* The criteria for Military history A-Class reviews have been overhauled. The new standard is deliberately set higher than before, and is much closer to [[WP:WIAFA|featured article quality]]. The new criteria are:
:*A1. The article is consistently referenced with [[WP:MILMOS#CITESTYLE|an appropriate citation style]], and all claims are [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiable]] against [[WP:MILMOS#SOURCE|reputable sources]], accurately represent the relevant body of published knowledge, and are supported with specific evidence and external citations [[WP:MILMOS#CITE|as appropriate]].
:*A2. The article is comprehensive, factually accurate, neutral and focused on the main topic; it neglects no major facts or details, presents views [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|fairly and without bias]], and does not go into unnecessary detail.
:*A3. The article has an appropriate structure of hierarchical headings, including a concise [[Wikipedia:Lead section|lead section]] that summarizes the topic and prepares the reader for the detail in the subsequent sections, and a substantial but not overwhelming table of contents.
:*A4. The article is written in concise and articulate English; its prose is clear, is in line with [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|style guidelines]], and does not require substantial copy-editing to be fully MoS-compliant.
:*A5. The article contains supporting visual materials, such as images or diagrams with succinct captions, and other media, where appropriate.
* The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Review/A-Class review instructions|timescale]] for A-Class articles has also been changed to give more editors an opportunity to participate.
* The six-monthly Coordinators' election has been moved back a month to avoid clashes with the holiday period. The sign-up period will run from 1–15 September and the elections themselves from 16–30 September.
* The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Military land vehicles task force|military land vehicles task force]] has been created.

== Discussion on [[Talk:Second Sino-Japanese War]] that may be of interest ==

Hi, Miborovsky. I know you're a frequent editor of the article, so I wanted to hear your input on the [[Talk:Second_Sino-Japanese_War#Result|discussion]] Paul Siebert and I have been having over the "result" section of the infobox. I'd like to achieve a wider consensus than just Paul and I. Regards, [[User:Parsecboy|Parsecboy]] ([[User talk:Parsecboy|talk]]) 22:55, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey Mib, long time no see, you been pretty busy lately? Looks like our wiki output has dropped quite a bit, yours even more so than mine! Just dropping by man. [[User:Blueshirts|Blueshirts]] ([[User talk:Blueshirts|talk]])

:Yeah man, been really busy too. It'd be cool to expand the site. But I think the priority should be here on wikipedia, because that's what the great majority of people would visit if they want to know about SSJW. But I have to agree that the new wiki would not attract that many vandals and detractors. [[User:Blueshirts|Blueshirts]] ([[User talk:Blueshirts|talk]]) 05:07, 2 October 2008 (UTC)


== Translating ==
hey i just joined and i want to work on translating all english articles in wikiproject china into chinese wikipedia. i tried using google translator but it sucks because i have to do one section at a time, because when you copy and paste a whole bunch of irrelevant garbage gets picked up, and i cant read chinese so i dont know how to make new articles at zh.wikipedia.[[User:黄帝|黄帝]] ([[User talk:黄帝|talk]]) 02:33, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

== Long time no see..... ==

Hi Miborovsky just dropping by to say hi. I see that you haven't been on wikipedia lately but if you ever get the chance to, another editor and I are having trouble with another editor who is insisted on engaging in an edit war to post up his Islam template in the [[Religion of China]] article, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Religion_in_China&action=history], this user has vandalized this same article in the past to insert his own POV (ie. that China has a Muslim of 100 million).
I have no idea why that guy is so obsessed with Chinese Islam, out of curiosity I've asked him several times what is his background with Chinese Islam (ie. Are you of Chinese Muslim background? Are you of Chinese background? Are you fluent in Mandarin? etc...), only to be ignored. From what I've gathered, I can only assumed the guy has little to no background in the Chinese language (I've made corrections to his pinyin in his articles in the past), from his most recent article Yeheidie'erding which I might add was created out of copying and pasting information out of the [[Islam during the Yuan Dynasty]] article that I posted in the past (in fact the title is a pinyin correction I made on his behalf).

* Following a lengthy discussion, three new coordinators – [[User:EyeSerene|EyeSerene]], [[User:Maralia|Maralia]] and [[User:the_ed17|the_ed17]] - have been coopted. The purpose of the appointments is partly to fill the place left by the retirement of [[User:TomStar81|TomStar81]] and partly to provide increased/improved coordinator capacity to cover existing coordinator absences and to help with upcoming major projects. As a reminder, coordinators are merely editors who have committed to go the extra mile for the project and that there are very few processes that require coordinator input. Specifically these are closing A-Class reviews, and endorsing two project award nominations. Any editors who wish to help with the nitty-gritty of this busy project (cross-posting A-Class review, peer review and featured article candidate alerts; responding to member questions and queries, helping with drives) are positively encouraged to do so.
* A [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Outreach/Newsletter/Workshop|'''workshop''']] has been set up to redesign and improve the newsletter. In our [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history/Archive 82#Our newsletter: a bit of fun!|recent competition]], a new name was chosen – ''The Bugle''. All editors are welcome to participate, especially those with graphic and design skills!

* The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Lebanese military history task force|Lebanese military history task force]] has been created.
* The recent promotion of [[Tom Crean (explorer)]] brings the number of [[WP:WIAFA|featured articles]] within the [[WP:MILHIST#SCOPE|scope]] of the Military History Project to [[WP:MIL#Featured articles|'''300''']].
* Following a [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#Unreliable web sources|lengthy discussion]], a new section - '''[[WP:MHL#LIBRARY|Personal libraries]]''' - has been added to the '''[[WP:MHL|Logistics Department]]'''. The aim is to make sourcing and citation checking easier by sharing information about editors' personal book holdings. If you have half an hour to spare, why add a list of your Milhist reference books?

== The Diary ==

Hi,sorry, but I've nominated your article [[The Diary (film)]] for deletion. I could find no sources suggesting that principle photography had begun, and the most recent news article on the film was from over a year ago stating only vaguely that Tong was still working on the film.

:This month has been interesting for MILHIST, as we reorganized a few departments. The Outreach Department has been replaced by the tabs at the top of our totally redesigned [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history|project page]]; thanks to [[User:Kirill Lokshin|Kirill]] for the design and [[User:Bellhalla|Bellhalla]] for the logo. We also created the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Academy|Academy]], a hub for practical advice about creating, editing, and reviewing quality content. All project members are cordially invited to fill in some of the red links, and new ideas are always welcome.

:As you can see on the right, our A-class and featured content is growing quite rapidly; these numbers have now gone up by 45 for the second straight month! Great work! In addition, thanks go out to those who recently helped in reducing the [[WP:MHR#A-CLASS|A-class nominations]] backlog. Reviewers are still needed; if you feel up to it, please stop by and leave comments on an article&mdash;every review helps!

:Lastly, the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Contest|contest]] results for the month: [[User:Bellhalla|Bellhalla]] took the cake again with 77 points and gets the Chevrons, while [[User:Ian Rose|Ian Rose]] gets the Writer's Barnstar for his 60 points.

The big news of course was the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Coordinators/March 2009|seventh project coordinator election]] covering the period ending 30 September. The quality of the candidates was extremely high, with some of the project's top content builders running alongside highly experienced backroom people. Of the eighteen candidates, sixteen were finally appointed, giving us probably the most rounded coordination team so far.

Those elected were: [[User:Abraham, B.S.|Abraham, B.S.]], [[User:Bellhalla|Bellhalla]], [[User:Climie.ca|Cam]], [[User:Eurocopter|Eurocopter]], [[User:EyeSerene|EyeSerene]], [[User:Ian Rose|Ian Rose]], [[User:Jackyd101|Jackyd101]], [[User:Joe N|Joe N]], [[User:Lordoliver|Lordoliver]], [[User:Maralia|Maralia]], [[User:MBK004|MBK004]], [[User:Nick-D|Nick-D]], [[User:Roger Davies|Roger Davies]] (lead), [[User:Skinny87|Skinny87]], [[User:The ed17|The ed17]] and [[User:TomStar81|TomStar81]]. [[User:Kirill Lokshin|Kirill Lokshin]] continues in his role as ''coordinator emeritus''. Thanks must go to the departing coordinators – [[User:Bedford|Bedford]], [[User:Catalan|JonCatalán]] and [[User:Woody|Woody]] – for helping make the project what it is today

The C-class referendum, held at the same time, produced a slight majority of votes for introduction, but was insufficient to demonstrate a clear consensus. So, for the time being at least, therefore, the project will continue without C-class. Otherwise, focus is likely be on the [[WP:MHAC|Academy]] and the development of courses to develop reviewing, copy-editing and article-building skills. Some review of our task forces is also probable, perhaps consolidating some of the smaller, quieter, ones. As ever, input from everyone is not only welcomed but positively encouraged.

The coordinators' gratitude goes not only to those who participated in the election and referenda but also to everyone who works quietly and conscientiously away to make participation in this project rewarding, successful and productive. Milhist is very fortunate in its membership!

Once again, this month, we have a bumper crop of featured and A-class content, and our heartfelt thanks go to editors who have worked so hard to write these. But with our growth in quality content comes increased demand for reviewers. Which is where you can help.

Reviewing is easy and rewarding. You don't need any prior experience and you don't need to write a full review. Any input is helpful so you initially can just comment on what you're comfortable with. Most reviewers start off by focusing one or two things – say, the historical context, or the text, or the references, or the layout, or the images – and as they gain experience, they broaden the scope of the review. You can easily keep up to date with which articles need review, by copying this text – {{tl|WPMILHIST Review alerts}} – to your userpage or talkpage. Thanks in anticipation, &nbsp;[[User:Roger Davies|<span style="color:maroon; font-variant:small-caps">'''Roger&nbsp;Davies'''</span>]]

* With end of year exams beckoning for many members, this has been a quiet month on the talk pages for Milhist. (If you are facing exams yourself, we all wish you the very best of luck!) During this quieter period, some of our most active reviewers are busy revising so it would be really appreciated if you can help with peer reviews or A-Class reviews.

; <big><font color=steelblue>Editorial: "How to use the Milhist template"</font></big>

Welcome to a new occasional feature of The Bugle, where over coming issues we'll be exploring some of the roles, tasks, and technical functions that go into creating what archivist and researcher [[Simon Fowler (author)|Simon Fowler]] has described as the best general resource for military history on the internet.<sup>†</sup> As a project we can rightly be proud of that accolade, and we gratefully acknowledge the debt we owe to those dedicated editors from across Wikipedia that have helped to make the Military history WikiProject what it is today.

Many editors' first inkling of milhist's existence is when they spot our project banner on an article talk page. The banner can be easily added to appropriate articles by any editor, by typing '''<nowiki>{{WPMILHIST}}</nowiki>''' at (or near) the top of the talk page on a new line, and saving the page with an appropriate [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]]. This short form of the template will add the article to our project, and also flag the article as needing assessment and assignment to a task force by automatically adding it to the [[:Category:Unassessed military history articles|unassessed articles]] and [[:Category:Military history articles with no associated task force|articles with no associated task force]] categories.

As with many templates in use on Wikipedia, additional parameters can be specified. Possibly the most useful to include is the class parameter, because this will help out any editors who come along later to assess the article. To add the class parameter, edit the template markup to look like '''<nowiki>{{WPMILHIST|class=}}</nowiki>'''... and if you wish, have a read through the assessment guidance on milhists's [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment#Quality scale|quality scale]] and assign a rating from Stub- to B-Class yourself. A banner template with, for example, a Stub-Class article rating will look like '''<nowiki>{{WPMILHIST|class=stub}}</nowiki>'''. Because B-Class is assessed against a checklist it has some additional parameters, so when adding the project banner to an article talk-page, even if you don't intend to assess the article yourself it can be a real help to subsequent editors to include these too. This version of the template can be entered as '''<nowiki>{{WPMILHIST|class=|B1=|B2=|B3=|B4=|B5=}}</nowiki>'''. For detailed guidance on exactly what the five B-Class criteria are, see the [[WP:MH/B|B-class checklist]].

Finally, when adding the milhist banner it's useful to assign the article to one (or more) of our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Task forces|task forces]]. This will help to bring it to the attention of those editors most likely to be interested in, and knowledgeable about, the subject. As with assessment, task force assignment is accomplished by adding a parameter to the template—in this case, simply the name of the task force followed by ''=yes'' (or ''=y''). For example, to assign a Start-Class article to the Second World War and Canadian task forces, the template should read '''<nowiki>{{WPMILHIST|class=start|B1=|B2=|B3=|B4=|B5=|WWII=yes|Canadian=yes}}</nowiki>'''.

For a full list of all the banner template parameters and more detailed usage instructions, see [[Template:WPMILHIST]]; if you are unsure as to whether or not an article belongs with milhist or what task force(s) might be appropriate, or if you have any other questions, you are welcome to ask at our [[WT:MIL|main project talk page]]. Happy templating! [[User:EyeSerene|<span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#4B0082">EyeSerene</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:EyeSerene|<span style="color:#6B8E23">talk</span>]]</sup>

; <big><font color=steelblue>Editorial: How to prepare an A-Class Review</font></big>
Perhaps the most important&mdash;and, indeed, most respected&mdash;aspect of the Military History project is our rigorous A-Class Review (ACR) system, which puts articles through the most robust review outside of [[WP:FAC]]. Although reviewing might seem daunting to newcomers, this article will give you an outline of three popular reviewing methods so you can actually start contributing yourself.
#'''General nit-pick''' - this is one of the easiest - and one of the most common - reviewing styles seen throughout Wikipedia. It is a similar approach to that you would see in proofreading and classroom marking. Basically, it is a general overview of the article, not getting too specific on aspects of the prose. The most common statements include ''This article could benefit from a light copyedit before going to FAC'' or ''You might want to check the endash and emdash placement in the article''. It's a style that is incredibly easy to manage, and one that requires little-to-no experience in previous reviewing.
#'''Specialization''' - it often is the case that those who have been reviewing articles for a long time will move away from the general review towards more specific areas of articles. As an example, [[User:tony1|Tony]] usually stays within the realm of prose and copyediting while reviewing Featured Article Candidates, [[User:TomStar81|Tom]] used to focus almost entirely on external links and disambiguations, while others specialize their focus exclusively on copyediting, reference formatting, dashes, punctuation and flow, image licensing, and a host of other areas. This is a review method that is not nearly as time-consuming as other methods, as it allows you to quickly scan an article, spot the things that you work on, and how they need to be fixed.
#'''Sectional''' - My preferred style of reviewing, this is one of the most informative styles. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most time-consuming and exhaustive styles. Essentially, it involves going through the entire article, section by section, and pointing out every major (and often many of the minor) flaws present within each section. Everything from prose to reference formatting to content. It is a reviewing style that is exhausting, and often takes two or three goes through the article to get everything (sometimes even more), but it gives the article's main contributors two benefits. First, everything is well organized, mostly under '''''section headers like this one''''', and it often makes finding individual sentences or refs much easier, as they are within that section. Secondly, it points out a lot of the problems from a lot of the areas.
Best of luck, and happy Reviewing! [[User:Climie.ca|Cam]] <sup>([[User Talk:Climie.ca|Chat]])</sup>

* People with an interest in clearly presenting battle information, and First World War buffs, will find the discussion about a [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#Proposed changes to Campaign Box for the Battle of the Somme|new campaign box for the Battle of the Somme]] interesting.
* With the recent increase in enthusiasm, Wikipedia-wide, for creating "outline" articles, there's an ongoing discussion [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#Outlines|here]]. The idea is to produce guidelines for overview articles for Milhist editors and reviewers.
* Proposals have been made to introduce a new self-scoring "honour" system for [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history/Coordinators#Contest Dept: proposed new scoring system|Contest Department entries]]. Contributions, especially from regular nominees, are welcome.

; <big><font color=steelblue>Editorial: Getting to FAC via A-Class - some interesting new facts</font></big>
[[Image:MILHIST FAC DATA.png|thumb]] Well, it’s official. Milhist articles have a much better than average chance of success as [[WP:WIAFA|featured article candidates]]. [[User:MBK004|MBK004]] has done some useful number-crunching following the fortunes of the 97 Milhist featured article candidates submitted between January and July this year. The research shows that 70% of Milhist articles were promoted against an overall average of 51%.

Looking behind the figures, some other interesting facts emerge. First, 84% of our promoted articles had successfully passed a Milhist [[WP:MHR#A-CLASS|A-Class Review]] before going on to FAC. Second, of the 29 Milhist articles that failed, less than half (41%) had had an A-Class Review. Third, the 97 Milhist articles accounted for 16% of all FACs submitted between January and July of this year.

The clear lesson is that if you want a string of featured articles to your credit, you may find Milhist's A-class Review process to be of benefit to you! &nbsp;[[User:Roger Davies|<span style="color:maroon; font-variant:small-caps">'''Roger&nbsp;Davies'''</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Roger Davies|'''talk''']]</sup>

Greetings to all members of the Military history WikiProject, and to those outside the project who receive this news letter as well! My name is TomStar81, and it with a great sense of pride that I assume the position of lead coordinator for the project. On behalf of all the coordinators, both new and returning, we wish to thank those of you who participated in the September elections, and we look forward to working to advance the goals of the project for the next six months.

With the elections concluded, there are two changes. First, [[User:Roger Davies|Roger Davies]] has been appointed a coordinator emeritus, joining our first coordinator emeritus [[User:Kirill Lokshin|Kirill Lokshin]]. Secondly, for the first time ever, the lead coordinator for the Military history WikiProject will be taking a lengthy wikibreak. For those who were unaware of this, I am an undergraduate student, and will be taking a leave of absence, effective end September, to focus on graduating in December. However, with fourteen coordinators, and two coordinators emeritus, I am confident the needs of the project will be well taken care of. For the VIII coordinator tranche, [[User:TomStar81|TomStar81]] ([[User talk:TomStar81|Talk]])

The first place Golden Wiki went to [[User:TomStar81|TomStar81]] for 13 entries; the Silver Wiki was awarded to [[User:YellowMonkey|YellowMonkey]] for 11 entries, and [[User:Patar knight|Patar knight]] was presented with the Bronze Wiki for 3 entries. All other entrants were awarded the WikiChevrons or a barnstar for their contributions. Thank you to everyone who fielded an entry! All editors are encouraged to check out the newly expanded [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Academy|Academy]].

*A discussion about the notability of military people has resulted in an update to our in-house [[WP:MILMOS|style guide]]. Prompted by some recent "[[WP:AFD|articles for deletion]]" discussions, members felt that we should provide clearer guidance on the types of person that are most likely to meet Wikipedia's [[WP:BIO|biographical notability criteria]]. The resulting advice, which you can see [[WP:MILMOS#NOTE|here]], should be very helpful in both future deletion discussions and in deciding where best to focus article-writing efforts.

*Our [[Wikipedia talk:MILHIST#Task Force housekeeping|Task Force housekeeping]] discussion is now coming to a close. In October a number of proposals were made for rationalising our extensive list of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Task forces|Task forces]]. Although a few areas remain to be decided, project members have approved the changes summarised [[Wikipedia talk:MILHIST#Next steps|here]]. These will be enacted shortly, so if you haven't yet had your say, now's the time!

Happy New Year to all! I shall take this opportunity to reflect upon the past year. In 2009 our project grew impressively, adding nearly 100 new featured articles and doubling the total number of featured lists. Overall the total number of articles within our scope surpassed 95,000 in 2009, and if these numbers hold steady we will surpass 100,000 articles in 2010. Thank you all for your outstanding efforts.<p>We are currently working on several proposals to improve the project for 2010. These include bringing the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Academy|Milhist Academy]] up to full operational status, as well as spicing up and streamlining the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Task forces|task force structure]]. Also, any help you can offer to clear the current backlog of [[Wikipedia:Good article nominations#War and military|Military History good article nominations]] would be appreciated.<p>For the Coordinators, [[User:TomStar81|TomStar81]] ([[User talk:TomStar81|Talk]]) 11:10, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

== German-Japanese relations ==

Hi there. I noticed that you've put a bit of effort in the article on [[German-Japanese relations]]. Over the past weeks I majorly expanded it and really need people to scan over my contributions. I want to set a high quality standard since I'd love to have it featured some day ;) Meanwhile, I'd really appreciate if you could participate in its nomination for a Good Article - [[Talk:German%E2%80%93Japanese_relations]] :-) --[[User:Gliese876|Gliese876]] ([[User talk:Gliese876|talk]]) 14:38, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

*It's only a month into the New Year, and we've already made changes to the project's infrastructure, merging and improving several task forces (see below). Much content within the project's scope has also been improved: eleven new featured articles, two featured lists, two featured pictures, a featured sound, and seventeen A-class articles. Thanks and congratulations to all editors who contributed and/or nominated these items.
*In other news, the elections for new [[WP:MHCOORD|project coordinators]] are coming up in March. Think about whether you would like to run or not, and self-nominations will be coming up at the beginning of next month.
*Lastly, our project's [[WP:MHR#A-CLASS|A-class review]] process is desperately in need of new reviewers. Please consider looking at least one and leaving comments, no matter how small or trivial. It will be greatly appreciated by the article's nominator(s).

[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left]]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to '''[[:File:Hao Mengling in Taihang Shan Shang.jpg]]'''. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to [[:File:Hao Mengling in Taihang Shan Shang.jpg|the file description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|fair use rationale]].

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/Miborovsky|my contributions]]" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

==Suspension of admin privileges due to inactivity==
{{ {{#ifeq:|{{void}}|void|Error:must be substituted}}|Inactive admin}}
[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=|link=]]
Following a [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/suspend sysop rights of inactive admins|community discussion]] in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard]] and the userright will be restored per the [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats#Resysopping|re-sysopping process]] (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts. <!-- Template:Inactive admin -->[[User:RL0919|RL0919]] ([[User talk:RL0919|talk]]) 22:07, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right.

== Main Page appearance ==

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of the article [[List of army groups of the National Revolutionary Army]] know that it will be appearing as [[Wikipedia:Today's featured list|the main page featured list]] on December 9, 2013. You can view the TFL blurb at [[Wikipedia:Today's featured list/December 9, 2013]]. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured list directors {{user|Giants2008}}, {{user|Crisco 1492}} or {{user|SchroCat}}, or at [[Wikipedia talk:Today's featured list]]. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of [[Wikipedia:Today's featured list/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. {{=)}} Thanks!

The '''[[List of army groups of the National Revolutionary Army|army groups of the National Revolutionary Army]]''' (''flag pictured'') were the largest conventional mobile formations in the organization of the army of the [[Republic of China]] during the [[Second Sino-Japanese War]]. The first [[army group]]s were established immediately after the [[Marco Polo Bridge Incident|Japanese attack]] at [[Lugou Bridge|Marco Polo Bridge]] on 7 July 1937, and new army groups continued to be formed throughout the war. During the war, the only military formations larger than the army group were the [[List of military regions of the National Revolutionary Army|military regions]], which were defined by geographical boundaries, and the army [[corps]], of which only four were formed and only during the [[Battle of Wuhan]]. In effect, the army group was the largest fighting unit of the [[National Revolutionary Army]], and usually exercised command over two or more [[List of field armies of the National Revolutionary Army|field armies]] or several corps, and assorted lesser units. By the end of the war with Japan, 40 army groups were in existence. The [[Chinese Civil War|civil war]] saw three additional army groups being formed, even as they were gradually being replaced by newly-formed army corps, by then a largely analogous formation.

== ''Gamaliel and others'' arbitration case opened ==

You recently offered a statement in 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/Gamaliel and others]]. The scope of this case is Gamaliel's recent actions (both administrative and otherwise), especially related to the Signpost April Fools Joke. The case will also examine the conduct of other editors who are directly involved in disputes with Gamaliel. The case is strictly intended to examine user conduct and alleged policy violations and will not examine broader topic areas. The clerks have been instructed to remove evidence which does not meet these requirements. The drafters will add additional parties as required during the case. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gamaliel and others/Evidence]].

'''Please add your evidence by May 2, 2016, which is when the evidence phase closes.''' You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gamaliel and others/Workshop]]. For a guide to the arbitration process, see [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration]]. ''This notification is being sent to those listed on [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gamaliel and others/Notification list|the case notification list]]. If you do not wish to recieve further notifications, you are welcome to opt-out on that page.''

== [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gamaliel and others]] closed ==

An arbitration case regarding ''Gamaliel and others'' has now closed and the final decision is viewable at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:
#Gamaliel is admonished for multiple breaches of Wikipedia policies and guidelines including for [[WP:POINT|disrupting Wikipedia to make a point]], [[WP:CSD|removing a speedy deletion notice from a page he created]], [[WP:ASPERSIONS|casting aspersions]], and perpetuating what other editors believed to be a [[WP:BLP|BLP violation]].
#DHeyward and Gamaliel are indefinitely prohibited from [[WP:IBAN|interacting with or discussing each other]] anywhere on Wikipedia, subject to the [[WP:BANEX|usual exemptions]].
#{{user|DHeyward}} is admonished for engaging in incivility and personal attacks on other editors. He is reminded that all editors are expected to engage respectfully and civilly with each other and to avoid making personal attacks.
#For conduct which was below the standard expected of an administrator — namely making an incivil and inflammatory close summary on ANI, in which he perpetuated the perceived BLP violation and failed to adequately summarise the discussion — JzG is admonished.
#Arkon is reminded that [[WP:EW|edit warring]], even if [[WP:3RRNO|exempt]], is rarely an alternative to discussing the dispute with involved editors, as suggested at [[WP:CLOSECHALLENGE]].
#The community is encouraged to hold an RfC to supplement the existing [[WP:BLPTALK]] policy by developing further guidance on managing disputes about material involving living persons when that material appears outside of article space and is not directly related to article-content decisions.

== March Madness 2017 ==

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/March Madness 2017|March Madness drive]]. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:

* tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
* updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
* creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other 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 military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/March Madness 2017|here]] for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.
