Regarding your partial reversion of my edits to Filipino Veterans Fairness Act with the edit summary "Fix the format if you wish, but dont change the sources themselves)", when I found a book listed in Google Books with the same ISBN as the pre-change article gave, a book by the same authors and with a slightly-expanded version of the title used in the pre-change version of the article, I presumed that was the same source that the pre-change article was trying to reference. I used the info which Google Books has for the book with that ISBN. See this. I'll remove this article from my watchlist. -- Boracay Bill (talk) 05:37, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Regarding this, oops indeed. Fortunately, sharp-eyed user:SlimVirgin appears to have fixed this here. Thanks for pointing this out. I will try to be more careful in future. -- Boracay Bill (talk) 11:43, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

The RRAB-3 does appear to have a third arm, which would validate your assertion that its resemblance to the erect penis is coincidental to the picture. I will refrain from editing that cluster bomb article in such a way any further. 216.26.210.48 (talk) 03:24, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I thought that the bomb in Oklahoma City killed 168 people, not 165. It even says so on the Oklahoma City bombing page...
Just to let you know, this edit you reverted wasn't vandalism, but a widely circulated and exaggerated story concerning Davis' capture. He apparently grabbed his wife's raincoat mistaking it to be his own (both cut from same material, hers without sleeves) when surprised by Northern troopers. The story ballooned from there, but none of it belongs on the CSA page. Historian Shelby Foote goes into detail about his flight and capture, and this story is in his third Civil War: A Narrative book, pages 1010 and 1011. Maybe include it on Davis' own page?

The article on the movie counts with a reference leading to the real Abbé Faria, clearly from portuguese origin as we historically knows, in the article on the Count of Monte Cristo, are stated, possibly wrongly, Abbé Faria origin as italian. Two situations possible: or Abbé Faria from the book is really italian or the article linked to it, of the real Abbé Faria, seens to be out of place. See this before you just revert my contributions, ok? You seen to get the easy work done instead of the real hardship of valid research and surveillance on the Wiki articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.84.193.2 (talk) 03:03, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
The article in question is about the book, not the movie and not the real person. In the book he is clearly portrayed as an italian, in fact he is introduced in chapter thirteen, entitled "An Italian Scholar." I resent the implication that I am the one that does not do my research, I have read the BOOK itself. Watching movies is not research. I reverted your edit because my research showed that YOU were wrong. Don't accuse others of not doing research until you have done some actual research of your own.

The Serial killer also known as 'The Southside Strangler' was indeed found guilty of the murder of Diane Cho. An archived article at the Richmond Times-Dispatch website dated May 13th says so
The headline- CHESTERFIELD JURY CONVICTS SPENCER OF CHO MURDER.
Reads- [Timothy Wilson Spencer] was convicted of capital murder for strangling Debbie Dudley Davis, 35 and Dr. Susan Elizabeth Hellams, 32, both South Side residents, and Diane Cho, 15, a Manchester High School sophomore. All the deaths occurred during Spencer's stay at a halfway house on Porter Street in South Richmond.
Spencer was arrested in Richmond in January 1988. His murder trials began with the Arlington trial last summer. The final trial, for Miss Cho's death, ended in Chesterfield County May 12.
That's just an excerpt from the above link. These twenty year old stories are in a paid archive. I think this is sufficient proof to say Timothy Spencer was found guilty in Diane Cho's murder.
I think the mistake isn't your fault, but rather the source you are using. Reviews at Amazon of The Encyclopedia of Serial Killers says the book has numerous inaccuracies. Having no copy of the book, I can't say if this true or not.- Bill —Preceding unsigned comment added by WilliamJE (talk • contribs) 22:33, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
As he said, my source is incomplete, and I don't have access to the paid archive, thank you fr this new information. F-451 (talk) 03:37, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
In my view, your on-point comments about the Kusnetzov class aircraft carriers were undervalued and too quickly dismissed at Talk:Hyūga class helicopter destroyer#Article name. In part, this explains why I'm contacting you now. I wonder if you might be willing to suggest ways to edit my writing to make it more succinct, less wordy -- more effective?

As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. - Trevor MacInnis contribs 00:21, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:
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 scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.
