Re:Battle of Fulford

While early English history is not my speciality, I'd recommend wikifying, expanding and adding references, then asking for help at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history and the Wikipedia:Peer Review. Keep up the good job!--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 01:02, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Don't worry about it, it's no problem. - Calgacus (Καλγακος) File:UW Logo-secondary.gif 21:33, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi Rick

Regarding your recent edit on the Battle of Grunwald, "Grunwaldu", is the genetive case of Grunwald in the Polish Language. They actually refer to it as "Bitwa pod Grunwaldem", to be even more grammatically correct. So for consistency in English, I will correct it by removing it (Grunwaldu), altogether. Best Wishes, p.s., the different names of the battle in different languages, is pretty well covered in the beginning of the article. Dr. Dan 19:10, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

No problemo! BTW, never got a chance to correct it. It was jumped on immediately by some hungry sharks. They unfortunately, never bother to explain their RVs and other actions to people. I thought as a courtesy to a new and young contributor to Wikipedia, that I should do so. Good Luck! Dr. Dan 19:55, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

You are right, three and a half months, is not "new". Sorry. Just for the record, I'm on your side. That's why I explained my correction, rather than just edited it. I appreciate your imput. Hope we can become friends. Dr. Dan 20:15, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

New stubs

Heh, these guys are going to be after you when they find out how many new small stub categories you've created ;-) Kirill Lokshin 02:29, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Technically, new stub types are only supposed to be made when there's a certain minimum number of stubs (~50?) that need them. I doubt there will be any big problem, but keep in mind that things like {{Finland-battle-stub}} aren't going to be very useful, since there's only a handful of articles that would ever use them; clumping them into somewhat bigger categories ({{Scandinavian-battle-stub}}, maybe?) might make them easier to find. Kirill Lokshin 02:34, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough. You may also want to ask Alai about this; I think he's gone through Category:Battle stubs recently, so he might have a better idea of which countries have enough to warrant their own categories. Kirill Lokshin 02:39, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I've seen problems like that too. You've been doing some great work with the stubs; I just wanted to make sure we didn't wind up with a lot of almost-empty categories that we'd need to maintain ;-) Kirill Lokshin 02:44, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I have counts of how these are "double-stubbed" at present; there's a few that were borderline, in the 40-60 range. (I can give you the blow-by-blow if you wish.) But these all look undersized to me. Can I suggest perhaps you keep these templates, to facilitate current sorting and possible future splitting, but merge the categories back into their various parents (by recategorising the templates). Alai 02:56, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Note in particular that there's a (recently created) {{UK-battle-stub}} already; that'd be the obvious place to merge the Scottish and English ones. Alai 03:03, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Grand. When they creep back up to closer to 60, then you can propose them, then 'snap back' the category on the template. BTW, I've already proposed, but not created, {{Russia-battle-stub}}, for which there were exactly 60 double-stubbed candidates, last time I checked... Alai 03:14, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Why not do the Russians now, and the Polish ones when they hit 60? It's no longer especially that urgent to split the category, as it's comfortably less thn 800 stubs now -- or was, last time I checked, at least! Alai 17:18, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

OK, I created the Russia-battle stub-type. I've a list of the articles I found that'd fit, here. Alai 07:30, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

I just used the same icon as with the "battle-stub" template. Obviously something suggestive of both "Russia" and "battle" would be ideal. Alai 19:50, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Do I have "anything on the Scandanavian battle stub idea" in what sense? You mean a count of whether they'd be over 60? Alai 01:13, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Military history WikiProject Newsletter, Issue I

The Military history WikiProject Newsletter Issue I - March 2006
Project news An independent military history peer review has been created for the benefit of the project. A number of articles have already been reviewed, receiving significantly more feedback within the project than they did on the generic peer review page. The project's Collaboration of the Fortnight got off to a great start with Ferdinand Foch and is now focusing on the military history of Spain. Two new task forces—dealing with warfare during classical antiquity and the Middle Ages—have been created. An effort to build a catalogue of high-quality maps for use in military history articles is now underway. The newly-formed translation department is looking for volunteers to help with translating featured articles from other-language Wikipedias.	From the Coordinators Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Military history WikiProject's newsletter! We hope that this new format will help members—especially those who may be unable to keep up with some of the rapid developments that tend to occur—find new groups and programs within the project that they may wish to participate in. Please consider this inital issue to be a prototype; as always, any comments and suggestions are quite welcome, and will help us improve the newsletter in the coming months. Kirill Lokshin, Lead Coordinator
Current proposals Proposed guidelines for categories of military people are currently being discussed. A number of issues have already been resolved, but the proposed scheme is still in draft form and further input would be very welcome.

Hussite Wars

Hi, you reverted my edit concerning the capitalization of headings. Actually, WP:MS, says the following:

Capitalize the first letter only of the first word and of any proper nouns in a heading, and leave all of the other letters in lowercase.

So I'll revert it back to "my" version, if you don't mind :) --- Sandius 17:12, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Images source

Hi. As regards Image:Hussite Wars.jpg, would you please add the source of the image? The same goes for Image:Wagonformation.jpg and Image:Hussite Infantry.jpg.--Panairjdde 09:17, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks 4 thanks

Thanks for your note. I hope you will visit "Trooping the Colour", a page I have done a lot of editing on. I'm hoping to bring that up to feature article standard. Indeed, if you wait a couple of weeks and take another look you will see it in better shape. Also, I have written a new article, "Feu de joie" - please take a look. -- FClef 17:56, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I think they were named for a river in Scotland - founded around the time of King Charles II (i.e. about 1660). -- FClef 20:52, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Alphonse Mucha.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Alphonse Mucha.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Thuresson 21:15, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

You uploaded this image claiming that its creator had released all copyright to it. It is a painting by Angus McBride and is found in The Hussite Wars 1419-36 by Stephen Turnbull (Osprey Books). I do not see any evidence that this image has been released and have therefore marked it as a copyvio. Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 18:58, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Prestonpans

Someone tagged Image:Battle of Prestonpans.jpg as a copyvio. Certainly the existing tag was unsatisfactory. When was it painted? Won't {{PD-art-life-50}} be suitable? -- RHaworth 10:15, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Help

Hello :-) You were involved in writing the article Stereotypes of white race ethnic groups and right now it's nominated for deletion. I really hope you could oppose it being deleted and ask to keep it. It's a nice interesting article, and only the polit-correction fanatics oppose to it (but those oppose to everything. I myself am white, Russian by the father and Jewish by the mother, and i really enjoyed the article and even created the Jews section and added information to the Russians section). Your oppinion on the article should be stated here. Thank you. M.V.E.i. 16:10, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
