Hi. Type below this.

DYK for German submarine U-710

On 2 January 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article German submarine U-710, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that U-710 was sunk only ten days after beginning her first patrol? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/German submarine U-710. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, German submarine U-710), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Congratulations

Congratulations! With 21,073 views, your hook on the German submarine U-710 is one of the most viewed hooks for the month of January. Accordingly, your hook has been included at DYKSTATS January. It is also eligible for inclusion at the all-time leaders page: All-time non-lead hooks list. All the more impressive since it was not a lead/photo hook. Keep up the good work!

Declined A7s

Hi Lettler -- I've declined a couple of your recent A7s -- Space Force One and Statistics of the COVID-19 vaccination -- because they did not fall within the highly limited area that A7 covers. A7 is intentionally very limited so that it only covers topics in which a large number of non-notable articles are contributed and where a strong consensus for deletion exists. Everything else requires proposed deletion or Articles for deletion. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 01:23, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Belarusian Dance

Potential vandalism:

Hello. You nominated Belarusian folk dance for deletion, and the message was posted on my Talk page. I see a mistake or gross incompetence here based the justification provided: "This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic." Please remove this from my Talk page, if you made a mistake. The article is under improvement for editing and reference updates; however, it should not be deleted based on the criteria you indicated. Please do not make this mistake in the future. Thank you. Partizan Kuzya (talk) 17:01, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SOLDIER AFDs

Not sure if you're aware of this discussion: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#WP:SOLDIER regards Mztourist (talk) 08:49, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Problem?

Your complaint concerning Longinus876 is both unfounded and untrue. Please mind your own business in the future.Longinus876 (talk) 13:08, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is this supposed to be some sort of stupid joke? Lettlerhello • contribs 22:26, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ronald Reagan page.

You keep removing the categories of American military personnel of World War II & United States Army officer categories from the Reagan page. Reagan was on active duty (as an officer) with the cavalry before being transferred to the AAF. Reagan was also on active duty during World War II in the United States military. This category (to my knowledge) includes stateside service. Ergo, please stop removing the categories. Regards.Rja13ww33 (talk) 04:44, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is no policy here I am aware of that eliminates a category based on anything being superseded. It's a very basic category. It isn't unusual for armed forces personnel to fall into multiple categories.Rja13ww33 (talk) 04:51, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's common practice, however. Lettlerhello • contribs 04:53, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't seen it and it is no policy as far as I know. Without this, there is no way of noting (via categories) explicitly that he was on active duty during WW II.Rja13ww33 (talk) 05:00, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Could we then add the article to Category:United States Army Air Forces personnel of World War II? It isn't my preferred decision, but it does note he served on active duty during the war. Lettlerhello • contribs 05:01, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Fine by me.Rja13ww33 (talk) 05:04, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Slow down a bit

Hello, I was hoping you would slow down a bit regarding the large AfD list you're going through. I think you should let the current AfDs close and then nominate more. Best wishes from Los Angeles,  // Timothy :: talk  19:16, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is this person up to military notability

I was looking over the article on Charles Faulconer. I was wondering if you think he meets the notability guidelines for soldiers.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:40, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Faulconer did receive the Legion of Honor, so he does meet WP:SOLDIER. Lettlerhello • contribs 21:46, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think he would have just received a Chevalier of which over 75,000 have been given so I don't think it satisfies #1 of SOLDIER. Mztourist (talk) 03:31, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Alright. The article doesn't specify, so I wasn't sure exactly what to answer. Lettlerhello • contribs 04:16, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your revert of my changes to Tom Kirkwood

can you tell me why your reverted my edit of Tom Kirkwood on the grounds that there is unsourced material??

I did add more detail to this stub and I added 20 references to substantiate the information that I entered!

Your reverted to the version of DarkMatterMan4500, but as you can see on his talk page I discussed this with him and he agreed that my edits were okay. LexaDlawok (talk) 09:43, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Did somebody page me? And yes, I do remember that conversation, and please keep in mind that I have made plenty of mistakes here and on Miraheze as well. The thing is, I get very impulsive, so if I inadvertantly revert your edits without thinking, that's why. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:31, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
LexaDlawok, he did not agree with you. All he said was, verbatim, "That's because it didn't look sourced at first glance. If you believe that it was made in error, please, feel free to change it." Lettlerhello • contribs 17:20, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And that is what I did. So why are you disagreeing ?? Please tell me, why you think the references I gave are not sufficient, otherwise I can't improve it. LexaDlawok (talk) 08:08, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
