<small>By [[user:Lionelt|Lionelt]]<br><br></small>
Welcome to the inaugural issue of ''The Right Stuff'', the newsletter of [[WP:RIGHT|WikiProject Conservatism]]. The Project has developed at a breakneck speed since it was created on February 12, 2011 with the edit summary, "Let's roll!" With over 50 members the need for a project newsletter is enormous. With over 3000 articles to watch, an active talk page and numerous critical discussions spread over various noticeboards, it has become increasingly difficult to manage the information overload. The goal of ''The Right Stuff'' is to help you keep up with the changing landscape.

''The Right Stuff'' is a newsletter consisting of original reporting. Writers will use a [[byline]] to "sign" their contributions. Just as with ''[[WP:Wikipedia Signpost/About|The Signpost]]'', "guidelines such as '[[WP:OWN|no ownership of articles]]', and particularly '[[WP:OR|no original research]]', will not necessarily apply."

WikiProject Conservatism has a bright future ahead: this newsletter will allow us tell the story. All that's left to say is: "Let's roll!"

<div style="font-family:Georgia, Palatino, Palatino Linotype, Times, Times New Roman, serif;">
<small>By [[user:Lionelt|Lionelt]]<br><br></small>
A new style guide to help standardize editing was rolled out. It focuses on concepts, people and organizations from a conservatism perspective. The guide features detailed article layouts for several types of articles. You can help improve it [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Conservatism/Style guide|here]]. The Project's Article Collaboration currently has two nominations, but they don't appear to be generating much interest. You can get involved with the Collaboration [[WP:RIGHT/C|here]].

I am pleased to report that we have two new members: [[user:Rjensen|Rjensen]] and [[user:Soonersfan168|Soonersfan168]]. Rjensen is a professional historian and has access to [[JSTOR]]. Soonersfan168 says he is a "young conservative who desires to improve Wikipedia!" Unfortunately we will be seeing less of [[user:Geofferybard|Geofferybard]], as he has announced his semi-retirement. We wish him well. Be sure to stop by their talk pages and drop off some [[WP:Wikilove|Wikilove]].

On August 3rd [[Peter Oborne]], a British journalist, became the Project's 3,000th tagged article. It is a tribute to the membership that we have come this far this quickly. The latest Featured Article is [[Richard Nixon]]. Our congratulations to [[user:Wehwalt|Wehwalt]] for a job well done. The article with the most page views was [[Rick Perry]] with 887,389 views, not surprising considering he announced he was running for president on August 11th. Follwing Perry were [[Michele Bachmann]] and [[Tea Party movement]]. The Project was ranked 75th based on total edits, which is up from 105th in July. The article with the most edits was [[Republican Party (United States) presidential primaries, 2012]] with 374 edits. An RFC regarding candidate inclusion criteria generated much interest on the talk page.

[[File:US-O12 insignia.svg|right|75px]]
''The Right Stuff'' caught up with [[user:Dank|Dank]], the recently elected Lead Coordinator of [[WP:MILHIST|WikiProject Military History]]. MILHIST is considered by many to be one of the most successful projects in the English Wikipedia.

'''Q: Tell us a little about yourself.'''<br>
'''A''': I'm Dan, a Wikipedian since 2007, from North Carolina. I started out with an interest in history, robotics, style guidelines, and copyediting. These days, I'm the lead coordinator for the Military History Project and a reviewer of Featured Article Candidates. I've been an administrator and maintained [[WP:Update]], a summary of policy changes, since 2008.

'''Q: What is your experience with WikiProjects?'''<br>
'''A''': I guess I'm most familiar with [[WP:MILHIST]] and [[WP:SHIPS]], and I'm trying to get up to speed at [[WP:AVIATION]]. I've probably talked with members of most of the wikiprojects at one time or another.

'''Q: What makes a WikiProject successful?'''<br>
'''A''': A lot of occasional contributors who think of the project as fun rather than work, a fair number of people willing to write or review articles, a small core of like-minded people who are dedicated to building and maintaining the project, and access to at least a few people who are familiar with reviewing standards and with Wikipedia policies and guidelines.

'''Q: Do you have any tips for increasing membership?'''<br>
'''A''': Aim for a consistent, helpful and professional image. Let people know what the project is doing and what they could be doing, but don't push.

If you've got a core group interested in building a wikiproject, it helps if they do more listening than talking at first ... find out what people are trying to do, and offer them help with whatever it is. Some wikiprojects build membership by helping people get articles through the review processes.

By [[user:Lionelt|Lionelt]]<br><br>
The arbitration request submitted by [[user:Steven Zhang|Steven Zhang]] moved into its second month. The case, which evaluates user conduct, arose from contentious discussions regarding the naming of the [[Pro-life]] and [[Pro-choice]] articles, and a related issue pertaining to the inclusion of "death" in the lede of [[Abortion]]. A number of members are involved. On the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Abortion/Evidence|Evidence]] page [[user:ArtifexMayhem|ArtifexMahem]] posted a table indicating that [[user:DMSBel|DMSBel]] made the most edits to the Abortion article. DMSBel has announced their semi-retirement. Fact finding regarding individual editor behavior has begun in earnest on the[[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Abortion/Workshop|Workshop]] page.
<p>
Last month it was [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_76#Dispute_resolution_noticeboard_-_Stage_2|decided]] that due to the success of the new [[WP:DRN|Dispute Resolution Noticeboard]] the [[WP:CNB|Content Noticeboard]] would be shut down. [[WP:WQA|Wikiquette Assistance]] will remain active. The DRN is primarily intended to resolve content disputes.

Was your article deleted in spite of your best efforts to save it? You should consider having a copy [[WP:REFUND|restored]] to the [[WP:RIGHT/I|Incubator]] where project members can help improve it. Upon meeting content criteria, articles are graduated to mainspace. The Incubator is also ideal for collaborating on new article drafts. [[wp:WikiProject Conservatism/Incubator/Star Parker|Star Parker]] is the first addition to the incubator. The article was deleted per WP:POLITICIAN.

WikiProject Conservatism is expanding. We now have a [[commons:commons:WikiProject Conservatism|satellite on Commons]]. Any help in categorizing images or in getting the fledgling project off the ground is appreciated.<p>
We have a few new members who joined the project in September. Please give a hearty welcome to [[user:Conservative Philosopher|Conservative Philosopher]], [[user:Screwball23|Screwball23]] and [[user:Regushee|Regushee]] by showing them some [[WP:Wikilove|Wikilove]]. Screwball23 has been on WikiPedia for five years and has made major improvements to [[Linda McMahon]]. Regushee is not one for idle chit chat: an amazing 93% of their edits are in article space.

On October 7, WikiProject Conservatism was [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Conservatism|nominated for deletion]] by member [[user:Binksternet|Binksternet]]. He based his rationale on what he described as an undefinable scope, stating that the project is "at its root undesirable". Of the 40 participants in the discussion, some agreed that the scope was problematic; however, they felt it did not justify deletion of the project. A number of participants suggested moving the project to "WikiProject American conservatism". The overwhelming sentiment was expressed by [[user:Guerillero|Guerillero]] who wrote: "A project is a group of people. This particular group does great work in their topic area[,] why prevent them from doing this[?]" In the end there was negligible opposition to the project and the result of the discussion was "Keep". The proceedings of the deletion discussion were picked up by ''[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2011-10-17/News and notes|The Signpost]]'', calling the unfolding drama "the first MfD of its kind". ''The Signpost'' observed that attempting to delete an active project was unprecedented. The story itself became a source of controversy which played out at the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2011-10-17/News and notes#Wikiproject Conservatism MfD|Discuss This Story]] section, and also at the {{Plainlink|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AJorgenev&action=historysubmit&diff=456469755&oldid=456159509|name=author's talk page}}.

Two days after the project was nominated, the [[P:RIGHT|Conservatism Portal]] was also [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Conservatism|nominated for deletion]] as "too US-biased". There was no support for deletion amongst the 10 participants, with one suggestion to rename the portal.
[[File:BurkeReflections.jpg|right|50px]]
In other news, a [[s:Portal:Conservatism|new portal]] focusing on conservatism has been created at WikiSource. Wikisource is an online library of free content publications with 254,051 accessible texts. One highlight of the portal's content is ''[[s:Reflections on the Revolution in France|Reflections on the Revolution in France]]'' by [[Edmund Burke]].

October saw a 6.4% increase in new members, bringing the total membership to 58. Seven of the eight new members joined after October 12; the deletion discussions may have played a role in the membership spike. [[User:Mwhite148|Mwhite148]] is a member of the [[Conservative Party (UK)|UK Conservative Party]]. Stating that he is not a conservative, [[user:Kleinzach|Kleinzach]] noted his "lifetime interest in British, European and international politics." Let's all make an effort to welcome the new members with an outpouring of [[wp:Wikilove|Wikilove]].

Timeline of conservatism, a Top-importance list, was [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Timeline of conservatism|nominated for deletion]] on October 3. The nominator stated that since conservatism in an "ambiguous concept", the timeline suffers from original research. There were a number of "Delete", as well as "Keep" votes. The closing administrator reasoned that consensus dictated that the list be renamed. The current title is [[Timeline of modern American conservatism]].

On January 21, [[The Conservatism Portal]] was promoted to [[WP:Featured Portal|Featured Portal (FP)]] due largely to the contributions of Lionelt. This is the first Featured content produced by WikiProject Conservatism. The road to Featured class was rocky. An earlier nomination for FP failed, and in October the portal was "Kept" after being nominated for deletion.

Member [[user:Eisfbnore|Eisfbnore]] significantly contributed to the successful [[WP:Good Article|Good Article]] nomination of Norwegian journalist and newspaper editor [[Nils Vogt (journalist)|Nils Vogt]] in December. Eisfbnore also created the article. In January another Project article was promoted to [[WP:Featured Article|Featured Article]]. [[Luís Alves de Lima e Silva, Duke of Caxias]], a president of Brazil, attained Featured class with significant effort by [[user:Lecen|Lecen]]. The [[WP:RIGHT/I|Article Incubator]] saw its first graduation in November.

Another [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Conservatism#Scope (Part II): Endorsements|discussion]] addressing the project scope began in December. Nine alternatives were presented in the contentious, sometimes heated discussion. Support was divided between keeping the exitsing scope, or adopting a scope with more specificity. Some opponents of the specific scope were concerned that it was too limiting and would adversely affect project size. About twenty editors participated in the discussion.

Inclusion of the article [[Ku Klux Klan]] (KKK) was [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Conservatism/Archive 5#Ku Klux Klan|debated]]. Supporters for inclusion cited sources describing the KKK as "conservative." The article was excluded with more than 10 editors participating.

[[File:Rick Santorum by Gage Skidmore.jpg|80px|left]]

Articles about the GOP presidential candidate and staunch traditional marriage supporter have seen an explosion of discussion. On January 8 an RFC was opened [[Talk:Campaign for "santorum" neologism#RfC|(here)]] to determine if Dan Savage's website link should be included in [[Campaign for "santorum" neologism]]. The next day the [[Rick Santorum]] article itself was the subject of an RFC [[talk:Rick Santorum#BLP and inclusion/exclusion of the neologism|(here)]] to determine if including the Savage neologism was a violation of the [[WP:BLP|BLP policy]]. Soon after a third was opened [[Talk:Santorum controversy regarding homosexuality#Proposed merger of Campaign for "santorum" neologism into Santorum controversy regarding homosexuality|(here)]] at [[Santorum controversy regarding homosexuality]]. This RFC proposes merging the [[Campaign for "santorum" neologism|neologism article]] into the [[Santorum controversy regarding homosexuality|controversy article]].

The Abortion case [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Abortion/Proposed decision|closed]] in November after 15 weeks of contentious arbitration. The remedies include semi-protection of all abortion articles (numbering 1,500), sanctions for some editors including members of this Project, and a provision for a discussion to determine the names of what are colloquially known as the [[pro-life]] and [[pro-choice]] articles. The Committee endorsed the "1 revert rule" for abortion articles.

== Nomination of [[You didn't build that]] for deletion ==

<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">[[File:Ambox warning orange.svg|48px|alt=|link=]]</div>A discussion is taking place as to whether the article '''[[You didn't build that]]''' is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to [[Wikipedia:List of policies and guidelines|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]] or whether it should be [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deleted]].

The article will be discussed at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/You didn't build that ]] until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.<!-- Template:afd-notice -->

== COI Guideline ==

I responded to your comment both because I wanted to provide another perspective, but also because I quite enjoyed your comment about intelligent and civil discourse from opposing viewpoints. [[User:Corporate Minion|Corporate]] 08:42, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

:BTW - I like your edit-notice. Do you know anyone else that has a good civility-based edit notice for their Talk page? As a disclosed COI, sometimes I only come into the picture after a company has made someone (usually justifiably) very angry.

[[WP:DTTR]] [[User:Soxwon|Soxwon]] ([[User talk:Soxwon|talk]]) 19:25, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
:Thanks for the reply. Addition of content not [[WP:VER|verified]] is subject to removal per [[WP:BURDEN]], as I initially stated in the edit summary that I initially used. Please do not introduce [[WP:OR]] into the article.--[[User:RightCowLeftCoast|RightCowLeftCoast]] ([[User talk:RightCowLeftCoast#top|talk]]) 19:29, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
::Hardly worth citing, it's common knowledge, not [[WP:OR]]. We don't cite that the sky is blue and we don't need a citation for the fact that Republicans generally favor defense spending, social conservatism, and pro-business policies (just look at the platform for Pete's sake). [[User:Soxwon|Soxwon]] ([[User talk:Soxwon|talk]]) 19:33, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
:::Some of the content that was added appeared to be biased OR, and since no reference was provided, was subject to removal. If the reference which is provided is the party platform, then please add it. Please do not allow [[Factions in the Republican Party (United States)|the article]] to devolve into an [[WP:ATTACKPAGE]].--[[User:RightCowLeftCoast|RightCowLeftCoast]] ([[User talk:RightCowLeftCoast#top|talk]]) 19:39, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
::::I'm well aware of the policy and perhaps corporate welfare was not appropriate. However, I would maintain that any discussion of the Republican Party's policies of "limited government" would be wise to include their main fiscal and social policies in the subject, i.e. their pronounced social conservative policies and their views towards defense spending. Both of these would seem contrary to the idea of limited government. [[User:Soxwon|Soxwon]] ([[User talk:Soxwon|talk]]) 23:40, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
:::::That is an opinion, and one that is not verified. There is a constitutional arguement for defense spending, and that is my opinion. However, our opinions have no place in the article space, what can be verified by reliable sources does. The article needs significant work to verify the content, and what content cannot be verified should be removed. Furthermore, due to the controversial nature of the subject perhaps what is there should also be [[WP:ATTRIBUTE|attributed]].--[[User:RightCowLeftCoast|RightCowLeftCoast]] ([[User talk:RightCowLeftCoast#top|talk]]) 17:56, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

{{The Third Opinion Award}}
Unfortunately it really is not settled.
[[User:JGVR|JGVR]] ([[User talk:JGVR|talk]]) 03:36, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
:What happens when a 3O is given and is rejected by an Admin that insists on editing the page incorrectly??
[[Talk:Henry van Rensselaer (disambiguation)]]
[[User:JGVR|JGVR]] ([[User talk:JGVR|talk]]) 20:41, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
:The proper course of action, is that getting a [[WP:3O|third opinion]] is the first step in dispute resolution, and more importantly in attempting to reach a [[WP:CON|consensus]] so that an [[WP:EW|edit war]] is avoided in a [[WP:CIVIL|civil manner]]. The third opinion is suppose to begin such a consensus building process, and is often sufficient to moving past an in-pass where only two editors are involved in a discussion. If an opposing editor does not agree with the third opinion provided, an editor can bring the matter to [[WP:DR|dispute resolution]] or open an [[WP:RFC|request for comment]].
:I sincerely hope that this helps. Additionally, having not returned to the thread at this point I am [[WP:AGF|assuming good faith]] of the other editors (an administrator's actions). If it is an editors opinion that an administrator has acted in a manner inconsistent with their office (being an administrator) there is a review process for that.--[[User:RightCowLeftCoast|RightCowLeftCoast]] ([[User talk:RightCowLeftCoast#top|talk]]) 20:41, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

== Coast Guard articles ==

I saw your message about [[Talk:William Trump]] and did answer there. There are many more articles created by [[User:Geo Swan|Geo Swan]] about Coast Guard personnel and light house keepers (such as [[Henry Blake (lighthouse keeper)]]). To put it mildly, I'm on Geo Swan's shit list. I have a feeling if I do any more Proding, they might end up be blocked. Could you take a look at the articles? I recall on first glance that several people might be notable, so not all will be a redirect. [[User:Bgwhite|Bgwhite]] ([[User talk:Bgwhite|talk]]) 07:05, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
:If there is a concern about the subject's notability, then PRODing or placing an article up for AfD is the proper course of action. If there is an opinion that too many PRODs at one time may cause someone to be blocked, my advice is to ''slow down'', and see [[WP:TIND]]. The articles will be there after the older PRODs and AfDs are resolved. Given that most of the subject's of these articles are deceased, their change in notability will not likely change, and thus a couple weeks will not alter the outcome of the consensus build through an AfD. If the subject is notable, an AfD will only verify moreso that the notability is valid, so [[WP:AGF|assuming good faith]] of the nominator there should be "no harm, no foul". I hope this advise helps.--[[User:RightCowLeftCoast|RightCowLeftCoast]] ([[User talk:RightCowLeftCoast#top|talk]]) 07:12, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

== Rick L Evans ==

Hi, I am the one who posted the page for Rick L. Evans.

Here is a start for third party verification of his life before The Imperials. I have many other sources that I am tryingto access and deliver to upgrad this article to full compiance.

Rick L, Evans, as spokesmen for The Imperials, has listed information, in this radio interview, that is notable and is “third Party” verification about his notoriety before The Imperials. Quote -- “These days, the group is comprised of a rock solid line-up of founding member Armond Morales (bass), 29-year veteran Dave Will (baritone/lead), popular alumni Paul Smith (tenor/lead) and new member Rick Evans (tenor/lead), who has traveled extensively with Billy Graham, Harvest Crusades, Promise Keepers and more”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHEYqEXNeTk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POdtJkjWaX4

This is just one of many outlets that list his accomplishments before The Imperials. I am working to find the verifiable information and would like your input on what I need to bring to the table to keep this article from being deleted. I admit to being a bit new to this but want to comply with criteria to validate this person of notoriety, and accomplishment, in the Christian Community <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Lee Karnbach|Lee Karnbach]] ([[User talk:Lee Karnbach|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Lee Karnbach|contribs]]) 18:09, 23 January 2013 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[Distinguished Warfare Medal]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Valor]] ([[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Distinguished_Warfare_Medal|check to confirm]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Distinguished_Warfare_Medal|fix with Dab solver]]).

If I understand the DYK process correctly, the last icon on the page is what DYK bots and manual editors look at in order to determine whether or not to promote the article. I suspect you have reviewed and passed the [[Template:Did you know nominations/My Hands]]. Therefore, all it needs now is the code <code><nowiki>{{subst:DYKtickAGF}}</nowiki></code> (which generates a [[File:Pictogram voting keep.svg|15px]]) placed at the beginning of a line near the end of the review or at least after the [[File:Symbol question.svg|16px]] placed on the 15&nbsp;February. It is normal to add a comment after the icon such as "Good to go" followed by your signature. Then the article will be passed for DYK.

== Notice of Dispute resolution discussion ==

[[File:Peacedove.svg|70px|left]]
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard]] regarding a content dispute in which you may have been involved. Content disputes can hold up article development, therefore we are requesting your participation to help find a resolution. The thread is "[[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard#Talk:United States, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject United States/Defining the United States of America|Talk:United States, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject United States/Defining the United States of America]]".

{{collapse top|bg=#cae1ff|bg2=#f0f8ff|Guide for participants}}

If you wish to open a DR/N filing, click the '''''"Request dispute resolution"''''' button below this guide or go to [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/request]] for an easy to follow, step by step request form.

{{center|'''What this noticeboard is:'''}}

* It is an early step to resolve content disputes after [[Help:Using talk pages|talk page]] discussions have stalled. If it's something we can't help you with, or is too complex to resolve here, our volunteers will point you in the right direction.

{{center|'''What this noticeboard is not:'''}}

* It is not a place to deal with the behavior of other editors. We deal with disputes about '''article content''', not disputes about '''user conduct'''.
* It is not a place to discuss disputes that are [[WP:FORUMSHOP|already under discussion]] at other [[WP:DR|dispute resolution forums]].
* It is not a substitute for the talk pages: the dispute must have been [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|discussed extensively on a talk page]] (not just through edit summaries) before resorting to DRN.
* It is not a court with judges or arbitrators that issue binding decisions: we focus on resolving disputes through consensus, compromise, and explanation of policy.

{{center|'''Things to remember:'''}}

* Discussions should be [[Wikipedia:Civility|civil]], calm, [[WP:TLDR|concise]], [[WP:NPOV|neutral]], and objective. Comment only about the article's ''content'', not [[WP:FOC|the other editors]]. Participants who go off-topic or become uncivil may be asked to leave the discussion.
* Let the other editors know about the discussion by posting {{tls|drn-notice}} on their user talk page.
* Sign and date your posts with [[Wikipedia:How to edit a page#Links and URLs|four tildes]] {{nowrap|"<code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>"}}.
* If you ever need any help, ask one of [[Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard/Volunteering#List of the DRN volunteers|our volunteers]], who will help you as best as they can. You may also wish to read through the FAQ page located [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/FAQ|here]] and on the DR/N talkpage.

==Ft Hood casualties==
Re:the most recent response by ROG: Can you explain to me, the difference between "32 counts of premeditated murder" and the number of casualties at an active shooter crime scene. ANY shooter massacre, not just Ft.Hood. I would ask at the article talk page but ROG would just say, "AGAIN?? I already told you why."....and call my question trivial. He is determined to have it his way. ```[[User: Buster7|'''<em style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;color:black">Buster Seven</em>''']]<small>[[User talk:Buster7|'''<em style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;color:black"> Talk</em>''']]</small> 20:09, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
:Earlier in the discussion, when I suggested 32 might be the correct answer of wounded, I was told that would be OR. What I know is what can be verified, reliable sources give numbers from 29 to 38, with many reliable sources at different times giving different numbers. The [[casualties]] technically be all wounded/injured/hospitalized/medically treated plus dead/killed. Therefore the number should be wounded plus dead/killed. I am willing to compromise with ROG in saying "more than X" were wounded (which is what the ''Austin Statesman'' has been doing in later published articles).
:If ROG is calling our contribution to the article trivial, that isn't really being [[WP:CIVIL|civil]], and is not [[WP:AGF|assuming good faith]] of fellow contributors.
:The RfC does not appear to be bringing in new editors to provide additional comments regarding this issue. Once RfC closes, if no [[WP:CON|consensus]] can be formed, [[WP:DRN]] might be the next course; however I hope a consensus that all can be amicable towards can be achieved.--[[User:RightCowLeftCoast|RightCowLeftCoast]] ([[User talk:RightCowLeftCoast#top|talk]]) 00:51, 12 March 2013 (UTC) --[[User:RightCowLeftCoast|RightCowLeftCoast]] ([[User talk:RightCowLeftCoast#top|talk]]) 00:51, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

:No past discussion, that I am aware of, said that there was a past consensus on what images to use in the history section, what sizes they should be, etc.--[[User:RightCowLeftCoast|RightCowLeftCoast]] ([[User talk:RightCowLeftCoast#top|talk]]) 19:25, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

::Fair enough. Well, now that it's been reverted I am sure you will be going to article talk to argue for the change you wanted. --[[User:John|John]] ([[User talk:John|talk]]) 20:17, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

== Query ==

Sorry to bother you again. I noticed you requested that another user [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AFort_Hood_shooting&diff=542328400&oldid=542326965 remain calm] a few days ago, but then tonight, you [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AFort_Hood_shooting&diff=543669481&oldid=543656580 personalised the discussion] ("Because ROG5728 says so?") Do you think these two posts are mutually compatible? I can see the other user getting wound up; is this your intention? --[[User:John|John]] ([[User talk:John|talk]]) 20:23, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
:No, perhaps I should have been more civil. My question was meant to ask why the reasoning behind the other editors logic.
:May I ask why my edits are being reviewed?--[[User:RightCowLeftCoast|RightCowLeftCoast]] ([[User talk:RightCowLeftCoast#top|talk]]) 23:40, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
::It's a fair question and it deserves an answer. I've seen you around before, and I noticed your interactions with ROG5728 at the Fort Hood Shootings page, where I've edited before and recently disagreed with your suggestion about the casualty figures. When I saw your edit at [[United States]] being reverted (it's also on my watchlist, one of 48,545!) I thought I would come over and give you a "word to the wise". As I've noticed you [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AUnited_States&diff=543680640&oldid=543636969 refer] to me as an admin, let me reassure you that I [[WP:INVOLVED|would not use my admin tools]] if I saw you doing anything that looked funny; on the other hand I do know (as I'm sure you also do) the routes down which someone being disruptive could go. I feel hopeful that you can use me as a barometer, if you can see our interaction as an opportunity rather than a threat. Quite apart from my admin bit, I've also made over a kazillion edits here and been around for geological amounts of time, by Wikipedia standards. I've almost never shied away from controversial articles, and maybe I can help you; looking at your contributions I can see you have a lot to add. I helped get [[Margaret Thatcher]] to [[WP:GA|good article]] status if that counts for anything in your world-view. Anyway, I'm not reviewing your edits any more than I do with any other editor I interact with. Take care, and let me know what I can do for you. --[[User:John|John]] ([[User talk:John|talk]]) 23:42, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

==Disambiguation link notification for March 14==

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[History of the United States Army Special Forces]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[National Geographic]] ([[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/History_of_the_United_States_Army_Special_Forces|check to confirm]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/History_of_the_United_States_Army_Special_Forces|fix with Dab solver]]). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small>
