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.
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.

Skylab 4 newspaper articles
Hi, Ian, I saw your offer of access to newspaper articles, and I wonder if you could help me. I'm looking for articles about Skylab 3/4 (the third visit) between November 16, 1973 and February 10, 1974 from the Houston Chronicle, Orlando Sentinel, or Huntsville Times. There is probably one (possibly more) a day from each of those sources. I have access to NYT, so I've seen all those, and they mostly ran the AP reports, though there was one Reuters article. Especially interesting days are December 25 to 31, January 4, and February 8-9 (splashdown coverage). The whole of December is the next priority. All this is to gather specific information about the workload challenges faced by the crew, and coverage of their day off on December 26 or 28, plus the conversations surrounding workload. -- ke4roh (talk) 16:23, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello :) I am writing my MA dissertation on Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict, and I noticed that you have contributed to those pages. My dissertation will look at the process of collaborative knowledge production on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the effect it has on bias in the articles. This will involve understanding the profiles and motivations of editors, contention/controversy and dispute resolution in the talk pages, and bias in the final article.
For more information, you can check out my meta-wiki research page or my user page, where I will be posting my findings when I am done.
I would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to fill out this quick survey before 8 August 2021.
Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous. There are no foreseeable risks nor benefits to you associated with this project.
