== GA review for the [[Battle of Naktong Bulge]] ==
</div>

I wanted to let you know I passed the [[Battle of Naktong Bulge]] as GA. The only thing I could find that I think needs to be addressed is one disambiguous link that you can find in my review comments. Good job. --[[User:Kumioko|Kumioko]] ([[User talk:Kumioko|talk]]) 16:13, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Very nice article on the Battle of Naktong Bulge. I made all uses of "U.S." consistent. In a number of places you had "US". Also expanded all "NK" to "North Korean". As a webmaster I was taught early on that while these shortcuts might save space on paper (and therefore money), we've no shortage of electrons which cost us nothing. I wish I had the time to write such an article, but I write mostly shorter articles on individuals that sometimes make it to B-class. The Korean War is fascinating and, as a former USMC officer, I enjoy reading about U.S. Marine actions in that war. Ever read "The Coldest Night"? [[User:Trfasulo|Thomas R. Fasulo]] ([[User talk:Trfasulo|talk]]) 14:24, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

== 2 more GA's ==

I just promoted 2 more of your articles. The [[Battle of the Notch]] only had a disambiguous (DAB) link for [[24th Division]] and [[Battle of Chochiwon]] has on DAB link for [[Chonan]] but other than that all is well. I left my comments on both of the articles. Good job. --[[User:Kumioko|Kumioko]] ([[User talk:Kumioko|talk]]) 19:01, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

* I've been sick the past couple days. I could putter around a bit with AWB or other things that didn't require concentration, but couldn't... concentrate. I still have an earache at the moment, but will try to look at it now.
* The thing that concerns me is the example I posted earlier of statements that were not found in the sources. I'm hoping you didn't rush to write things without carefully researching them. &bull;&nbsp;[[User:Ling.Nut|Ling.Nut]] 03:46, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

|First off, on behalf of myself and my co-coordinator [[User:Wizardman|Wizardman]], I would like to thank you for the efforts that you have made so far in this [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GAN backlog elimination drives/April 2010‎|GAN backlog elimination drive]]. It has been nothing short of a success, and that is thanks to you. See this [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2010-04-19/News and notes#Good article nominations backlog elimination drive successful|Signpost article]] about what this drive has achieved so far.

We're currently heading into the final week of the drive. At this time, if you have any GANs on review or on hold, you should be finishing off those reviews. Right now, we have more GANs on review or on hold than we do unreviewed. If you're going to start a GA review, please do so now so you can complete it by the end of the month and so that the nominator has a full 7-day window to address any concerns.

See you at the finish!

Lee Kwon Mu has a Chinese name called Li Quanwu (李权武), born in 1914 - since his brith place is unknown, it is disputed on whether he is a Korean or a Chinese of Korean descent. He joined the Chinese Communist guerrillas at the age of 17 after the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. In 1936, he was sent to Moscow to study by the Chinese Communist, and returned to [[Yan'an]] in 1939, which was then the headquarters of the Chinese Communist [[Eighth Route Army]]. He served as a staff officer in the 718th Regiment of the Chinese 358 Brigade, [[120th Division (People's Republic of China)|120th Division]] stationed in Central China, and a large number of Korean Communist were also recuited at Central China after the Japanese destroyed the Communist forces in Manchuria. He later served as an intelligence officer for the Chinese Korean Volunteer Army after the Korean Independence Alliance was formed by the Korean memebers of the Chinese Communist Party. Lee appears to have a rather rocky relationship with Korean Independence Alliance and did not serve any important positions within the organization despite his qualification. Anyway, as the Chinese story goes, soon after the Japanese surrenderred, he quickly returned to Korea because he believed he has no room for advancement in China, and rest of his story is with the KPA.

On behalf of my co-coordinator [[User:Wizardman|Wizardman]], I'd like to especially thank you for your efforts over this past month's [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Good articles/GAN backlog elimination drives/April 2010|GAN backlog elimination drive]]. It has been nothing short of a complete success, which hopefully results in more expedient good article reviews, increasing users' confidence in the good article nomination processes. Even if you made just a small contribution, it still helped contribute to the success of this drive. Here is what we have accomplished this last month in this drive.


Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of [[Battle of Osan|this article]] know that it will be appearing as [[Wikipedia:Today's featured article|the main page featured article]] on July 5, 2011. You can view the TFA blurb at [[Wikipedia:Today's featured article/July 5, 2011]]. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article directors {{user|Raul654}} or his delegate {{user|Dabomb87}}, or at [[Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests]]. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of [[Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions|the suggested formatting]]. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the [[Main Page]] so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks!

*661 total nominations were reviewed. 541 of them passed (~81.8%), 97 (~14.7%) failed, and 23 (~3.5%) ended on hold.
*The [[WP:GAN]] page started at [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Good_article_nominations&oldid=353252613 110,126 bytes length] on 1 April and ended at [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Good_article_nominations&oldid=359349697 43,387 bytes length] at the end of 30 April (a 66,739 byte reduction in the page, about 60.6% less).
*Excluding extremes, the longest wait for someone's GAN to be review was about [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Good_article_nominations/Report&oldid=353116658 11.5 weeks] at the beginning. (I mistook the figure when I reported to the ''[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2010-04-19/News and notes|Signpost]]'' that it was 13.) At the end, with the exception of one that was relisted, the longest wait is now at [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Good_article_nominations/Report&oldid=359015744 10 days].
*63 different users participated, each having completed at least one GAN, with others also having helped out behind-the-scenes in making the drive a success.
*The drive started with 463 GA nominations remaining and 388 unreviewed. At the end of the month, we ended with 89 remaining (374 or about 80.8% less) and 47 unreviewed (341 or about 87.9% less).

The '''[[Battle of Osan]]''' was the first engagement between [[United States]] and [[North Korea]]n forces during the [[Korean War]], on July 5, 1950. A U.S. [[task force]] of 400 [[infantry]] supported by an [[artillery battery]] was moved to [[Osan]], south of the South Korean capital [[Seoul]], and ordered to fight as a [[rearguard]] to delay advancing North Korean forces while additional U.S. forces arrived in-country to form a defensive line. The Task Force lacked both [[antitank gun]]s and effective infantry anti-tank weapons. Aside from a limited number of [[HEAT]] shells for the unit's [[M101 howitzer|105-mm]] [[howitzers]], crew-served weapons capable of defeating the T-34 had not been distributed to [[U.S. Army]] forces in Korea at the time. In the first encounter, a North Korean tank column overran the task force and continued its advance south. After the column had successfully breached American lines, the Task Force opened fire on a force of some 5,000 North Korean infantry approaching its position, temporarily holding up the North Korean advance. Eventually, North Korean troops [[Flanking maneuver|overwhelmed American positions]], and the remnants of the Task Force retreated in disorder. ('''[[Battle of Osan|more...]]''')

Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a [[WP:Pending changes|a two-month trial]] at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not [[wp:autoconfirmed|autoconfirmed]] to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious [[WP:VAND|vandalism]] or [[WP:BLP|BLP violations]], and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see [[Wikipedia:Reviewing process]]). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found [[WP:Pending changes|here]].

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. <!-- Template:Reviewer-notice --> [[User:Karanacs|Karanacs]] ([[User talk:Karanacs|talk]]) 17:29, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

You can view the TFA blurb at [[Wikipedia:Today's featured article/August 19, 2011]]. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article directors {{user|Raul654}} or his delegate {{user|Dabomb87}}, or at [[Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests]]. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of [[Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions|the suggested formatting]]. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the [[Main Page]] so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks!

The '''[[766th Independent Infantry Regiment (North Korea)|766th Independent Infantry Regiment]]''' was a [[light infantry]] [[regiment]] of the [[North Korean People's Army]] that existed briefly during the [[Korean War]]. Trained extensively in [[amphibious warfare]] and [[unconventional warfare]], the 766th Regiment was considered a [[special forces]] [[commando]] unit. Activated in 1949, the regiment trained for more than a year before the outbreak of the war on June 25, 1950. On that day, half of the regiment led North Korean forces against South Korean troops by land and sea, pushing them back after several days of fighting. Over the next six weeks the regiment advanced slowly down the [[Korean Peninsula]], acting as a forward unit of the North Korean army. Suffering lack of supplies and mounting casualties, the regiment was committed to the [[Battle of Pusan Perimeter]] as part of a push to force [[United Nations]] troops out of Korea. The regiment saw its final action at the [[Battle of P'ohang-dong]], fighting unsuccessfully to take the town from UN troops. ([[766th Independent Infantry Regiment (North Korea)|'''more...''']])

Hi, Ed! We may have a problem with some articles which you created. I am currently investigating a Wikipedia copyright infringement report concerning text from the [http://www.globalsecurity.org/index.html Globalsecurity.org website]. I noticed you were quite prolific a few years back -- creating numerous articles about US military units and linking them to the globalsecurity.org. For example, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=194th_Engineer_Brigade_%28United_States%29&diff=prev&oldid=257418714 194th Engineer Brigade (United States)] seems to be a direct copy from [http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/agency/army/194eng-bde.htm this page]. Did you copy the text from Globalsecurity.org into the Wikipedia articles? If that is the case, than we will need to template all those articles so that you and others can edit/remove/clean-up any infringing text. I may be missing something here, so I am hoping you can help clarify this first. <span style="font-family: tahoma;"> — [[User:CactusWriter|<span style="color:#008000">Cactus</span><span style="color:#CC5500">Writer </span>]]<sup>[[User talk:CactusWriter|(talk)]]</sup></span> 18:31, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

::Okay. I understand, Ed!.

I'll check into that further). But because of the [http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/pages/index.php?name=Ed!&namespace=0&redirects=noredirects&getall=1 large list of articles created], I think it is best to create a [[WP:CCI]] workpage so they can be covered methodically.

I'm happy to say the list of copyvios committed is actually much smaller than the total number of articles created, as I was told of my error within a few months, and I later worked to push many of the articles to B or GA anyway. There were still a few I had decided to eventually get more info for. Here are the ones still containing copyvio:

#[[369th_Sustainment_Brigade_(United_States)]] {{done}}

I should cautiton you that I've found many of the articles of this type (US Army Military Units) tend to attract overzealous US Army members who do not understand that copying stuff from the unit website is not OK. Eyeballing my articles created these are the ones I suspect to have copyvio content added by me and others. I am sure there are more articles in this general category that contain more copyvio material. Of all the hundreds of US Army unit articles, all but a half dozen or so have been promoted beyond start-class by me, while others have added large amounts of stuff directly from government websites. —[[User:Ed!|<font color="black">'''Ed!'''</font>]]<sup>[[User talk:Ed!|<font color="black">'''(talk)'''</font>]]</sup> 23:05, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

:Great. Thanks for this list, Ed. And, yes, there are many editors who believe copying the unit website is okay. Sometimes this is simply a belief that all DoD webpages are public domain. Unfortunately, that's not the case. By the way, I did recheck the [[15th Sustainment Brigade]], and confirmed the entire history section is still a copyright infringement of [http://www.hood.army.mil/15sus/history.htm the unit website]. Although the DoD hosts the webpage, they do include a [http://www.hood.army.mil/15sus/index/disclaimer.htm disclaimer] stating they are not responsible for the pages, and thus it is not part of their public domain material. And about all those other hundreds of US Army unit articles... I know, I know, I know. Ugh. I'm a bit loath to start checking into them. So, for the moment, let's see if we can get the list above corrected. It appears to be mostly the history sections which are copied and need to be removed. It'll be a big task to quickly revise the text on all the articles, so it would be a good idea to stub them now until they can be rebuilt. Are you okay with that? <span style="font-family: tahoma;"> — [[User:CactusWriter|<span style="color:#008000">Cactus</span><span style="color:#CC5500">Writer </span>]]<sup>[[User talk:CactusWriter|(talk)]]</sup></span> 23:47, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

::Ed!, I now think there is a better solution here. It appears the globalsecurity website often duplicates information from the military unit's official website. And those military website pages are public domain (with only a few exceptions). If you can find the same text on the the army.mil site, and the site uses their standard release ([http://www.eustis.army.mil/privacyandsecurity.mht '' Information presented on this site is considered public information and may be distributed or copied.'']), than you should be able to simply re-attribute the text to the army website and add the [[template:US Army]] to the bottom reference section. For example, I have done this with the [[7th_Sustainment_Brigade_(United_States)]] article. we should be able to save most of the text this way. <span style="font-family: tahoma;"> — [[User:CactusWriter|<span style="color:#008000">Cactus</span><span style="color:#CC5500">Writer </span>]]<sup>[[User talk:CactusWriter|(talk)]]</sup></span> 20:40, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

The best bet would be the book ''The Korean War: Volume I'' (ISBN 0803277946), although my copy still got stuck during shipping. The catch is that division level organizations in Korean (and Chinese) military only has the importance of regiments when compared to US military, therefore their commanders are not really notable figures unless they were attached to an American corps.

I'm sorry I didn't have time to get a support in before the article was archived at FAC. OTOH, prose wasn't much of an issue ... what we needed was more people showing up to review, and I'm not sure why that didn't happen, unless it was the fact that the A-class review was so long ago. In order to get some reviewers on board for your next round at FAC, one approach would be to run it through A-class again ... you could say that the technical reason is to review the A-class status. (I've recommended peer review a couple of times when A-class articles failed at FAC, but that hasn't worked well, we don't enough reviewers at peer review.) - Dank ([[User talk:Dank|push to talk]]) 06:05, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

:I changed my mind ... I don't think it would hurt in this case, but in general, we probably shouldn't encourage people to bring their own articles back through A-class a second time.

Give me a list of names and I'll see what I dig up in Chinese archives. Although I have to warn you that don't expect miracles, because Chinese normally ignore the North Korean actions during the Korean War. It would also help if you drop a note on the North Korea working group. [[User:Jim101|Jim101]] ([[User talk:Jim101|talk]]) 16:59, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
:Okay, getting photo from Chinese sources is tougher than I expected. The first way to get photo is to catch them during their Chinese Communist days, but those photo (if existed) are in the Beijing Archive in the "classified" pile. The second way to get photo is to catch them during photo ops during the war, but most of photo ops are between Peng Dehuai and Kim Il-sung. This is somewhat beyond my means for the moment. I would suggest contacting people who have access to Russian or South Korean photos. [[User:Jim101|Jim101]] ([[User talk:Jim101|talk]]) 17:53, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
::Additional notes...Chinese don't openly talk about the Korean Volunteer Army that served in China (where most of the North Korean generals spent their early life) because it implicates them for starting the Korean War, so most of the information I can find on the issue are either leaks or rumors. Only few selected scholars have access to such information, which are locked in the Beijing Archive. [[User:Jim101|Jim101]] ([[User talk:Jim101|talk]]) 18:00, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Ed, I was browsing the above article after reading the one about Sharick and noticed [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Osan&diff=prev&oldid=443214959 this edit], which seems to contradict the Shadrick article.

:It's an odd situation. I wanted to include in this article that Shadrick was wrongly ID'd as the first soldier killed in combat, and indeed the initial reports were that Shadrick had died as Osan, when in fact he died at a minor engagement slightly to the south at the same time. So, I was trying to reflect that at Battle of Osan. —[[User:Ed!|<span style="color:black;">'''Ed!'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Ed!|<span style="color:black;">'''(talk)'''</span>]]</sup> 18:08, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

==Disambiguation link notification==
I added the external link
http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36973&page=76
as this seems to be an important source 'straight from the horses mouth' so to speak.
This link is also hard to find, however seems to be important information.
I suspect because Jon Hollinshead's forum thread is on a controversial site, the link may have been removed?


Hi, this message is to let you know about [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation|disambiguation links]] you've recently created.

a: the careful placing of Ursula's handbag on the motorway

b: the twins clinging tightly to their bags at Keele services when trying to reenter the bus

c: Sabina Eriksson having 3 mobiles with her at Glenn Hollinshead's home (I'm assuming the mobiles were carried in Sabina's handbag).

This small piece of information, if added to Wikipedia, may assist in someone else adding further information on why this happened.

== [[Battle of Hwanggan]] ==

Hi mate, just verifying last month's contest entries -- this article's project banners seem to have been created with B-Class already there -- I realise it may be a cut-and-paste mistake but did someone independently verify the assessment? If so, they should put a note on the talk page to that effect (and ASAP so it can be scored for the contest)... Cheers, [[User:Ian Rose|Ian Rose]] ([[User talk:Ian Rose|talk]])
:N.B. Same for [[Battle of Yongdong]]... Cheers, [[User:Ian Rose|Ian Rose]] ([[User talk:Ian Rose|talk]]) 02:03, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
::Ah. No, I didn't have someone do that independently. I created both of those articles and expanded them so quickly I didn't think to add the talkheaders until they were both up for GAN. No one else has verified either of them to be B (I was under the impression I was to do that myself) but both are up to GAN and I'm sure anyone who looks at them will agree. Sorry if I did something incorrectly. —[[User:Ed!|<font color="black">'''Ed!'''</font>]]<sup>[[User talk:Ed!|<font color="black">'''(talk)'''</font>]]</sup> 02:13, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
:::Well, B-Class assessments should always be done by another party -- I think the most we can self-assess is Start-Class. If these had already passed at GA, wouldn't really be an issue. I'm not necessarily saying they're not B, but that's not for the main editor to say. I'm happy to check them and verify independently for its own sake but if we play strictly by the contest rules they probably aren't eligible for scoring in the November contest -- don't think this has come up before and definitely don't want to make a federal case about it but on the other hand they might be more valuable to you in next month's contest anyway... ;-) Cheers, [[User:Ian Rose|Ian Rose]] ([[User talk:Ian Rose|talk]]) 03:05, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

I saw you work with the Korean war and North Korea military articles. I have a question about it. Does North Korea have a foreign volunteer division or unit? [[User:Spongie555|Spongie555]] ([[User talk:Spongie555|talk]]) 00:02, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
:As far as I've seen, no. During the Korean War it may have allowed communist sympathizers to join its ranks but for the most part these were probably few and far between.

Hello. This message is to inform you that I have called for a reexamination of the scope document and the ratings system used by the project. The ratings system especially has run into problems and could benefit from a simplification and generalizations. The scope, too, could be reexamined to the same end. Please come to [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject East Asia]] and discuss the matters so that we can reach a community consensus. I'd like to have it done before Christmas, so I can spend the break making any necessary changes. The importance discussion is at the top of the page. The scope discussion is at the bottom, but we can move them together if we need to.

==Mark up error==
Works created by US government employees in their line of duties are considered to be in the public domain (without copyrights); the non-commercial clause would not be applicable in that case. [[:File:24th Infantry in Korea.jpg]] is verifiably by the US Signal Corps (so no problems with this one), but how sure is it for [[:File:US Retreat from Taejon.jpg]] to be taken by a US government employee (and not a photograph given to them by a South Korean, or collected from a news reporter)? It might be best to contact the Air and Space Museum or the office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs to ascertain the origin of the photograph or identity of the photographer. If the photographer is a US government employee and the photograph was taken in the course of his or her duty, the image is in the public domain, no matter what conditions or restrictions they laid.

As you have five or more DYK credits, you'll need to review another article at DYK before your nomination can be approved, per the QPQ rule: "''Review requirement – Reviewing another editor's nomination is part of the nomination process for self-nominations. This makes it more likely that all nominations are reviewed in a timely manner. You may add your nomination before you undertake a review, but before it is approved, please review another editor's nomination and indicate at your nomination which you have reviewed, and (if you know how to do this) provide a link to the diff for your review. New nominators (those with fewer than five DYK credits) are exempt from this review requirement, as is the nomination of another editor's article. For help in learning the reviewing process, see the reviewers' guide.''" Once you've done this, just reply at the [[Template:Did you know nominations/Dolphin D.

== Wikipedia Ambassador Program is looking for new Online Ambassadors ==

Hi Ed! I noticed your activity as a Good Article reviewer, and wanted to let you know about the [[Wikipedia:Ambassadors|Wikipedia Ambassador Program]], and specifically the role of [[WP:ONLINE|Online Ambassador]]. We're looking for friendly Wikipedians who are good at reviewing articles and giving feedback to serve as mentors for students who are assigned to write for Wikipedia in their classes.

If you're interested, I encourage you to take a look at the [[Wikipedia:Online Ambassadors/Guidelines|Online Ambassador guidelines]]; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors in the coming term. If that's something you want to do, please apply!

You can find instructions for applying at [[Wikipedia:Online_Ambassadors#Becoming_an_Online_Ambassador|WP:ONLINE]]. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones).

I hope to hear from you soon.--[[User:Sross (Public Policy)|Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation]] ([[User talk:Sross (Public Policy)|talk]]) 22:21, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

US National Archives collaboration[edit]

United States National Archives WikiProject
Would you like to help improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to the National Archives and its incredible collection? This summer, the National Archives—which houses some of America's most important historical documents—is hosting me as its Wikipedian in Residence, and I have created WP:NARA to launch these efforts.

There are all sorts of tasks available for any type of editor, whether you're a writer, organizer, gnome, coder, or image guru. The National Archives is making its resources available to Wikipedia, so help us forge this important relationship! Please sign up and introduce yourself. Dominic·t 15:22, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Heads up[edit]

Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests#July 5 Dabomb87 (talk) 15:44, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Main page appearance[edit]

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of this article know that it will be appearing as the main page featured article on July 5, 2011. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/July 5, 2011. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article directors Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks! Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 04:03, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Main page appearance (2)[edit]

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of this article know that it will be appearing as the main page featured article on August 19, 2011. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/August 19, 2011. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article directors Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks! Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 04:05, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article Action of 27 June 1950 you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail.

I'm sorry I didn't have time to get a support in before the article was archived at FAC. OTOH, prose wasn't much of an issue ... what we needed was more people showing up to review, and I'm not sure why that didn't happen, unless it was the fact that the A-class review was so long ago. In order to get some reviewers on board for your next round at FAC, one approach would be to run it through A-class again ... you could say that the technical reason is to review the A-class status. (I've recommended peer review a couple of times when A-class articles failed at FAC, but that hasn't worked well, we don't enough reviewers at peer review.) - Dank (push to talk) 06:05, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I changed my mind ... I don't think it would hurt in this case, but in general, we probably shouldn't encourage people to bring their own articles back through A-class a second time. So, either peer review or straight back to FAC (any time after the mandatory 2-week wait.) - Dank (push to talk) 02:35, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ed, I was browsing the above article after reading the one about Sharick and noticed this edit, which seems to contradict the Shadrick article. As it was added with a reference, I'm guessing it's not correct but seems to have slipped through the net. Nev1 (talk) 17:56, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's an odd situation. I wanted to include in this article that Shadrick was wrongly ID'd as the first soldier killed in combat, and indeed the initial reports were that Shadrick had died as Osan, when in fact he died at a minor engagement slightly to the south at the same time. So, I was trying to reflect that at Battle of Osan. —Ed!(talk) 18:08, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. Nev1 (talk) 18:14, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewing your work[edit]

Hi Ed!. This isn't meant to be hostile, but, I feel blocked in reviewing your work because of the Battle of the Bowling Alley FAC. Given that I haven't been reviewing much recently, I'm not "up to date." Could you reassure me? Fifelfoo (talk) 02:15, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what you mean. —Ed!(talk) 15:31, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
When Battle of the Bowling Alley went through FAC there was consternation and panic about the use of PD material as body text. I've checked this two or three times before mentioning it, as I remember my personal feeling of shock (having supported the FAC). Fifelfoo (talk) 22:12, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I see. Well, I stopped that practice after that FAC and I've been looking at how to rework that article (and a small number of others, admittedly) to remove the problem. —Ed!(talk) 03:58, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This is exactly what I hoped I'd hear, and makes me feel confident I can review your articles at MILHIST A and FAC! Fifelfoo (talk) 04:08, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats! I'd like to interest you in reviewing some GA from your area of interest (see WP:GAN) for the full list, so we can deal with our 2-3 months backlog :) --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 17:46, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your review! Actually, I was thinking of working on some more GA noms to add fodder for reviewers in the upcoming GAN backlog elimination drive. I'll be reviewing then, too. —Ed!(talk) 17:51, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As you have five or more DYK credits, you'll need to review another article at DYK before your nomination can be approved, per the QPQ rule: "Review requirement – Reviewing another editor's nomination is part of the nomination process for self-nominations. This makes it more likely that all nominations are reviewed in a timely manner. You may add your nomination before you undertake a review, but before it is approved, please review another editor's nomination and indicate at your nomination which you have reviewed, and (if you know how to do this) provide a link to the diff for your review. New nominators (those with fewer than five DYK credits) are exempt from this review requirement, as is the nomination of another editor's article. For help in learning the reviewing process, see the reviewers' guide." Once you've done this, just reply at the nomination page, stating what you have reviewed. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter. Harrias talk 01:00, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
