Hi. When you recently edited Zane Floyd, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Las Vegas ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Hi, and thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give
1993 World Trade Center bombing a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into
World Trade Center bombing. This is known as a "
cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the
page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen.

I have reverted your removal of the 'School bombings' Category. The overwhelming majority of the deaths and all the damage to property (farm buildings/school building/multiple cars/buildings in downtown Bath) occurred from the use of dynamite & pyrotol. The only time a gun was used was when Kehoe supposedly used one as a detonator device for his car-bomb, the only death from a weapon other than explosives was when Kehoe beat his wife Nellie to death with some sort of blunt object.

When someone reverts your addition of a category don't just wait a few months and readd it, use the article talk page to discuss why you think the article belongs in that category. In this case I can't see how killings carried out over a 3 day period fit the description of spree killing.

I noticed you've been adding some ACW flag icons for Missouri personalities and such. Unfortunately, there is a problem in that the current Missouri State Flag is far different than that of the ACW period. Actually, the flag wasn't even specified at the time, but the best indication was that it was the state seal on blue merino (this was what Sterling Price issued as the order for the MSG.) While official state flags are in vogue now, they weren't back prior to the ACW or even early 1900's era...ironic considering the post-war Lost Cause recasting as this being an issue of "states rights." Apparently, there was far less interest in state flags by period southern rights partisans than what one witnesses today.
I've asked before (for years) for someone to create a flag icon based on that specified by Price for the MSG, so that it could be used for all of the MSG engagements (Athens, Cole Camp, Carthage, Boonville, Lexington, 1st Springfield, Fredericktown, etc.) I've seen contemporary Federal reference to this as the early war "bear flag" (either in regards to Boonville or Carthage IIRC.) I've also wondered what was flying over the state buildings from ~1850-1913. Most likely it was the state seal on a blue background...which is much different looking than the modern state flag despite containing the same basic seal. Of course for the Unionist Home Guard, EMM, etc. the same flag would also apply as for the MSG.
For an encyclopedia it would be appropriate to use period flags for the icons, rather than the historically incorrect ones now in use.

Hi, I noticed you keep adding "mass murder" and similar categories to various armed encounters. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, a battle involving lawful combatants (also in an insurgency context) which results in casualties is not defined as "mass murder". Similarly, a car crash with several dead is not categorised as such, either.
Consequently, please do not add such categories to incidents of armed attacks on security forces, not least because armed forces in combat context are a legitimate target, and the attack is then not called a murder. If in doubt, refer to international law (e.g., the Geneva Conventions).
Another issue is the meaning of "mass". The FBI threshold of four persons is by no way universal, or binding on Wikipedia. But even then, you added the "mass murder" category to 2013 Quaid-e-Azam Residency attack, an incident in which only one person lost their life. Please STOP! kashmiri TALK 18:43, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the
page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen.

Hi ProudIrishAspie! I recently reverted several of your edits in which you added several battles in Somalia to various "mass murder" categories (such as adding Bulo Marer hostage rescue attempt to Category:Mass murder in 2013). It is inappropriate to add such articles to these categories as "murder" and "killing" are not the same thing. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. – Zntrip 05:26, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Andrew Wood of Largo, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Captain ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

I noticed you've been very active working on formatting for a large number of American Civil War-era soldier biographies. Thanks for your efforts. While I'm a contributor on some of these works (some years ago), I haven't kept up with current normal article formats. There's a new editor User:Lieutcoluseng who seems to be working in the best interest of the pedia, but is not very experienced and so far hasn't been responsive to feedback. Would you mind looking over the contributions of this editor to make sure the works are in line with normal formatting for articles of that type? Thanks in any event. If I can be helpful in any way please feel free to call on me. BusterD ( talk) 17:28, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
ProudIrishAspie, I have noticed recently that you have been prolifically editing many military biography articles by adding flags to the "allegiance" and "branch" fields in their respective infoboxes. I would note first of all that this activity seems to be generally in contravention of WP:INFOBOXFLAG, which states that "Generally, flag icons should not be used in infoboxes, even when there is a "country", "nationality" or equivalent field: they are unnecessarily distracting and give undue prominence to one field among many." Further, that guideline notes that "Flag icons should only be inserted in infoboxes in those cases where they convey information in addition to the text." It is my belief, and the most logical reading of the MOS, that flags don't add additional information than is given by the text. A link to the Kingdom of Great Britain article gives the same, if not more, information as a flag. On top of that, adding the flags make that field more prominent than the others. What's to say that a person's birth/death place isn't more important than their allegiance or branch of service?
Most importantly, though, is that many of the flags you're adding are inaccurate, or pure fantasy. In almost all of your American Revolutionary War edits, for instance, you've added the Gadsden flag icon as the icon representing the Continental Army. This is pure fantasy, as that flag never was used as an official flag of that Army. In another edit, you added the Moultrie flag as the flag of the revolutionary-era state of South Carolina; despite the flag's popularity, it was never an official flag. INFOBOXFLAG states that "Use a historical flag and associated country name when they have at least a semi-officially applicable rationale to use them...It may in some narrow military history circumstances be appropriate to use flags, as they were used at the time being written about". There are many other statements about the use of flags and their pitfalls.
WP:MILMOS#FLAGS, an article on the subject that is persuasive to the style of many military articles, states that "When flag icons are used, they should be historically accurate ones. In particular: When dealing with items related to a particular time period, avoid using anachronistic flags from other time periods. Be especially careful to avoid using the flags of modern countries for ancient ones; in many cases, the proper successor of a country no longer in existence is a matter of considerable controversy. Avoid using national flags in inappropriate contexts, such as for groups or individuals not aligned with any country."
Here, then, is my request. Please, for the love of all that's holy, stop adding flags to Revolutionary War infoboxes. I don't really care what you do with other wars, but due to the particularly confusing and complex nature of flags - official and unofficial - used during the period, your addition of those flags actually reduces the educational value of the infobox. In the present set of edits you've done, you've actually edited three FAC articles in a way that causes them to violate what I think is the clear intent of the MOS. So, on that note, I'll end my plea. If you should choose to ignore it and continue on your course, I will ask a third party to step in and craft a solution. Cdtew ( talk) 02:21, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to!

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new.

By definition, an alumni is a graduate of an institution. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was NOT a graduate but rather a current undergraduate student and underclassman. Therefore, his inclusion in the list of Notable Alumni was inappropriate, as by definition he is not actually an alumni. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.88.249.107 ( talk) 20:46, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

I noticed you've been adding some ACW flag icons for Missouri personalities and such. Unfortunately, there is a problem in that the current Missouri State Flag is far different than that of the ACW period. Actually, the flag wasn't even specified at the time, but the best indication was that it was the state seal on blue merino (this was what Sterling Price issued as the order for the MSG.) While official state flags are in vogue now, they weren't back prior to the ACW or even early 1900's era...ironic considering the post-war Lost Cause recasting as this being an issue of "states rights." Apparently, there was far less interest in state flags by period southern rights partisans than what one witnesses today.
I've asked before (for years) for someone to create a flag icon based on that specified by Price for the MSG, so that it could be used for all of the MSG engagements (Athens, Cole Camp, Carthage, Boonville, Lexington, 1st Springfield, Fredericktown, etc.) I've seen contemporary Federal reference to this as the early war "bear flag" (either in regards to Boonville or Carthage IIRC.) I've also wondered what was flying over the state buildings from ~1850-1913. Most likely it was the state seal on a blue background...which is much different looking than the modern state flag despite containing the same basic seal. Of course for the Unionist Home Guard, EMM, etc. the same flag would also apply as for the MSG.
For an encyclopedia it would be appropriate to use period flags for the icons, rather than the historically incorrect ones now in use.

I've been reviewing the changes you've been making to infoboxes and have a few observations:
That said, I've been reverting most of your edits (as well as the edits of previous editors who had added inappropriate flags to infoboxes). There's plenty of work to do here and we'd love it if you stuck around, but if you're going to put in the time you might well make edits that last.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Hi, I noticed you keep adding "mass murder" and similar categories to various armed encounters. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, a battle involving lawful combatants (also in an insurgency context) which results in casualties is not defined as "mass murder". Similarly, a car crash with several dead is not categorised as such, either.
Consequently, please do not add such categories to incidents of armed attacks on security forces, not least because armed forces in combat context are a legitimate target, and the attack is then not called a murder. If in doubt, refer to international law (e.g., the Geneva Conventions).
Another issue is the meaning of "mass". The FBI threshold of four persons is by no way universal, or binding on Wikipedia. But even then, you added the "mass murder" category to 2013 Quaid-e-Azam Residency attack, an incident in which only one person lost their life. Please STOP! kashmiri TALK 18:43, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give
2012 Beirut bombing a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "
cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the
page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen.

Hi ProudIrishAspie! I recently reverted several of your edits in which you added several battles in Somalia to various "mass murder" categories (such as adding Bulo Marer hostage rescue attempt to Category:Mass murder in 2013).

I noticed you've been very active working on formatting for a large number of American Civil War-era soldier biographies. Thanks for your efforts. While I'm a contributor on some of these works (some years ago), I haven't kept up with current normal article formats. There's a new editor User:Lieutcoluseng who seems to be working in the best interest of the pedia, but is not very experienced and so far hasn't been responsive to feedback. Would you mind looking over the contributions of this editor to make sure the works are in line with normal formatting for articles of that type? Thanks in any event. If I can be helpful in any way please feel free to call on me. BusterD ( talk) 17:28, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
ProudIrishAspie, I have noticed recently that you have been prolifically editing many military biography articles by adding flags to the "allegiance" and "branch" fields in their respective infoboxes. I would note first of all that this activity seems to be generally in contravention of WP:INFOBOXFLAG, which states that "Generally, flag icons should not be used in infoboxes, even when there is a "country", "nationality" or equivalent field: they are unnecessarily distracting and give undue prominence to one field among many." Further, that guideline notes that "Flag icons should only be inserted in infoboxes in those cases where they convey information in addition to the text." It is my belief, and the most logical reading of the MOS, that flags don't add additional information than is given by the text. A link to the Kingdom of Great Britain article gives the same, if not more, information as a flag. On top of that, adding the flags make that field more prominent than the others. What's to say that a person's birth/death place isn't more important than their allegiance or branch of service?
Most importantly, though, is that many of the flags you're adding are inaccurate, or pure fantasy. In almost all of your American Revolutionary War edits, for instance, you've added the Gadsden flag icon as the icon representing the Continental Army. This is pure fantasy, as that flag never was used as an official flag of that Army. In another edit, you added the Moultrie flag as the flag of the revolutionary-era state of South Carolina; despite the flag's popularity, it was never an official flag. INFOBOXFLAG states that "Use a historical flag and associated country name when they have at least a semi-officially applicable rationale to use them...It may in some narrow military history circumstances be appropriate to use flags, as they were used at the time being written about". There are many other statements about the use of flags and their pitfalls.
WP:MILMOS#FLAGS, an article on the subject that is persuasive to the style of many military articles, states that "When flag icons are used, they should be historically accurate ones. In particular: When dealing with items related to a particular time period, avoid using anachronistic flags from other time periods. Be especially careful to avoid using the flags of modern countries for ancient ones; in many cases, the proper successor of a country no longer in existence is a matter of considerable controversy. Avoid using national flags in inappropriate contexts, such as for groups or individuals not aligned with any country."
Here, then, is my request. Please, for the love of all that's holy, stop adding flags to Revolutionary War infoboxes. I don't really care what you do with other wars, but due to the particularly confusing and complex nature of flags - official and unofficial - used during the period, your addition of those flags actually reduces the educational value of the infobox. In the present set of edits you've done, you've actually edited three FAC articles in a way that causes them to violate what I think is the clear intent of the MOS. So, on that note, I'll end my plea. If you should choose to ignore it and continue on your course, I will ask a third party to step in and craft a solution. Cdtew ( talk) 02:21, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to!
