==Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft ↗==
Thanks for signing up for this project. It is a very busy and active project with lots going on and we can always use more help and especially a fresh set of eyes. If you haven't done so already you might want to add Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft ↗ to your watch list as this is where much of the background discussion occurs. You may also want to watch Wikipedia:New articles (Aircraft) ↗ as this is where newly created articles get listed for peer review. Having a look over these new articles is a great way to get a feel for how things are done on the project and also most new articles need reviewing anyway. If you have any questions you can leave me a note or post at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft ↗, either way you will get a quick response. - Ahunt (talk) 23:49, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

WikiProject Military History introduction

<div class="plainlinks" style="margin: 0.5em; border: 2px lightsteelblue solid; background: whitesmoke; padding: 1em;" >
right|48px| ↗
Hello and welcome to the Military history WikiProject ↗! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

Our navigation box ↗ points to most of the useful pages within the project.

The announcement and open task box ↗ is updated very frequently. You can [{{fullurl:Template:WPMILHIST Announcements|action=watch}} watchlist it] if you are interested, or you can add it directly to your user page by copying the following: {{tl|WPMILHIST Announcements}}.

Important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page ↗; it is highly recommended that you [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history|action=watch}} watchlist it].

The project has several departments ↗, which handle article quality assessment ↗, detailed article and content review ↗, writing contests ↗, and article logistics ↗.

We have a number of task forces ↗ that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.

We've developed a set of guidelines ↗ that cover article structure and content, template use, categorization, and many other issues of interest.

If you're looking for something to work on, there are many articles that need attention ↗, as well as a number of review alerts ↗.

If you have an idea for improving the project, we have a strategy think tank ↗ that provides a dedicated forum for discussing it.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask any of the project coordinators ↗ or any other experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome, and we are looking forward to seeing you around! --Sp33dyphil ''© • © ↗'' 03:02, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Lee Navy Rifle and 6mm Lee Navy (6mm U.S.N.) Articles

Hey, thanks, I'm honored that you asked me, even though I don't have much familiarity with those! If you're a gun guy, too; you may want to join the firearms project.--'''Mike''' - '''Μολὼν λαβέ''' ↗ 18:58, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
:Hey a rifle's a rifle, you know the articles like no one else and can tell me if I'm going off-course on something. I have been contributing to firearms articles for some time (I did most of the AR-10 ↗ article), but just recently joined WP:Firearms ↗. Dellant (talk) 19:15, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
::Cool! Yeah, you're right, at least about "a rifle's a rifle". The sourcing looks good, formatted well and you have some good ones in there. Nothing jumped out at me as being "incorrect" on that article. Do you have any sources for "the second contract" and the rifles from the Battleship Maine? They sound correct to me, although I'm far from an expert on Lee's rifles. I rated the article asa "B" class, but feel it could go much higher...GA for sure and then probably Featured. Outstanding work you did on this one! I'll look at the 6mm one next. Thanks for putting in the work on these!--'''Mike''' - '''Μολὼν λαβέ''' ↗ 19:25, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
::6mm one looks good, too. We definitely need a picture, I'll go through my "round collection" tonight and see if I have one that I can photograph.--'''Mike''' - '''Μολὼν λαβέ''' ↗ 19:33, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
:::Thanks, Mike. The second contract and Battleship Maine info comes from a prior contributor, who provided no references. They used fairly precise information, so they must have been working from something, I'll see what's out there. The Marines seem to have made good use of these little-known rifles and their unusual 6mm ammunition - five shots in three seconds, and near MOA accuracy, who knew? Thanks again! Dellant (talk) 19:37, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
::::Yeah, I'll do some research on that, too. It sounds like it came from an old gun magazine article or maybe a collector's newsletter...maybe cruffler.com might have something? I have heard that about straight-pull rifles, but I never really got into those. I had a nice Schmidt-Rubin a while back, but ended up swapping it before I even got a chance to shoot it.--'''Mike''' - '''Μολὼν λαβέ''' ↗ 19:41, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
:::::According to the experts (of which I'm not BTW), though it was called the 'Straight-Pull' throughout its life, the M1895 Lee is really a cam-action with a tilting bolt (kind of like an FN FAL). One pulls the bolt UP AND back in a rocking motion to unlock the bolt and free the large wedge locking block. It's supposed to work fairly well when clean, but you have to slap the op handle smartly on the forward stroke to make sure you seat the cartridge and lock the action. Dellant (talk) 19:52, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
http://www.users.fast.net/~kragmeister/win-lee/mainlet.jpg ↗ --'''Mike''' - '''Μολὼν λαβέ''' ↗ 16:19, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
:Good job, Mike! Will you be adding that as a IMG to the Lee Rifle article, or just as a cited reference? I've never uploaded an image to Wiki.Dellant (talk) 20:57, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
::I'll look into it. I've uploaded pics before, but I'm not sure if this is considered public domain or not. It's the only thing I found on the ''Maine'' salvage.--'''Mike''' - '''Μολὼν λαβέ''' ↗ 21:00, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
:::OK. You will see in the M1895 Lee Navy article that I also found and posted some references for the Bannerman sale of the salvaged USS Maine rifles, including a web page with a close-up of one of the salvaged 6mm Lee rifles.Dellant (talk) 21:17, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
:::You're right! Sorry, I guess I found it before I saw the changes...it has all 54 rifle's serial numbers handwritten on it, too!--'''Mike''' - '''Μολὼν λαβέ''' ↗ 21:40, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Great job on Erwin Walker

Just read throught the Erwin Walker ↗ article and it was an excellent read. I had to see who did such an excellent job on the article... and it was you. Very good job. I was only going to read the lede, but ended up reading the whole thing. You have a very engaging writing style. Wikipedia is lucky to have you as a contributor. Great job. 64.40.57.170 ↗ (talk) 06:44, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Glad you liked it. It took a bit of digging to come up with the bio, but I think it was worth it in the end.Dellant (talk) 21:59, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

::Yes. I'd say a huge amount of digging. I really appreciate your efforts. It's a great article. All the best. 64.40.57.89 ↗ (talk) 06:55, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks man. Dellant (talk) 22:22, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Charles Carpenter (lieutenant colonel)

Hi, I'm a volunteer on OTRS ↗. We have a request from the author of the primary source cited in the article you submitted in 2011, Charles Carpenter (lieutenant colonel) ↗, to take the article down due to copyright infringement. Apparently that article is too close to the original (even if you paraphrased, too-close paraphrasing still qualifies as infringement, as I know from my own experience when I wrote an article that had a sentence too close to the source). The author also claims the sources cited are the same as those cited in the original.

I am unable to verify the situation properly because nearly all of the sources aren't available online. To protect the Wikimedia Foundation from copyright infringement claims, the article will have to be removed, but I wanted to give you a chance to respond. ~Amatulić <small>(talk)</small> 08:49, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

::Without knowing which source (I assume you mean secondary source material) it's hard to give any kind of response. Which source? Which sentences? I've since edited out all contemporary secondary source material, see what you think. Most of the information was obtained online from a variety of independent sources including sites reprinting old magazine articles among other things. I've no objection to removing material but why remove an entire article on a deceased historical figure? Dellant (talk) 15:21, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

:::I should have used the phrase "source most cited in the article" rather than "primary source". It was originally the first one. The author of that source viewed the entire article as infringing without being specific about which passages.

:::I didn't want the article deleted either, but without access to the sources I was unable to revise the article myself. I see you worked hard on it earlier today, and the source under contention no longer appears. I believe that will satisfy the copyvio concerns. Thanks! ~Amatulić <small>(talk)</small> 17:18, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Draft:Gispert (cigar) ↗ concern

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Gispert (cigar) ↗, a page you created, has not been edited in 6 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication ↗ of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13 ↗.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:30, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Gispert (cigar) ↗

48px|left|alt=|link= ↗

Hello, Dellant. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC ↗ draft article submission, entitled "Gispert ↗".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply {{edit|Draft:Gispert (cigar)|edit the submission}} and remove the {{tlc|db-afc}} or {{tlc|db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace ↗.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by one of two methods (don't do both): 1) follow the instructions at WP:REFUND/G13 ↗, ''or'' 2) copy this code: <code><nowiki>{{subst:Refund/G13|</nowiki>Draft:Gispert (cigar)<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>, paste it in the edit box at <span class="plainlinks">this link ↗</span>, and click "Save page". An administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing.  HasteurBot (talk) 10:00, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :Sancho Panza (brand) ↗

A tag has been placed on :Sancho Panza (brand) ↗, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam ↗ and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations ↗ for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by visiting the page ↗ and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines ↗. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive

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:

tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope

adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages

updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages

creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.
