The Military history WikiProject Newsletter : Issue XXXIII (November 2008)

The Military history WikiProject Newsletter: The Bugle Issue XXXIII (November 2008)
Project news The Lebanese military history task force has been created. The recent promotion of Tom Crean (explorer) brings the number of featured articles within the scope of the Military History Project to 300. Following a lengthy discussion, a new section - Personal libraries - has been added to the Logistics Department. The aim is to make sourcing and citation checking easier by sharing information about editors' personal book holdings. If you have half an hour to spare, why add a list of your Milhist reference books?	Articles of note New featured articles: Battle of Lipantitlán Battle of Khafji Richard Williams (RAAF officer) Tom Crean Third Battle of Kharkov SS Mauna Loa SS Montanan SS Ohioan (1914) USS Constitution New featured lists: List of Knight's Cross recipients of the Schnellboot service New A-Class articles: 13th Airborne Division (United States) Alaska class battlecruiser Edmund Herring Revolt of the Comuneros Rheinmetall 120 mm gun SS Black Osprey Stanley Goble Tanks in the Spanish Army
Current proposals and discussions Adoption of C-class remains firmly on the Milhist agenda with discussions approaching their fifth month of debate. More views are sought on this. What is a Pyrrhic victory? There's an interesting and lively discussion on this here. (And the short answer is: follow what the sources say.) Can you design logos? We're looking for a snappy new logo to go with the new title of the newsletter. See the ideas so far at the newsletter workshop.
Awards and honors The Contest department has completed its twentieth month of competition, which saw a record 78 entries. The top scorer this month is Bellhalla with 143 points, followed by Catalan with 42 points. Georgejdorner, Ian Rose, Abraham, B.S., the_ed17, Skinny87, Rosiestep, ERcheck, David Underdown and Gaia Octavia Agrippa also fielded entries.

$0th day /America held hostage

I was prowling to see if you had any new userboxes, and came across th US hostage on. Could you enlighten me, as I might want to add it to my user page ?Die4Dixie (talk) 03:26, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

It's to count how many days the USA has been held hostage, with the start date being January 20, 2009.--Gen. Bedford 11:09, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Held hostage...since the end of a legitimate Presidential election? Eh? Skinny87 (talk) 12:40, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Any election where someone mentally challenged like Obama gets elected can't be that legitimate.--Gen. Bedford 15:26, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Cmon man. I'm trying to not create any problems here, and I'm not gonna revert that last one - but you know you're walking that fine line here. I wash my hands of any industrial-grade dramafests that occur because of this... Tan | 39 17:22, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeesh, I didn't realize I'd get such a reaction - I just thought it was another 'Zomg Democrat' userbox. Maybe you should refactor that second comment as well, Bradford? Skinny87 (talk) 17:33, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
