You seem quite the authority on Thad! Thank you for your input to this article. Could you please add a publisher and date (or other source) on the Intrepid reference to your materials? BTW, if you use the "view preview" button (or paste text from a spell-checked word document), you can cut down on the number of minor cleanup "editions" that the saved history database keeps. ;-) Lupinelawyer 00:25, 20 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Mount Lowe article

edit

Thanks for your great work on Mount Lowe Railway! I made a few copyedits to the article but didn't change anything of substance that you wrote.

I also removed your signature. My apologies, but Wikipedia articles are always unsigned. Your name can be seen in the "History" tab, and anyone who runs a diff on the history will see what work you did.

Thanks again! Lawrence King 10:45, 26 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

P.S. Some friends and I went hiking up in the Mount Lowe ruins around ten years ago -- some pretty cool stuff. Sadly, I'm now in the Bay Area instead of the Los Angeles area where I grew up....

The Mount Lowe Railway article was put on the WikiProject:Trains list and given a B Class rating. When I was first editing the article it was a jumble of what people before were piecing in and it had no direction. At this point I am acclaimed a foremost authority on the railroad. I have rewritten a more comprehensive article in hopes to improve its rating. I invite you readers to go there! Magi Media 19:30, 23 July 2006 (UTC)Magi MediaReply

Movement to impeach George W. Bush

edit

Hi Magi Media. I noticed your comment on Movement to impeach George W. Bush and thought you might be interested to know that the article was previously nominated for deletion. You can see the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Movement to impeach George W. Bush and see why it was kept. I have not made many contributions to the article, and did not participate in the AfD, but I think that article takes a pretty NPOV on a real, notable and verifiable movement. Given the result of the AfD, it seems that the article is on Wikipedia for good. (No alternate meaning intended there.) btm talk 10:39, 18 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Railroad

There's a question about the Mt. Lowe Railroad. the article says it " had the distinction of being the one and only electric traction (overhead electric trolley) railroad ever built." That seems implausible. Is there perhaps a word missing? Cheers, -Will Beback 02:49, 25 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks again for your excellent contributions regrading the history and geopgrahy of the area. It occurs to me that you'd be an ideal person to write an article on Abbott Kinney.

Arroyo Seco

Thanks for your improvements to the Arroyo Seco article. I was wondering if you have any sources or references for some of the information you added. Assuming you do, could you please add a "References" section to the article with the appropriate information? Thanks in advance. Mike Dillon 16:09, 10 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Please don't take my request as a challenge. When I called your additions "improvements", I meant it. I have read your bio and your additions definitely seemed verifiable, so I wasn't going to remove them or anything. Since, as you say, there are many sources that you are familiar with, I really just wanted you to add the best and most relevant of those sources to a References section. I'm not asking for inline citations of every detail, but the addition of a robust list of references will allow citations to be added in time to improve the usefulness of the article as part of the larger encyclyopedia.

Tongva move

edit

It would probably be best to propose the move on the discussion page for the Tongva article. I would assume that the tribe would prefer the name from their native language and that the recognized tribal name "Gabrielino/Tongva" is probably used because they were called "Gabrielino" in treaties or some other earlier form of recongition. Personally "Tongva" seems like a better name to me. Mike Dillon 04:44, 14 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Balloon

edit

Sorry to keep pruning your stuff, but you are putting disproportionately large amounts of details on peripheral matters into these battle articles. If we spend 2-3 paragraphs on the infantry actions, spending equal or greater space to details about Lowe and where his balloons were is not appropriate. The First Bull Run article should probably be twice as long as it is, but this is not the way to expand it. Long details about ACW ballooning in general can go into its own article, details about Lowe's exploits into his biography. Hal Jespersen 01:47, 20 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

I don't mind the pruning. I toss out the material and others can cut it to what's appropriate. I was trying to find someway for someone to edit all I had to write, but there seemed to be no one who could answer my how-to's. I'll take you're remarks into consideration and pare down this article. Thanks Magi Media 02:50, 20 March 2006 (UTC)Magi Media

Dirigible

edit

Thanks for the spiffy picture that you put into the "dirigible" article. However, since "dirigible" is an archaic term, the "dirigible" article is a disambiguation page that primarly directs people the article named after the more modern term -- airship. (See the Terminology section of airship for a complete discussion of the terms and their meanings.) I think you'll find that the "airship" article is fairly complete. I've also taking the liberty of moving the new image to the more appropriate non-rigid airship. Regards. Blimpguy 18:01, 29 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Re: Benjamin D. Wilson

edit

Hi there. Thanks for your comment about the notes I made on my cursory research of Benjamin Wilson. I guess I could have integrated some of the more verifiable material into the article, but I felt like the sum of my sources all seemed like hearsay. I couldn't actually point to a decent, consistent source, so I didn't add the stuff to the article. I remember reading that nobody has really done a biography of Wilson, so I figured the disparate source materials had not really been organized yet (beyond the Wilson papers collection at the Huntington).

Also, my understanding of the Don Benito thing was that to become a citizen of Mexico at the time, one had to swear to be a Catholic and take a Spanish first name. When Wilson went to what was then Mexico in the early 1840s and wanted to own land, he became a Mexican citizen and took the name Don Benito Wilson. I didn't keep track of where I read that, but it seems plausible. Pretty much anyone who owned land in the Mexican era was called "Don" (it comes from Latin dominus, "lord of the house"). Mike Dillon 03:52, 7 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I've heard pretty much the same thing. There's an unrelated story that John Robinson tells of a Mr. Chapman who smuggled into L.A. in the olden days. He was thrown into jail because he was a Yankee, and as such could not legally reside there. It turned out that Chapman was a woodsman and the city was desperate for someone who could fell lumber competently, so he was released on "parole" to cut trees in Icehouse Canyon. Also from Robinson I recall reading that Wilson was among the first gringos to become established in town. -Will Beback 05:35, 7 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
Very good gentlemen, your understanding of these two men is pretty good. It is very plausible that Wilson had to become a Mexican citizen and a Catholic at that time in California history. The good historical authority I take my lead from was a So Cal map historian who actually told us that gringos in California were basically prisoners under state house arrest. That meant you were free to travel about, but not leave California. However, you could marry into Spanish families. General Patton, and the Patton family, were Catholics, so thereby hangs the tale. Chapman was taken prisoner from a captured ship near Monterey. He was a tall strapping redheaded Scotsman who generally found favor with the Spanish and with the Indians, like Wilson. He was given walking freedom due to the fact that he was able to organize the Indians in helping with the logging done in that canyon, but I didn't remember the name "Icehouse." Magi Media 13:34, 7 April 2006 (UTC)Magi MediaReply
From what I understand, the Mexican policies were comparable to previous imperial Spanish policies, which had been so strict as to forbid trade with other countries, and which ran the colony almost as a military outpost. Wasn't the trade that Richard Dana participated in illicit? Anyway, I don't have the book at hand, but I recall reading that Chapman logged the tall trees (incense cedars, ponderosa pines) that grow in Icehouse Canyon, a tributary of the San Antonio Creek. No matter. -Will Beback 08:37, 8 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
Spanish and Mexican policies -- like in Texas - were strict in theory but rather lax in practice. Practically speaking, Californians needed the Yankees and their trading connections. I think it a stretch to describe that "gringos" were under a form of "house arrest." There were quite a few here -- Abel Stearns and Don Juan Temple probably the two most familiar -- who made numerous trips to Mexico. I believe Stearns even returned to Massachusetts -- but I couldn't swear to it without the sources in front of me.
As for the Pattons, while they may have converted to Catholicism much later, they were Episcopalians when they came to California after the Civil War, from Culpeper County, Virginia. George Patton Sr. and George H. Smith (stepfather to George Patton Jr. who married B.D. Wilson's daughter) were close cousins back in Virginia, and were also somewhat distant cousins of John Strother Griffin (Wilson's frequent business partner). Through marriages and other business relationships, they were also very closely connected with the Eatons, the Bannings, as well Glassell and Chapman.
Good sources for all this include Reid, History of Pasadena; various bios of the Patton family (except Ladislas Fargo's, numerous inaccuracies in that), Wright, Doris M. A Yankee in Mexican California: Abel Stearns, 1798-1848; 71.116.187.143 00:20, 18 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
Excellent sourcing here! I have a great book called the History of Los Angeles County (1885) which pretty much related the stories I had told above. There was probably more "house arresting" among the Spanish Californians than the Mexican regime. It was a roach motel policy: you could check in, but you couldn't check out. California was a kept secret, the "island" that the Spanish more protected than outsourced. I'm sure that eventually the ruling became a little lax and that maybe exceptions were made, but I'm not so sure about the interstate trade connections. I don't think that Wilson and Chapman were trade connections. There was also a realization by the US govt at the time of the revolutions that there were Yankees in California with interests to protect and that was one of the reason for the conflict leading up to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo, the annexation and the pacification. And the Pattons were Episcopalians??? Magi Media 02:57, 18 April 2006 (UTC)Magi MediaReply

History of Los Angeles, California

edit

Hve you read over History of Los Angeles, California? I saw you made a small edit. It's a big article, with many fine sections. But there's a gap- we have almost nothing about one of the most interesting periods of the area, 1913 - 1941. I know your allegiance is to another community, but we have to "write for the enemy" around here. Of course the article suffers from the difficult position of the primary city within a megalopolis- the question of how much of the history should be regional versus city-specific. While the L.A. city article should be strict, it makes sense for a history article to be more inclusive. Another odd factor in the article are the "special topics". Those are partly my creation, when I moved long stretches of text that didn't fit the chronology into those appendices. They seemed too important to the topic to delete or move to another article, although the arrangement is clumsy. If we can integrate more of it into the chronology that'd make it less separate. Anyway, any help you can contribute would be appreciated. Cheers, -Will Beback 08:35, 20 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Everybody likes your brother-in-law. He's especially popular with Griffith Park hikers like myself. Anyway, politicians of a different sort ran the city in the 1920s and 1930s. Mayor Shaw is a great subject. -Will Beback 20:20, 20 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Altadena map

Mike,

Love the historic Altadena map. I'm moving into Altadena this month, and I'm wondering if you know where I might be able to find a large print of that map to frame and hang in my house. dpotter 20:21, 29 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

The map of which you speak is a John Woodbury map, and of course, as you may know, he was one of the principals of the Rubio Land & Water Co. So Rubio water owns the original. Duplications were made back in the 70's when Robert Petersen was writing the "Golden Years" book. So large copies are not available these days. Anything else about it has to be bootlegged from existing copies, and to tell you the truth I don't remember where I got my copy. But since it's on line. it's not very big. Thanks for your interest and welcome to Altadena. Mike (Magi Media) Manning


Battle of Puebla

edit

Many thanks for your authoritative sorting out of Battle of Puebla. It was an excellent idea to include the legends, carefully segregated as such - with a bit of luck that will stop them creeping back into the main page. I fear, though, that this is a page that will always need vigilance, since the related Cinco de Mayo page is a constant resort of vandals. seglea 19:00, 27 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Switzer's

edit

The headwater of the Arroyo Seco is Red Box, but I doubt that spot is worth having an article. As I recall, Robinson says that Switzer gained the moniker "Commodore" for his management of mules in stream crossings. Robinson also says that there was a sign along the trail near the camp from which hung a horn. The instructions said to use the horn to indicate how many guests were arriving, so that their dinner could be prepared. The chapel was a masterful illusion, from the photos I've seen. I can't recall the number of deaths on the sign, but it wasn't more than a dozen. Of course it's an old sign now, and the real number may be higher. Cheers, -Will Beback 02:40, 26 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

67! Wow. I once saw S&R helicopters from the LA Sheriff's Dept either rescuing or practicing around Switzer's Falls. I was up in a ridge, and was very impressed to see the big choppers in that narrow canyon. As for the other camp, do you mean Oakwild(e)? -Will Beback 04:23, 26 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

footnotes

edit

I noticed you are using some manual HTML markup to create footnotes in your balloon corps article. See WP:FN for a very nice method of managing footnotes. Although that page clearly states that the mechanism described is not mandatory, I think you will find that the overwhelming tendency in Wikipedia is to use it. (The format of the text in the footnotes themselves does not seem to have been standardized.) I have seen numerous discussions of reviews for featured article status that recommend it. If you would like to see some examples in a real article, try George B. McClellan or Battle of Shiloh. Hal Jespersen 15:19, 4 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

My footnotes
Thanks for the advice on automatic footnoting. I changed the title to notes, because that's what they really are...tidbits of additional information to round out a story.
I refrain from footnoting references to pages in books I have read, because I don't need the article to sound like I wrote it while I was reading the book. The article on McClellan looked just like that. As the numbers of the refs went down the page, so did the pages referred to in the book the guy was reading.
I wrote a book on this subject...if anything is going to get referenced it's my book. And a good deal of the fresh material is derived from Lowe's Reports which are not paged, but go by dates of the letters and communiques.
But I like the wiki-feature of the <ref/ref>. So thanks!--Magi Media 06:56, 5 October 2006 (UTC)Magi Media

You're welcome. My comments referred to the mechanical means of recording the notes, not to the style of usage. The correct term for the section here is Notes, but I usually used the term footnotes when I correspond with people so they know what I'm talking about. (I suppose Endnotes would be more technically accurate, but the recently emerging standard on Wikipedia seems to be Notes.) I use Notes for both in-line citations and additional explanations, as many book authors do.

You are free to document your articles in any way that you like, but let me point out a few things for your consideration. Wikipedia has a hierarchy of article assessments and if you ever hope to achieve the status of featured article or good article (which I personally do not care about, but many people seem to), you will need to provide many in-line citations or the nomination of your article will be summarily rejected. And the notion that an article is less valuable because you read it in a book goes against the Wikipedia philosophy of creating articles, which is to spurn original research and to create articles based on verifiable secondary sources. Hal Jespersen 15:11, 5 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

My notes
Thank you again!
A couple of my articles have received B ratings, and the idea of making a GA is appealing. This one on the Union Army was particularly mentioned, and I am proud to have gotten this close to such an honorable mention. I am weighing whether all the work is worth it, like you said, how important is it, really?
Now by in-line citation, do we mean classically footnoted to other publications, like the McClellan and Shiloh articles?
I really appreciate your help with this. BTW, how do you like the article, per se?
Mike ManningMagi Media 01:53, 6 October 2006 (UTC)Magi Media

You're welcome again. I don't take the article assessment process very seriously for the articles I write because I am really not too interested in the opinions of anonymous reviewers. (If one of the noted Civil War historians I respect wrote me an e-mail with criticisms of an article, I would snap to attention and fix it immediately.) You'll also find that the assessments underneath the GA level are rather arbitrary and unsupervised. However, having said that, I recognize that (1) many people are interested in achieving these milestones and (2) the criteria stated for the articles are actually quite good and improve the quality whether they get the badge or not.

Yes, by in-line citations I mean "footnoted" in a manner similar to a history book. When I first started in Wikipedia, it was not the custom to do this, which has resulted in hundreds of thousands of articles that are undocumented. Unlike a real, printed encyclopedia, we do not have the option of signing our names to articles, so there is no way for the reader to judge the quality of the opinions and the correctness or completeness of facts in the article. Therefore, we have to rely on citations. I have recently been using the following standards for my longer articles:

  1. At least one footnote per paragraph in the main body of the article.
  2. Specific footnotes for quotations.
  3. Specific footnotes for "facts" that differ between historians, such as the very common variations in battle casualty figures.

A very real practical value of doing this is that when future editors start to mess around with your article, you can rightfully insist that they use the same standard of documentation when they make modifications.

I think your article is a good one, but will pass along a few comments. According to the criteria for featured articles, your lead paragraph should be expanded to be three or four paragraphs in length and should effectively summarize the entire article. I probably would have called this article "Military Ballooning in the American Civil War" and included information about Confederate activities, which I understand were quite limited. (You could take a look at my recent article on Signal Corps in the American Civil War as an example.) And, of course, in-line citations. Good luck. Hal Jespersen 14:42, 6 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

One more thought: I was involved in the elevation of William Tecumseh Sherman to featured article status and the guy who supervised the article for that had to do a lot of footnoting to get past the reviewers. It is a nicely done article and you could check that out as an example. Hal Jespersen 14:52, 6 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

I'm sorry if I overlooked the OMMRR in my article, but it's not really part of the MLR. The OM&M (one man and a mule) was a small tourist attraction started by a man who had taken up a sort of residency at the Tavern. He used the OMM as a means of income to pay for his stay. He suffered from tuberculosis and the drier California climate of the time was a place for more ailing people to come.
Mr. Z., short for Zetterwall, laid one mile of rickety track along four major peaks, they all had names like John Muir Peak and Observation Peak, and his mule Herbert would push a two side-seater cart with passengers, maybe a dozen or so, down and back on the tracks from Inspiration Point.

Haggling over the Hindenburg

edit

Hello again. I certainly have some books that I can add to the references on the LZ 129 Hindenburg article in general. I don't have a lot of energy to do much more work there. The controversies surrounding the silly "incendiary paint theory" just sucks the life out of the article. The constant nonsense added by the IPT proponents is very tiresome. I think that's the main reason that the article doesn't get better over time. Regards. Blimpguy 16:26, 13 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi you were saying on the Hindenburg page that the "H on fire picture was pretty cheezy." I agree and I made that picture but anyway do you think people would like if I made a better picture of the hindenburg on fire? because that was one of the first picture I colorized but now I'm a little better at it--Pediaguy16 19:00, 18 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

No, I don't think that any of the "blimpophiles" appreciate the colorized bw's. I made some colorized bws on my website over the Mount Lowe Railway---and they are cheezy. But they helped define some otherwise unidentifiable objects in the picture. There was no real pictoral value to the colorized H pixes. Now, personally, I don't care, but you won't ever satisfy the blimpos with them. I liked the one with the parked Hindy in color, but I'm told it was colorized, and I'm not sure that's true, but it looked real good. Too good for colorizing. Make your appeal to some of the other zeppelin fans, they are the ones who pooh-poohed the colors.--Magi Media 05:59, 19 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Your disneyland edits

edit

Thank you for contributing to the disneyland page; regarding my rv's of your additions: please be aware that we've been working to minimize this already long article and have moved much of the land/attraction information that you've been trying to add to the WP pages already devoted to those items. Adventureland, for example. SpikeJones 10:57, 14 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

you said...

This article is already full of superfluous junk and is undergoing some pretty stiff criticism about its content which I think is holding it back from where it should be. Like those final lists: Disney in fiction, Disney in Music. And all that unreferenced stuff about the parks development in the 90s. My cursory parousal of this article leaves me wondering about the innovations Dusneyland has brought to theme park entertainment and which don't need to take up that much space

Completely agree with you about superfluous/duplicate items, hence the removal of your items from the primary disneyland page (just wanted you to be aware why I pulled them a 2nd time so you wouldn't be concerned). The disney in fiction/music items could be moved to other pages, but removing them completely will result in them being re-added (WP is not a fan-site, but some treat it as such). The whole history/park grows to a resort/90's section needs to be rewritten and sourced. DL *has* had an impact on where amusement parks headed in the 70's (yes, it took that long for the others to catch up). First use of themeing, the level of detail, ride innovations like steel coasters or other shows, park design, etc. All valid items to include in an encyclopedic article.SpikeJones 13:29, 14 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi,

You were the original editor of the page Mount Wilson Toll Road. It seems that a lot of the page has been copied from http://www.oldradio.com/archives/stations/LA/mtwilson2.htm which appears to be under copyright. -- IlyaHaykinson (talk) 07:37, 3 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thats My Mountain Wilson Toll Road!!!

edit

I am the original editor of the Mt. Wilson Toll Road as listed on Wikipedia. The story as it was submitted is the story I tell of the Mount Wilson Toll Road in any of my lectures on Altadena history or talk on the Mount Lowe Railway, another of my original edits. I have never heard of Old Radio.com nor of Benjamin's Mountain. If anyone is plagiarizing, they are. I find my Wikipedia articles all over tell-all web sites. And all those photos are from my collection of Altadena photos. I am a recognized Altadena historian, and that road is damned near in my back yard. It's story is somewhat relative to the story of the Mount Lowe Railway, and those accounts on WP are mine. They come from a myriad of historical tales in Altadena, some published, and some lore. I request that the original text be reinstated. Understanding that WP articles become a matter of public domain, I find it small wonder that irrefutable tales like mine might be lifted and copyrighted on another site. Thank you.--Magi Media (talk) 22:09, 9 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Photo of Devil's Gate Dam

edit

I am wondering where your photo of Devil's Gate Dam was taken. If you could please identify the location that would fantastic. I am specifically referring to this picture:


File:Devil's Gate Dam.jpg

Samafito (talk) 02:18, 13 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your interest in the photo. It was taken below the Woodbury/Arroyo roadway that crosses the dam's spillway. From the 210 freeway that passes by this very spot you can see all the sprayed stucco that was used to keep the waterway from eroding anymore. In the article look at the old photo that shows the same spot with the devil rock in its more primitive condition. Now imagine that's the area where the dam was built. This is a very early construct of an L.A. County flood control district that predates the post diluvial period of 1938. --Magi Media (talk) 04:29, 18 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

The image issues have been frustrating over the years. Speaking on behalf of the "management" let me apologize for the apparent errors of the bot. Don't worry, we'll get it straightened out. It may take me a day or two (I'm just heading out now).   Will Beback  talk  17:57, 22 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I'm not familiar with all of the procedures concerning images, but I'm working on it. I may need your help filling in source material. I assume the maps were created by you and the old photos are from your personal collection.   Will Beback  talk  04:42, 25 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
OK, it took me a couple of days to make sure I wasn't breaking some rule myself, but I've now restored the images that were deleted from the articles you listed. In each case I wrote "Source: (Altadena Historical Society) Date: prior to 1923". That should be sufficient, but if you have more precise information that'd be even better. Also, I note that a number of other files, listed on this page, have also been deleted due to missing source information. I suppose those weren't being used in any article. Should we do something about those too?   Will Beback  talk  06:26, 27 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Please consider adding citation for each paragraph. Just a ref.../ref tag at the end of every paragraph, linking them to the book it is taken from, should be fine.

Indiana Colony

edit

On February 25, 2009, the Wikipedia entry on "Indiana Colony" read as follows:

"Berry was a former teacher become journalist who also had a great interest in his brother-in-law's granary. He was also an asthmatic and the midwest weather went hard on him. He contacted Mr. Meyer J. Newmark who had recently purchased Rancho Santa Anita (Arcadia, Ca.) and was able to get pertinent information on the southland. Newmark even stopped by Indianapolis and gave a first-hand account of California to the Elliotts et al. From that meeting the Indianans formed "The California Colony of Indiana." It took little time to fill the limited roll of the organizations membership."

On May 28, 2009, the name was changed in the article from "Meyer J. Newmark" to "Harris Newmark" with the explanation that "Harris Newmark owned Rancho Santa Anita."

The sources for this article were listed as

•. ^ Kyle, Dreams of the Pioneers, published by the Pasadena Museum of History, 1983. •. ^ McCloskey. 6 Horses and 10 Head, Boys' Club of Pasadena, 1971. •. ^ Hiram Reid, Pasadena, out of print, rare book, 1895.

Would it be possible for you to check to see if it was Meyer J or Harris Newmark who had the conversation with the Indiana Colonists and who exactly stopped by in Indianapolis to see them?

March Madness 2017

edit

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:

  • tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
  • updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
  • creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other 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 military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
