Hi, 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 watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPMILHIST Announcements}} there.
• Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
• The project has several departments, which handle
  peer review, and project-wide collaboration
  .
• We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
• Our
  requests page
  has extensive lists of requested articles, images, maps, and translations.
• We've developed a variety of guidelines for article structure and content, template use, categorization, and other issues that you may find useful.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lokshin 03:49, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to let you know that I reverted your reversion, as Italy operates 4 KC-135s, pending the arrival of the new KC-767s. I've also added a citation documenting that. Akradecki 06:37, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's an interesting experience going on over at

Some time ago, WikiProject California members had placed their project tags on all articles about California cities. Those tags have been in place for some time. Recently certain members of WikiProject Southern California, after discussion on that project's talk page (only), decided to remove the WikiProject California tags for (almost all) Southern California cities, and replace the tags with WikiProject Southern California tags - only.

That is, the WikiProject Southern California members didn't simply add the WikiProject Southern California tag to Southern California cities, the WikiProject California tags were completely removed. This was done apparently without consultation with the WikiProject California members.

We are gathering responses to the following questions on those projects' talk pages:

• Do you have a view whether the WikiProject California tag should be removed from a large number of cities in Southern California?

• Do you have a view whether city article for Southern California cities should have more than one WikiProject tag?

Please let us know if you have a view! Spamreporter1 15:55, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

yo, whats up dude. sorry if i caused any problems with my vandalism. Just having some fun. Anyway see you. --WarAdamEarl 23:17, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

He left the same message on my talk page, and I don't buy it. The changes made during the vandalism spree were deliberately sneaky, with legit looking edit summaries that had nothing whatsoever to do with the edits made. An attempt to cover tracks. - Pod Bay Door 23:21, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also reported ME for vandalism, after I reverted many sneaky nonsense edits he was making. - Pod Bay Door 23:31, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your comment is very patronizing in its tone. Superlatives are superlatives, and deserve scrutiny since a Neutral Point of View is a pillar of Wikipedia, you should be able to cite a statement that someone is THE FOREMOST 'insert-whatever-claim-here'. You didn't say "among the foremost", but "THE formost". You don't understand the difference, apparently. If you can't find any citations for such statements (how hard can it be?), how does the average reader who happens to read the article KNOW it's true or not? That's not encyclopedic, and I stand by the edits I made. Just to be clear, you don't own that article. - Itsfullofstars 21:13, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, but it can be irritating to see ininformed comments by individuals who are not privy to the goings-on in the very small world of lutes, naturally never covered by any media. You simply will not find any citations on the subject of Lutenistic Quality. So you should legitimately accept as axiomatic that there is no one better than Barto in Weiss. He actually is the greatest living lutenist, but we cannot say it in Wiki, and what I wrote is a half-measure.Galassi 21:34, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. Now that I've had time to think things over, I'll remove my citation tag, if it's still there. Cheers, - Itsfullofstars 23:03, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Most of RB's CD's are in print. You should get a few, so could "get with it" [;-)Galassi 23:15, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's good that you found and reverted the edits...but #1 on the instructions for that page says, "Before listing a vandal here make sure that: The vandal is active now, has received a proper set of warnings, and has vandalized after a recent last warning, except in unusual circumstances."

Active now? Nope. No edits in the last hour.

Received a proper set of warnings? Nope. Never received a last warning.

Vandalized after a recent last warning? Nope. Again, never received a last warning.

It seems like that page has been getting many more reports lately for vandals that don't meet what's been asked for in the instructions. When they need to look into each of them, it slows down the ability for admins to block the people who are actually currently vandalizing. --Onorem 18:17, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The vandals know how to the game the broken system, and good faith editors who find the vandalisms are running out of patience with the process that bends over backwards in the vandal's favor. Final warning, you say? So what if I typed two uw-vandalism3's instead of one 3 and then a 4. You may be getting more reports like mine because we want to report what we find, when we find it, regardless of these silly, arbitrary short time limits that only serve to make the vandals harder to stop. Fix the system and stop faulting the vandal fixers for trying to save Wikipedia from a slander lawsuit. I think it's time to go on a Wikibreak. Cheers, - Itsfullofstars 18:26, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not an admin. I want to clear that up after seeing your edit summary when you changed your warnings.

As for the rest...you got your block...so oh well. I don't think it's right, and I don't think multiple warnings should be given all at once. It doesn't make sense for how the system is supposed to function. --Onorem 18:33, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I had a few months of fun of editing here and trying my best to be a contributor to Wikipedia, but I'm tired of dealing with vandals and policies that coddle them. - Itsfullofstars 18:31, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article on PAL has certainly benefitted from your work. Have asked another experienced wikipedian to re-assess the article. Will see if I can add anything useful to the page from my reference books. Best wishes RuthAS (talk) 14:28, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Have finished adding material now. Three of my reference books quote 6 March 1958 for date of name change to PAL, so have used this in the article. RuthAS (talk) 15:43, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am now proud owner of a TUSC account!

Thanks for your kind words regarding my update to {{AIP FR}}. When I first created that template, along with the {{AIP AU}}, {{AIP NL}}, {{FAA-diagram}} and {{FAA-procedures}} templates, the goal was to be able to place a link in an airport article that would work after the URL changed. However, that did rely on someone updating the templates every 28 days (or 4 times a year for Australia). Now that I've got the French AIP link automated, I plan to implement similar code in the other templates. -- Zyxw (talk) 15:23, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! I think that events like this one should not be forgotten. I've been trying to find some air disasters that either need a little help fleshing out the narratives, or don't have articles all. --Itsfullofstars (talk) 17:45, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I noticed you've recently made some edits at List of accidents and incidents involving airliners in the United States and was wondering if you could join in a discussion on the article's talk page about possibility of switching from list form to sortable-table form. --Mû??â?û?â?û 00:45, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page .

Thanks from me and the wiki Victuallers (talk) 05:14, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. I noticed in your edit summaries of Flying Tiger Line Flight 739 you mentioned that you were planning on expanding that article. Just though I'd let you know that I went ahead and expanded it, but there's still some blatant holes in the "investigation" section (ie: how long did it take for the search to get called off?) Didn't mean to go stepping on your toes. ^_^ Cheers! --Mû??â?û?â?û 00:38, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No toes stepped on, I assure you! I'm not sure when I would have gotten around to using those newspaper articles I had found to expand the article... I definitely hadn't begun to tackle it, so your initiative was very helpful. Thanks to you the article just got bumped up to B-Class. Great work! --Itsfullofstars (talk) 07:05, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just dropping a line to let you know (in case you were interested) that Flying Tiger Line Flight 739 just passed a GA review. I've noticed that I keep running into you on old airliner accident articles. Would you be interested in a collaboration in trying to get Flight 739 to FA status sometime during December? --Mû??â?û?â?û 09:28, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well done on getting the GA. I'm willing to help. I'm going to take a look at aviation-related FA articles to get a feel for what might be involved, because I'm unsure what it will take to get to FA. I'm a bit concerned we've pretty much exhausted the available online sources. There used to be a website dedicated to the flight but it seems to just consist of a single home page now, with dead links to the sub-pages. --Itsfullofstars (talk) 20:19, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just now noticed that you installed my UAL DC-6 photo into the info boxes of UAL flights 608 & 624. Both look good. Thanks much----a fellow Californian. EditorASC (talk) 12:27, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

Pacific Air Lines

Hi, I just read the article on Pacific Air Lines (Southwest Airways). I have a couple of things to say, but don't have citations so I did not want to edit the article. My father was one of the flight instructors during WWII at the 3 bases in Arizona and then went on to be a pilot with Southwest, then Pacific, then Airwest, then Hughes Airwest before he retired. What I am contributing is my memory of things my Dad & Mom told me.

The Merger - I was told at the time that the merger was between Pacific, Bonanza and Northwest. I was also told that there were 2 airlines at that time with the name of Northwest. The regional airline that was part of the merger was Northwest. The other one was known at that time as Northwest Orient. At some point after the merger Northwest Orient dropped the word Orient from their name and started just using Northwest.

The Move & Name Change - The move from Phoenix to San Francisco appears to have happened sometime in the late 1940s. My parents were already living in Redwood City, CA as of April of 1950. As to the name change from Southwest to Pacific, I don't know the date, but I was told later that it was because the name Pacific represented the area they serviced at that time better then the name Southwest did.

Flight 773 - Up until soon after the investigation into this crash you could buy flight insurance at the airports out of vending machines. I was told that this crash was a major contributing factor in getting those machines banned. After that, while you could still buy flight insurance at the airport, it had to be sold by a human who was supposed to be trained in distinguishing who should be allowed to buy the insurance and who could be dangerous if allowed to buy flight insurance.

Thank you again and I hope I have sent this note correctly and not messed something up.

Correction to previous election announcement

Just a quick correction to the prior message about the 2022 MILHIST coordinator election! I (Hog Farm) didn't proofread the message well enough and left out a link to the election page itself in this message. The voting will occur here; sorry about the need for a second message and the inadvertent omission from the prior one. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:41, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
