A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar

Gee, thanks. Glad you liked my contribution. I had not planned to add any further information to the Military Production During World War II page.

There are some rather interesting books extant on this topic. A couple of the best are listed on the Wikipedia page as references (Richard Overy's book "Why the Allies Won," and Arthur Herman's book "Freedom's Forge: How American Business Produced Victory in World War II" (which I added).

Another good one is "Masters of Mass Production," by Christy Borth. It was published in 1945, but a used copy may be available. Also, "Climb to Greatness," by John B. Rae is excellent.

I made eager use of all of them in writing my small book, "Building Victory: Aircraft Manufacturing in the Los Angeles Area in World War II."

As Donald Douglas said, "Here's proof that free men can out-produce slaves."

Hello. You have a new message at David Condrey's talk page.

WWII

I'm sorry, I have no idea how this edit could've happened. I did not intend to delete any content.

Then again, I have to question how you dealt with his honest mistake of mine. Instead just leaving me a message on my talk page, you informed six other users and started an ANI on this, attempting to having me blocked for vandalism. What the hell? A simple "hey bender235, did you really wanted to delete all that content?" on my talk page would have been enough.

P.S: this edit, however, was legit. Wikipedia cannot be a source for itself. --bender235 (talk) 08:18, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Trying to figure out how to resolve things is one of the mysteries of Wikipedia for a new guy. I assumed you to be some sort of administrator making a final decision. I am still trying to understand how this place works. I brought my problem to people I thought could help, who told me in three instances to complain elsewhere. Which I did. Hence the repeated messages.

Then again, I have to question how you dealt with communications and the editing process. You obviously have more experience and skill than I, yet you did not communicate with me, open a discussion, post any questions or constructive suggestions, participate in a dialogue about constructive changes nor provide advice about Wiki editing standards. What am I to take from that? Your concern was legit, narrowly taken. All it required was a friendly inquiry, and an explanation that Wikipedia links go elsewhere, not the almost complete deletion of the new content.--Brukner (talk) 16:50, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Using a sandbox to develop complex edits

I noticed that you have made hundreds of edits on the article on Military production during World War II in the last 24 hours. I understand why you have have done this - make edit - check it looks right - check for mistakes - correct any mistakes - better save in case Wikipedia crashes... This is where making some private sandboxes can help. For example, you could copy all or part of the article into User talk:Brukner/Sandbox1. In this sandbox you could get the part of the article you are editing right, and then post back into the main article.

Using a sandbox like that would simplify the article history, and allow you to write meaningful edit summaries.--Toddy1 (talk) 09:02, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
