== re: 31st National Geographic Bee ==

You duplicated a existing draft. I created the article first, on March 28th! <b><i>Mine</i></b> is the original!

[[Draft:31st_National_Geographic_Bee]]

Sincerely, [[User:World Metro|World Metro]] ([[User talk:World Metro|talk]]) 16:28, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

And- And you even stole the table directly from my draft! You dirty dirty thief! [[User:World Metro|World Metro]] ([[User talk:World Metro|talk]]) 16:29, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Wait, never mind. I was looking at mine. Very sorry. [[User:World Metro|World Metro]] ([[User talk:World Metro|talk]]) 16:30, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Wait wait, never mind never mind, you <i>did</i> take my table! I know that because of the text in the "place" column! I was looking at "yours" all along! I'm feeling very angry right now! [[User:World Metro|World Metro]] ([[User talk:World Metro|talk]]) 16:33, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

There was probably a nicer way to say all that, and here it is: If you wanted to contribute, you could have just done that. You didn't need to plagiarize my table. Here's a quote from [[WP:PLAGIARISM]]: "[C]opying content (including text, images, and citations) from one Wikipedia article to another or from one language Wikipedia to another is not plagiarism as long as attribution is provided via the edit summaries." You should have at least credited the table to me in the edit description, which you didn't. And "yours" got into article space, and the reviewers accused mine of duplicating it! How unfair is that?

2017 Military Historian of the Year and Newcomer of the Year nominations and voting

As we approach the end of the year, the Military History project is looking to recognise editors who have made a real difference. Each year we do this by bestowing two awards: the Military Historian of the Year and the Military History Newcomer of the Year. The co-ordinators invite all project members to get involved by nominating any editor they feel merits recognition for their contributions to the project. Nominations for both awards are open between 00:01 on 2 December 2017 and 23:59 on 15 December 2017. After this, a 14-day voting period will follow commencing at 00:01 on 16 December 2017. Nominations and voting will take place on the main project talkpage: here and here. Thank you for your time. For the co-ordinators, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:35, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User group for Military Historians

Greetings,

"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.

Your move of B. J. Pak to Byung J. Pak borked the edit history of the pages. Now one page has edit history for a page that no longer exists at that location, and the other page has just one piece of history that shows the whole article being copy-pasted. I'm going to ask you to revert your edits and then request a move at WP:RM instead, to preserve the edit histories of the pages. – JocularJellyfish TalkContribs 16:46, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Marty Kemp moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Marty Kemp, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

I'm concerned that this edit to Clay Cox is a copyright violation, as you added material copied from this page which appears to be under copyright. Note that while works of the U.S. federal government are in the public domain, works by state governments (such as that page) are usually not (see Wikipedia:Public domain#U.S. government works). Can you clarify at all? It's possible that I've missed something. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 23:24, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
