The Milhist election has started!
The Military history WikiProject coordinator election has started. You are cordially invited to help pick fourteen new coordinators from a pool of twenty candidates. This time round, the term has increased from six to twelve months so it is doubly important that you have your say! Please cast your vote here no later than 23:59 (UTC) on Tuesday, 28 September 2010.
With many thanks in advance for your participation from the coordinator team, Roger Davies 19:42, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
Category
Hi. You added back the category to Am. Rev. War on the basis that American Revolution was also in this cat. Are you aware that this category is a few days old and American Revolution was added today? . The same objections I raised on the talk page apply to that too. It is circular to argue that it's OK to include American Revolutionary War in this category because American Revolution is in it. (Why is it OK for American Revolution to be in this category?)

WikiProject Professional wrestling newsletter
A new newsletter has been released; Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Issue 078.
Delivered: 21:12, 26 September 2010 (UTC) by MiszaBot (talk)US, a product of the British Empire?
This featured article British Empire refers to the US as a "product" of the British Empire (British_empire#Legacy). I am not too comfortable with the word as the US is generally seen to be a product of a bloody war against the British Empire. Just wanted to check with you on your views about the small but important statement in a widely viewed article. Zuggernaut (talk) 15:46, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
Warning vandals
Please warn vandals after you revert vandalism, preferably using templates such as those included with Twinkle. For example, you reverted this vandalism but did not leave the IP a warning template. If you had done so, the following warning templates would have led to a block for this IP and prevented the 15 following vandalism edits to smog. Thanks Jebus989 15:59, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
WP:BLP concerns
I've removed both your recent addition to Stephen Barrett and your comment about him on Talk:Weston Price. The latter is a clear WP:BLP violation. The addition to the article wasn't as much a direct BLP problem as it was just an agreement not to include because of BLP concerns. --Ronz (talk) 22:20, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
- I found and noted the dates when the material was finally removed from the article. I added a link to Barrett v. Rosenthal to the article after looking everything over. --Ronz (talk) 23:25, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Professional wrestling newsletter
A new newsletter has been released; Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Issue 079.
Delivered: 07:38, 11 October 2010 (UTC) by MiszaBot (talk)Assessment fro Conservatism in the US article
I assessed the article as C per your request for assessment. There are still quite a few problems with it that I can see just by skimming through it. Here are some suggestions for further improvement:
- Try to add a few more images.
- Could stand to use a few more links
- Take the inline citations out of the lede and add them where they belong in the article.
- There are way way too many references. Try pruning out some of the less useful or unused ones.
- You might want to consider breaking out the list of Notables into its own list article.
- It needs some prose work. Some of the wording is a little too complex (too many big words).
- Several sections still lack inline citations.
I hope this helps. --Kumioko (talk) 16:48, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
Talk:Weston Price
I've removed your comment from Talk:Weston Price as it appears to make accusations of improper behavior, and use those accusations as rational for content changes. --Ronz (talk) 15:06, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
- Care to make an attempt to justify the comment, rather than harass me for hiding it? --Ronz (talk) 02:26, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for toning down your language.
- Please note that you've twice now removed my comments to the talk page, apparently by accident. --Ronz (talk) 02:45, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
- Can you please stop making comments like this? I'm hoping you made it before your reading my previous comments here. --Ronz (talk) 03:04, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. --Ronz (talk) 02:23, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
