Disambiguation link notification for June 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Bank of England £100,000,000 note ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Scottish ↗ ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Bank_of_England_%C2%A3100%2C000%2C000_note check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Bank_of_England_%C2%A3100%2C000%2C000_note?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)</small>

Hello '''{{BASEPAGENAME}}''' 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 would like to receive the project's monthly newsletter, ''The Bugle ↗'', please sign up here.

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! Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me ↗) 22:07, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

March Madness 2020

G'day all, '''March Madness 2020 ↗''' is about to get underway, and there is bling aplenty for those who want to get stuck into the backlog by way of tagging, assessing, updating, adding or improving resources and creating articles. If you haven't already signed up to participate, why not? The more the merrier! Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me ↗) 08:19, 29 February 2020 (UTC) for the coord team


:Hi BEiE. You seem to be off to a flying start to this, and should be in line for some classy bling if you keep it up. Just a reminder: when you assess one of the previously bot-assessed articles could you remember to delete it from the list? To prevent another editor reassessing the same article. This applies whether you reckon that it meets the B class criteria or not. Thanks. Gog the Mild (talk) 20:53, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

::Thanks for reminding me, I was under the impression that they were categorised as bot-assessed and would leave the category automatically when assessed by a user. I've since deleted them from the list and will do so from now on when I assess more. TheBestEditorInEngland (talk) 21:29, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Evgeny Belyaev ↗

I have no idea where ANZSP came from. I am having difficulty making the assessment work with that template. I want to assess it at C, but everything I do shows as Start class. So I just copied a random format from somewhere and that showed as B, which I didn't want either. If you can demonstrate a C-class assessed template, I'll copy that. Thanks for noticing! Storye book (talk) 23:04, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
: {{reply to|Storye book}} As far as I know C class doesn't have an assessment template, it's just added like with stub class or start class, I believe B class is the first class which uses the assessment template since it's the first class which is required to be peer-reviewed before being able to be acknowledged as such. I've tried changing the class to C class but that makes the article think it's a start class and automatically adds the B class template... I'm by no means an experienced reviewer and having never come across this before and think it would be best to ask for help in the MilHist talk page as people there would have a better idea as to what's gone on and how to fix it. Regards, TheBestEditorInEngland (talk) 23:29, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
:: Thank you. I know that some project banner templates don't have provision for a class C parameter, so maybe that's the problem. I shall ask. Storye book (talk) 10:52, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
