Hal: How do I go about nominating an article (in this case, an image) for deletion? To be specific, I think the image of CSS Louisiana (Wikipedia site Image:CSSLouisiana.jpg) should either be deleted, for reasons that I state on its Discussion page, or at least marked so that users know that it is incorrect.

You recently filed a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves to move the page Battle of Fort Pillow (Naval) 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) 02:25, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Peter. Just wanted to tell you I have fixed those deadlink problems over at HNoMS Nordkapp OPV (1937) and HNoMS Odin so if you could it would be nice if you had another look at those articles. Thanks in advance. Manxruler ( talk) 22:18, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Yes, of course we prefer HNoMS. The point is, HNoMS is the correct English term. We always use HNoMS when writing in English. KNM is the Norwegian language version, for use when speaking in Norwegian. The Dutch do the same thing, with the HNLMS pre-fix, they don't try to force ZM and HM on English-speakers. Neither do we. It's a simply case of translation. HNoMS is the commonly accepted English term. Have a look at the official Norwegian Defence Force website page on the our new frigates to see what I mean.

I am afraid that at the moment I can not simply move the article because the original name (the one currently being used) has been in service since 2005. To move the article back administrative protocal dictates that an editer petition the community to move the article via Requested Move. If consensus is established to move the article then I can do it, otherwise it will remain here under its current name.
For purposes of our project, GA is considered an upgunned B-class rank, while A-class is considered to be FAC ready with no major ommissions, screups, or oversights. Consequently, we treat our A-class articles as FA-class articles in training and our GA-class articles as improved B-class articles that still need work for a shot at passing FAC.

We've had a rather large bombshell dropped on us. The Wikipedia editorial team are aiming to release a version of Wikipedia on CD/DVD in time for the end of year holiday season. They've provided us with a list of 1333 Milhist articles they intend including.
The problem is that the quality of these articles varies considerably.
We've put together review page listing all the articles, in twenty-five article worklists. I'm hoping that 15-20 trusted editors can work through the list, weedying out problem articles and identifying suitable versions for release. The work is as far away from a tagging and assessing drive as you can imagine though, for convenience and ease of use, we've closely followed the traditional Milhist drive format.
This is, at the moment, an invitation-only review. The reason is that time is short and we can't afford too many mistakes. I'm only contacting experienced editors who performed very well indeed in the last two Milhist drives. I guess that working through a worklist of twenty-five articles will take between one and three hours to do. We're aiming to get the preliminary work done by next Sunday, so it's urgent too.
I do hope you can help but – if it's not too much trouble – if you are unable to participate at the moment, would you please let me know on my talk page? otherwise, please sign up here. Thank you for your time, -- ROGER DAVIES talk 17:27, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
Thank you very much for your help in our review of the W0.7-nominated articles, which has proved to be a very worthwhile exercise. As the number of sub-standard articles found was much higher than anticipated, the coordinators are currently considering how best to follow this up, given the project's limited resources and the short time span – under three weeks - for making improvements.
The review has been a very worthwhile exercise and will lead to a major quality improvement initiative in the very near future. In the meantime, if you found any articles that you feel you could easily fix, I'd be very grateful if you invested a little time doing so. Please also feel free to nominate any articles for inclusion which you feel were overlooked. The procedure for this is here and the nominations should be made here. -- ROGER DAVIES talk 07:47, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Hal:
1. Concerning the citation request for Page's condemnation of his subordinates: The opinion that he should have been more understanding cannot be documented, as it is my own. I suppose you can regard that as an inadmissible point of view; if so, remove it. I do not think it is necessary to the article.
2. You will note that I keep adding things to the article, so my editing is not complete. You may wish to delay evaluation until I think it is through, when I intend to request peer review. The remaining big problem is the Order of Battle, which I left standing from the original article, but differs from my sources. The OOBs for the navies are OK, but those for the armies are not. My army sources are not very profound (I pretty much have to rely on Battles and leaders- see vol. 4, p. 400 - and the Official Records), so I am waiting for another book to come in that I hope will resolve issues. If you have reliable information, I will not complain if you beat me to the punch. PKKloeppel ( talk) 18:01, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
