"Will in China"

Remember how you said Ekky's friend User:Will in China from Tor was long gone, or stale from way back? That turns out not to be the case.

I also see some odd behavior from IPs starting with 86, some but not all starting 86.69.135. Dan (talk) 01:33, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

So where is he? YellowMonkey (click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model!) 00:58, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Well, probably Tor (anonymity network), but if you meant here then he's on Thelema and related articles. He just restored one of Ekky's edits again, at Heru-ra-ha. Dan (talk) 03:58, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Keith Johnson

I think what you've done with this rather obscure (and slightly smarmy-sounding) chap is brilliant. As ever. On a related topic, what in your view now needs to be done to the main Australian cricket team in England in 1948 article to raise that to a higher standard? I keep thinking I'm going to get more time to be helpful, but then it disappears under RL workload again. But that's one of the ones that I could perhaps be tinkering with in the spare moments.

Re:Yousaf

RFA??? He!He! That's funny, indeed! He's gonna repent a lot for making such a decision.-The Enforcer_{Office of the secret service} 07:38, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Well he's given himself a barnstar, and I then thought things couldn't even get more bizarre. Aaroncrick^{(Tassie Boy talk)} 09:47, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

I think I misunderstood the message. He hasn't gone for RfA yet. Yeah, I saw that barnstar. Looks funny, indeed! Maybe, this is an extreme case of exercising ownership over one's userpage.-The Enforcer_{Office of the secret service} 16:00, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Well if he is going to spend time on politics, saves everyone else from having to revert his POV pushing. YellowMonkey (click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model!) 01:22, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Decrement?

I just noticed this, which removed Premiere (The O.C.) from the list along with a number of other FAs. It was promoted by Sandy a few days ago, but your edit summary said something about "decrement". Has there been something to cause it to re-evaluated. If so, as the primary editor and nominator, it would have been nice to be kept in the loop. Rambo's Revenge (How am I doing?) 10:20, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't know how I managed to chop all that off!! YellowMonkey (click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model!) 01:22, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

That is quite alright. Also (I could be wrong) but I think the tally needs updating too as it went down but not back up. Best wishes and a belated congratulations on your appointment, Rambo's Revenge (How am I doing?) 14:35, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Amdo

Hi, I see you reverted my changes to the Amdo page. I am currently trying to research this subject more and I think that the whole article needs an overhaul, hence I tried to break up the history sections to make it easier to research time periods and removed the section which was actually about the history of Qinghai. I have noted all this in the discussion pages. Are you interested in researching this topic also? --Anythingpossible (talk) 07:53, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Not really, no. YellowMonkey (click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model!) 00:58, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Vietnam

Great I'm steadily ploughing through adding pop and references for the moment. I've got us a new pin location map for Vietnam -out with the old CIA map. I'll gradually make us district locator maps too. If you could gradually work through them and remove the translation tags once done this would be great.

FAR closures

Just as an FYI I usually try to close FARCs only on Tuesdays and Saturdays. The reasoning for this is that the Gimmetrow bot which archives the FARs and updates the articles (removing FA star, updating talk page templates, etc) only runs on those days. Sandy also follows this schedule on FACs. Joelito (talk) 20:10, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Reg. Sock case

In [1], you have added that from past data Ravichandar84 is unrelated to other users. Could you elaborate on this? Apart from Wiki_Raja, has a check user or a sock case ever filed against the other users? ShivNarayanan (talk) 01:00, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

No, but in previously chacking other vandals on the various ranges, some of the established users came up, and not together with Ravichandar. YellowMonkey (click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model!) 02:52, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks a lot! It seems too stupid. I have been here for 3 years and I've contributed a fair number of articles to the project. I had earlier tagged Kallar article for lack of references. But when User:Tamilvendan contacted me in my talkpage and expressed his willingness to cooperate in cleaning the article, I removed the tag assuming good faith. I visited Talk:Kallar and expressed my opinion on the necessity of more sources and awarded a barnstar to User:ShivNarayanan for insisting on reliable sources for the article. This was way back in early March. Since then, I haven't made any edits to the article or talkpage. Yesterday, I suddenly found a message from User:ShivNarayanan saying that he did not want my barnstar. When I investigated, I found that User:Shivnarayanan had, all of a sudden, deleted the barnstar from his talkpage and had filed an RFCU against me. He has also been responsible for such ridiculous behaviour in the past. I do not know if this is some kind of publicity stunt! But I had not able to sleep the whole night. You see, the range 59.*.*.* is provided by Indian government-owned BSNL Broadband connection and more than half of India's internet population uses a BSNL connection.-The Enforcer_{Office of the secret service} 02:43, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

I should make Checkusers conditional on people voting in the photo poll :) YellowMonkey (click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model!) 03:34, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

It may not be Bake, but User:ShivNarayanan appears to be a single purpose account most of whose edits (I guess it should be about 90%) have been to caste-related articles. He has 1000-odd edits and his not6ed contributions to this project has been to start ridiculous RFCUs every now and then. He had earlier started an RFCU against User:Sureshmaran and now, me. There has also been frequent assumption of bad faith by him that I doubt if he is here to contribute anything constructive.-The Enforcer_{Office of the secret service} 11:01, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Ah, well that doesn;t fall under socking of course. If he is abusing the article he can be dealt with normally. YellowMonkey (cricket calendar poll!) 01:45, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Battle of Tippecanoe

Hello, Battle of Tippecanoe, an article I recently placed for an A class review was supported by three editors to receive A class status. I am not a member of MilHist and unfamiliar with the the procedure - can I now give the article a MilHist A class rating, or is there a formal process for this that will occur? Any help would be appreciated. :) Charles Edward (Talk) 00:56, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

The Military history WikiProject Newsletter : Issue XXXVII (March 2009)

The Military history WikiProject Newsletter Issue XXXVII (March 2009)
From the coordinators The big news of course was the seventh project coordinator election covering the period ending 30 September. The quality of the candidates was extremely high, with some of the project's top content builders running alongside highly experienced backroom people. Of the eighteen candidates, sixteen were finally appointed, giving us probably the most rounded coordination team so far. Those elected were: Abraham, B.S., Bellhalla, Cam, Eurocopter, EyeSerene, Ian Rose, Jackyd101, Joe N, Lordoliver, Maralia, MBK004, Nick-D, Roger Davies (lead), Skinny87, The ed17 and TomStar81. Kirill Lokshin continues in his role as coordinator emeritus. Thanks must go to the departing coordinators – Bedford, JonCatalán and Woody – for helping make the project what it is today The C-class referendum, held at the same time, produced a slight majority of votes for introduction, but was insufficient to demonstrate a clear consensus. So, for the time being at least, therefore, the project will continue without C-class. Otherwise, focus is likely be on the Academy and the development of courses to develop reviewing, copy-editing and article-building skills. Some review of our task forces is also probable, perhaps consolidating some of the smaller, quieter, ones. As ever, input from everyone is not only welcomed but positively encouraged. The coordinators' gratitude goes not only to those who participated in the election and referenda but also to everyone who works quietly and conscientiously away to make participation in this project rewarding, successful and productive. Milhist is very fortunate in its membership! Thank you all,  Roger Davies talk 16:15, 2 April 2009 (UTC)	Articles of note New featured articles: Byzantine navy Falaise Pocket Frank Hubert McNamara Heinrich Bär Juan Davis Bradburn Operation Cobra Port Chicago disaster SM U-66 SMS Moltke (1910) Surrender of Japan Tom Derrick William Henry Harrison New featured lists: List of United States Naval Academy alumni List of United States Naval Academy alumni (astronauts) List of United States Naval Academy alumni (Chiefs of Naval Operations) List of United States Naval Academy alumni (legislators) New featured pictures: USS Texas (1892) New A-Class articles: 1964 Brinks Hotel bombing Ba Cut Battle of Artemisium Battle of Fort Washington Battle of Morotai Battle of Tippecanoe Battle of Vimy Ridge Battle of Wau Design 1047 battlecruiser Fountain of Time Frank Horton Berryman Gia Long Henry Wells (general) Hill 262 Hue chemical attacks Japanese battleship Haruna Jon Burge Nassau class battleship Operation Freshman SM UB-43 SM UB-45 Stanley Savige Xa Loi Pagoda raids
Project news With 12 entrants working on 63 articles, March was another good month for our article improvement contest, entering in April its third year of operation. The coveted Chevrons go to Bellhalla for his outstanding 127 points, with YellowMonkey bagging the Writer's Barnstar for his highly commendable 65 points. Lordoliver came third with a very respectable 57 points. Our thanks go to our other stalwart article builders: Abraham, B.S. (34), Parsecboy (31), Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus (17), Cam (15), Ian Rose (12), David Underdown (12), the ed17 (10), Backslash Forwardslash (6), and Wild Wolf (1). Three articles in the project's scope appeared on the Main Page as today's featured article this month: Lazare Ponticelli (12 March), 1960 South Vietnamese coup attempt (17 March) and Operation Varsity (24 March).
Awards and honors Bellhalla has been awarded the Milhist A-Class medal with Oak Leaves for three ship articles: SM U-66, SM UB-45, and SM UB-43. Hawkeye7 has been awarded the Milhist A-Class medal for Battle of Sio, Sydney Rowell, and Battle of Wau. Parsecboy has been awarded the Milhist A-Class medal for SMS Von der Tann, SMS Moltke (1910) and Nassau-class battleship. Skinny87 has been awarded the Milhist A-Class medal for 13th Airborne Division (United States), Tetrarch (tank), and Operation Freshman. TonyTheTiger has been awarded the Milhist A-Class medal for Willie Gillis, Jon Burge, and Fountain of Time.
