Military district (Germany)

Hello, thans a lot for posting on Reference desk/Archives/Humanities/2018 February 18! As you seem to have sound knowledge on the subject, would you mind improving the article in question accordingly (if you can arrange it at some point)? Best wishes--Boczi (talk) 20:46, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Sure, I'll take a look at it. I'm sort of busy right now so it may be awhile before I make any changes. LargelyRecyclable (talk) 04:01, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

• tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
• adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
• updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
• creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Landwerh, Fedorowicz, etc.

Re: Talk:Narva Offensive (15–28 February 1944)#Tieke, Landwerh, etc., is a Waffen-SS apologist who’s written for the Journal of Historical Review and a notoriously pro-Wehrmacht publisher really a hill you want to die on? A genuine question: are you not familiar with such authors / publishers?

Separately, if you could consider responding to my comments at Talk:Erich_Hoepner#Eastern_Front before reverting my edits across multiple pages, I would appreciate it. You also stated you’d address similar comments at Talk:Wilhelm_Ritter_von_Leeb#Leeb_and_Einsatzgruppe_A. --K.e.coffman (talk) 23:17, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

@K.e.coffman: I've reviewed Tieke and Landwerth. Tieke was a participant in the war and any material he has written as memoir is fine as long as it's properly attributed in context and not demonstrably false. I'd take a pass on anything else he's written. Landwerth seems to be wholly inappropriate, not necessarily because of any perceived bias, but because he's non-credentialed and, as far as I can tell, not cited as a reliable source by credentialed historians or other recognized subject matter experts. Yes, I'm familiar with J.J. Fedorowicz and the JHR, but the willingness of a publisher to put out what could be characterized as apologist literature is largely irrelevant to the reliability of a source. All that matters is the pedigree of the author. That said, I'm not familiar with any reliable sources who have published in JHR. LargelyRecyclable (talk) 18:11, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

If you "mostly agree", why did you revert my edit then? In any case, please see note below. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:18, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Additionally, the guide to arbitration and the Arbitration Committee's procedures may be of use.

Thanks,. --K.e.coffman (talk) 00:17, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Talk:War in History (book series)

Hi, you might be interested in this, subsequent to the recent article in of the Bugle - which is how I came upon this. Coming to your page, I also noted the ArbCom request. I had a look at things and find it quite disturbing. Regards, Cinderella157 (talk) 12:18, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Erich Hoepner and the current Arbcom case request

Hi. As you know the current Arbcom case request includes references to the article on Erich Hoepner, as an example of the alleged issue. I recently did a GA review on that article, in my capacity as a random member of Milhist. Am also in a position to vote on the case request in my capacity as a random member of Arbcom.

I haven't (yet) recused from the case because I don't see this piece of fairly minor content analysis as impinging on the likelihood of a fair hearing. But am keen to get your views either way, as a principal participant in the request as it stands. -- Euryalus (talk) 03:14, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

I haven't had the time to review the review, so to speak, or really do much other work of late. I have no issue with you participating in any capacity. Actually, your perspective would likely be valuable and I don't see any conflict or reason to recuse yourself. I appreciate you asking, though. LargelyRecyclable (talk) 03:30, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Rommel myth/1

Hi LargelyRecyclable. Just a note to advise I've closed a good article review you initiated, at Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Rommel myth/1. Regards, Fish+Karate 09:17, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

I was also affected

Someone also tried to log into my account. I reported it here. -O.R.^Comms 21:47, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

German war effort arbitration case opened

You were recently listed as a party to a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/German war effort. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/German war effort/Evidence. Please add your evidence by May 30, 2018, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/German war effort/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. For the Arbitration Committee, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 22:53, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

I have removed a comment of yours on the evidence talk page. Firstly, threaded discussion is not permitted on case talk pages. I realise you are not the only offender in this regard. Secondly, your comment appeared to be little more than an attack on another editor. You are expected to act with decorum on arbitration pages, and your comment there did not meet that standard. You are welcome to contribute to the case and to participate at the talk page, but please remain civil and focused on the case. GoldenRing (talk) 10:17, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Don't thank me, thanks

People have been blocked in the past for using the Wikipedia:Notifications/Thanks feature for harassing others with obviously insincere thanks. Don't "thank" me again or you'll be in trouble. Bishonen | talk 11:20, 21 May 2018 (UTC).

Okay, thanks. LargelyRecyclable (talk) 11:23, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
