General Sir John Winthrop Hackett GCB, CBE, DSO & Bar, MC.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:General Sir John Winthrop Hackett GCB, CBE, DSO & Bar, MC.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 13:02, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

March Madness 2017
G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:
- tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
- updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
- creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.
For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

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) 08:36, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
User group for Military Historians
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 Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages Military Historians.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive
G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:
- tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
- adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
- updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
- creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

DS appeal
Hello SonofSetanta, I'm sorry I have to inform you that I have just declined your DS appeal, since that was the consensus of the admins who commented and it was extremely unlikely that, even keeping the thread open longer, such consensus might change. That said, my advice would be to keep on editing, because, as I said there, it's the only way we have to see if, going forward, you are likely to edit productively even in areas where you have strong feeling about the topic. Salvio 14:26, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
Your best chance of getting your topic ban repealed, would be to edit Misplaced Pages more often. GoodDay (talk) 19:03, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Files to be examined for possible copyvio
A tag has been placed on Category:Files to be examined for possible copyvio requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Liz 15:20, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
