Also, regarding this edit... I believe Taxman is a 'crat. Your edit was clearly good faith, and you reverted it yourself of course, but its generally advised not to edit the page unless you are transcluding an RfA as a nom or candidate or closing one as a 'crat. You may be aware of this already - although your account appears to be new, I get the feeling it might not be your first. If you are new, welcome. If not, welcome back!

You recently filed a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves to move the page Cohort (military unit) to a different title - however your proposal is either incomplete or has been contested as being controversial. As a result, it has been moved to the incomplete and contested proposals section. Requests that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.
Please make sure you have completed all three of the following:
If you need any further guidance, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Requested moves or contact me on my talk page. - JPG-GR ( talk) 00:59, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! have you seen much of my stuff then? i'm afraid i cant recall having much (if any) interaction with you as a user. Actually, does deleting pages count as "stuff"? :P. Ironho lds 15:21, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi!
The consensus of the Military history WikiProject has been to avoid creating member categories, as they cause problems with maintaining the active member list, and break automated tools that depend on it. Thus, we were wondering if you'd be willing to get rid of the category and use the member list instead?
Thanks! Kirill ( prof) 17:22, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
Dude, it says that the scientific community regards it as a psuedo science,
Great comment, I think that will pretty much clear up any debate (hopefully) on the pseudoscience matter. Keep up the good work! -- Lightnin Boltz ( talk) 07:17, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Many thanks for you comments and suggestions on the above article that is now a Featured Article. Your assistance during the review process was much appreciated and helped make the article what it is today.-- Jackyd101 ( talk) 20:13, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, and I apologize in advance if this is too forward. I see you opposed Frank on his recent RfA but made it clear you would reconsider if your concerns were addressed. I believe he's made an attempt to address those concerns, and I'm not sure if you've had a chance to look over his clarification of Q1. It's alright if you still oppose but I just wanted to make sure you saw it before his RfA closed. Thanks :) - FrankTobia ( talk) 04:15, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Serviam, you struck your oppose but didn't indent it (replacing '#' with '#:') as is usual with retracted comments so they are not included in the autonumbering. Everyme (was Dorftrottel) ( talk) 20:25, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your participation in
my recent RfA, which closed successfully. I felt the process was a thorough review of my contributions and my demeanor, and I was very gratified to see how many editors took the time to really see what I'm about and how I can be of help to the project. As a result, some editors changed their views during the discussion, and most expressed specific, detailed points to indicate their opinion (whether it was
,
, or
).
A number of editors were concerned about my level of experience. I was purposeful in not waiting until a particular benchmark occurred before requesting adminship, because I feel - as many do - that adminship is not a reward and that each case is individual. It is true that I am not the most experienced editor around here, but I appreciate that people dug into my contributions enough to reach the conclusion that I seem to have a clue. Also, the best thing about this particular concern is that experience is something an editor - or administrator - can always get more of, and I'll continue doing that, just as I've been doing. (If I seem a little slow at it, feel free to slap me.)
I am a strong believer in the concept that this project is all about the content, and I'm looking forward to contributing wherever I can. Please let me know if I can be of any help. In the meantime, I'm off to school...
Thanks again!
Thanks for the barnstar and the message you left. You really made my day better. I really appriciate it.

Patton123/Archive, it is my honor to report that thanks in part to your support my third request for adminship passed (80/18/2).

Hi Serviam, I'm glad that you reconsidered Happyme22's RfA... It really bothers me when people aren't open minded enough to explore a candidate and his/her contributions or to see how the coaching might have improved a candidate. Coaching isn't by definition bad. Now there are people who get coaching that I oppose---I personally have a higher standard for anybody who has been through coaching---but I think it is important to look at the candidate and make decisions based upon the candidate, not upon some a priori assumption that might be wrong. Again, I mention this because I've seen too strong of a backlash against some poorly prepared candidates affecting those who are strong candidates. I ask that you remember this one and like Happy judge others on their merits/flaws, not upon some bias against people who sought help.--- Balloonman PoppaBalloon 17:35, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey,
Since you're a member of the Military land vehicles task force I just wanted to let you know that the Panzer I article is currently going through an A-class review.

Hey, the article TAM, which falls under the scope of the Military Land Vehicles Task Force, is currently undergoing an A-class review. Your comments are most welcomed!

I happened to notice your work on User:Serviam/Cloverleaf interchange, and I wasn't sure if you had seen Cloverleaf interchange. I once wrote a whole article only to find that there was already one on the same topic with a slightly different name - what a waste of time! ·:· Will Beback ·:· 23:45, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for improving the article. It no longer contradicts itself, but it contradicts the Livy who mentions velites for the battle of Telamon. Please clarify on what basis this change is asserted. The intro is too long and there's no need to explain the complete mechanics of the legion. It's enough to mention that they opened hostilities before the close combat troops closed in. I have seen some theories that they are supposed to have played a part in filling the gaps between the formations of hastati and Livy mentions detachments of velites and equites during the Punic Wars. Were these a new inventions and were the leves always bound to the hastati, while the velites were a fourth branch of the infantry? If your date for the switch from leves to velites is true, you should highlight the Battle of Telamon. It would benefit the article if the distinction between the leves and other light troops was highlighted. Wandalstouring ( talk) 19:00, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

"Welcome to Wikipedia. The project's content policies require that all articles be written from a neutral point of view, and not introduce bias or give undue weight to viewpoints. Please bear this in mind when making edits such as your recent edit to Silures. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. Patton123 19:33, 17 December 2008 (UTC)"
You have deleted the phrase "So-called Celts" in reference to the Silures, yet the genetic evidence, garnered by Sykes and Oppenheimer in their research clearly shows that the British, the Scots, the Irish and the Welsh were not and are not Celtic peoples. Surely you read fact, rather than simple mythology?

Patton123,
I'm a bit puzzled by your comment on my page:
Yes, He thinks it's OR, the references attached to the various sentances show otherwise.
This isn't the first time he's done that, nor the second , nor even the third.
I've explained to him that these are referenced and therefore not OR however, he continues his claim.
At that point, I consider it trolling. Further, it's not trolling to restore referenced content.
I stand by my statement.

Hi Patton123,
Can I please bother you with some copy-edit ? The article Jagdgeschwader 1 (World War II) is a A class Wikipedia:MIL article. User:Joe N in his A class review suggested Level 4 Copy edit. I believe it complies with MOS guidelines but then I am interested in going through a FAC review so I'd appreciate if you could check for 5 as well. Appreciate the help.
