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 very frequently. You can watchlist it if you are interested, or you can add it directly to your user page by copying the following: {{WPMILHIST Announcements}}.
- Important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
- The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, writing contests, and article logistics.
- We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
- We've developed a style guide that covers article structure and content, template use, categorization, and many other issues of interest.
- If you're looking for something to work on, there are many articles that need attention, as well as a number of review alerts.
- The project has a stress hotline available for your use.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask any of the project coordinators or any other experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome, and we are looking forward to seeing you around! Kirill [talk] [prof] 02:50, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Burmese–Siamese War (1548–49)
[edit]Hi,
Per your edit, both the Burmese and Siamese kings had significant numbers of Portuguese mercenaries under their pay. Should the link be added to the Burmese side as well? Just want to hear your opinion. Regards, Sodacan (talk) 13:00, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
- Yes I think you are right there sorry. I have now read that the Burmese used them in fact Tabinshwehti used them as his personal guard. Regards.. Bruichladdich1 (talk), 22:48, 21 June 2010 (GMT):
- No probs. Sodacan (talk) 00:23, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Autopatrolled
[edit]Hello. I see that you're a regular creator of new articles. You obviously know what you're doing so it makes sense for you to request autopatrolled status at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Autopatrolled. This will help reduce the workload of newpage patrollers. Cheers, Pichpich (talk) 14:02, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
- I was unaware of the ridiculously high standard for the autpatrolled bit! Sorry I wasted your time. Pichpich (talk) 22:35, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
Project banners
[edit]You would do a service to other editors if, when you create new articles, you place appropriate project banners on the talk page. Thanks. Magic♪piano 22:18, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
- That I will chum! I have only been on here since March this year so this all (relatively) new to me. Bruich 00:19, 2 August 2010 (GMT)
Battle of Cartagena de Indias
[edit]Had to revert your deletion of that reference. Ref is pertinent to that section on estimate of wounded and sick.Tttom1 (talk) 22:59, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- You seemed to be missing the point about that fact that the reference refers to early 1742 not 1741 when as I explained Cartegena took place. The list of sick can change dramatically in over half a year correction... three quarters of a year. I will change it again. Bruich (Bruich) 22:59, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not missing any point. The reference is correct as to commander and relevant to the sick as shown in the epidemics throughout the expedition. This number of reverts constitutes an edit war. So I will leave this be for now as per policy.Tttom1 (talk) 00:40, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- The expedition to Cartegena lasted from April to May 1741 the reference that you have used itself points to early 1742 which is by far then well and truly over. In addition the reference points the expedition to the West Indies so this would include casualties and sick from Santiago De Cuba which is a separate operation from Cartegena. I hope you understand the point I am making here. In all fairness it's like trying to reference the casualties from the Normandy campaign (1944) in 1945! Bruich (Bruich) 01:45, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Action of 12 December 1782
[edit]I've just been reading Action of 12 December 1782, and it strikes me that it would be a fairly good candidate for a Did You Know factlet on the Main Page, perhaps even the lead, if the image looks alright at low resolution. Something along the lines of "...that on 12 December 1782, a single British frigate defeated five enemy ships, taking two as prizes?" (not all that unusual, but sounds punchy enough to make it). The only issue is the lack of inline citations in the article, which is a requirement for the feature. Is there any chance you could make clear which of your references was used for which passages in the article? GeeJo (t)⁄(c) • 09:31, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
- This is a work in progress just reading on the matter still and may add more and will make citations later. Corrected casualties too. I would agree for putting the article up as a candidate for a Did You Know factlet I had to read things twice over to make sure I was typing the article in a correct manner. Bruich (Bruich) 22:03, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
- It's been nominated to appear on the Main Page. If you've any suggestions on improving the hook, feel free to comment there. GeeJo (t)⁄(c) • 14:07, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks
[edit]Hi there, I've just seen your message to me in July (I apologise for the delay, I've had a hectic month and must have somehow overlooked your note in the confusion). I'm glad you like my work - was there something in patricular that piqued your interest?--Jackyd101 (talk) 02:04, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

DYK for Action of 12 December 1782
[edit] | On 3 September 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Action of 12 December 1782, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
The DYK project (nominate) 00:03, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
- Well done! :) I nominated this one, but please feel free to push forward any other articles you write for consideration at DYK in the future. It's always great to read new well-written articles! GeeJo (t)⁄(c) • 00:21, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Mauritius campaignbox
[edit]Dear Bruichladdich1, while I appreciate your interest in naval history of this era on Wikipedia and think that you have made some very helpful additions to the field, I couldn't help but notice the brewing edit war here. I cannot and have no intention of speaking to the accusations of sockpuppetry, and I do not think your edits are vandalism, but User:Pietje96 is correct that one cannot simply invent names for naval battles to make them look good in an infobox. Please only make changes of this kind where you can provide a reliable source that uses the term "Battle of XXX" or a variation thereof. Regards--Jackyd101 (talk) 17:02, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
It's also not polite to throw around accusations of vandalism (as seen on Pietje's talk page and in edit summaries on various template histories) for what is essentially a good faith content dispute. I don't particularly care one way or the other what things are called in campaignboxes, but please, resolve them on talk pages without edit-warring. Magic♪piano 18:13, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
