Speedy deletion nomination of The Honoring America’s Veterans and Caring for Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012

A tag has been placed on The Honoring America’s Veterans and Caring for Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. bonadea contributions talk 17:12, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Copyvio at Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

I had to revert your addition to the article even though it was pretty good in terms of information and presentation. The problem is that you directly copied text from the book Ruin from the air: the Enola Gay's atomic mission to Hiroshima, page 163. Other places may have some too-close paraphrasing, which is also a problem. This is not about the leaflet text which is 100% allowed because it was US Government generated and thus is public domain. Take a look at the sentence which starts, "In Hiroshima the bed-ridden and wheel-chair-bound were assembling booby traps..." See? Binksternet (talk) 20:42, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Then what do you exactly want me o put in the article? Exactly? Everytime i put it you just simply removed it. Give me some advice.XXzoonamiXX (talk) 00:55, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

The usual thing to do is to read the various sources and then write new words which summarize what the sources say. Copying and pasting is not allowed nor is changing one word here and there (called close paraphrasing.) Binksternet (talk) 01:09, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

Ok I spend a least a day how to put this together. Is this good for you?

"Hiroshima was a minor supply and logistics base for the Japanese military. The city was a communications center, a storage point, and an assembly area for troops. It was one of several Japanese cities left deliberately untouched by American bombing, allowing a pristine environment to measure the damage caused by the atomic bomb.

The city also had war industries which was involved in producing parts for Kamikaze aircraft, boats, bombs, shellcasing, rifles and handguns. Hata and his command staff planned on conducting a war of attrition and that every man, woman, and children in western Japan would carry a weapon. Children were shown to how to make and throw gasoline bombs which was enough bottles and fuel being conserved to make over three million. Even the illness were mobilized to assemble booby traps and plant them in the beaches of Kyushu. In addition, they were about 5,000 aircraft in the Kyushu ready to be used as kamikazes. Back in the Hiroshima Harbor, down by Ujina, hundreds of small craft were also be used as suicide attacks as each boat would be filled with explosives and then hide in the coves. If the invasion force came, the boats would come out of hiding and ram into landing craft to blow it up on impact.

Hata hoped that although it was impossible to defeat for Japan to defeat America so it made it impossible for America to defeat Japan. He hoped that the Americans would come to the negotiating table and dropped their demand that Japan would surrender unconditionally.XXzoonamiXX (talk) 04:26, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

There are some grammar problems with your suggestion above. Also, there is a little too much emphasis on the general area rather than the target area—the center of the city. I am busy for the next few days but I will work on this text soon. Binksternet (talk) 18:17, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

That's all i can think off but then, i wanted to get this added as part of the industrial value. That's why it's called teamwork for a reason. Furthermore, can i add LeMays leaflets with the actual text in the article? I want to make sure to the readers(and ones who's too lazy to check the links) that the U.S. did warn the Japanese citizens to leave before the nuclear bombs were deployed.

February 2013

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Binksternet (talk) 02:10, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Hague Conventions

Please see IV, Declaration concerning the Prohibition of the Discharge of Projectiles and Explosives from Balloons or by Other New Analogous Methods. Rmhermen (talk) 16:16, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

You should change the word "aerial bombing" from something else because that makes it seen like it also can apply to military aircraft as well. Would you mind change that wording to something else? XXzoonamiXX (talk) 18:54, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

It was intended to apply to military aircraft - that is what the balloons were and why they added the "Other New Analogous Methods" phrase. Actually it turns out that the U.S. was not a party to the chemical weapons part of the treaty - until 1975! Rmhermen (talk) 21:28, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Hmmm, Aircraft doesn't exist by the time the 1899 Hague Convention was written, the Wright Brothers invented the aircraft in 1903. After all, the 1899 Hague Convention regarding projectiles dropped from balloons did say that, The Contracting Powers agree to prohibit, for a term of five years, the launching of projectiles and explosives from balloons, or by other new methods of a similar nature. http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/dec99-01.asp After five years, aerial bombing virtually did not exist in the provisions when the second Hague Convention took place in 1907. That replaced the 1899 with the second one in 1907, meaning that aerial bombing was virtually non-existent. The CLOSEST regarding aerial bombing was the 1923 Hague Rules of Air Warfare but this wasn't accepted as a standard international law meaning it wasn't put in effect. XXzoonamiXX (talk) 00:19, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

The "by Other New Analogous Methods" was because they knew technology was changing quickly. However the U.S. signed an indefinite extension (Declaration Prohibiting the Discharge of Projectiles and Explosives from Balloons) after the five years were up - which would have been replaced by the 1915 Hague Conference. Since the "Third Peace Conference" never occurred maybe air war is still illegal between any two or more of the U.S., UK and China, the only signatories. Rmhermen (talk) 06:15, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Because, at the time the 1899 and the 1907 Hague Conventions were written, airplanes were not the primary delivery method of ordnance from the air, as they are today. Also, when the second Hague Convention was held in 1907, the world powers felt they didn't feel the need to renew the ban on bombing from the air by balloons after five years were up so the declaration of 1899 wasn't revived. So the only existing rules of war in the 1907 Hague Convention banned was the bombardment of undefended places by land or sea, not the air. That's why it said "Laws and Customs of War on Land" in both 1899 and 1907 version. To be a war crime, you need to have specifics. That's why the bombings of WW1 and WWII were not declared war crimes at that time and balloon bombing remained mute because the Hague Convention of 1907 never gave out specific definitions laid out for aerial warfare, not the declarations. If the Hague Convention of 1907 covered aerial bombardment, it would have said so OR there would have been a separate Convention on Aerial Warfare, not the declaration. The original definition of defended was made in the context of 1907 weapon declaration - which did not consider massed aerial bombardment. The "Declaration Prohibiting the Discharge of Projectiles and Explosives from Balloons" was a reference to TIME-FUSED AIR-BURSTING ARTILLERY MUNITIONS that came into their own in the conflicts of the American Civil War and the Siege of Paris in the 1870s. The declaration of 1907 was a PRO TEMPORE Declaration, and was never subsequently made a full Convention. And as it was only EVER ratified by the U.S. and the UK, it ONLY applied TO them until the growth of the international law of treaties AFTER THE SECOND WORLD WAR. ALL you did was prove that the LAND warfare element of airbursting artillery munitions on UNDEFENDED civilian TARGETS only. The USAF review once said that "if international law is not enforced, persistent violations can conceivably be adopted as customary practice, permitting conduct that was once prohibited." So by the SECOND World War, not even the Declaration (XIV) Prohibiting the Discharge of Projectiles and Explosives from Balloons applied to the U.S. any more, they had established a "custom and usage" within ten years completely contrary to the Declaration. So there's nothing that said specific anything in the 1907 Hague Convention on aerial bombardment by aircraft and balloon bombing argument remains very obsolete. That's why the ones in the article I'm trying to revise is very inaccurate and misleading. XXzoonamiXX (talk) 06:38, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 30

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Free Press and Transgression (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Joseph Morton (correspondent)

Hi. Thanks for the message on my talk page. There are two things here. 1) Categories - you can add the article to categories yourself, either by editing the article and typing them in. Or you can add a gadget called HotCat, which helps you do it. You can find this under your preferences. 2) Orphan - an orphan article is one which has no links from other articles. You need to find other articles that might mention Joseph Morton and add wikilinks to link to the Joseph Morton article. You need 2 or 3 articles to get rid of the orphan tag. Hope this helps? Gbawden (talk) 06:30, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Mass murder in Malaya

I have removed it from the examples on the state sponsored section of the mass murder article as it really isn't that important.

p.s. for traditional british mass murder, have a look at some of the stuff done against the population of new holland and those insignificant islands to the south east. or even better don't, it's unseemly to boast about this sort of thing ;) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.131.132.211 (talk) 23:08, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Mass murder is defined by the murder of four or more people so that massacre at Malaya applies. If you don't think it was because it wasn't state sponsored, then maybe the My Lai Massacre should be removed too. The massacre wasn't sanctioned by U.S. commanders whatsoever too.

No Gun Ri Massacre edits

Hello. I, for one, welcome your recent edits at the No Gun Ri Massacre article, which seem designed to improve accuracy and clarity, in contrast to another contributor's penchant for untruths and cover-up. But I'll quibble with two of your latest:

• Why remove the page reference rp|113 from the "Committee" footnote? It's standard practice, and there are page references on more than a half-dozen other "Committee" footnotes in the article.

• In my opinion, the inserted reference to the date of U.S. treaty obligations under Geneva is unnecessary, wordy (in an article already much too long) and potentially confusing to readers, who may ask whether the article is suggesting that the U.S. was duplicitous in saying it would abide by Geneva -- that the Army knew it wasn't legally obliged and so would go ahead and kill refugees. It's just not essential, even though accurate (unlike the dreadful stuff WeldNeck has dumped into the article).

Thanks. Charles J. Hanley 15:08, 27 February 2014 (UTC) Cjhanley (talk • contribs)

• • Honestly, I don't know. I felt that it was bothering to some readers and that's why I decided to remove it.

• • That was already there for years before I add about the Geneva Conventions not legally binding. I didn't add that in, I just add the latter because without it, it would give reader an impression that it was already legally binding on the US when the No Gun Ri Massacre occurred. I never said killing the refugees is ok, just pointing out the fact that the Geneva Conventions wasn't legally binding on the US when the massacre occurred. It's just the fact. XXzoonamiXX (talk) 17:26, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

OK, I'll restore the page number to the footnote. Thanks. Charles J. Hanley 19:54, 27 February 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cjhanley (talk • contribs)
