NATO

Hi Brendenhull,

I appreciate your point about NATO, but the Wikipedia guidelines at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (acronyms) are clear that if a concept is widely known and understood by its acronym, then it the acronym should be the page name. You almost never hear anyone referring to the "North Atlantic Treaty Organisation", it's always just "NATO". NASA and SETI are cited as examples of the same thing on that guideline page. USA and UN are different cases because the full versions are often used in everyday talk. Anyway, I've set up a vote at WP:RM so let's see what happens! — SteveRwanda 13:55, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gator1

Uh, maybe you didn't realize that Gator1 is an admin (not a new user) who deleted his own user and talk pages and (I think) left Wikipedia, due to real-world harassment from a vandal threatening his job. (more info here) –Tifego^(t)_{00:25, 30 April 2006 (UTC)}[reply]

Welcome to the Military history WikiProject!

Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
The announcement and open task box is updated quite regularly. You can watch it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPMILHIST Announcements}} there.
Our project worklist contains some of the articles we're working on, together with a rating of their quality. It's not nearly complete, though, so please feel free to add any articles you work on if they aren't already listed there!

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines outline some things to include.
Interested in working on a more complete article? The military history peer review and collaboration departments would welcome your help!
Interested in a particular area of military history? We have a number of task forces that focus on specific nations or periods.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lok s h in 19:05, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think you wanted this: Brenden h ull. If you're using the preferences function, be sure to mark the "raw signature" box or HTML won't display properly (the < symbol was inputed like <, for example). F e tofs ^Hello! 22:05, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You've been using <, > and " to generate the code. Use this instead:

Timing is everything

re: Domestic pig, you and I were reverting the same vandal - I ended up reverting yours - Sorry mate. --Geneb1955^Talk/_CVU 11:04, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

indegenous australians talk

Somehow I removed my and Dougg's post again. Can you please repair it again? Or tell me how to restore to an older edit. And do you have an idea what I do wrong that always Dougg's post is removed? (I leave it as it is. Just add my new post or change my post. But then his is "vandalized".) I read [1] so I know now how to revert. But why are Dougg's posts changed?

Authorized edit

Hello Brendenhull,

I'm really at loss here. I'm not sure All I did was change a link from the-underdogs.org, which didn't work, to the-underdogs.info on the Warhammer - Dark Omen page. You could have at least cheched it out before reverting the edit :-) The article isn't locked, AFAIK. Do all edits from unregistered users need an explicit permission to become permanent? Isn't that discouraging editing 'an encyclopedia written collaboratively by its readers'?
