Image tagging for Image:Rost van Tonningen, circa 1940.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Rost van Tonningen, circa 1940.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
Hi there. I saw, that you translated parts of the German James M. Gavin article and hope, that you are interested in him. I have much text on him, the only problem is that images are missing to illustrate the text. I mailed some authors, his wife and some others, but I didn't get useful answers or sources where to find free images. I found a collection at http://www.carlisle.army.mil/usamhi/ (Research Catalogs → fill in "James M. Gavin" → several hits, e.g. "photograph collection"). The Army Heritage & Education Center is located at 950 Soldiers Drive, Carlisle, PA 17013-5021. I would order the stuff but the only way to receive it is to take a look at Carlisle for it, which is impossible for me (sitting here in Germany). It would be great if you could go there, or find someone else to do it and to ask, wheather the stuff is in the PD or the GNU FDL (a call would be usefull as well). I don’t know the USA that well and I think that it’s probably better if an inhabitant like you could help out there a bit. If you have an idea, where to search elsewhere and tell it to me, or find some images yourself and upload them, it would be great as well. It would be even ok for me, if you find someone else to do the research. I did my best and didn’t find any useful help at the image-search (even not here on en.wikipedia). I hope that you’ll help and have luck. Btw.: You seem to be interessted in military history. I’d like you to participate at Meta:Imperialism and world wars, if you want to. Would be great as well. So – I wrote enough now ;). Regards and best wishes from Hamburg, Germany, John N. 14:23, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi John
Thanks for your message. Unfortunately, i'm in the Netherlands which is a bit closer to Carlisle, PA than you are but is still too far away from a visit :) I've joined your project though. My interest is in military history (WWII especially) and since I'm a Dutchman my language skills are in English, German, French and Dutch, and translation is a hobby of mine. Hope to be able to contribute to your project as well.MarcoLittel 16:09, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Upps :). But thanks for you're help on the translation and the participating at the international project. Btw.: How good are you're german skills? Regards from Hamburg, John N. 18:10, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
PS: If you're able to join the Wikipedia:Chat you can find "us" at #Imperialismus. -- John N. 18:12, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
PS²: It would be great, if you could translate the messages from the project into dutch. -- John N. 18:15, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hey John, My german language skills are fair. I can understand what is being said in the German texts, and I can translate it into english and dutch. No german speaker myself, so expect no german prose from me :) MarcoLittel 12:01, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Contribution
Hello. I am currently trying to contribute to a battle in respect to giving a reason why a Viking force had to withdraw from a native attack, which I think was instrumental to the article itself and since the person in question received her place in history for that act. Its my understanding that Wikipedia is meant for contributions, but the people at that region see fit to leave the situation vague. They have told me that I cannot simply copy and past from references and, in short order, I re-wrote the small addition
in my own words. I don't see what the problem here is, however, they simply revert my edits and give me vague conclusion to why they have done so. The site is intended to be used for non-commercial reproduction so we have no problems in copyright infringement. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

This message was sent as a courtesy reminder to all active members of the Military History WikiProject.
G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:
tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other 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 military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

Nominations for both awards are open between 00:01 on 2 December 2017 and 23:59 on 15 December 2017. After this, a 14-day voting period will follow commencing at 00:01 on 16 December 2017.
