Nate, I've just started scheduling TFAs (and loving it). I prefer to schedule as many with anniversaries as I can; I think that's one way to demystify the process. Before the end of the year, I'm going to go on a massive hunt for date-relevant articles ... but for the moment, all I've got for Nov 17 is this one. It's a really interesting article, and it would be great to get another British ship into November. Do you know if anyone has worked on this since the failed TFAR two years ago? - Dank ( push to talk) 03:54, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
I had time to do about half of it, I hope this helps. I'm giving a somewhat literal translation to make it easier to catch my numerous mistakes:
The squadron's ships were Kaiser Friedrich III (flagship), Kaiser Wilhelm der Große, Weisenburg, Wörth (flagship of the 2. Admiral until December), Braunschweig (flagship of the 2. Admiral starting in December), and Elsaß (attached to the formation beginning in May 1905). Nothing special happened during the autumn maneuvers, apart from a wintertime exercise by the combined fleet in the eastern part of the Baltic. There is also nothing special to report from the first quarter of 1905. After gaining Elsaß and the modernized warship Brandenburg and losing Kaiser Wilhelm der Große (to I Squadron), II Squadron remained at its previous strength of six ships. From 12 July to 9 August the fleet's usual grand summer tour took place, which Kaiser Friedrich III participated in during 20-24 July at Göteburg (Gothenburg, at that time), and at Stockholm during 2-7 August. The autumn maneuvers of the active battlefleet then followed. Yet another (if only slight) alteration in the organisation of the fleet affected Kaiser Friedrich III once again: she lost her position as squadron flagship to the new warship Preußen, moved to I Squadron, and took over the position of flagship of the 2. Admiral. This position had been re-created on 1 October and was staffed by KzS und Kommodore Pohl; sein Asto wurde KL Krah (Waldemar). The rest of the year brought I Squadron, with its flagship Wittelsbach, an even larger exercise in the Baltic. In 1906, the usual routine resumed. In the summer there was a larger tour in Norwegian waters. Kaiser Friedrich III was anchored 20-26 July at Molde and from 27 July to 2 August at Bergen. The autumn maneuvers of the active battlefleet were comparatively short, 7-15 September. In a previous fleet engagement, the artillery staff (under artillery officer KL Karl Heine) had been able to achieve for a second time the Kaiser-Schießpreis (Kaiser's shooting prize).
The subsequent autumn change in duties brought a new assignment to [the ship]. In a reshuffling of the order of the fleet, the warship lost its identity as flagship of the 2. Admiral of I Squadron. Since the new chief of fleet, Admiral Prince Heinrich von Preußen, was raising his flag on the new warship Deutschland, this freed up the previous fleet flagship, Kaiser Wilhelm II. After that, the 2. Admiral (???) Rollman. Kaiser Friedrich III remained however in I Squadron. The rest of the year proceeded uneventfully, apart from a December sortie into the North Sea. The same was true for the first half of 1907. The spring exercises (8 May - 7 June) and the summer exercises (12 July - 10 August) in the North and Baltic seas went without incident for the warship, as did the big autumn maneuvers (26 August - 14 September). Immediately afterwards, Kaiser Friedrich III entered the K. W. Kiel [Kiel shipyard, I think] and was readied for decommissioning. On 30 September 1907 came the end of a Front career of almost 10 years. The sister ship Kaiser Barbarossa took her place.
The year 1908 and the beginning of 1909 saw extensive modernizations to warships, as has already been reported. - Dank ( push to talk) 21:42, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
Nate, now that I'm looking at the schedule through the end of November I realize we have too many MilHist and too many ship articles, so I'm pushing this one off till its Jan 15 anniversary. Take your time. - Dank ( push to talk) 20:27, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
I'm using the phrase "one of the most consequential battles of the war" to describe the Battle of Jutland. My understanding is that, since Germany couldn't send their fleet out, they had permanent supply problems, and the only way to compete was by sinking merchant and warships with U-Boats, with significant consequences. Would you say that Battle of Jutland supports the "consequential" description, or am I pushing it too far? - Dank ( push to talk) 01:18, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I'm not sure if you conducted an in-depth review of this article from your comments, but if you feel comfortable doing so - and if I've addressed your comments! - could you please leave a support at Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Operation Paravane?

Hi Parsecboy.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins). MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your recent contribution at Military history of the Soviet Union. I see from your userpage you're active in the topic of military history. Did you see my report at the military history project talk page? Did I write that okay? I also started a discussion at the talk page of that particular article. Does that look alright so far? Any advice about the behavioral patterns from the edits documented in my report about what steps to take next ? Obviously I don't want to edit-war, and that is why I tried to notify more experienced users at WT:MILHIST, but was that the right move here? Sagecandor ( talk) 03:06, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi Parsecboy,
in the article Battle of Jutland there is this sentence to be read: Beatty's battlecruisers did not score any hits on the Germans in this phase until 17:45, but they had rapidly received five more before he opened the range.
What does it mean open the range? Was it not meant: ...before he opened fire?
Thank you in anticipation.

1. I do believe I've demonstrated quite an ability to work with other editors, and you can see that if you bother to check the drafts on the same talk page you posted. I want to do collaboration, but most when they find out about me just pull out the "banned card" and suddenly all my contributions for which I worked hours to find the sources and write them are "disruptive".
2. I've been carefully following Wiki policies in my editing: NPOV, reliable sources, all that. Wiki policies also state that contributions from banned users, when constructive, do not need to be removed. You can do it, but you don't have to.

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:
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.
For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert ( talk) & MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

I've made a move request to put ARA Belgrano at ARA Belgrano (C-4). You reversed the move on the basis of no discussion but having finally got round to looking there was a discussion in October 2016 and as you were the only person to object (some time later) it seemed to be uncontroversial.

Hey, Ed and I were talking about trying to whip the article into shape for the March Madness contest and then send it forward to FAC as a co-nom. I don't think that very much work needs to be done so I'm hoping that you'll have time to help with the polishing. BTW, we'll probably need to dump the Scarpaci material as SPS, even though he's done a updated version with a new title.-- Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 21:33, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for creating an article on this Ottoman warship, a very interesting ship. One thing I'm thinking about in this regards is, is the ship's name spelled Avnillah or Avnillâh? A look at Google Books seem to indicate that Turkish language sources use Avnillâh. What do you think? Manxruler ( talk) 10:30, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

If original documentary sources are not acceptable then many of the Wikipedia articles are forced to be sourced by acceptable sources that can contain erroneous information, uninformed opinions, etc. I was under the impression that the Wikipedia effort was one that wished to distill true fact by soliciting a myriad of inputs. Apparently I was mistaken. Федоров ( talk) 23:20, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Osmaniye-class ironclad, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Breastwork. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I'm currently doing a GA review of the Eugene Cernan article and I get a copyvio warning using the tools. I think it's because there's a large quote in the text but since I'm new to the review thing, I am unsure what to do. I was wondering if you could give me some guidance. Thanks.

Parsecboy, thank you for your recent change to the current
Haitian gunboat Crête-à-Pierrot. I was just wondering if you could possibly take a look at some other Haitian ships that may need renaming; it would tremendously be appreciated
. It's a relatively short list and have compiled them to the following (which are all redirects):

Hey!
Columbidae is under review from quite a while now.
ProgrammingGeek was on a wikibreak until september; however, he commented on the review in starting june, which I was unaware of (apparently, it was not on my watchlist
). I amended the issues pointed out by him, but it looks like his wikibreak might have resumed. I worked on it a lot to get it to striking range of GA, and I really need this review. So, could you review it instead? It would be really helpful. Thanks a bunch.

Morning,
Was wondering if you could take a look at my talk page history please. I'm currently being attacked by another editor. I've given him warnings, but I need an uninvolved admin to take a look to see if I should take this to another level. Thanks Llammakey ( talk) 15:45, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

When you reverted my edit of the above-named article, your note to me was, "(Actually the previous wording was correct - you're thinking "composed of")" Just to set the record straight, I was actually thinking "comprised of", as in this copied passage from the dictionary.com definition of "comprise":
"Idiom 1. be comprised of, to consist of; be composed of: The sales network is comprised of independent outlets and chain stores."
Nevertheless, I've been editing since about 1998, so I've leaned well how it works. I'm at the bottom of the editing ladder, so my edit is incorrect, and as such I'll leave the article as you have it. ETO Buff ( talk) 01:52, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

I've been going back & forth with User:Andy Dingley over a minor thing at Stirling engine. I removed a second use of the full name, which was linked, thinking either was redundant, & both certainly was. Andy rv'd. I can just barely understand putting the name back in, but it's mentioned about six lines above, so I don't think it's needed; the link can't be. So I took out the link. Andy rv'd that, too. And when I rv'd that, he slapped me with an edit warring notice.... Suggestions? FYI, I've had User:Denniss insisting on "Nazi Germany" on the SdKfz 234 page, which I don't see as apt for a non-political page, & I'm at 2 rv's there, too...

Hello Parsecboy. Please could you advise me? I have encountered an unexpected problem in editing at Battle for Caen, which was a major component of the invasion of Normandy in WW2. There was a "controversy" in that battle, in that things did not go at all according to the original plan, but after the war General Montgomery vociferously maintained the contrary, and claimed that the top American commanders had all completely misunderstood the plan. This controversy is widely acknowledged, and has been described in several of the reliable sources, so I have been attempting to add it to the article. However I have encountered some editors here – one a very experienced editor – who have gone to extraordinary lengths over several months to keep this info out of the article. Third opinions which do not support them have been ignored, and a recent DRN process ended inconclusively after they stone-walled it. Per my understanding of WP:NPOV, the article should represent "all of the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic." WP:NPOV also says that this principle cannot be superseded by editor consensus. Am I misinterpreting the NPOV policy? Please could you advise me on this? Wdford ( talk) 20:45, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
I'm tired of seeing OPM slowly dying as members vanish or wander off to other projects; what can I do to help? You've said on this page before that if I get the lists, we might be able to finish Phase I, but you also said that you weren't looking forward to tackling the British ships.
I'm not either, so let's do them together. Beyond a bunch of copies of Conway's, Burt 1988, and maybe Jane's, what books and/or resources should I find and use?
Addendum: I know that many members of the project have library pages and that the project page has a small references section; I wanted to get your take as an experienced member of this project. – Vami _IV✠ 10:26, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Greetings Parsec, are you still following the debate? You wrote
in Buckley's section (which seems scattered and hard to follow), earlier works are referenced only to dismantle their arguments, which is obviously not NPOV. On the other hand, we do need to be careful that the section doesn't turn into making Monty (or anybody else) a whipping boy. If the criticisms of Monty are dated (and I don't know if they are or are not - this is not my area of expertise), then that should be made clear, and that should have an effect on the weight placed on them.
which is quite a charge and I wrote it. I'm not sure what you mean with "obviously not NPOV". Did you mean that you thought I was using Buckley with an ulterior motive or that Buckley is questionable? The section ascribed to him is a synopsis of historical views, just like the Schlieffen Plan section, except not directly lifted from the writers' works. Did you mean that their works should be described from the sources, not through Buckley? Regards Keith-264 ( talk) 07:11, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
@Parsecboy: I have responded to your question at the Caen talk page - it's quite lengthy. Thanks for your input, and any further input you could offer would be most welcome. This guy blatantly ignores WP:NPOV, and he ain't budging. Wdford ( talk) 17:05, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

Maybe I'm totally in the wrong here, but two article I've made extensive changes to have been attacked by another editor, including the article you're grading for GA status. I took into consideration some of his criticism but feel that some of it is unwarranted. I tried backing up my reasoning but he reverted my revert so I obviously don't want to start an Edit War. Besides Omaha he attacked USS Oglala (CM-4), which I reverted and started editing, but he reverted it again before I finished. Most of the article was copied and pasted from DANFS, with changes made in reference to Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships/DANFS conversions but not all of the POV/Flowery words had been removed. These edits had been made in May of this year and I believe it's listed as a Start on the Talk page.
Any advice/help/criticism would be appreciated since you've obviously been with the WP:SHIPS project longer than I have. Pennsy22 ( talk) 06:12, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
Asked the user in question about that photo. Not sure if that's enough for you? Seems like it might be thin, especially as the ship was towed to Kiel during the war? Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 15:32, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

Nate, I've just started scheduling TFAs (and loving it). I prefer to schedule as many with anniversaries as I can; I think that's one way to demystify the process. Before the end of the year, I'm going to go on a massive hunt for date-relevant articles ... but for the moment, all I've got for Nov 17 is this one. It's a really interesting article, and it would be great to get another British ship into November. Do you know if anyone has worked on this since the failed TFAR two years ago? - Dank ( push to talk) 03:54, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
I had time to do about half of it, I hope this helps. I'm giving a somewhat literal translation to make it easier to catch my numerous mistakes:
The squadron's ships were Kaiser Friedrich III (flagship), Kaiser Wilhelm der Große, Weisenburg, Wörth (flagship of the 2. Admiral until December), Braunschweig (flagship of the 2. Admiral starting in December), and Elsaß (attached to the formation beginning in May 1905). Nothing special happened during the autumn maneuvers, apart from a wintertime exercise by the combined fleet in the eastern part of the Baltic. There is also nothing special to report from the first quarter of 1905. After gaining Elsaß and the modernized warship Brandenburg and losing Kaiser Wilhelm der Große (to I Squadron), II Squadron remained at its previous strength of six ships. From 12 July to 9 August the fleet's usual grand summer tour took place, which Kaiser Friedrich III participated in during 20-24 July at Göteburg (Gothenburg, at that time), and at Stockholm during 2-7 August. The autumn maneuvers of the active battlefleet then followed. Yet another (if only slight) alteration in the organisation of the fleet affected Kaiser Friedrich III once again: she lost her position as squadron flagship to the new warship Preußen, moved to I Squadron, and took over the position of flagship of the 2. Admiral. This position had been re-created on 1 October and was staffed by KzS und Kommodore Pohl; sein Asto wurde KL Krah (Waldemar). The rest of the year brought I Squadron, with its flagship Wittelsbach, an even larger exercise in the Baltic. In 1906, the usual routine resumed. In the summer there was a larger tour in Norwegian waters. Kaiser Friedrich III was anchored 20-26 July at Molde and from 27 July to 2 August at Bergen. The autumn maneuvers of the active battlefleet were comparatively short, 7-15 September. In a previous fleet engagement, the artillery staff (under artillery officer KL Karl Heine) had been able to achieve for a second time the Kaiser-Schießpreis (Kaiser's shooting prize).
The subsequent autumn change in duties brought a new assignment to [the ship]. In a reshuffling of the order of the fleet, the warship lost its identity as flagship of the 2. Admiral of I Squadron. Since the new chief of fleet, Admiral Prince Heinrich von Preußen, was raising his flag on the new warship Deutschland, this freed up the previous fleet flagship, Kaiser Wilhelm II. After that, the 2. Admiral (???) Rollman. Kaiser Friedrich III remained however in I Squadron. The rest of the year proceeded uneventfully, apart from a December sortie into the North Sea. The same was true for the first half of 1907. The spring exercises (8 May - 7 June) and the summer exercises (12 July - 10 August) in the North and Baltic seas went without incident for the warship, as did the big autumn maneuvers (26 August - 14 September). Immediately afterwards, Kaiser Friedrich III entered the K. W. Kiel [Kiel shipyard, I think] and was readied for decommissioning. On 30 September 1907 came the end of a Front career of almost 10 years. The sister ship Kaiser Barbarossa took her place.
The year 1908 and the beginning of 1909 saw extensive modernizations to warships, as has already been reported. - Dank ( push to talk) 21:42, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
Nate, now that I'm looking at the schedule through the end of November I realize we have too many MilHist and too many ship articles, so I'm pushing this one off till its Jan 15 anniversary. Take your time. - Dank ( push to talk) 20:27, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
I'm using the phrase "one of the most consequential battles of the war" to describe the Battle of Jutland. My understanding is that, since Germany couldn't send their fleet out, they had permanent supply problems, and the only way to compete was by sinking merchant and warships with U-Boats, with significant consequences. Would you say that Battle of Jutland supports the "consequential" description, or am I pushing it too far? - Dank ( push to talk) 01:18, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Parsecboy.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins). MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Parsecboy,
in the article Battle of Jutland there is this sentence to be read: Beatty's battlecruisers did not score any hits on the Germans in this phase until 17:45, but they had rapidly received five more before he opened the range.
What does it mean open the range? Was it not meant: ...before he opened fire?

Hello, I do have casualty figures for the sinking of Trento.

1. I do believe I've demonstrated quite an ability to work with other editors, and you can see that if you bother to check the drafts on the same talk page you posted. I want to do collaboration, but most when they find out about me just pull out the "banned card" and suddenly all my contributions for which I worked hours to find the sources and write them are "disruptive".
2. I've been carefully following Wiki policies in my editing: NPOV, reliable sources, all that. Wiki policies also state that contributions from banned users, when constructive, do not need to be removed. You can do it, but you don't have to. So...What exactly is the problem? 86.123.126.168 ( talk) 16:31, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

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:
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.
For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert ( talk) & MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Hey, Ed and I were talking about trying to whip the article into shape for the March Madness contest and then send it forward to FAC as a co-nom. I don't think that very much work needs to be done so I'm hoping that you'll have time to help with the polishing.

Hi. Thanks for creating an article on this Ottoman warship, a very interesting ship. One thing I'm thinking about in this regards is, is the ship's name spelled Avnillah or Avnillâh?

If original documentary sources are not acceptable then many of the Wikipedia articles are forced to be sourced by acceptable sources that can contain erroneous information, uninformed opinions, etc. I was under the impression that the Wikipedia effort was one that wished to distill true fact by soliciting a myriad of inputs.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Osmaniye-class ironclad, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Breastwork. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I'm currently doing a GA review of the Eugene Cernan article and I get a copyvio warning using the tools. I think it's because there's a large quote in the text but since I'm new to the review thing, I am unsure what to do. I was wondering if you could give me some guidance. Thanks.

Parsecboy, thank you for your recent change to the current

Hey!
Columbidae is under review from quite a while now.
ProgrammingGeek was on a wikibreak until september; however, he commented on the review in starting june, which I was unaware of (apparently, it was not on my watchlist
). I amended the issues pointed out by him, but it looks like his wikibreak might have resumed. I worked on it a lot to get it to striking range of GA, and I really need this review. So, could you review it instead? It would be really helpful. Thanks a bunch.

Morning,
Was wondering if you could take a look at my talk page history please. I'm currently being attacked by another editor. I've given him warnings, but I need an uninvolved admin to take a look to see if I should take this to another level. Thanks Llammakey ( talk) 15:45, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
I finally answered that question I asked you three years ago, have you ever heard of another ship comparable to HMS Zubian. See the "Disposition" section of USS Honolulu (SSN-718) for a comparable situation. Nyttend ( talk) 11:42, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
When you reverted my edit of the above-named article, your note to me was, "(Actually the previous wording was correct - you're thinking "composed of")" Just to set the record straight, I was actually thinking "comprised of", as in this copied passage from the dictionary.com definition of "comprise":
"Idiom 1. be comprised of, to consist of; be composed of: The sales network is comprised of independent outlets and chain stores."
Nevertheless, I've been editing since about 1998, so I've leaned well how it works. I'm at the bottom of the editing ladder, so my edit is incorrect, and as such I'll leave the article as you have it. ETO Buff ( talk) 01:52, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

I've been going back & forth with User:Andy Dingley over a minor thing at Stirling engine. I removed a second use of the full name, which was linked, thinking either was redundant, & both certainly was. Andy rv'd. I can just barely understand putting the name back in, but it's mentioned about six lines above, so I don't think it's needed; the link can't be. So I took out the link. Andy rv'd that, too. And when I rv'd that, he slapped me with an edit warring notice.... Suggestions? FYI, I've had User:Denniss insisting on "Nazi Germany" on the SdKfz 234 page, which I don't see as apt for a non-political page, & I'm at 2 rv's there, too...

Hello Parsecboy. Please could you advise me? I have encountered an unexpected problem in editing at Battle for Caen, which was a major component of the invasion of Normandy in WW2. There was a "controversy" in that battle, in that things did not go at all according to the original plan, but after the war General Montgomery vociferously maintained the contrary, and claimed that the top American commanders had all completely misunderstood the plan. This controversy is widely acknowledged, and has been described in several of the reliable sources, so I have been attempting to add it to the article. However I have encountered some editors here – one a very experienced editor – who have gone to extraordinary lengths over several months to keep this info out of the article. Third opinions which do not support them have been ignored, and a recent DRN process ended inconclusively after they stone-walled it. Per my understanding of WP:NPOV, the article should represent "all of the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic." WP:NPOV also says that this principle cannot be superseded by editor consensus. Am I misinterpreting the NPOV policy? Please could you advise me on this? Wdford ( talk) 20:45, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
I'm tired of seeing OPM slowly dying as members vanish or wander off to other projects; what can I do to help? You've said on this page before that if I get the lists, we might be able to finish Phase I, but you also said that you weren't looking forward to tackling the British ships.
I'm not either, so let's do them together. Beyond a bunch of copies of Conway's, Burt 1988, and maybe Jane's, what books and/or resources should I find and use?
Addendum: I know that many members of the project have library pages and that the project page has a small references section; I wanted to get your take as an experienced member of this project. – Vami _IV✠ 10:26, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
Following this discussion, I have decided for the moment to tackle the List of battleships... for the United States of America and for Russia/Soviet Union. – Vami _IV✠ 14:52, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

Greetings Parsec, are you still following the debate? You wrote
in Buckley's section (which seems scattered and hard to follow), earlier works are referenced only to dismantle their arguments, which is obviously not NPOV. On the other hand, we do need to be careful that the section doesn't turn into making Monty (or anybody else) a whipping boy. If the criticisms of Monty are dated (and I don't know if they are or are not - this is not my area of expertise), then that should be made clear, and that should have an effect on the weight placed on them.
which is quite a charge and I wrote it. I'm not sure what you mean with "obviously not NPOV". Did you mean that you thought I was using Buckley with an ulterior motive or that Buckley is questionable? The section ascribed to him is a synopsis of historical views, just like the Schlieffen Plan section, except not directly lifted from the writers' works. Did you mean that their works should be described from the sources, not through Buckley? Regards Keith-264 ( talk) 07:11, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
@Parsecboy: I have responded to your question at the Caen talk page - it's quite lengthy. Thanks for your input, and any further input you could offer would be most welcome. This guy blatantly ignores WP:NPOV, and he ain't budging. Wdford ( talk) 17:05, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

This is for your continuous making of impeccable (literally, top notch) good articles mainly for
Wikipedia:MILITARY! It is most appreciated, and keep up the great work!

Hellow there, I hope you are doing great. Would you be able to review the common loon for a GA? However, if due to any reason you are unable to, that would be fine too. I hope you have a good great rest of the day!

Hey Parsecboy,
I was wondering if you'd be willing to provide feedback on the German destroyer Z39 article FAC, since you helped review it for A class. Cheers! -- Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 03:13, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
Maybe I'm totally in the wrong here, but two article I've made extensive changes to have been attacked by another editor, including the article you're grading for GA status. I took into consideration some of his criticism but feel that some of it is unwarranted. I tried backing up my reasoning but he reverted my revert so I obviously don't want to start an Edit War. Besides Omaha he attacked USS Oglala (CM-4), which I reverted and started editing, but he reverted it again before I finished. Most of the article was copied and pasted from DANFS, with changes made in reference to Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships/DANFS conversions but not all of the POV/Flowery words had been removed. These edits had been made in May of this year and I believe it's listed as a Start on the Talk page.
Any advice/help/criticism would be appreciated since you've obviously been with the WP:SHIPS project longer than I have. Pennsy22 ( talk) 06:12, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
Asked the user in question about that photo. Not sure if that's enough for you? Seems like it might be thin, especially as the ship was towed to Kiel during the war? Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 15:32, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
