⚔ ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) has been nominated for discussion at WP:RFD. Do we have an article that covers the usage of this symbol on historical/tourist maps, as a marker of a battlesite? -- 65.92.244.237 ( talk) 20:47, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Editors might like to have a look at this new article copied from Spanish wiki. It strikes me as fanciful based on a New Statesmen article and backed up by comments by Mitterands psychoanalyst reported in the Guardian together with 3 Spanish sources. Does it fall under extraordinary claims ned extraodinary sources? Lyndaship ( talk) 06:56, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
I've started a discussion at Talk:Earl Van Dorn#"Greatest to have ever lived" regarding the appropriateness or lack thereof of referring to Van Dorn as "considered one of the greatest cavalry commanders to have ever lived". Further input would be appreciated. Hog Farm Talk 19:33, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Is there a policy on using refbegin and refend in bibliographies? Thanks Keith-264 ( talk) 10:01, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
I'm working on Richard Harper Laimbeer, and found this biographical piece about him from 1901 that says "He is a veteran of the Seventh Regiment, and during the war with Spain he was a Major in the Provisional 114th Regiment." Can I assume that the former refers to the 7th Cavalry Regiment or could it mean something else? And what was (or is) a Provisional Regiment?

Battle of Nirmohgarh (1702) has been nominated for deletion, but not noticed to this project. Per my quick look, with sources I have added to the discussion, at appears that there was such a battle in 1700. BD2412 T 14:26, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
Noticed this deletion discussion on a MILHIST article /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Elmslie_typology The typology is one for swords. Don't know why it hasn't been notified here. Monstrelet ( talk) 19:15, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Following The AfD discussion about whether or not the French ship Gapeau (B284) article should be deleted or not (closed as no consensus to delete after more than 6 weeks discussion and deletion review), I would like to raise the issue of auxiliary warships for discussion.
The auxiliary warships are mostly, but not limited to, Naval Trawlers / Kriegfischkutters /Vorpostenboote of WWI and WWII. Wikipedia has pretty good coverage of the larger naval vessels of this period, but not so good coverage of the smaller vessels. Attempts to cover them are met with some resistance from editors such as Fram, who nominate them for deletion with little success.
One big advantage of Wikipedia is we are not a paper encyclopedia. We are able to cover many more subjects than any printed encyclopedia, including this subject. Gapeau served as a commissioned vessel with two navies, and is, in my opinion, more than notable enough to sustain an article. The ed17 raised WP:SIGCOV in the Gapeau AfD discussion. Once an article has been created, it can always be added to when further information comes to light. Again, this is another big advantage of Wikipedia, the ability to update and expand articles.
It is accepted that some vessels had more exciting careers than others, but a comprehensive approach to a subject is better than a patchy approach. So, do we hold that auxiliary naval vessels are generally going to be notable enough to sustain articles given book sources such as Colbert and Gröner, fleshed out with Lloyd's register?
