Question about the contest.

About the Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Contest: I read about it when it started and then didn't pay too much attention, so I hadn't been logging any of my new articles. I noticed that I created 10 articles in May. Is it too late to add them to the log for totals? (I know they wouldn't count retroactively for that month.) — ERcheck (talk) 03:32, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Just a note

Kirill Lokshin and Wandalstouring Greetings! One of our members in the military history project was kind enough to nominate me for adminship. I just wanted you both to know if I am elected that I will NOT cut back on my committments to the project. I am in the process of polishing up the Republic of Texas/State of Texas military history, (most articles concern the struggle against the Comanche) and have begun to compile the full list of articles on the Mongol Era towards getting some input from you both on which ones need complete rewriting and which ones can be salvaged with upgrades. I see a mountain of work on this era, and just wanted you to know that I plan, if I am indeed elected to admin, to add 90 minutes to 2 hours a day to do admin tasks, and under no circumstances (unless I fall over!) will I shortchange the military history project. I believe whole heartedly in this project, and just wanted to let you know, if you saw my name on the admin-nominated list, that I was still committed to this project, and would not shortchange it. By the way, as a note that people do notice, (even if they are relatives!), my grandson, who got me started on the Texas/Comanche series, wrote me an email yesterday saying "Grandpa! You finally have a good article on the Great Raid on wikipedia!" That sort of makes the work worthwhile! old windy bear 20:58, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

re:Abu

Kirill, I just wanted to point to an interaction on WP:MILHIST that typifies the response of most people when their images are questioned. [1]. All I did was point out that the images in question are not public domain as tagged, and that they are almost certainly unusable on wikipedia - I haven't even tagged them as {{nsd}} or tried to get them deleted. Read the whole conversation. If I did this on a larger scale like Abu - it's easy to see how I'd pick up a crowd of users mad enough to start an RfC. We need more users aggressively dealing with image copyright problems (like Abu) - not less. Megapixie 22:51, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

User:Hemlock Martinus is abusing his power as an administrator.

Hello, My name is Ravi. I am a new Wikipedian. My nickname is ‘Sam’. I made few changes in articles like Purdue University and Indiana as an anonymous user. My e-mail address is Ravi-141@hotmail.com. User:Hemlock Martinus is abusing his power as an administrator. On 9 June 2007, My friend User:Devraj5000 was introducing me to the policies of the Wikipedia. Devraj5000 accidentally violated 3RR. User:Hemlock Martinus, who is an administrator blocked Devraj5000 for 24 hours. Then, Devraj5000 asked me to create an account. I created an account User:R-1441 and I made some comments on the behalf of Devraj5000. Then, Devraj5000 left the computer. After that, User:Hemlock Martinus accused Devraj5000 of sockpuppetry and blocked him for a week. He also blocked IP address: 202.52.234.194 and User:R-1441. Sir, User:R-1441 is my account. I created this new account because User:Hemlock Martinus blocked my account without informing me. It is totally wrong for an administrator to block so many people from editing. User:Hemlock Martinus is an arrogant human being and he is abusing his power as an administrator. He should be blocked from the Wikipedia. Thank you. Ravi. RaviJames 07:50, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

This has been put on many editors's pages. User talk:Charles Matthews and User talk:Jimbo Wales have a couple of responses. Flyguy649 ^talk _contribs 08:07, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Soviet invasion of Poland (1939), an article reviewed by you for the A-class of WP:MILHIST, is now a Featured Article Candidate. You may want to see how it has changed since then, suggest further improvements, address current comments and vote.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  20:12, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, there are several wikipedians to start the task force. It includes Muslim conquests as well as civil wars. Please describe the procedure for me.--Sa.vakilian(t-c) 13:07, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

archiving a talk page

I just wanted to seek administrator help in archiving Kargil War's talk page. btw, can you see that the military project also includes several military related Good Articles on the project page that currently has only FA and A content lists? I have also worked to bring 1 article (Kargil War) to FA status and 2 others (Operation Gibraltar & Atlantique Incident) to GA and want to make it known that I'm willing to help anyone interested in Wars of the subcontinent. where should i do it? --Idleguy 07:52, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Task Force

You are being recruited by the Salem Witch Trials Task Force, a collaborative project committed to improving Wikipedia's coverage of the Salem witch trials. Join us!

Oh, that's nice. Have you seen our new article about Basque witch trials? :) --Ghirla^-трёп- 22:11, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Anglo-French war 1557

I would be grateful if you could help me identify the Wikipedia article about the English-French war of 1557-59 (the one mentioned in the article about Thomas Charnock). --Ghirla^-трёп- 22:11, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that's what I think the passage refers to. Unfortunately, there is next to nothing about English participation in the events. Thanks, anyway. --Ghirla^-трёп- 22:51, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
