Saw this on Roger's talk page.
My personal recommendation would be to check out WP:RCP, where you can monitor the most recent changes across the 'Pedia. There's logs to monitor only IP contribs, the contribs of New Users, and various other specialized logs. though the "Undo" function can often serve the same purpose as others, I would also recommend asking a current admin for Rollback Rights (or requesting Rollback Rights Here). Best of luck with any future Admin requests! Cam ( Chat) 01:42, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
P.S. - Superb work on the above DYKs!! :)
Hi there. I just wanted to let you know that I moved Joseph W. Revere to the Template:Did you know/Next next update. I know that you expressed interest in possibly making this an April fools day hook, but we already have potentially too many articles competing for a limited number of spots for that day. I thought it better to just use it in the normal mill of things. Besides, I used your picture as well (which always draws more readers) and that probably would not have happened if your hook was selected for April fools. Cheers.

Thank you! I will agree about the general opposition throughout the coordination candidates as well. I find it interesting that, if you look at the initial votes on 'Pedia-wide C-Class, the most vocal opposition came from our members ( Roger in particular had scathing criticism of C-Class) and our coordinators. For some projects, C-Class does help with assessment schemes. Because of the level of both incredible organizational abilities within MilHist and the strongly synthesized and well thought-out processes that run behind the scenes here, I don't think it to be necessary for our project in particular.

Good day Lordoliver! I noticed your work adding to his page; I made a few very minor tweaks to them and have a question. The ref you provided (Blakey, Arch Fredric; "General John H. Winder, C.S.A," (1990)) is this a book, article from a magazine, or what? If a published book like I think, it needs publisher info and a ISBN if known. Thanks. Kresock ( talk) 02:17, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
OK then. If you own the book or can you give a link to it if online, I can show you how easily. Kresock ( talk) 02:27, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
Great, and on Google books! Cool beans. The link has the publisher info along the right-hand side, "University Press of Florida." Above the cover of the book there's a tab labeled "About this book" which leads to a summary page here listing publisher, # of pages, and ISBN's. Now just add this info to Winder's page, in the format already in use. Too bad we cannot use the cover pic of Winder, it's much better than the one we are using! Let me know if you have any other concerns. Kresock ( talk) 02:39, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
Excellent! I just moved it higher in the list aplhabetically. Good day Lordoliver! Kresock ( talk) 02:50, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Howdy,
I saw your edit, and Matthew Butler was in the U.S. Army he fought in the Spanish-American War as a Major General, it's okay though I know you didn't mean any harm. Have A Great Day! Lord R. T. Oliver The Olive Branch 01:48, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Do you know if there are any pictures of Charles D. Anderson? I have been looking and can't find one, could you help me? Thanks and Have A Great Day! Lord R. T. Oliver The Olive Branch 19:05, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
congrats on running for Coordinator for the MILHIST wikiProject i hope you make it! -- McCain's Man ( talk) 21:59, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. I think I have a reasonable shot at getting back in, having been a coordinator for some time I suspect most people by now know me by name and deed, however having extra luck never hurts :) Good luck to you as well; you likely will get a vote from me in time, but owing to school I have only now begun the process of looking through our first time coordinator candidate's contributions and such, and have not yet made it to you. TomStar81 ( Talk)
Cool, thanks! Glad to hear that my opinion isn't crazy. :) – Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 04:45, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
Hello, Lord R. T. Oliver! I don’t really have strong feelings regarding which way C-class goes, as far as MILHIST goes, because it’s a well-led and very active project with high standards. Still, I do think that when we get new members who don’t have a “natural spot” and ask for guidance on where they can help out, C-class would be a handy place to direct them. Beyond that, C-class is probably more helpful to less active projects more in need of advancing their efforts, since A-class and B-class are pretty challenging standards and it can be a long road from bare-bone Start-class to the level of B-class. In short, I don’t see it as that serious a “bracket creep” and expect it would do more good than harm.
As for coin-collecting, yes, that has long been my favorite hobby, although I have only had minimum opportunity to enjoy it over the last few years. Real-life responsibilities seem to always expand to the unfortunate crowding out of other pleasures. Nonetheless, in protest of that trend, I continue to build a world-class collection of Philippine Guerrilla Notes. What is your area of special interest?
Cheers, Askari Mark (Talk) 21:40, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
I answered that question in my answer to the C class question asked of me during the Q&A part of the election. The answer also has my reasons for not casting a vote on that particular referendum. - MBK 004 02:23, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Congrats on it making 'B' class! Just to let you know, I'm gonna perform some formatting changes on this page, mostly for citing and the refs list, and also expand on his time at West Point. The reasons for this is consistency with this style guide, which is recommended on the Requested biographies page you have linked here, as well as Civil War task force page, and is currently widely used on most of the ACW pages we have. I try to always follow it, and out of habit move other edits towards it, so if you wanna know why I do any changes it's probably due to that. Hope this helps! Kresock ( talk) 15:47, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
Hello again Lordoliver! On his page, one of the cites you added (#9 when I last checked) is missing which work/author it comes from. Also some of the references aren't being used, and should be moved into a new 'Further reading' section after the 'Notes' section if they are relevant. I'll be happy to do that for you when the cite problem is clarified. Have a great day Lordoliver! Kresock ( talk) 16:58, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
You math is a little off, Lordoliver; we do have 13 validated coordinators, but only 12 of them are coordinators since the user with the most vote is anointed "Lead Coordinator". As a result there are actually 2 remaining coordinator spots left to fill. That is good news for you since at the moment you and Jackyd101 stand the best chance of being elected to the last two seats, or alternatively, coopted if the election fails to fill all needed seats. Don't lose hope yet, you may still get in as a coordinator this time around. TomStar81 ( Talk) 03:49, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi mate, this one seems right for B-Class but the lead really should be expanded a little, one para is fine but needs to be a bit 'fatter'. Also quote marks don't go around book titles (short stories or articles, yes). I might just take care of the titles but can you fill out the lead a tad?

The article Uniforms of the Confederate States military forces you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . It hasn't failed because it's basically a good article, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Uniforms of the Confederate States military forces for things needed to be addressed. Please remember to add the GAN template to the Talk page, with appropriate subtopic listed, as per the instructions at Good Article Nominations (In fact, you should really do this before nominating). Anaxial ( talk) 15:09, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
You missed a number of further grammatical, stylistic, and punctuation errors (around twenty or so - which I imagine was largely the problem at the first GA review), but I have just fixed these myself, and am happy to pass the article as meeting the Good Article criteria. Congratulations! Anaxial ( talk) 00:03, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Lt. Frances H. Cameron in CSMC Uniform.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:15, 24 March 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — neuro (talk) (review) 22:15, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading File:Lt. Frances H. Cameron in CSMC Uniform.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. — neuro (talk) (review) 22:51, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

The article Uniforms of the Confederate States military forces you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . It hasn't failed because it's basically a good article, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Uniforms of the Confederate States military forces for things needed to be addressed. Please remember to add the GAN template to the Talk page, with appropriate subtopic listed, as per the instructions at Good Article Nominations (In fact, you should really do this before nominating).

You missed a number of further grammatical, stylistic, and punctuation errors (around twenty or so - which I imagine was largely the problem at the first GA review), but I have just fixed these myself, and am happy to pass the article as meeting the Good Article criteria. Congratulations! Anaxial ( talk) 00:03, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Lt. Frances H. Cameron in CSMC Uniform.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:15, 24 March 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — neuro (talk) (review) 22:15, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading File:Lt. Frances H. Cameron in CSMC Uniform.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

I wish to thank you for your gracious support during my bid for a position as Coordinator of the Military history Wikiproject in the recent March 2009 elections. I was initially apprehensive to stand for election as I was unsure on how well I would be received, but I am pleasantly surprised and delighted to have been deemed worthy to represent my peers within the project. I assure and promise you, I will strive to do my upmost to justify your trust in myself with this esteemed position. Thank you,

According to Wikipedia:Signatures, you should never use a signature for or in your user name. I thought you should know about this in advance before you got in trouble for it. TomStar81 ( Talk) 05:14, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
