Hi Pocopocopocopoco, Could you provide a source that does not need a member log in? It's difficult to check content if a Wikipedian has to register and/or pay. (It especially becomes problematic if a Wikipedian has to do so on a regular basis. Though sometimes it is unavoidable.) It's also difficult to read more about a topic. Btw: could you also attribute the quote to the author(s) rather than only to the think thank/agency. Greeting, Sijo Ripa 23:39, 15 September 2007 (UTC) reply

Hi Pocopocopocopoco,

Thanks for your quick response and the source. Well, first I overlooked that it was a quote. Brackets are seldom used in Wikipedia - and are especially not used when the content is not secondary as it is the case (the difference between perhaps "on purpose" and more likely "accidental" is important). Also, the word "under-loved" seem to be a strange remark to be made by an analyst. Moreover, how can brackets be used in a quote? I mean, brackets are used in writings, not in interviews. But as you provided the source, there's of course not a problem. Sijo Ripa 09:58, 16 September 2007 (UTC) reply

Greetings Cat! I couldn't help but notice from your user page that you "make tons of edits" to a number of language wikipedia's for which you don't seem to have knowledge of the language.

Also, if you don't mind asking, what do you mean by that phrase at the top of your user page, the one that has aiur? Pocopocopocopoco 03:02, 27 September 2007 (UTC) reply

I edit mostly with my bots on those wikis. The idea is that "edits" do not have a weight and I am holding my contribution equal. The Aiur quote is from StarCraft by a Protoss dark templar. -- Cat ^chi? 10:16, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your advice, but I don't remember to have ever asked it. Also, I'm pretty sure that you're genuinely interested in Georgia, but from what I can see your interest is limited to putting exclusively negative info about Georgia, trying to get rid of articles that do not meet your pro-separatist POV, and promoting slanderish articles about Georgia. -- Kober ^Talk 18:11, 7 October 2007 (UTC) reply

As for the Georgians in Turkey. I've already explained that the Turkish government does not recognize Georgians as an ethnic minority and there're no census data available on them. Many Georgian ethnographic accounts put 1-1,5 mil as the number of ethnic Georgians living in Turkey, but I'm afraid you will denounce them as biased and unreliable. -- Kober ^Talk 18:19, 7 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Poco, I think you misunderstood me. I have no personal grievances against you, but your agenda is obvious to me. Anyway, I see no point in further discussion of this issue. Let’s return to the Turkish-Georgian story. The stats included in the Demographics of Turkey article come from the 1965 census, I guess. More than four decades have passed since then. Although assimilation is a powerful factor, Turkey has become more democratic nation and its people are proud to acknowledge their diversity in spite of some state-encouraged efforts to obscure their origins. I have met several Turkish citizens of Georgian extraction who no longer speak their mother tongue but identify themselves as Georgians. Their Turkish and Georgian identities are not conflicting, but complementary. They are loyal citizens of the Turkish state, but respect their ancestry. The Georgian society of Turkey consists of two large communities: the Georgians who are indigenous to NW Turkey and the muhajirs ( Chveneburi) who had fled the Russian persecution to the Ottoman possessions. The estimates of their number vary to a high degree, ranging between 150,000 to 1 million. The former figure is an obvious underestimate, while the latter may seem somewhat exaggerated, but is still quite plausible.-- Kober ^Talk 05:54, 8 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Do you have sources for the European Comunity involvement?-- MariusM 10:15, 16 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Thanks for refference. Should be mentioned however, that Voronin himself never aknowledged that he wanted initially to sign Kozak memorandum. While possible true, this information is coming only from opponents of Voronin. Presence of Russian troups was the main problem of Kozak plan, I think. Russia was involved in 1992 war, it can not be considered a neutral part. European Union is more neutral. Russia made a commitment to withdraw its troups, but it didn't follow the commitment. Transnistrian authorities also have a reputation of not following their commitments. Democratic life for citizens of Transnistria is not possible until Russian troups are still there. The settlement should bring democracy for the people of the region, not to legitimize a regime which is responsible for human right abuses and economic disaster of the region. A settlement which would give to Transnistria the right to influence decisions in Chişinău but will refuse Chişinău to influence decisions in Transnistria is not a democratic one.-- MariusM 21:01, 17 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Greetings Poco. I think we've already discussed that extensively on that article's talk page. Anyway, the user talk page is not an appropriate place to continue the discussion. First, the website says its a blog and I don't understand why you question that. Second, abkhazia.com, and abkhazeti.ru are the NGO websites, not personal blogs. Third, your assertion that resistance.georgia is an expert blog is also not valid. I understand that she has impressed you, but she has always been considered as a political activist close to the Georgian Republican Party (which has recently lost one voter in the person of myself) rather than an expert in any particular field. If you're interested in I can recommend you some Georgian experts and scholars who are considered to be more or less neutral. They don't normally run slurish blogs, but their publications are available on the credible international websites. -- Kober ^Talk 05:28, 23 November 2007 (UTC) reply

Poco, are you trying to blackmail me? If you don't see the difference between the Georgian IDPs' NGO websites and that blog, I cannot help you. I'm sorry.

Should we include it in the articles related to modern Russia and its politics? -- Kober ^Talk 05:40, 24 November 2007 (UTC) reply

Regarding your second question, I don't really known any free Georgian-English translation tool, but I'll to try to search for it through Georgian engines.

I also like IWPR for its realtively neutral journalistic reports. -- Kober ^Talk 05:50, 24 November 2007 (UTC) reply

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s): I don't seem to be able to find the admin who blocked you in very short order; but while I must remind you that the three revert rule is not an entitlement to a set number of reverts and one can be blocked for a single edit in especially contentious areas, your assurance that you will stay away from the disputed article (and, I'll add, related articles) appears sufficient for me to lift a short block. I will, however, restore the block with its duration reset if you stray. Good editing. Request handled by: —  Coren  (talk) 17:18, 29 December 2007 (UTC) reply

1. The blocking admin said that I was edit waring but I was not edit waring at 2007 Georgian demonstrations, I made 1 revert that I didn't self revert in a 24 hour period. [2] The other editor made five. [3] All other edits I made were additions to the article that I were on the heels of an RFC that I had initiated which I had believed reached a consensus.
2. The other editor that was also blocked, user:Kober, received a warning first from the blocking admin that his editing behaviour was wrong before being blocked. I never received any such warning or any indication that my editing behaviour was wrong despite being in communcation with the blocking admin over this issue. In fact, if you read the blocking admins response in the link I provided, he says "Thanks for the report, by the way. It shows that you truly care about helping to build a better encyclopedia."
3. My last edit to the article in question was a self-revert. [4] This is not the actions of a revert warrior.
4. If unblocked, I promise to stay away from that article or any related articles for the remainder of the 24 hour period. There are plenty of unrelated articles which I can and plan to contribute during that period. Thanks in advance Pocopocopocopoco ( talk) 16:50, 29 December 2007 (UTC) reply

To answer your questions. There are two types of International recognition.

1- International recognition under International law.

A country has this when it signs international legal treaties and international agreements with other countries. Transnistria has many examples of this and is absolutely recognised as an independent state under international law. It even signs at inter-presidential level which is the ultimate recognition under International law. This is known as 'international legal personality'.

THis International recognition is the main international recognition. See below for the secondary and less meaningful type,

2 Full and Partial Diplomatic Relations

Full diplomatic relations-

When a country is established it attains International Legal Personality, it will then normally invite other countries to formalise international diplomatic status, this is not international recognition but more of a recognising and approval of it.

The Falkland Islands are a perfect example.

Very few countries in that part of the world recognise Britian's claim and control, and many openly support Argentina's territorial claim on the Island. At one point, the UN countries were divided 50/50 on its status. Therefore the Islands were partly recognised as being part of Argentina and also Partly recognised as part of UK....thus the word 'International recogition' was non concrete The only international recognition that mattered was that of who controled the territory under international law. This could only be the de-facto administration - The British.

To sort out the confusion it was determined that under International Law the over-riding consideration is that the de-facto legal status holds precedent over de-jure claims, however strongly supported.

So Falklands Islands are Internationally recognised as being part of UK, however dozens of countires believe the Islands lie within the Territorial Integrity of Argentina. But on wiki we should never state the FI are part of Argentina. Likewise it is not correct to say PMR is part of Moldova.

In Transnistria's case , countries are obliged not to form such diplomatic station while negotiatons are ongoing, yet under international law, the right to self determination is clearly set out, so there is strictly speaking nothing stopping anyone, but common practice is to hold off while disputes unravel themselves. Partial diplomatic Recogition.

This is when countries engage as equal status states and enter international agreements and discussion, Transnistria already has this with most countries.

No worries. Did you see my comment on Talk:UN Security Resolutions on the Nagorno-Karabakh War?

I realise why you wanted it, and I consider it reasonable that you can see the full history, unless there are serious issues that would prevent them from being undeleted. Note that there is no need to ask arbcom to undelete; you just need to find an admin who has time to figure out what you are talking about. I've undeleted the history to each of those resolutions [6], so the only Ehud contribution that is still deleted is a single change to this article Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Menachem Nissel. The article was created by Jeremy12201986 on 23:52, 4 July 2007. The change Ehud made was on "18:35, 22 July 2007", and it consisted of significantly expanding the stub, adding roughly 1100 bytes, but the added text was about a book "Rigshei Lev" written by the person, so Ehud's added text was removed by DLand on 14:17, 9 August 2007. I would rather not undelete that page, even to userfy it, but if you think it is necessary, I will.

The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Vermillion Energy Trust seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Vermillion Energy Trust, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

I think you were being very unfair... the auction had only been underway for a few hours at this point: "I'm inclined to agree with Hoary for now with no predjudice to adding this information later if other events happen that make it more notable. It doesn't seem encyclopedic to me to add every short little relationship that notable people may have. To top things off, Jimbo's stuff isn't really selling for that much, look at the t-shirt, the highest bid is $34. [6] Also, check out the bidder as well. It would have sold for more if this event was notable. Pocopocopocopoco (talk) 04:34, 3 March 2008 (UTC)"

This has happened to me before. You didn't spam anything, the filer hates a link that already is there.

Based on the whole page. Or perhaps it is in the article itself. (I could be wrong, as in both instances I was editing in the article space.) - Warthog Demon 02:50, 23 March 2008 (UTC) reply

I can see that Ldingley was indef blocked, but can you provide me a link to the banning discussion? _GB ^{T/ C} 16:57, 12 April 2008 (UTC) reply

Thank you for that - there's a difference, though, between a block and a ban. A block is a technical measure where an admin removes the ability of an editor to edit for a period of time, or indefinitely. A ban is a community decision that an editor may not contribute to all or a part of the encyclopaedia. Whilst contributions of banned users may be deleted or reverted on sight, WP:BAN wouldn't appear to apply here, I don't think. _GB ^{T/ C} 17:14, 12 April 2008 (UTC) reply

I just want to remind you that this kind of stalking [8] is considered as Wikipedia harassment according to the guideline on Wikistalking: "The term "wiki-stalking" has been coined to describe following a contributor around the wiki, editing the same articles as the target, with the intent of causing annoyance or distress to another contributor." Therefore, before i report you to admins (if this continues), i want to kindly remind you to stop stalking my user name or following my contributions.

As you seem to be engaged in edit warring in an area covered by an arbitration committee case, this is to be your warning that discretionary sanctions, as provided in this case may be applied to you. Specifically, further edit warring may lead to a block from editing, or a temporary ban from editing articles on which edit wars have taken place. Please make sure to use dispute resolution rather than engaging in repeated reverts. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 17:23, 1 June 2008 (UTC) reply

I note the following reverts: [9], [10], [11], and [12]. The other editor is also edit warring, so both of you have been warned. However, neither the fact that the other editor is edit warring nor the fact that you technically may have avoided 3RR makes the behavior acceptable. If you disagree with him, please use dispute resolution, not repeated reverts. The warning stands as written. If you believe it to be incorrect, you may see the ruling linked to for the appropriate mechanisms of appeal. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 17:37, 1 June 2008 (UTC) reply

On the final edit, I shall grant you, you are correct, those had never been added before. However, removals are reverts. If you had removed the content right after the editor who added it had done so, it would have been a clear revert. It is no less so since you did so later on. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 18:08, 1 June 2008 (UTC) reply

Again, the warning stands as it was written. If you should wish to appeal it, the relevant case page linked above contains procedures by which you may do so. I do not intend to remove the warning. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 20:33, 1 June 2008 (UTC) reply

Sorry to template-warning an apparent regular, there. But really, this is your final warning. Stop blanking content with no explanation. Tan | 39 03:39, 12 June 2008 (UTC) reply

Well, hm. You are correct that I might have not looked far enough, but it seems that the more I look, the more you two are just edit warring anyways - and that needs to stop. You are no stranger to warnings about such things; Seraphim warned you just a week and a half ago above. However, in the spirit of things, I apologize for accusing you of "blanking content without reason" - this was confusing and probably not true. I removed the obvious "stop hand" from the above message, and I will also drop a message on the other's talk page, to be fair. Tan | 39 03:24, 13 June 2008 (UTC) reply

I will certainly be happy to have a look at the dispute and assist as much as possible in bringing it to a resolution, but please do keep in mind that admins are no more empowered than any other editor to decide who is "right" in a content dispute. I would, however, encourage everyone involved to stop edit warring, as that tends not to resolve the dispute, and tends to lead this way. Discussion is always the best way to resolve disputes, and if the sides still can't come to an agreement, we certainly have dispute resolution for assistance from mediation or to invite uninvolved editors to comment on the matter. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 15:28, 15 June 2008 (UTC) reply

I'm not accusing you (or for that matter anyone in particular) of edit-warring, if I were giving a specific warning to you I certainly would have made that clear. Just some general advice, I certainly know how these situations can become heated before we know it. As to the debate, I am quite frankly finding my eyes crossing as I try to untangle the back-and-forth going on, so I certainly couldn't offer any kind of informed advice. I did make a request on the thread that I believe might help clarify things, would you mind laying out your viewpoints there? I think if we can get a summary without so much arguing back and forth, perhaps we can begin to make some progress. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 03:44, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply

Notice: Under the terms of Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan 2, any editor who edits articles which relate to the region of Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iran and the ethnic and historical issues related to that area in an aggressive point of view manner marked by incivility may be placed under several editing restrictions, by notice on that editor's talk page. This notice is to remind you that you are listed as one of the users placed under supervision. I would like to remind you that are you are placed under the following restricitons:

1. Revert limitation (formerly known as revert parole). You are limited to one revert per page per week, excepting obvious vandalism, and are required to discuss any content reversions on the page's talk page.
2. Supervised editing (formerly known as probation). You may be banned by any administrator from editing any or all articles which relate to the region of Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iran and the ethnic and historical issues related to that area should you fail to maintain a reasonable degree of civility in your interactions with one another concerning disputes which may arise.
3. Civility supervision (formerly known as civility parole). If you make any edits which are judged by an administrator to be uncivil, personal attacks, or assumptions of bad faith, then you may be blocked for a short time of up to one week for repeat offenses.

You made three reverts in the same week here, here, and here at Sheylanli tribe. I am going to let it slide this time, but from now on please follow the terms of your editing restrictions. Gulmammad has been reminded as well.

Enforcement: Violations of limitations, supervision, or bans imposed by the remedies in this case may be enforced by brief blocks of up to a week in the event of repeat violations. After 5 blocks the maximum block period shall increase to one year.

Note: This notice is not effective unless given by an administrator and logged here. Khoi khoi 19:35, 6 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Poco, I'm afraid you're mistaken. I have spoken with Seraphimblade, and although I agree that this was not sufficient nor clear enough, he has clarified that it was indeed the warning/notice that the case applies to those areas. He has also said that when he warned you and Gulmammad, that he put both of you on the ArbCom case list at that time, as well. You can contact him if you are unclear on the matter, but you are definitely listed here, there is no dispute about that. Regardless, even though both of you were unaware of it, please be aware of it now. As far as I'm concerned, the editing restrictions start today, so please read them carefully so that you don't violate them. If you believe that you shouldn't have been put on the list, you can make an appeal of this sanction here. But for now both you and Gulmammad are on editing restrictions. I have examined both of your edits, and both of you have been edit warring against one of another. That is why both of you are now restricted to one revert per week, etc. Khoi khoi 21:49, 7 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Sorry for my late response. I have spoken with Seraphimblade. He has stated that he definitely disagrees that you are not subject to the restrictions. He has also said that both you and Gulmammad were warned that future misbehavior would lead to sanctions, and since you're both involved, both of you are being sanctioned. He left a note on your talk pages so I presume that you're aware of the ArbCom case and its implications. If you have any further questions you can leave a message on Seraphimblade's or my talk page.

Hi. You nominated several articles for deletion recently, which were associated with the Khojaly Massacre article. I don't think that you should have done this. For one thing, there's a conflict going on between you and a couple of other people over the use of the word 'massacre' versus 'genocide'. The redirect from 'genocide' after you moved the page was not vandalism. Please be cautious in your use of the db templates, okay?

Most of those articles were copies of existing articles about villages in the Ordubad Rayon of Azerbaijan, except they had their (alternative?) Armenian names in the headings. I retrieved the current names and directed them under proper headings, as much as it was possible. Morever, the articles constisted of two or three biased statements, were lacking sources, were mass-created by a recently activated account, and were POV, as they listed clearly Azerbaijani villages under 'Cities, towns and villages of Armenia.'

Hi, thanks for your message. I am familiar with WP:NAC (having done over 70 closures), and whilst it is based on WP:DPR, is still an essay, and whilst it is one that I certainly take heed of and adhere to to some extent I do not take it as the word of God. WP:SNOW is based on the future, and the inevitability of a certain closure pre-empting the need for further discussion. By that point there were four solid keeps with good rationales, and a fifth which suggested snowball keep, which I agreed with. WP:NAC suggests over six votes and over one day's listing. I would have voted keep for what it was worth as well, so that makes six, and it was one day and one hour old. The statistics are irrelevant to me - it was clear that the consensus would have been to keep the article. There was no reason why I shouldn't just help in clearing up potential backlogs by closing it early. Any other questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

The page you point to refers to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names), which says:

When a widely accepted English name, in a modern context, exists for a place, we should use it. This will often be identical in form to the local name (as with Paris or Berlin), but in many cases it will differ (Germany rather than Deutschland, Rome rather than Roma, Hanover rather than Hannover, Meissen rather than Meißen). If a native name is more often used in English sources than a corresponding English name, then use the native name. An example is Livorno, which is now known more widely under its native name than under the English name "Leghorn".

If no name can be shown to be widely accepted in English, use the local name.

If you think that a widely accepted English name exists for any of the places that I have created articles for under the local name, please feel free to move them as appropriate. Most of those places are either historical and not much is used but the Latin form even in English, or rather small where no version is widely accepted in English different than the local name. A quick google sanity check will often show that the local name is more widely used than the older English one (if such there be), as exemplified by Leghorn/Livorno and Gdansk/Danzig...

And I want to add that we're getting more serious at RFA about taking a hard look at people who seem to be dropping by and asking questions that really have nothing to do with the RFA at hand, but represent a kind of forum shopping. I have my doubts about the question you just asked in a recent RFA, but anyone is entitled to ask a question or two. If it becomes 3 or 4 different RFAs where you bring up questions that have nothing to do with RFA and everything to do with ArbCom, then I'll have some questions to ask. - Dan Dank55 ( push to talk) 03:42, 27 February 2009 (UTC) reply

Following Digwuren is a very poor idea. He was banned for a year, and is likely to be banned again if he continues his present disruptive editing tactics which include retaliation, intimidation, and fanning the flames of nationalistic disputes. Digwuren, consider yourself warned. Further instigation will be met with a block. The WP:AE thread was reviewed and my decision was upheld by the reviewing administrators.

And please review the South Ossetia Talkpage. Now we have 200 kilometers of Russian Tanks, and did you know that according to Svoboda News, after all it's a Russian source so it must be credible, Georgia is still in control of South Ossetia?! You really learn new stuff, it's amazing. Oh and there's a vote going on. Also, there was a recent "debate" about whether Abkhaz People and Ossetians should be called Abkhaz People and Ossetians, rather then Separatists, and of course in order to be considered a casualty, being merely killed's not enough, you have to be tortured too. Luckily, all that was/is being taken care of, but you still get a good laugh at all the attempts. Welcome back :D HistoricWarrior007 ( talk) 08:39, 17 March 2009 (UTC) reply

Hey, I am doing research for the Australia-Russia relations article I am working on in my userspace, and I came an article written by Elena Govor, a research fellow at Australian National University in Canberra relating to Ossetian ANZACs. It's quite an interesting article, and I hope you might find it useful for 'something' at 'some' stage. Cheers -- Russavia ^Dialogue 19:27, 6 April 2009 (UTC) reply

Hi Pocopocopocopoco . My name is Mike Lyons and I am a doctoral student at Indiana University. I am conducting research on the writing and editing of high traffic current events articles on Wikipedia. I have noticed in the talk page archives at 2008 South Ossetia war that you have contributed to the editing or maintenance of the article. I was hoping you would agree to fill out a brief survey about your experience. This study aims to help expand our thinking about collaborative knowledge production. Believe me I share your likely disdain for surveys but your participation would be immensely helpful in making the study a success. A link to the survey is included below. An explanation of my project is included with the survey.

The EU Report came out, and to no surprise, it stated: "An international fact-finding mission headed by Swiss diplomat Heidi Tagliavini concludes that Georgia started the 2008 South Ossetia war and that Russia answered by using excessive measures."

Hi,

I noticed you listed yourself as a participant of the Energy WikiProject.

There are 2 new outlines in this area that attempt to consolidate Wikipedia's coverage of their respective subjects, gathering and organizing the articles about them into one place and including descriptions for convenience. The purposes of these outlines are to make it easier for readers to survey or review a whole subject, and to choose from Wikipedia's many articles about it.

The new energy outlines are:

• Outline of solar energy
• Outline of wind energy

Please take a look at them, and....

if you spot missing topics, add them in.

if you can, improve the descriptions.

add missing descriptions.

show parent-offspring relationships (with indents).

fix errors.

For more information about the format and functions of outlines, see Wikipedia:Outlines.

Building outlines of existing material (such as Wikipedia) is called " reverse outlining". Reverse outlines are useful as a revision tool, for identifying gaps in coverage and for spotting poor structuring.

Revising a work with multiple articles (such as Wikipedia) is a little different than revising a paper. But the general principles are the same...

As you develop these outlines, you may notice things about the articles they organize. Like what topics are not adequately covered, better ways to structure and present the material, awkward titles, articles that need splitting, article sections lacking {{ Main}} links, etc.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me on my talk page or at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Outlines.

Thank you. Sincerely, The Transhumanist 00:55, 2 June 2012 (UTC) reply

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

• updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
• creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

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) reply

A tag has been placed on Hero Certified Burgers, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 "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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

As we approach the end of the year, the Military History project is looking to recognise editors who have made a real difference. Each year we do this by bestowing two awards: the Military Historian of the Year and the Military History Newcomer of the Year. The co-ordinators invite all project members to get involved by nominating any editor they feel merits recognition for their contributions to the project. Nominations for both awards are open between 00:01 on 2 December 2017 and 23:59 on 15 December 2017. After this, a 14-day voting period will follow commencing at 00:01 on 16 December 2017. Nominations and voting will take place on the main project talkpage: here and here. Thank you for your time.

Greetings,

"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.
