There is no mention of: Georgian National Guard, Sioni, Cholokashvili, Katharinenfeld, Makashvili, Sadakhlo, Ayrum, Tsulukidze, Privolnoye, Korolkov, Troitskoe, Lamballo, and the numbers 100, 200, 560, 600, 4,000, 6,000, 6,500 on the Andersen or Lang sources.

You can't "quick research" on that article so you have to actualy read it, preferably download to make it easier for oneself as I did.

To the figures found in the section "Escalation of the Conflict: Uprising in Lori and Armenian Offensive "

Pages 26 - 45

Page 27

"....Thus the Georgian forces in Sanain-Alaverdi area found themselves in a very difficult situation. The first group consisting of the Sanain detachment of the Provincial Battalion (60 infantrymen) and an armoured train with the team – blocked in the village of Sanain. The second group - three companies of the 5th Infantry Regiment, one company of the 6th Infantry Regiment, an artillery battery, two mortar platoons and the second armoured train (about 600 men, in total) took defensive positions in Alaverdi, at the bottom of the Debed (Borchala) River gorge surrounded by overwhelming numbers of Armenian troops that included the 4th and the 6th regiments of the 2nd Armenian Rifle Division, battalions of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Armenian Rifle Division, three squadrons of the Mounted Brigade and unites of local Armenian militia (at least 4.000 men altogether plus 20 artillery pieces)46. On December 14 facing the above situation Tsulukidze ordered evacuation of both Sanain and Alaverdi and break through enemy lines towards Sadakhlo station. ...." with ref

Pages 27 - 28

"...In the county of Akhalkalaki the situation was radically different from Lori, largely because the local Armenian population did not seem to object to being under Georgian jurisdiction, and refrained from rebelling against Georgian troops. Also ethnic Russian Dukhobors who inhabited the southern part of the disputed county, were not only loyal to the Georgian government, but preferred Georgian adminstration to the Armenian one49. One could also assume that the county enjoyed relative stability due to the presence of quite significant Georgian forces (more than 6 000 men) under command of General Ilia Makashvili (Makaev)..."

Pages 28 - 29

"...Meanwhile, the new Armenian offensive began in the eastern zone of the conflict. In the early morning of December 14, the units of the 4th, 5th and 6th Armenian Regiments under the command of Colonels Levon Ter-Nikogosov, Nesterovsky and Korolkov, advanced in three columns towards the line Vorontsovka – Privolnoye – Opreti - Ayrum. The total strength of attacking force, including reserves, was about
6000 infantry and 640 cavalry with 26 machine-guns and 7 mountain guns, not including several thousand armed rebels..."

Note:I actualy gave a slightly lower figure there.

Page 29

"...By that time Armenian left flank under the command of Ter-Nikogosov advanced in the direction of BolnisKhachen and Ekaterinenfeld (Ekaterinovka), and on the right flank the troops of Korolkov by a surprise maneuver took over the Ayrum station. As a result of the two-day long Ayrum operation, Georgian units of the 5th and 6th Regiments almost miraculously managed to escape from the encirclement, losing more than 500 men killed, wounded and taken prisoner and leaving behind 25 machine guns and 2 cannons54...."

Note I took that number initialy, but then replaced it with Hovannian's figure of 560 killed, wounded and taken prisoner.

The other numbers 100, 200 I don't know on which you are exactly referring to because there are several such figures in both Andersen's and Hovannian's material. Troop numbers and casualties. For troop numbers for instance, there is:

Page 29

"...On December 18, the forces of Tsulukidze (about 200 men strong, not including sick and wounded) entrenched in the foothills around the village and station of Sadakhlo..."

Hovannian in his book for instance states that the Armenian's lost about 200 men when the Georgians repulsed the Armenian army from Shulaveri for instance and 100 men in an earlier engagement.

Btw, you reverted the edit allready anyway without waiting for anyone to reply which is not appreciated, not that your edit is valid anyway. TheMightyGeneral ( talk) 05:01, 12 May 2016 (UTC) reply

I said cite Lang's book, not an article that anyone could write. Also I checked those pages, and Andersen himself does not cite any books for most of this information. -- Oatitonimly ( talk) 05:09, 12 May 2016 (UTC) reply

Nope you didn't. Nice try. You asked exactly for the figures I stated to have taken from Andersen and I cited the figures from Andersen. Regarding Lang, read the excert from his book. I used that one mainly to support both Hovannian's and Andersen's work which both state exactly when and where the conflict ended. So again, no valid arguiments and excuses to what I now consider vandalism from your side. TheMightyGeneral ( talk) 05:13, 12 May 2016 (UTC) reply

I just both cited and gave page numbers ....

Nobody cited an entire book. Those are core information about the conflict events from both an article written by Andersen and a book written by Hovannian although I used Andersen as base because it's a more neutral source. You are not helping yourself. TheMightyGeneral ( talk) 05:19, 12 May 2016 (UTC) reply

You have not given a single page number or reliable source. Oatitonimly ( talk) 05:27, 12 May 2016 (UTC) reply

Where are you getting " Georgian National Guard, Sioni, Cholokashvili, Katharinenfeld, Makashvili, Sadakhlo, Ayrum, Tsulukidze, Privolnoye, Korolkov, Troitskoe, Lamballo" from? These are in neither the Andersen nor Lang sources. -- Oatitonimly ( talk) 05:33, 12 May 2016 (UTC) reply

You can read right .... ? I just cited all the numbers from Andresen's article a few lines above with the exact page numbers. Those are information from Andersen's article. Again, read the article or stop bothering. I have allready written on which pages you find the numbers. In the exact pages 26 - 45 you find the information on those locations and persons. The only thing you need is to read the article. I suspect you're either blatantly lying or tried to use the search function ( strg+F - which doesn't work on that site - hence you should download it maybe as I did .... ) You are really not helping your cause right now, especialy when not providing a single valid argument to why you are reverting and deleting sourced material. You also completly ignore the argument to why I edited that section. The sources I provide besides Andersen are Lang and Hovannian. I'd say more than reliable. Now please refrain from further deleting sourced content.

Btw why would you give "was indecicive" as reason to revert my edit ? nobody argues the fact that it was indecicive. In fact the reason I edited is exactly to point that out. Because otehrwise it seemed like a full fledged Armenian victory which it a ) wasn't and b ) also didn't stop 30km away from Tbilisi, but in Sadakhlo near the nowdays Armenian border, when the Gerogians pushed the Armenians out of Shulaveri wich itself was as far as 60km away from the capital allready.

You prefer only Hovannian instead ? than please actualy read his book .... TheMightyGeneral ( talk) 05:37, 12 May 2016 (UTC) reply

I think you are both missing a more important point. The "By December 25 they had reached positions 30 miles from Tbilisi before being defeated by the Georgian army at Shulaveri" wording of the content falsely suggests that there was an actual campaign plan by Armenia to capture Tbilisi, and that Armenian forces were advancing to do this until they were halted by a defeat at Shulaveri. The sources do not say such a thing. Tiptoethrutheminefield ( talk) 18:41, 12 May 2016 (UTC) reply

It was not the primary goal of the Armenians at least but the source states that it was considered as an option by them, if certain demands were not met ( like the transfer of Akhalkalaki to Armenia ). It was also regarded an immediate threat by the Georgians, especialy since there were issues mobilising a force outside of Akhalkalaki strong enough to at least prevent any further advance and eventualy counteract, which consequently did happen. I am definitly open to a more neutral and less misleading text/edit here but I do not see an issue with my edit regarding that though. TheMightyGeneral ( talk) 19:07, 12 May 2016 (UTC) reply

EDIT: so I made what I think is a more clarifying and less misleading edit that both sides can agree on. I'd welcome a reply from Oatitonimly as well and hope it settles this dispute here. TheMightyGeneral ( talk) 19:30, 12 May 2016 (UTC) reply

Alright, I don't care what you do to the war article for now because it's a stub anyway, but would you please remove your edits on the republic? You clutter too much confusing information into what is just supposed to be a short description. Shulaveri wasn't even the last major confrontation nor did it define the current borders. Also Tiflis was the correct spelling until 1930. -- Oatitonimly ( talk) 03:09, 15 May 2016 (UTC) reply

I am not the only one editing that article and fine I've replaced the "decicive ( despite the fact it actualy was one - but arguable not the - and despite the fact it clearly states that the fighting went on near the nowdays Armenian border ) with "a major" battle. I won't revert it because it is a short description truer to the events. Reverting it leads us back to the initial version which is misleading and doesn't give you a brief picture about how things actualy went down, rather implying that the war only stopped when the Armenian Army was 30km away from Tbilisi, which is not true. TheMightyGeneral ( talk) 06:56, 15 May 2016 (UTC) reply

No, it's not an accurate description at all. Georgia did not "score a few gains", the war never took place in the Armenian Republic. I merely said the war's extent was that distance to Tiflis. You however are distorting and nitpicking sources to imply the Armenia was sent back by some non-existing Georgian decisive victory, when in fact it was solely British threats. Anyone who reads this will have the impression Georgians pushed that Armenians out, which is a lie. -- Oatitonimly ( talk) 19:37, 16 May 2016 (UTC) reply

About the "gains". It has nothing to do with the "land gains in Armenian Republic" I merely take from Hovannisian's style of writing, basicaly meant successes, while he describes them as gains in general.

About Shulaveri. There is no "non-existing" anything. You have it clearly stated in three different works. While Andersen describes it more in detail and you may call it POV, dubious or whatever, I think you will find it hard to discard Hovannisian, as he also acknowledges the fact that the Shulaveri operation was a decicive one for the Georgians, pushing the Armenians out of the area, not just Shulaveri and 2 days later almost beyond Sadakhlo. I'll quote.

From Hovannisian's The Republic of Armenia: The first year, 1918-1919 p.118:

"...On the twenty-eight, however, General Mazniev ordered a 3,500-man battle group to a full-scale attack and by nightfall had retrieved Shulaver and several smaller villages and had inflicted nearly two hundred casualties upon the Armenians. At long last Georgia tasted victory. For the next two days there ensured a brisk contest for control of the village of Sadakhlu. The village changed hands several times untill at last the Armenians entranched themselves at the station and the Georgians in the town...."

The closest the Armenians came to Tbilisi was Belyi-Kliuch - nowdays known as Tetritsqaro, 30km away from Tbilisi. Hovannisian states that the Armenian offensive had reached it's climax at that point, on December 24. The Georgian's first offensive took place around that area enclosing Katharingenfeld ( nowdays known as Bolnisi ) pushing out Armenian pockets, read Andersen more detailed description on that. The first major battle during the Georgian counteroffensive was in and around Shulaveri, as also described by Hovannisian and Andersen and briefly mentioned by Lang. You are still denying that and I don't get how. Nobody said anything about a "decicive victory" or "major victory". The Georgians won a "major / decicive battle" - which it was, arguably the largest engagement in that war, as it was also not limited to Shulaveri but the villages around it. Both armies ( the first time the Georgians had amassed what you'd call an army or as Hovannisian puts it: army-group ) clashed in that area. Then they finaly clashed at Sadakhlo.

What kind of victory it was is debatable but it was a decicive battle. The Armenian army got repulsed from that area and had to regroup and also failed to take Sadakhlo a few days later.

Again no. The Armenians stopped because both sides signed a truce which was in effect not earlier than 1 January 1919 and in fact the Georgians were far more dissatisfied and dissaproving with the British peace conditions. Just stating that the Armenian army stood 30km from Tbilisi and that's where the war practicaly and solely due to British "threats" (what "threats" are you even referring to .... ?? - the only threat the Armenians received was from the Georgian delegation amidst the peace talks) ended is a lie. In fact it was rather Georgia that saw itself threatened by the British, especialy with the establishment of British controlled neutral zones.

I also clearly stated the military clashes ultimately resulted in a stalemate at Sadakhlo, not that the Georgian's pushed the Armenians back to Yerevan (eventhough the Georgians liked to claim they would have pushed towards Yerevan if it wasn't for the peace talks according to Hovannisian .... The Armenian army only withdrew after a British peacekeeping contingent arrived in Sadakhlo. While the Georgian army withdrew earlier. TheMightyGeneral ( talk) 23:00, 16 May 2016 (UTC) reply

This message was sent as a courtesy reminder to all active members of the Military History WikiProject.

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:

• tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
• 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.

Hey @ ZUKAGRAD: ! looks good so far, look forward to the finished article. One thing I would definitly add is maybe the time period, like 1991 to 2001 or a date in which there were dramatic changes. Like until reforms, the acquirement of T-72 fleet, it's modernization etc. It seems there were lots of different and crazy weapons in the Georgian arsenal back in the 1990s, I even remember to have seen a photo with a combatant / soldier carying a scoped M16 rifle. But maybe that was internal forces. Omega unit for instance used MP5 in 1993. Maybe the military also had H&K weapons. To be honest, I wasn't really into that period yet.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Colchis. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Drmies ( talk) 01:55, 2 November 2017 (UTC) reply

You may not edit-war to establish your preferred version, and if multiple editors are telling you that there is a policy-based problem with your edits, it is probably because there's a policy-based problem with your edits. If you had not made that last revert, you would probably not have been blocked. Acroterion (talk) 02:09, 2 November 2017 (UTC) reply

• Oh, nobody is saying "enemy"--but two editors removed that information, and all you had to say was "I don't agree". You clearly broke the 3R line. The block was well-earned. And that's setting aside the whole thing about the sourcing and the content, which were both atrocious. Drmies ( talk) 03:12, 2 November 2017 (UTC) reply
• Sorry but that is just false. First of all, "I don't agree" is not what I stated. I stated that you don't give valid reasons. Your argument was not "3R line" .... but "unreliable sources", direct sources are not unreliable. You can't condemn and delete an entire section just because you feel that one website source is written in poor English. Is that really the reasoning wikipedia applies nowadays ? TheMightyGeneral ( talk) 03:17, 2 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • You continue to misunderstand; I think English is not your first language. I never said anything about a website being in poor English. I said the website was an unreliable source, and that the text in our article was in poor English (not "I feel"--it was in poor English). I also didn't say anything about 3R as an argument because, duh, that's not an argument to revert. Your breaking the red line of 3R was an argument for blocking. If you hadn't reverted a fourth time you might not have been blocked. Drmies ( talk) 03:21, 2 November 2017 (UTC) reply
• No I really don't. English is indeed not my first language but I understand it perfectly well. Yeah, I also never argued with a simple statement like "I don't agree" but I'm being misquoted anyway so - I actualy specified and explained for the xth time to why your edit makes no sense from a purely logical POV. So what exactly was in poor English there, can you elaborate at least ? because that is your primary argument for deleting chunks of sourced information. That one was rather irony but yeah I was a little too into it +3R and the consequence is technicaly justified but really you can keep such comments for yourself and my request still stands. TheMightyGeneral ( talk) 03:53, 2 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Why are you saying that the poor English was the primary argument? It wasn't. I will be happy to explain, but I don't answer loaded questions. I think you are putting these words into my mouth so you don't have to pay attention to the other editor's three or four policy-based reasons. So here we go:

1. the English is poor. "Historical Colchis and its relation to Greek mythology has influenced contemporary popular culture with the result of several movies and miniseries as well as fictional depictions" is grammatically incorrect. I don't know what "historical" Colchis is--as opposed to "fictional" Colchis? Or did you mean "historically", which is redundant? Also, "contemporary" with who? "Historical Colchis"? or you? or the last decade? "With the result of" is ungrammatical.
2. for the nth time, this is a primary source, and so are this and this, making "bears some resemblance" pure original research. If you don't understand what the problem is with that, you really shouldn't be editing here.
3. same with Percy Jackson, where you cite a primary source and then "Goodreads", which is as about as far from a reliable source as one can get.
4. "In the 1963 film" is poor writing--which film? Also, you're citing that moviejourneys website again--not a reliable source. And that a miniseries was based on the movie is irrelevant in this article, and there also you're just citing some website. That's fine for Wikia, but not here.
5. In the last one, "Kingdom of Colchis" is unclear. The REAL kingdom? And again you're citing two websites, not reliable sources, so there is no indication that this matters at all.

You should really, REALLY read WP:RS and WP:OR, besides WP:RECENTISM, WP:TRIVIA, WP:FANCRUFT, WP:UNDUE, already suggested to you by Harizotoh9. So that my edit "makes no sense from a logical POV" is just complete nonsense from the point of view of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Now, I've wasted enough time on this. If you can't judge what reliable sources are and can't control yourself, please stay away from this article, which is already bad enough. Drmies ( talk) 14:54, 2 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Are you done with your silly ego trip ? I naturaly agree that the article is in poor shape and definitly needs to expand with much more researched historical content and be sourced adequately or at all in the first place. But why don't you tackle that first rather than the actualy few sourced segments of the article .... ? It literaly is not. Redundancy is no argument for complete deletion, neither is not knowing what "contemporary" means. Maybe English isn't your first language either ? Nope, only two of those are ... I literaly linked "In the 1963 film" with a wikipedia article. If you are that lazy why even bother in the first place .... and also waste MY time as well as yours ? You basicaly accuse me of what you've been doing consistently on this issue now and the edit history doesn't lie. Honestly, at this point due to your behavior I don't care what you think. You act very pompous. I am very well aware of these guidelines and you should read them thoroughly yourself in the first place especialy when granted admin privileges. Using primary sources does not go against WP:RS at all, there are regulations on when or how and your reasoning for deletion wasn't even specified or clear in your edits and one complete deletion was reasoned with "poor English" .... using primary sources is not forbidden, however it is preferred to back them up with secondary sources. The only claim that holds somewhat ground is WP:OR, fine. It's a matter of debate but I would of taken care of it sooner or later. Deleting it entirely is not productive editing, especialy without the will to discuss. Further WP:TRIVIA is a complex matter and you used "trivia" as another argument for deletion. Again, read WP:TRIVIA thoroughly because trivia per se isn't forbidden or unwelcome at all as long as it has a purpose including mention of media and pop-culture. The entire issue isn't black and white in the first place, yet conclusions are dropped by people here like a hammer. Complex guidelines don't work like that. WP:FANCRUFT doesn't apply and also is yet another issue you mix with consent policy. There is no firm policy on it to begin with and deleting such things if given are controvesial if anything. You do without even discussing. I openly suggest that user Drmies activities on this issue are reviewed by another admin. It is less a personal grudge than it is a genuine concern for the treatment of wikipedia users. It is also not an individual phenomenon. TheMightyGeneral ( talk) 16:08, 2 November 2017 (UTC) reply

• Note from blocking admin More than three reverts is a bright line violation: 90% of the time, more than three reverts with anything other than clear-cut vandalism or a violation of the biographies of living persons policy will earn a block. Admins are not supposed to use the occasion to adjudicate a dispute - four reverts is a behavioral issue causing disruption to the encyclopedia and is dealt with accordingly. You were clearly warned about edit-warring and chose to continue your disruptive behavior. You must understand that you violated a community norm by edit-warring, and are blocked as a result. A conviction on your part that you're right doesn't entitle you to edit-war, nor does it entitle you to ignore other editors who are trying to advise you on Wikipedia editing policies. If this behavior recurs, subsequent blocks will be longer. This is long-established Wikipedia procedure, and it works. Please take this incident seriously - edit-warring is not tolerated. Acroterion (talk) 01:16, 3 November 2017 (UTC) reply

• Noone disputes the technical WP:3RR violation. I can still request a review and I did it primarily to bring this entire affair to other peoples ( preferably other admins ) attention. I didn't even have any chance to react and give my position. Two users, at least one admin acted against me almost in suspicious harmony on the "dispute" and you instantanously blocked me after the 4th revert. I don't judge you for that. The block is naturaly justified. But the implication that I feel entitled to wage edit wars for the sake of instead of actualy processing and considering why I do it - because I consider it unjustified for reasons stated which are valid - and need to listen to people who don't properly grasp said guidelines and policies or just very narrow mindedly is plain impudent. I don't know what else to call it. The guidelines I will always take seriously. This behaviour however, I can not. TheMightyGeneral ( talk) 01:56, 3 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Thank you for understanding the position with respect to edit-warring. The way disputes are resolved is through discussion and consensus, which doesn't take place in a flurry of reverts. Next time use the talkpage, and work to gain consensus for your edits as policy demands. You appear to be attributing a lack of good faith to those with whom you disagree - that isn't appropriate. I disagree with lots of people, both on Wikipedia and in real life. Sometimes I'm wrong, sometimes they're wrong. Sometimes nobody's wrong. But (vandals aside) I very rarely encounter true bad faith, and this isn't one of those cases. A superficial reading of the comments concerning your edits shows good-faith concern over your edits and their compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please make an effort to constructively engage those concerns once your block is over. Please do not treat other editors as adversaries. Acroterion (talk) 02:06, 3 November 2017 (UTC) reply

• My edit is relentlessly treated and proclaimed as nonsense. I put effort into it and finding alternative-to-direct sources on these particular information is partialy very hard but I try and most of my work is unfinished. I take more time for that than others. Is it essential to the article ? no. Is it a violation against wiki principles and guidelines to have something like that on a historical article ? no. There certainly is no strict or firm policy and imo there shouldn't be as long as it's sourced and subject for improvement. Everything else should be discussed. I don't approve of the blunt deletion of something like that just because some other users don't like it or consider it un-wiki with vague invalid argument. That is what I consider inappropraite and an unfaithful use of privileges and edit rights. I understand your position, but I simply don't agree on downplaying what is actualy unproductive. That is the problem. Thank you for taking your time. I know you are trying to de-escalate a situation. But there is no situation and anything to de-escalate. I don't see anyone as actual adversaries merely because they antagonise my edits. I am just stating a fact, my complaint, concern and dissapointment on how this issue is being treated. It is very unprofessional, just like some of the remarks. I will, but for the time beeing I need to get over this dissapointment. TheMightyGeneral ( talk) 03:16, 3 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Please keep in mind that professional writers have editors and reviewers, and that any writer on Wikipedia must justify their writing and content to others, responding to criticism in a professional manner. Wikipedia aspires to a professional level of writing, and editors must be able to work within the bounds of "your writing may be ruthlessly edited or rewritten by others," as it used to say in the edit window notice. Acroterion (talk) 11:57, 3 November 2017 (UTC) reply

• I am not against that general notion in any way. I stated my reasons to why I have to disagree and principaly oppose the activity on this particular issue. Until there is a firm policy on such niche editing aspects, I will continue to do so and so should others. Violating base editing rules isn't debatable and I regret having done so. Everything else however remains unchanged. Keeping it civilised applies to all parties. TheMightyGeneral ( talk) 12:19, 3 November 2017 (UTC) reply

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.

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.

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

• tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
• adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
• updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
• creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various 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 scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Hello. Regarding your comment: There is no official division like that in the first place. It's especialy nonsensical to put some of the highest military orders in an "unofficial" section. But we can seperate royal orders. Okay.

Quick note on the logistics of discussing things on Talk pages, which are essential for everything that happens here. In Talk page discussions, we "thread" comments by indenting (see WP:THREAD) - when you reply to someone, you put a colon in front of your comment, which the Wikipedia software will render into an indent when you save your edit; if the other person has indented once, then you indent twice by putting two colons in front of your comment, which the WP software converts into two indents, and so on, and when that gets ridiculous you reset back to the margin (or "outdent") by putting this {{od}} in front of your comment. Threading/indenting also allows you to make it clear if you are also responding to something that someone else responded to if there are more than two people in the discussion; in that case you would indent the same amount as the person just above you in the thread. I hope that all makes sense. And at the end of the comment, please "sign" by typing exactly four (not 3 or 5) tildas "~~~~" which the WP software converts into a date stamp and links to your talk and user pages when you save your edit. That is how we know who said what to whom and when.

Please be aware that threading and signing are fundamental etiquette here, as basic as "please" and "thank you", and continually failing to thread and sign communicates rudeness, and eventually people may start to ignore you (see here).

I know this is unwieldy, but this is the software environment we have to work on. Jytdog ( talk) 16:12, 5 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Please stop reverting the article to include sources that were agreed to be unreliable and to remove content that is reliably sourced. At this point you are just deleting everything you don't like. And please do not use any MOS:ALLEGED language for any sourced content that you still haven't provided any sources to prove should be doubted in any way. -- Steverci ( talk) 03:54, 1 September 2021 (UTC) reply

Steverci, your edits are heavily POV, you revert without any kind of consensus nor compromise, remove sources including completely valid academic ones contradicting your preferences, and do exactly what you accuse me of, deleting everything you don't like. You also don't seem to understand how the guidelines work. To write "Accoring to" is absolutely netural and has nothing to do with MOS:ALLEGED.

Hi,

Frankly came from your comment @ User User talk:Kober. Actually I am also looking references from East European/ Central Asian languages/perspectives.

Requesting visit to article Draft:Avret Esir Pazarları – an article about the state of non-elite common women slavery in Ottoman times.

If topic interests you, and you happen to come across any suitable refs please do consider helping out in the draft expansion.

Thanks and warm regards
