I've been doing some research on this obscure incident and decided to write an article about it, any comments and opinions welcome. Link: Deception Island incident Bob meade ( talk) 12:08, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
@ WP:MILHIST coordinators: @ Fyrfly357: I have moved this from the co-ordinator talk page and changed the title from: change to 96th Infantry page? in order to give it move coverage. At first reading, I think some change is needed in these articles. Also, perhaps we might need to investigate other instances of this sort of thing in other articles connected to the blocked user.

I am on the board of the 96th Infantry Division Heritage Association and need some guidance regarding a modification of the Wiki history of the 96th Infantry Division (United States).
Our group is composed mainly of descendants and friends of members of the WWII 96th ID (US) dedicated to the preservation of the history of the 96th. We have been collecting information from the Army archives in St. Louis, MO. We also have contact with the Ft Douglas Museum in Salt Lake City, UT which is storing some of our material as well as records of the 96th successor reserve units. Our intention is to expand on the history of the 96th ID and also add to the information of the after war reserve units. While the reserves were not combat units, they did serve in several post-war conflicts.
In June of 2008 the original 96th ID Wiki page was renamed to 96th Sustainment Brigade, without discussion, by a “Dcfowler1” with the 96th ID page now being a redirect. We were not the only group affected and it seems his actions resulted in a temporary suspension of editing privileges.
Since the 96th ID was the parent organization we would like to know if it would be possible to reverse this and return to the original configuration retaining the 96th SB page as a redirect. The majority of the article pertains to the WWII organization so we feel that this is not an unreasonable request. Alternatively, would it be possible to split the existing article and have separate pages for the 96th ID and 96th SB.
Is this something that falls in line with the goals of the WP:MilHist project? Since the 96th ID page already exists, it is my understanding that any changes of this sort would require the assistance of an administrator. We do not wish to cause any problems or disruption so any suggestions, advise, or guidance you could give would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Fyrfly357 ( talk) 17:47, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Does any user have access to the most up to date Military Balance? List of active Russian military aircraft would benefit from more up to date sources. Buckshot06 (talk) 06:11, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
Hello everyone. I have (@ Bungy1804:) a user who seems to be a person with great knowledge about UK nuclear submarines but does not know how to incorporate their information into the article. Their attempts have been wild and without sources and very much in the vein of vandalism which is why I reverted them on half a dozen pages surrounding the subject of the Churchill-class submarines. I have attempted to explain to them on their talk page how to go about doing this, but they seem to be ignoring me. Maybe someone with greater knowledge of the period/nuclear programs (they keep referencing the Mountbatten program) could speak with them. Llammakey ( talk) 13:41, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

I am the chairman of HMS Valiant and of the 3rd Submarine Squardron for a reason.
Chairman of an imaginary group with imaginary friends? Doesn't the Chairman of the Squardron need to be able to spell. LOL MAXIMA. ——Serial Number 54129 15:30, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
There is a requested move discussion at Talk:Libyan Crisis (2011–present)#Requested move 16 July 2024 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. RodRabelo7 ( talk) 16:09, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
War crimes in the Russian invasion of Ukraine has an RfC for possible consensus. A discussion is taking place. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments on the discussion page. Thank you. JDiala ( talk) 21:29, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
Part of the 20th-century subsection of this article is attributed to Modern Guns and Gunnery by H.A. Bethell, a pre-WWI book that you can read here. After skimming it, I found some significant inaccuracies in what the article claims about early 20-century usage of the term "howitzer". Feel free to double-check and chime in.

Hello American Civil War friends! Just wanted to let you know that the Walter Johnson's River of Dark Dreams has prompted an interest in the pre-Civil War landscape of the lower Mississippi. Wanted to flag some recently developed articles on minor boat landings (all now washed away by the River) that could use your expertise on ACW military movements; additional categories, see also, links, and content very welcome!
Thanks in advance for any further development! Best, jengod ( talk) 04:27, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
I opened a RfC regarding English sources on the participating Japanese forces during the Defense of Sihang Warehouse but have yet to hear any input. In short the Japanese order of battle in English sources is contradicted by Japanese sources, including official military histories, but an editor has been arguing in favor of keeping the evidently wrong claims from English sources in favor of using Japanese ones. I have also written up a summary of Japanese participating forces according to a variety of Japanese sources on the article's talk page. I would really appreciate any input on the matter, especially from those who can read Japanese. Adachi1939 ( talk) 01:01, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
...which, if passed, might expand to many more. See Talk:All-purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment#Requested move 24 July 2024. Randy Kryn ( talk) 08:56, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
An IP-editor is making assertions about the reliability of a source at Operation Market Garden and is re-writing the article to suit this assertion. Given that he/she hasn't shown any proof of this, I have ask the IP not to edit the article but discuss on the talk page. It would be really helpful if someone more experience with WW2 matters than me could take a look and intervene. Happy to be told I'm wrong if that's the case. 10mmsocket ( talk) 15:09, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
