== Formating issue ==
Its come to my attention that US army forts are located in articles that adressing such installations as "Fort X", where "X" is the name of the fort, and "Fort X, Y" where "X" is the fort and "Y" is the area that it is located in (Texas, Illinios, etc). For the sake of uniformity we should decide on one methode of presenting the names instead of using both methodes. IMHO, we should use the former and reserve the latter for cases where two forts happen to share the same name. For examples of what I am talking about, you can see ], ], ], and ]. ] 21:06, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
:] suggests that US city articles be formated as "City, States" and other well known cities be formated "City, Country"; however it should be noted that multiple locations in a country can share the same name, especially when the name is popular (this is one reason why so many city names share disambiguious links). Military installations do not generally share names since that would create confusion as to the base being referenced (I would venture an educated guess its also the reason why each service branch uses a different naming convetion, like AFB, Naval air satation, Fort, etc). Unless the names of military installations are shared on a multinational level (like having a George AFB in the US for George Washinton and a George AFB in Engalnd for King George) I do not see that there would be a problem in IDing a base simple by name and not by county, state, region, etc. Unfourtunatly, as I am preparing to leave the city for a few days I do not have the time to conduct a thurough investigation into the issue, so this at the moment is just observations. When I return I will look into it more thoruoghly and let you know what I turn up. ] 22:27, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Kirill, I have had some time recently to look into this matter further. I found three lists &mdash;]
== Nomination for merger of ] ==
], and ]&mdash; which hi-light the standard format of US army installations based on the format currently used by the US Department of Defense. It would appear the Army bases are usually named "Fort X", where x is the name of the fort, while Navy and Air Force guys seem to use the format "NS/NAS Y" or "Y AFB" where "Y" is the name of a certain citiy, or town, or other civilian location. I think that we ought to adopt this format for US military installations so that they can all conform to the names that they are refered to here. ] 01:18, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

== FA nominations in Version 0.5 ==

Hi, Kirill!
I have a question: I saw your nominations of FA articles in ]. And I was wondering: Most of these secions, such as ], ], ] and ] have no or veeeeeeeery few inline citations. And in some of them even the references are poor. Why are these articles remaining feautired??

I'm even more astonished, since we are now striving to have the articles well-referenced and full with inline citations. It does not look fair to me.

== American Civil War task force ==

Given how active you are in this area, I thought you might be interested in the newly-created American Civil War task force of the Military history WikiProject; someone of your considerable experience would be extremely welcome, I think. Kirill Lokshin 20:18, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

: Thanks, but I am not too interested in group administrative activities such as this. I will check out their project page from time to time, but I intend to spend my time writing articles. Considering the very low volume of ACW content editing (not including the blizzard of renaming categories, date formats, and generating random assessments on Talk pages), I really wonder why you bothered to create a separate task force in the first place. ] 20:47, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

==Rewriting a B-Class article==
Kirill. What's the policy on a total rewrite of a B-Class article ie:]? The article needs major work. Can I totally rewrite it, or I am I only permitted by Misplaced Pages policy, or wiki etiquette, just to edit/adapt what's already there? ] 22:25, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
: Thanks. Although it may take me a couple of months. ] 22:45, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

== Autotagging reloaded ==

Hi Kirill,

Since our article autotag thing is going nowhere, I was thinking about another thing in order to make it pass:

I would create a page "/Autotag" either in the WP:MILHIST tree or somewhere else, explaining what autotag is, why is it useful and so on. (just a few lines, mind you).

But most important, it will have a queue (wow, I drank too much, can't even write that word right... <_<) listing all the operations the bot will perform, such as:

* '''<nowiki>{{AFV}}</nowiki>''' - All articles having this infobox are military history and will be tagged - XXX total as of DD/MM/YYYY, YYY remaining
* '''<nowiki>{{AmericanCivilWar-stub}}</nowiki>''' - All articles having this infobox pertain to the history and will be tagged - XXX total as of DD/MM/YYYY, YYY remaining

Project members (and perhaps other people too) will be able to discuss the choice of stubs, propose some more, oppose some of them and so on.

The idea is to show we're completely transparent on the subject, that we're receptive and we discuss the potential impacts. Sure thing, it will be quite cumbersome (although I think I'll manage it), but it is better rather than having all this thing going nowhere. Cause I don't know if you have the idea of how much articles are untagged just because they don't have a talk page... well I do, and it is quite terrifying... <_<

What do you think?

Best,

Graf.

== {{tl|WPBiography}} ==

Hi Kirill. Do you have the above on your watchlist? (Rhetorical question :) since I'm really asking you to add it if you don't :)). Obviously, it's quite high profile now, and a specific user ({{userlinks|Ghetteaux}}) has twice added a rather useless ''fair use'' image to it. He's had a fairly stern warning this time. In the unlikely event that doesn't do the trick and I'm not here (off to bed shortly) would you take care of it please? Either a short block, protect the template until the morning, or both. I think he's well-meaning so it should be OK. Cheers. No reply needed. --] 22:15, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, I can't do it in one pass, so I need two: one to tag non-tagged articles and assess them, second to assess articles already tagged (unless they were already assessed by a way or another).

== Help with ref ==

I can't figure out why this is happening-- ] is using the ref tag and the first one has just the letters listed, and besides that, the first one is not linking anywhere?

== Question ==
Given that the scope of the military history project is so big (and that the project includes various subprojects), would it be possible to design a bot that could track which of the articles falling within the scope of the project (and any of its sub projects) that have been tagged with templates like cleanup, afd, FAC, FARC, etc, and list/categorize them so that editors within the project(s) can see at a glance what pages that fall into their particular group need help? I think this could help with things like deciding collaborations of the week, but the sheer size of the parent project is way too massive to permit a manual check of all articles. ] 03:45, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

== project banner template on Categories ==

Are we supposed to tag military related categories? --] 09:19, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

== Portal Indonesia ==

Umm, so, it has been 17 days since I nominated the ] on ]. I remember you said you want it to stay for 2 or 3 weeks on the nomination page.

==Admin advice==
Kirill, check out ] and the actions of ], see the edits, talk page and his own talk page. He obviously has a vendetta against BSA, but is using this article, which is an international one in scope and about the youth himself, not any organization to carry out his agenda. Also, there is a FA on the subject, ], for this subject. We get these guys from time to time, but he's by far been the most obstinate. Please advise on how to proceed.

Umm Kirill, I'm having some more trouble. At ], ],

" I would be wary of editing articles where a conflict of interests might be presented. On one hand, you're a Misplaced Pages editor and must maintain NPOV when editing. On the other, it is your job, or a family member's job, to promote this organization. I would steer clear of the article if you're unable to be neutral. Furthermore, it is incorrect for you to assume bad faith in the complaining editor. He may have been accused of sock puppetry in the past, but that is niether here nor there. Please remain on topic. Regards to both"

No apparent care for the personal information.

EnglishGarden has written things like,

"You are still not disclosing whether there is financial remuneration in this for yourself. A 19 year old male isn't going to work hard as the webmaster of a Misplaced Pages article on a women's political organization in the Washington area whom his mother is a fundraiser/volunteer for...without some kind of interest."

"Erald's mother is a fundraiser volunteer for the Tahirih Justice Center. He has written a blatant fundraiser advertisement. Please check the changes I made. Here is the proof that she is a fundraiser/volunteer Mrs. Kolasi"

Can you please drop a word in there when you have time? Thank you very much. I'm sorry if this is all too sudden. It was definitely weird for me. I came back from class and for two hours straight I've had to deal with this stuff.] 18:26, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, can you at least write another message to EnglishGarden telling him to stop using personal references and to stop being disruptive....or something to that effect. His focus on my mother precludes me from responding. As I told him, I would ignore any personal remarks from now on in the talk page. He is really flying off now, and he continues to make inflammatory and incorrect statements (claiming the person who I told you about was an administrator when in fact he wasn't) in his website. Thanks.] 18:58, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

EnglishGarden wrote this in reply to your message,

"Thanx Kirill. I have proven that this young man's mother is a fundraiser for the TJC. He has admitted as much on the complaint board. He has not disclosed that he is not receiving remuneration as the webmaster for this article. There is a family conflict of interest and another member has asked him to steer clear of this board as a result.

For removing POV, the words "exploit" and "marriage broker" and "mail order bride" either need to be removed or placed in quotations so it is very clear that the editors do not pass judgement on the online dating industry where there is a restraining order on the IMBRA law in question. See Restraining Order. This is the son of a fundraiser for Tahirih who is obviously the chosen webmaster. He should take a step back and ask himself what he is doing. This topic is clearly not in his personal interest otherwise."] 19:32, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
