Military history WikiProject Newsletter, Issue I

The Military history WikiProject Newsletter
Issue I - March 2006
Project news
  • An independent
    military history peer review
    has been created for the benefit of the project. A number of articles have already been reviewed, receiving significantly more feedback within the project than they did on the generic peer review page.
  • The project's Collaboration of the Fortnight got off to a great start with Ferdinand Foch and is now focusing on the military history of Spain.
  • Two new
    Middle Ages
    —have been created.
  • An effort to build a catalogue of high-quality maps for use in military history articles is now underway.
  • The newly-formed translation department is looking for volunteers to help with translating featured articles from other-language Wikipedias.
From the Coordinators

Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Military history WikiProject's newsletter! We hope that this new format will help members—especially those who may be unable to keep up with some of the rapid developments that tend to occur—find new groups and programs within the project that they may wish to participate in.

Please consider this inital issue to be a prototype; as always, any comments and suggestions are quite welcome, and will help us improve the newsletter in the coming months.

Kirill Lokshin, Lead Coordinator

italian aircraft - thanks!

Spot87, thank you so much for your recent Italian WWII aircraft submissions. It's probably pretty obvious that we've not done a very good job covering italian stuff at

airtemp}} template we're using for aircraft specifications. It can make adding specs a bit easier, and updating the format much easier; there's also a place to cite references. Again, thanks and welcome! ericg 22:14, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply

Sounds good. I just discovered that any and all WWI and WWII photos taken in Italy are now public domain! Most of what you find online should be covered by {{PD-Italy}}, so if you find images that work with your articles, make use! ericg 03:48, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

citing the encyclopedia of weapons of ww2

I've gone and made a template to use when citing The Encyclopedia of Weapons of World War II. The template is {{Ref WW2}}, and it lets you add chapter and page information in the syntax {{ref WW2 | Weapon Name | 123 }}. The code is a duplicate of the template {{Ref Jane's}}, which I use frequently. Citing chapter and page makes wikipedia that much more verifiable, and it's a quick entry. Here's how it looks with some bogus info:

  1. ‘Breda Ba.65’ 1998, in C Bishop (ed.), The Encyclopedia of Weapons of World War II, Barnes & Noble, New York, p. 312. .

Leaving the fields after ref WW2 blank will output the same information you've been using to date. Thanks again for your recent contributions, I hope to be learning even more about Italian aircraft soon. :) ericg 03:28, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. If you like, you can always double-check what's in wikipedia against your source - lots of aircraft are missing citations for specifications or just missing references in general. If you back them up against a source and cite it, that's just as good as writing a new article. ericg 15:46, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

There is a consensus discussion on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft#Infobox Aicraft consensus discussion on adopting a non-specifications summary infobox for aircraft articles. Your comments would be appreciated. Thanks! - Emt147 Burninate! 18:42, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do not forget to check for alternate designations; you can either use the MPC interactive service (http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/iau/MPDes.html) or go directly to the JPL pages (http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=99 for 99 Dike, for example).

Thanks for uploading Image:CANTZ.1007.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{

File:BredaBa.65.jpg needs authorship information

Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:BredaBa.65.jpg appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

  • If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: {{subst:usernameexpand|Spot87}} will produce an appropriate expansion,
    or use the {{own}} template.
  • If this is an old image, for which the authorship is unknown or impossible to determine, please indicate this on the file description page.

File source problem with File:BredaBa.65.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:BredaBa.65.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the

image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.
