Sorry about licensing mistakes

I notice that you have been correcting my licensing omissions on on my uploads. Sorry about my mistakes. I don't think I knew about {{PD-USGov-Interior-BLM}} but I do now! Thanks, and Happy New Year! Regards, —mattisse (Talk) 19:07, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I just noticed it, so I changed it. Happy New Year!--Monkeybait (talk) 23:18, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Parenthetical disambiguation

Hello! Wikipedia's convention is to use parenthetical disambiguation strictly to differentiate between/among more than one article.
We do not use parenthetical disambiguation purely to convey additional information about the article's subject, and we do not redirect "Foo" to "Foo (disambiguation term)"; if a base title leads to an article by that name, it does so directly. Otherwise, it leads to a disambiguation page or to an article with a different title (not the same title with parenthetical disambiguation appended).
For instances in which other entities with the same name exist, no one is helped by redirecting "Foo" to "Foo (disambiguation term)," in which case the base title still leads to the article about one particular entity. Only when articles about the other entities are written is there any benefit to moving the first article away from the base title.
Thank you! —David Levy 05:48, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I realize you are an expert on military matters, so you do realize that there are multiple, for example, 27th Infantry Regiments in the world...right? Or are you just jumping in where you really have no clue? Love and kisses,xxxooo --Monkeybait

Removed PROD on Corps Support Group

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Corps Support Group, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

I removed this PROD because the rationale was subjective and unrelated to any WP Policy or Guideline. This is not the best of articles, nor is it properly referenced. That said, its been around since 2006 and I doubt that notability is an issue. Indeed this article needs improvement, but should get the scrutiny of an AfD before its deleted.--Mike Cline (talk) 23:54, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File:Himmler to Mufti telegram 1943.png

In this edit, you marked the image as pd-germany, which states "photographic works are copyrighted for 70 years after the death of the photographer (UrhG §§ 2, 64), and then enter the public domain.". The telegram was from 1943. Assuming the best possible case for this image being free under those terms, 1943+70 = 2013. This image is not pd by those terms. Could you please correct this? --Hammersoft (talk) 14:18, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All I did was replace a deprecated tag with the one I thought was the best fit. As the old PD tag is outdated, I have no idea what else to put on there. Unless there is a copyright tag to cover German govt images (which I didn't see), the image could always be put up for deletion.Monkeybait (talk) 00:12, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

duplicate image

This request was denied, because the two images were not exact duplicates. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 23:45, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Blank user page

I know some users don't like to use userpages. However, they have a couple distinct advantages: 1. You can disclose who you are and what you like to do, 2. you can show users what type of experiences you have had on Wikipedia (FA, GA, DYK?, templates, Wikiprojects), which allows users to better orient questions, comments or invitations to your interests and ability (I get them all the time) and 3. So you don't look like a really new user on other user's watchlists: the red link to a user page sends up a red flag that the contributer is relatively new and thus all his/her edits need to be examined carefully. The last is why I am leaving a comment here. Please consider creating your user page, even if it does not disclose information about your real world self, it helps smooth interactions with other Wikipedians. Also, I would like to invite you to participate in the WP:Online Ambassadors program, however I cant judge if you are a good candidate, because of the lack of vanity wall, so to speak. I hope you consider the Ambassador, and not take my thoughts on User pages as an insult. Happy editing! Sadads (talk) 02:14, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I had one, but blanked it. Until I can think of what layout I would like, I will probably not do anything with it for now.Monkeybait (talk) 02:16, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bypassing redirects

Have you read WP:NOTBROKEN? There's really no reason to bypass all those redirects. Ntsimp (talk) 00:58, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Four star articles

Nice job on the admirals articles. Any chance you can maybe get some of the redlinks at List of active duty United States four-star officers? Thanks. – Connormah (talk) 17:39, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe eventually. I just figured starting an article is the biggest roadblock sometimes. If it gets started, usually people will then start adding to it very soon thereafter.--Monkeybait (talk) 03:57, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Coat of arms images

I've brought up this subject on the Military History project page for discussion here. As you and I have been disagreeing about this for some time, I wanted to hear your thoughts on the matter. —Ed!^(talk) 20:32, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.
