Late Roman army

Hi, I'm the author of Late Roman army, which is currently under A-class review at Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Late Roman army (Wandalstouring acted as my advisor on Wiki standards). I'm consulting you because you contributed to the review on another of my articles, Battle of Strasbourg. I would invite you to add your comment to this review, as soon as possible, as the article is in danger of failing through insufficient commentators. Best wishes EraNavigator (talk) 00:15, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Can you urgently help Milhist please?

We've had a rather large bombshell dropped on us. The Wikipedia editorial team are aiming to release a version of Wikipedia on CD/DVD in time for the end of year holiday season. They've provided us with a list of 1333 Milhist articles they intend including.

The problem is that the quality of these articles varies considerably.

We've put together review page listing all the articles, in twenty-five article worklists. I'm hoping that 15-20 trusted editors can work through the list, weedying out problem articles and identifying suitable versions for release. The work is as far away from a tagging and assessing drive as you can imagine though, for convenience and ease of use, we've closely followed the traditional Milhist drive format.

This is, at the moment, an invitation-only review. The reason is that time is short and we can't afford too many mistakes. I'm only contacting experienced editors who performed very well indeed in the last two Milhist drives. I guess that working through a worklist of twenty-five articles will take between one and three hours to do. We're aiming to get the preliminary work done by next Sunday, so it's urgent too.

I do hope you can help but – if it's not too much trouble – if you are unable to participate at the moment, would you please let me know on my talk page? otherwise, please sign up here. Thank you for your time, --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 17:21, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to trouble you but would it be possible for you to wrap up your worklist today please? If you find yourself unable to do so, it's no problem but I'd appreciate it if you let me know you won't be able to complete on my talk page. Many thanks! --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 07:51, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Milhist W0.7: update

Thank you very much for your help in our review of the W0.7-nominated articles, which has proved to be a very worthwhile exercise. As the number of sub-standard articles found was much higher than anticipated, the coordinators are currently considering how best to follow this up, given the project's limited resources and the short time span – under three weeks - for making improvements.

The review has been a very worthwhile exercise and will lead to a major quality improvement initiative in the very near future. In the meantime, if you found any articles that you feel you could easily fix, I'd be very grateful if you invested a little time doing so. Please also feel free to nominate any articles for inclusion which you feel were overlooked. The procedure for this is here and the nominations should be made here. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 07:46, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
