WikiProject Military History introduction

[edit]

Hey

[edit]

Adding reference on wiki articles

[edit]
Just follow the steps 1, 2 and 3 as shown and fill in the details

Hello Anurag2k12! Please do not forget to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Adding a well formatted references is very easy to do.

  1. While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "cite" click on it
  2. Then click on "templates",
  3. Choose the most appropriate template and fill as many details as you can,

This will add a well formatted reference that would be helpful in case the website link (web URL) becomes inactive (dead/link rot) after some time. You can read more about it on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv. thanks and regards --Anir1uph (talk) 16:09, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have made some minor modification on No. 16 Squadron IAF. Keep up the good work. Cheers! Anir1uph (talk) 16:09, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up. Anurag2k12 (talk) 16:13, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Teahouse logo
Hello! Anurag2k12, you are invited to join other new editors and friendly hosts in the Teahouse, an awesome place to meet people, ask questions, and learn more about Wikipedia. Please join us! ... And yes, it's ok to bring a friend. Rosiestep (talk) 02:55, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Since you are doing good work with references, I would suggest that you look into User:Dispenser/Reflinks, if you havn't already. It is an automated tool, which fill in the bare references without any user effort. To illustrate the power of this tool, see this and this. This would make finding and reworking refs much easier/convenient, giving you time to spend energy on other productive things. Do go through the suggested edits/preview as all responsibility of making the edit lies on you, and a bad edit would be blamed on you, not the tool. So use it knowing that. As usual, any questions are most welcome. Thanks Anir1uph | talk | contrib 21:42, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Trichy Assault Rifle

[edit]
Hi Anurag,
I'm very pleased to learn that you took time to go through the links provided. Trichy Assault Rifle (TAR) is an improved variant of AK-47 and has the fastest firing rate of 800 rounds/minute compared to the standard 600 rounds/minute of AK-47 in the burst mode. However, it became the problem as it caused stoppages so it was finally reduced to 650 rounds/minute which is again significantly higher than that of AK-47s. Overall, it's a variant of AK-47, you can even see it listed in AK-47's variant section. You may also want to look at the references to TAR in OFT's article which are

Tiruchi ordnance factory develops new assault rifle Indian Tiruchi Ordnance Factory Develops New Assault Rifle Like AK-47 Indian 'AK-47' too fast for its own good. Please help to report any errors you come across or simply modify yourself. Thanks a lot for your efforts!

Replaceable fair use File:Daru Kailahun Road.png

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Daru Kailahun Road.png. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Veggy (talk) 09:05, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:56, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

[edit]

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:09, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:IAF 16 Squadron Crest.jpg

[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:IAF 16 Squadron Crest.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

ATTENTION: This is an automated, bot-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 03:00, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
