You appear to have exceeded WP:3RR on Template:ISAF troop deployment and International Security Assistance Force. While you treated it as vandalism, the reverts being made to these pages would not meet a 3RR exemption of "obvious vandalism". I have blocked 190.10.0.121 (talk · contribs) for persistent edit warring, the IPs 4th block for doing this. Given the circumstances, with this IP address having a long history of disruption, I do not think any further action would be helpful in this instance. Camaron · Christopher · talk 11:43, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
I appreciate your efforts towarding keeping the ISAF article accurate and free of vandalism. I have a feeling there is some miscommunication with the user (190.10.0.121) who seems to be creating vandalism right now. I like to assume good faith WP:GOODFAITH and I am hoping the vandalism may be based on some misunderstanding. Anyway, it looks like we may have an edit war WP:EW on the ISAF article right now. It appears the user (190.10.0.121) has been editing Wikipedia since 2006, however, usually they leave no comments and never use article discussions. One time I was able to get this user (190.10.0.121) to leave a web page reference as a comment by imbedding a comment right next the entry that they kept editing. I was able to convert their comment into a reference. If we could get a discussion going on the ISAF discussion page then I believe it would be easy to find a consensus. Hope this helps.

Thanks for uploading File:Abandoned Chinese positions Korea Oct 1951 (AWM HOBJ2502).jpg.

If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

Thanks for your updates to this article. I intend to start work on comprehensively updating it this weekend - much of its content is now outdated (some by about three years!). Nick-D (talk) 22:44, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi mate, I'm trying to reference the Kokoda Track campaign article. I've added quite a few citations to it, however, it still requires more to get it to B class in my opinion. I've added the citation needed tags to where I think they're needed but for which I haven't found anything yet. If you are keen to help out, I think that you have the Brune book which might be useful. Also, I've done a bit of reworking of the sections, so if you wouldn't mind reading through it now and seeing if it still makes sense, I'd appreciate it too. There are a few other issues too, as I see it: (1) the lead doesn't adequately summarise the article, (2) there is inconsistency in the citation/referencing style, (3) images could do with having alt text added. Any help with these would also be greatly appreciated. Cheers. — AustralianRupert (talk) 15:44, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
Howdy. With the exception of the endash and the one sentence paragraphs, I don't see the advantages of your edit. Can I bother you to enlighten me please? Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 01:14, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
I added some info to this article. I will be adding more in the future but I think its ready for B but let me know if you need any more changes.--Kumioko (talk) 18:04, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
Zeng Siyu is the 64th Field Army commander, the one who is in charge of the Maryang San defense. I find it hard to add Peng Dehuai because he did not issue a single order during the battle. Jim101 (talk) 02:37, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

I am confused over whether I should take the not done template for my comment to mean that my suggest was not done because there was no need for it or not done because you are still looking into the matter. I'm prepared to offer my support for the ACR; however the red X is in this case ambiguous - it could mean one of two radically opposite possibilities, and I would like your personal clarification before I award a stamp of approval to the ACR. TomStar81 (Talk) 05:43, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
That tag is used to indicate that the notes aren't referenced in the text. Also, those references are generally linked to the corresponding notes. I did not see any such links, so I used the ((no footnotes)) tag. BTW, I was impressed by your article. It is a much better article than most of those I come across while patrolling new pages.

The Military history A-Class medal | ||
For prolific work on Operation Coburg, Battle of Bita Paka, and First Battle of Maryang San, promoted to A-Class between October 2009 and February 2010, you are hereby awarded the A-Class Medal. Thanks for your exceptional work, we look forward to more high-quality articles in the future! Parsecboy (talk) 02:25, 14 February 2010 (UTC) |
Well done. I don't know if you have thought about it, but you should consider taking some of these to WP:FAC sometime YellowMonkey (vote in the Southern Stars photo poll) 06:22, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
Please do not do this again. Not only do some project not use A class, but you also removed the GA information from articles that remain GA (GA and A coexist). If the projects want to use A, then their editors can reassess the article. -MBK004 03:12, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi, mate. One for your last hurrah before you head off perhaps? I've done a small amount of work on Torres Strait Light Infantry Battalion, just adding some sources, infobox etc. I don't have any paper sources for it, though, but feel it would benefit from the addition of at least one book. I was wondering if if you might have anything that discusses this unit? — AustralianRupert (talk) 14:54, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:An Australian Sapper Cu Chi South Vietnam 1966 (AWM KEL660021VN).jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Regarding your edit and comment repetitive, I don't agree. Yes, they are about the same topic, but they address different aspects of the topic, so it appears to me that there is no repetition. What do you think? Pdfpdf (talk) 04:27, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your attention to copyediting. The reason I left the hyphen alone in the infobox when I copyedited was per the sentence just before WP:DASH: "Hyphenation involves many subtleties that cannot be covered here; the rules and examples presented above illustrate the broad principles that inform current usage." One of the exceptions that's been mentioned often is in infoboxes, tables, and in general where the font is smaller. I don't have any problem with your edit, but it also looked fine the way it was to me. - Dank (push to talk) 13:13, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
Just an FYI...it wasn't a duplicate post: the separate posts for Task Force Oz and Task Force NZ were both moved in during the ANZSP merging/creation/thingie. Either way, they're both irrelevant now, and I've archived everything thats pre-merge. -- saberwyn 02:39, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
I'm puzzled by one of your edits. What were you thinking here? The coordinates themselves seem fine, but the region (VN) is Vietnam whereas the coordinates are in Romania. Best regards,--Stepheng3 (talk) 02:33, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

A large proportion of the background for many of the Australian regimental articles I've contributed to comes from the Digger History website - there is a page for each of the state regiments, with the RSAR page being found here. Hope that helps. Hammersfan 09/06/10, 11.02 BST
Thank you for uploading File:16th Hunter River Lancers.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
Because you used a fair use rationale with your upload, the recommended copyright tag is ((non-free logo)). Please add this to the image and remove the speedy delete template (((di-no license))).
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

Thanks for assessing the Battle of Orbaitzeta. I understand that assessment is a truly thankless job and I've only rated two articles so far. I see that you felt that the article fell short on "coverage and accuracy". Is it because it's such a short article (c. 6,000 bytes)? All I had were the two sources. Did you see the campaign map that I added on 13 June? My latest project has been War of the Pyrenees and most of my recent articles are on that subject. Anyway, please let me know what I can do to boost the article to B-Class (short of finding a copy of R. W. Phipps' Armies of the First French Republic...). Thanks. Djmaschek (talk) 02:21, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi Djmaschek. Sorry for the slow response, but I have now reassessed the article as B class following your addition of the ref and in light of your comments above re sources. If there is nothing further available I'm happy with that. I would suggest that you don't using modern rank abbreviations and that instead you write the ranks in full though. Cheers. Anotherclown (talk) 16:33, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
Regarding your addition to the Operation Slipper article in regards to the recent helicopter crash, what source identifies the helicopter in the crash? The sources currently cited don't specify, and I haven't come across anything that does. -- saberwyn 23:03, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

I didn't realize you had just made the edit or I would have asked. The article is AmEng, and Webster's NWD doesn't list "calibre", I believe that's BritEng (and every other Eng, heh). (Watching) - Dank (push to talk) 03:30, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
