Uruguayan Army

Although I couldn't find the Army of this nation in your to-do-list, perhaps you are interested in drawing a structure of it, as there is a very actual orbat on the page I already talked to you about: http://www.saorbats.com.ar/ORBAT%20-%20Uruguay%20-%20ENU.htm

Historic Armies

Your army graphics are wonderful work, and I am very pleased that you are starting to make them for historic armies. Would you consider doing charts showing typical division organizations for the powers of World War II? (USA, Britain, Germany, USSR, Italy, Japan, etc.) --Lunar Dragoon (talk) 00:26, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Cuban army oob?

Not sure if you would want to make a graphical OOB for Cuba, but I found some online sources on their military organisation: http://web.archive.org/web/20080112102807/cubapolidata.com/cafr/cafr_military_regions.html http://topgun.rin.ru/cgi-bin/texts.pl?category=state&mode=show&unit=297&lng=eng

If you don't feel like making the graphic, I would like to ask permission to make the orbat using your graphics (the NATO signs you made e.t.c.). (Wilhelm Klave (talk) 11:43, 10 September 2009 (UTC))

Armed Forces of the Republic of Kazakhstan

Please remove the mountain battalion and 206th Reserve Division from Regional Command South - they do not, to my knowledge, exist. Cheers Buckshot06 (talk) 10:24, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

As for Afghanistan, 205th Corps has 1st Bde, Kandahar, 2nd Bde, Qalat, 4th Bde, (note: 4th Bde) Camp Holland, Tarin Kowt, Oruzgun.

This is because 3rd Bde, 205th Corps, is now it seems 1st Bde, 215th Corps, and 1st Bde, 215th Corps should be marked as Camp Sharabak, Helmand. Corps HQ for 215th Corps is Lashkar Gar. Please add 2nd Bde, 215th Corps, forming, elements, FOB Delaram, Farah Province. Do Not please mark the whole brigade as being there, it's only 5th Kandak at the moment. Cheers Buckshot06 (talk) 10:40, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Ignore the commando brigades - 3rd MArine Commando is the bde in RC West, others, no evidence that they exist.

Hi Noclador. Please do not move the Soviet/Russian armies to (Russia) designations. They are both Soviet and Russian, and thus it is confusing if they are given a new disambiguator. The '58th Army' (no bracket) compromise seemed to work best. For 2nd Guards Tank Army, just calling it '2nd Guards Tank Army' it's the only one in the entire world, so no need for disambiguation. I'm going to change 'commands' in RGF to 'formations,' as that appears more precise. Cheers Buckshot06 (talk) 03:51, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Right, Moscow. Do you have any confirmation that the 20 Guards Army directs everything? If not, please make it a direct report to district as a deployable HQ - with no subordinate formations unless you have confirmed details on them. My guess is that it certainly does not direct the force in Moldova, apart from anything else. Finally please add a source for the 2010 listings - right now, if it wasn't you, I would be deleting the whole lot as unsourced. Buckshot06 (talk) 03:55, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Same with Volga-Urals: please list 2 GTA as only an operationally deployable HQ, with no subordinate formations (like us, they'll probably pick specific units and mix them around if any deployment is ordered) and provide a source. Cheers Buckshot06 (talk) 04:01, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

1. I cordially HATE making unnecessary moves, so we'll leave them as they are for now. We can figure out what to do with them later.

2. Thanks for taking my point on the subordination. We really always need to be careful of assuming things that aren't in the sources.

3. Thankyou for requesting the sources. We can wait around three weeks, then if nothing has arrived we will need to revise the data according to Vad777's published data (the Brinkster.net source that you see linked at several military districts).

Cheers and thanks Buckshot06 (talk) 23:31, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

We're working simultaneously! Thanks for your message. Sounds fine. I have just had to remove your new graphic from the Russian Ground Forces page. It is unusable, too complicated. Please do another one that goes only to Army level, and then has a brief textual note under each army: x motor rifle brigades, y tank brigades, z combat support brigades, a combat service support brigades. The detailed diagrams are fine at MD level but a whole-of-ground-forces diagram is unworkable. Hope this doesn't make you feel bad, but it's a trend I've noticed in your diagrams for some time. Kind regards from NZ, Buckshot06 (talk) 03:03, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Noclador. The main websites are simply not enough. Each individual news article must be sourced. If there's a particular soldat.ru article listing a brigade somewhere, that has to be indicated. Please ask him to do a listing per district, each individual news article or other, grouped by district. Yes, this does verge on WP:OR, but if each individual news article is listed, we ought to be able to get away with it. The ones he got from work - well, we'll listing all available news articles, and see if anybody notices the missing data, which they probably won't.

We particularly need a source for the new 100th Experimental Reconnaissance Brigade in the SKVO. That does not show up anywhere else, as far as I know. Buckshot06 (talk) 11:11, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Let me also clarify why I removed the SKVO diagram. We've discussed this business of no confirmation of formations all reporting through HQ 58th Army. That's my primary disagreement. Change the diagram slightly and move HQ 58th Army off to the side with no subordinate formations and I would have left it there. Cheers Buckshot06 (talk) 11:17, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

I can see them on my browser now - all three western districts with one operational command apiece. Thanks for making that change. Cheers Buckshot06 (talk) 00:28, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Next

Take a look at KOSTRAD, the Indonesian Army's strategic reserve. Do a diagram each for 1st Div and 2nd Div - not a whole every-battalion corps level diagram - it's unreadable!! Buckshot06 (talk) 05:30, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

I've reverted your removal of the 33 battalions in Kostrad. Non-Western armed forces are often organised in ways that appear very strange - if you need another example, check out the organisation of the Joint Integrated Units in South Sudan, through the link at Military of Sudan at the bottom. The citation was sourced, as of April 1998, we have no better source, and I personally know the author of the article - he's now with IISS in Singapore heading their Southeast Asia operation. I trust the data. Unless we have any better information, it behooves us to keep the full picture present, whether it matches our preconceptions or not. Thanks for all your hard work. Cheers Buckshot06 (talk) 00:59, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for making the changes to the ANA article. Unfortunately there was a mistake made at 4th Bde, 205th Corps. Should be Tarin Kowt, Oruzgun. The way it is at the moment, it's based in two provinces hundreds of miles apart. Please also remove the location reference from 2nd Bde, 215th Corps, or place the word 'elements' there - right now there is no confirmation that the brigade is concentrated there. Buckshot06 (talk) 01:05, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

There are a few things here that we need to consider. The divisional data from the WP:RS reliable sources is as of 1998. Second the listing of units is from non-Reliable Sources - that is, Indonesian wikipedia. You cannot compare one source of data to the other; they're completely independent. No, I haven't talked to the guy for ten years- only met him about three times. Right now, I'm sorry, but that's all there is. Buckshot06 (talk) 21:49, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Er, the brigade at Tarin Kowt. It's not 'and'. Tarin Kowt is the town, and Oruzgun is the province. I meant to imply 'Tarin Kowt, Oruzgun.' Not 'and'. Cheers Buckshot06 (talk) 05:49, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello Noclador,

one thing I have always liked about your graphics is their level of detail. Among other things, it makes them an excellent source of information. So please, do not listen to Buckshot06 telling you to avoid a certain level of detail or to stick to brigade- or division-level graphics only. Because as a consequence they lose a lot of their informational value and of their uniqueness. If Buckshot06 has a problem with your graphics being to big or unreadable (allegedly), why should all the other fans of your work suffer for it?

Russian Ground Forces

Thanks for starting to stick those sources in - appreciate it. Would you please mind adding the sources to the actual charts as well, as per the 58th Army chart? That means it is clear where the source is for the chart, because while 'Own work' does cover the making of the chart, it does not cover where the data for the chart came from. Buckshot06 (talk) 23:54, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Noclador. Could you please break the list of sources down by district and insert them into the Commons file at the source line? Something like bulletpoints -

• chart - own work
• Krasnaya Zvezda X XX 20XX
• local newspaper
• web source

etc? That would link the specific sources directly to the units much better. Otherwise people don't know which refers to which and cannot check as easily. Buckshot06 (talk) 01:35, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Australian Army ORBAT 2010

Could you update the Australian Army ORBAT 2010 (File:Australia_Army_2010.png)? I appreciate that your expertise is in the design of ORBAT images rather than the finer points of the Australian Army, so my request is intended as constructive suggestion from someone who is very familiar with the subject. The following changes are required to update the ORBAT for Australian usage:

• Brigade is abbreviated Bde not Brig (BRIG is the abbreviation for the rank Brigadier).
• Regiment is abbreviated Regt not Rgt.
• Support is abbreviated Spt not Sup (Sup is the abbreviation for supply).
• Combat Service Support Brigade (CSS Bde) and Force Support Battalions (FSB) use the same military symbol as the CSSBs ie a rectangle with a wedge on the right side (the symbol for Combat Service support), not a straight line two thirds of the way down (the symbol for supply).
• Special Forces - military symbol does not have a box around the SF.
• Command is abbreviated Comd not Com.
• Reserve Brigades are not designated as Reserve Brigades in their title so if it is necessary to refer to their Reserve status, this should be at the end of the title, not in the middle.
• Under 4 Bde, it is the Royal Victorian Regiment (RVR) not the Victorian Regiment.
• Under 11 Bde, it is the Royal Queensland Regiment (RQR) not the Queensland Regiment.
• Combat is abbreviated Cbt, not C.
• Squadron can be abbreviated Sqn if necessary.
• Abbreviations of Australian military units do not use full stops.

DiggerHistory is a good reference source. Thanks for your assistance! AusTerrapin (talk) 14:04, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

G'day Noclador, in response to your questions: 1.Bn for Battalion is ok?

This is fine.

2.for the 3rd Field Squadron of the 9th Combat Engineer Regiment - should I write "3rd Field Squadron" or "3rd Field Squadron, 9th Combat Engineer Regiment" or "3 Sqn 9th Combat Eng Regt" or which variation thereof??? the same question applies to the 13 Field Squadron, 13th Combat Engineer Regiment and the 35th Field Squadron of 11th Combat Engineer Regiment.

Definitely 3 Fd Sqn or 3rd Field Squadron rather than 3 Sqn. As the numbering of the Fd Sqns are independant of their parent Regt, it is not essential to refer to the parent Regt but for the benefit of the non-expert, it is probably better to include the parent regt, thus 3 Fd Sqn, 9 CER. CER is how the Combat Engineering Regiments are actually abbreviated in Australia, although Cbt Engr Regt could be used as an abbreviation if required to make it a little clearer to the outsider whilst using the Australian Army abbreviations for the respective elements of the title.

3.also: I need a clear instruction as to what to do with units numbers: 1st or 1, 4th or 4 - and is there a difference between battalions, brigades and regiments??? i.e. do you write: 4th brigade or 4 brigade, 3rd regiment or 3 regiment, 7th battalion or 7 battalion; and with 2 numbers: "31st/42nd Royal Queensland Regiment" or "31/42nd Royal Queensland Regiment" or "31/42 Royal Queensland Regiment"... I saw all three variants... the less text there is, the easier it is for me to fit it in the text fields - so I always prefer to just write: 1, 3, 5, ecc. but! what is the official naming policy of the Australian Army???

Ordinals are used when writing the unit names in full but are abandoned for the abbreviations thus 3 Fd Sqn and 3rd Field Squadron. There is no difference in this for different unit/sub-unit levels. For linked units 31/42 RQR and 31st/42nd Battalion, the Royal Queensland Regiment is correct.

4.also: 7th Battery 3rd Field Regt or 7 Battery 3 Field Regt or 7 Bty 3rd Field Regt or 7th Bty 3 Field Regt... what is right?

Either 7 Bty, 3 Fd Regt (abbreviated) or 7th Battery, 3rd Field Regiment (in full)

5.16th (Aviation) Brigade or 16 Brigade (Aviation) or... ???

Either 16 (Avn) Bde or 16th (Aviation) Brigade

6.any other changes?

Not that I can think of. Regarding your response to the SF marking - I accept your rationale, although my recollection is that the box is not used elsewhere, but I would have to check my facts on this. I should note that I don't mean the unit box, just the line immediately around the letters SF. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AusTerrapin (talk • contribs) 21:31, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Conservation status of the Bavarian language

The Bavarian language was reported to be a 'vulnerable' language not by me, but by UNESCO experts in the Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger. If you believe they are mistaken, entries in their Atlas are open to comments and corrections, you can use a form in the map if you are interested in doing so. I actually think Bavarian fits the definition of 'vulnerable' language ("most children speak the language, but it may be restricted to certain domains e.g., home") rather neatly. I would recommend that you look further into the UNESCO atlas I linked above, and in any case leave a message in the article's discussion page, before considering again the removal of Bavarian from the list.--93.41.224.73 (talk) 03:19, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

To make it short: UNESCO= wrong; I happen to live in South Tyrol and know my language and the situation first hand - vulnerable the Bavarian is not at all - it's use is growing beyond all human communications and now more and more even seeping into film, radio, TV, theater ecc. the claim it might be restricted to the home use is ludicrous - you will be hard pressed to find anyone in South Tyrol, Tyrol or Bavaria capable of speaking clear High German, as the use of Bavarian is so widespread and ingrained that there is 0 danger to the use of the language at all! noclador (talk) 03:36, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

not to forget the growing Bavarian wikipedia, noclador (talk) 03:40, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

May I suggest you leave a note on the article reporting the contradictory view instead of outright removing any mention of Bavarian?93.45.53.227 (talk) 18:51, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

NRDC-IT and 3rd Army Corps

Am I right to associate it:3º Corpo d'Armata with the NATO Rapid Deployable Italian Corps? If so, would you please indicate what material I should translate to fill out the history? Buckshot06 (talk) 10:30, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

You are insofar correct to associate the 3° Corps with the NRDC-ITALY, as the 3° Corps was the predecessor of the NRDC. With the change of name also the duties where changed: the 3° Corps was the reserve corps of the Italian Army during the Cold War, tasked with absorbing the reserves, while the 5° Corps was supposed to fight the Warsaw pact forces to a standstill in north-eastern Italy. If the 5° Corps would fail or in case the enemy would be able to breach the 4° Corps Northern Defensive Line (= the Alps), the 3° Corps would then engage the broken through enemy to destroy it before he could reach the vital industrial centers of Milan and Turin. There is also a German wiki article about the NATO Rapid Deployable Corps - Italy which draws a line of succession from the 3° Corps to the NRDC-IT. Also the official history of the NRDC at the Italian Armys homepage is a good source: NATO RAPID DEPLOYABLE CORPS - ITALY. noclador (talk) 11:15, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Catfish Entry

Hi, hello-- sorry, I am very new to Wikipedia, and not very good at it.

I recently made an entry for "Catfish" (the movie), and you had this to say about it (my entry):

"I threw the negative BS out - there is almost nothing known about this film, but when more than 50% of the article is personal comments and bad-mouthing of the film- that article needs clean up!"

Again, I am sorry, because I am new, but I do not know what all that means. I tried to review the original, and compare it to your critique, and here is the breakdown:

"I threw the negative BS out" - I am sorry, I was not trying to be negative. I do not know which parts you thought to be negative, and why you thought it was "BS."

To check BS, I looked at each assertion I made in my entry; here is what I came up with:

First, the original entry:

"A much-hyped 2010 film built around the conceit that the story is "true," almost exactly the same as the prior, oft-ballyhooed "Blair Witch Project.' Advertised as a documentary involving a man being filmed by his friends as he builds a romantic relationship on the social networking website Facebook with an attractive girl, and the thrilling, mysterious results when they all go to visit her (begging the question of what kind of idiot would have his friends bring a video camera along on his first meeting with a chick he met on the Internet...and what kind of idiots would go with him)."

There are 101 words in that entry. So...

"much-hyped" - there are a lot of ads for it, and the trailer is on the Apple site, and it was at Sundance. I think that is much hype. It was on the home page of IMDB, which is not inexpensive. I think that qualifies as much hype.

"2010" - that is the year it came out.

"film" - it is.

"built around the conceit that the story is 'true'" - it is, from the trailer. That is the main selling point.

"almost exactly the same as the prior, oft-ballyhooed "Blair Witch Project.'" - Blair Witch did come before Catfish, it did receive a lot of attention, and it used the same device: that the scripted movie was "really" a documentary. Okay, I should have probably used "Spinal Tap," instead, which came before either of them, but that one was in a different genre, so it's not "almost exactly the same" conceit.

"Advertised as a documentary involving a man being filmed by his friends as he builds a romantic relationship on the social networking website Facebook with an attractive girl, and the thrilling, mysterious results when they all go to visit her" - it is. That is the entirety of the trailer.

"(begging the question of what kind of idiot would have his friends bring a video camera along on his first meeting with a chick he met on the Internet...and what kind of idiots would go with him)" - it does beg that question; in fact, that is the whole of the suspension-of-disbelief that the filmmaker asks the audience to make. But, honestly, I see where "idiot" may be strong, and come across as opinion. So even if this whole sentence was opinion...that is 37 words. Much less than "more than 50% of the article," as you stated.

I mean no disrespect, but I think you did not like the tone of my article, and dismissed the content because of the tone, even though you really didn't know the facts about the article/topic, which isn't really all that fair. Again, I am new at this, but this is my understanding of the situation, so please forgive me if I am mistaken, but that certainly seems to be true.

To continue with the breakdown of your analysis of my article:

"there is almost nothing known about this film" - the IMDB page has at least four entries of people who have seen it, and, of course, the full IMDB entry, which tells a lot. Also, the trailer is on the Apple trailer site. A Google search on "Catfish movie" returns over a million hits.

"more than 50% of the article is personal comments and bad-mouthing of the film" - I think I addressed that statistic (and the differentiation of how much is "personal" and "bad-mouthing") earlier, when I counted the words and did a fact-check breakdown.

"that article needs clean up!"[sic] - All right. I can try to clean it up...but the revision you made excised a whole bunch of data about the movie that I included in my original piece. Would you see your way fit to replacing it? Or, if I tried to recreate it (without the words you don't like), would you reconsider it again?

I am sorry we do not see eye to eye on this, and that my style is disagreeable to you, and I really have to beg your patience with me, and I thank you very much for your time, it is very nice of you, and I do not mean to trouble you in any way. Thank you very much.SLOW93 (talk) 19:20, 6 August 2010 (UTC)SLOW93

How do you make these Orbats?

How do you make these awesome looking orbat charts :D I'm looking to find a way of making them for the armed forces of the countries in the game, erepublik, and It'd be great to use the same visual style as yours :O Jan Baykara (talk) 14:11, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

it's all done in Photoshop - and it's a lot of time :-) if you send me your email address here I will send you a zip file with all the basic symbols and then you can start creating your own charts :-) noclador (talk) 19:36, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Gaddafi

Hi, I noticed your edits on Gaddafi across numerous articles, many are fine, but quite a few seem to involve POV pushing, such as [3][4]this one also includes incorrect information[5]. You remove his title of Colonel from some and add the unsourced claim that he is a dictator in another, these actions seem to be an attempt to belittle a man. Please try to avoid making unsourced allegations and removing of people's titles in the future. Passionless -Talk 01:04, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

I am trying to unify the spelling of his name; currently there are like 20+ variants on wikipedia and I change them to Muammar al-Gaddafi, which is the name of the article on wikipedia. as for your third example: yeah - I did a bit of glass-balling there. The title of Colonel he doesn't use anymore as far as I know - he is now the "Brotherly Leader and Guide of the First of September Great Revolution of the Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya"... as for the dictator: I checked now the BBC and they keep with Libyan leader for now. I will continue changing his name to standard spelling, but will leave leader and Colonel in place where I find them. Ok? noclador (talk) 01:12, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Alright, thank you for being so reasonable, keep up the standardization, Passionless -Talk 01:18, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

no problem - thanks for pointing out to recheck if he is now being called dictator or still leader. all the best; noclador (talk) 01:20, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
