You should change to War in Somalia 2006 on your battles maps, now. --TheFEARgod (Ч) 17:02, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your point of view, yet I maintain the war is still primarily a civil war, fought between the ICU, the TFG, Puntland, and Galmudug, etc., with the foreign intervention of Ethiopia (and others). The media still refer to it as a civil war as well, such as this Dec 24, 2006 reference in the Boston Globe: The surrogate war in Somalia --Petercorless 18:24, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sir We are experiencing some kind of a edit war going on in Somaliland article and its cultural and regional sub articles. For example certain Wikipedia users deny the existance of Somaliland in Las Geel article and are deleting anything that honors Somaliland as in credit source. Further Ingoman user has yet to present verifiable articles to his ' Northland ' state his other state is full of contradictions including Somaliland and Somalia/Puntland status. The sources he has provided on button with allied users are all from untrusty private Somalia websites.Also I must object that Somaliland is described as an autonom region part of Somalia when it clearly is de facto independent and has secceeded. BBC,CNN , AFP , Reuters , UN all has acknowledged Somaliland is de facto independent. So how can a user on wikipedia ( ingoman ) claim something else and still protect his version of Somaliland with helps from moderators like Gyrofrog. Wikipedia is losing a bit of its integrity if we allow certian users 'guard' their contributions like its being done in Somaliland article.

Very unfortunate.

WP:CITE

Hi Petercorless, first of, you're doing some amazing work on Wikipedia, thank you! However, it would be very helpful if you considered use of guidelines on citing sources included in WP:CITE. It's not compulsory but sources without retrieved on, author, date of publishing, etc. are generally considered invalid. F.e., if the your articles are to be considered for WP:FAC someone will have to add all the information you omitted, which will be much more difficult to do. Please consider using source citation templates; see Wikipedia:Template_messages/Sources_of_articles#Citations_of_generic_sources. Also consider providing edit summaries on your edits as it's helpful for other editors and may be use preview more often than submit as you are flooding wikipedia' database with edits often just one-three minutes one from another. Thank you.--Pethr 04:31, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. Yes. Since the "urgency" of the Somalia war is winding down, I can take more time to read through the Wiki guidelines and put in the more formal information for references. I've been doing it on a few articles, but I had not been all-too-thorough yet. On the flip side, I am already going in at some places cleaning up those even-more glib links and poorly-formed external refs by others left long before me. As far as using "preview" -- I do. However, there are a number of technical issues I've been having, including losing sessions (particularly bad today), which require me to save early and often. Otherwise, the update gets "lost" when I try to submit it. I've also found a lot of my updates are iterative as I swap data around from section to section. There's just no other way to do that than a few submissions at a go. I'll try to do better with the change notes. --Petercorless 04:41, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reply. Try hitting back buttom in your browser if your session is aborted or if you receive some kind of error from the server. It works for me in Safari/Firefox without exception. Hope it helps.--Pethr 05:02, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good tip, which I did try, and it didn't work. Restarting the browser also did not seem to clear it up. However, by this evening, I'm back to mostly normal. --Petercorless 05:03, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And what exactly is happening? What error are you seeing? It's unusual to say the least, modern browsers remember those things. I assume you're a mac user, I like using simple apps such as TextEdit for editing Wikipedia, it adds one copy and paste to the process but it can be more comfortable especially if you have enough screen real estate to accommodate browser and editor side by side.--Pethr 05:15, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be editing, and suddenly I was unable to save. It would tell me I had lost my session. Going back and trying to re-submit would tell me I needed to log in again. Have to log out, then log in again, then go back to the page I was editing. I'd also have to copy the text buffer of the article, and paste it once I got back in and ready to edit. It was not a good time. It happened about 20 times today. It finally cleared up a few hours ago. --Petercorless 05:20, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that your problem is descibed in Help:Logging in#Log in problems but I'd double check cookies settings (usually in privacy tab in prefs) first. External text editor also might help (as you don't lose your changes when the session ends unexpectedly. Hope you will solve this!--Pethr 05:38, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: War in Somalia

I never said they weren't involved. I merely said the source provided next to their listing under 'combatants' makes no such claim. It states merely that the US gives 'tacit approval' to Ethiopia's military support for the TFG. Thus, it is wholly inaccurate and mis-representative to use it as a reference claiming the US is a 'combatant'. Further, if are not combatants, as you readily admit, why would they be listed under the 'combatants' section of the campaign box? —Aiden 13:26, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Check the reference I made, which shows the USN is indeed patrolling off the coast, and has committed to trapping escaping Jihadists. I mentioned they were on "Maritime Patrol," a form of combat support, though they are not direct combatants in the land combat. --Petercorless 13:29, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Were do you get your information, I struggle finding information regarding the fighting from the late 80s into the 90s. Does it not exist or is it hard to find. The details regarding the Rebellion are very hard to find and the civil war before UNISOM and UNITAF is nearly non-existent. PLEASE HELP.

Old Images

Hi Peter, I created commons:Category:Somali Civil War maps and placed your maps, as well as those created by others, there. I noticed that in one case you had noted on a talk that an image had been superceded by an updated upload. When you have the time, it would be helpful of using the "other versions" field to clarify both the "previous" and "succeeding" maps for the images, so users can step through the maps without searching the entire category. Cheers, Banyan Tree 21:10, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I was thinking of doing that just the other day but got sleepy! I took the old images and marked them with "badname" and also filled out the succeeding maps field. I also took out the Somali Civil War category field so that they would not clutter up the gallery. Yes, it would be confusing to someone to see the others, which I consider "deprecated" like old versions of software. --Petercorless 23:52, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Galmudug

Galmudug isn't a civil war faction or a country so much as it's a state, like a USA state. Maybe there's a better template we can use? Galmudug's ambition, for instance, isn't to overthrow an authority or independence, but rather a regional administration.--Ingoman 01:04, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I know it is a "state" but it's not a country with its own currency, etc. I gave it the same sort of Infobox we're using for the ICU and other Somali Civil War factions. It is certainly not as well-organized as Puntland or Somaliland, and in fact, we've heard no news of it since the December battles. It is far more like a faction which declared itself like a state, such as Southwestern Somalia or the Juba Valley Alliance. --Petercorless 01:13, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Finfinne

Peter, you seem to have some interest/expertise in Somalia, which I lack. Can you take a look at these edits? I reviewed the changes, and as far as I can tell, all of this person's edits either introduced errors into cited figures, or removed citations entirely; I've reverted all of his recent edits. I have no idea what he's trying to accomplish, but this seems to be an ongoing pattern. -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 07:34, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks greatly. Yes, he seems to be simply screwing with numbers, as many people have done with many articles. It's annoying, but you are to be commended for keeping sanity. --Petercorless 07:37, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, just noticed he was blocked. It's a shame when people try to be obtuse. --Petercorless 07:39, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, when I reverted the first batch of changes, I noticed that his talk page was already cluttered with similar warnings, so I sent him a final warning, with a links to prove to him that he had vandalized cited figures. He continued making the same sort of edits, so I reported him to WP:AIV. Unfortunately, I know nothing about the subject, so I have no way to tell if he's ever made any legitimate edits, so I only reported him for vandalism (i.e. temporary block) as opposed to a vandalism-only account (permanent block). -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 07:46, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Somalia

Thanks, that was a pleasant surprise! I have to say, though, I'm baffled as to what that person (User talk:Finfinne, User talk:Eastafrica institute) is up to. I hesitate to call it simple vandalism...there seems to be a method to his madness; I just can't figure it out. I've wondered if possibly his English is so limited that he's not able to communicate well on talk pages, but if that's the case, he really shouldn't be editing articles on the English Wikipedia in the first place. -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 07:33, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Most welcome! Yes. There often seems to be a method to many folk's insertions. I also try to give folks a chance to explain their actions, and invite discussion on the Talk pages. However, I have seen the Somali pages get very contentious regarding tribal ethnicity and I watch quite a bit of hijacking of the articles because of deep-seated ethnic and political agendas. Claims of condemnation of other factional leaders as "war criminals" or the apologetic whitewashing of similar pasts. When I saw these maps and entire clans were removed, I had an immediate concern there was some revisionism going on. --Petercorless 07:40, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the barnstar, at this point I feel little of my sanity is left. I deleted the images from User:Eastafrica institute and User:Sanaagian, who I also blocked. I need to go back to Sanaagian and see if he is a sockpuppet and if so of who. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 07:44, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was actually relieved to find straightforward POV edits like this one; at least that's vandalism that I understand! But that business of repeatedly deleting the citations from the opening paragraph while leaving the text more or less intact just confuses me. And edits that just involve the addition, deletion, or changes to huge lists of mostly redlinked names leaves me at a complete loss. Without any context to go by, I have to let it go and hope for the best. I'm just glad you're keeping an eye on those articles to sanity-check the bizarre edits. -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 07:51, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I am also concerned when there are long lists of undocumented additions. Some of them are based on other article sources on Wikipedia, but some, such as a recent addition of a General of the 1st Division of the new TFG army made me scratch my head. The only reference to that name I could find on Google that was similar is a 1997 track star from Somalia. Could it be the same person? A different person with the same name? I have no context. However, when I see "Tony Blair" listed as a Somali member of the ICU, even I smile at the baldfaced attempts of vandals. Nice try, but... Revert! --Petercorless 07:54, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Darod

Can you look at this and this, plus the newly created Sheikh Abdirahmaan bin Ismaaciil Jabarti. I can't seem to find any solid references to him under that name and even looking for the older version from the Darod article isn't that great either. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 07:38, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Categorizing "operations"

The category guideline actually calls for all combat operations to be placed into the "Battles ..." categories (which may be thought of as "Battles and combat operations..."; but that name would be needlessly long, I think, to actually rename them). Trying to do othewise is simply too confusing, since a "battle" in the modern sense may encompass an entire campaign (e.g. Battle of Gallipoli, Battle of France, etc.), while an "operation" may be quite small.

Hope that helps explain things! Kirill Lokshin 07:07, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a "battle." Stop changing it to a battle. It's an ongoing operation, mostly non-combat-oriented. --Petercorless 07:09, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, here's the question: is it a combat operation or not?

If it is, then the category rules call for it to be placed in the "battle" category, regardless of whether it actually has "battle" in the title, is an entire campaign, etc.
If it is not, then it should be under Category:Non-combat military operations.

In other words: I'm not arguing that it is a battle; merely that if it's a combat operation, it gets placed in the same category as battles do. Kirill Lokshin 07:12, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your mode of thinking is rather narrow-minded. Two (2) military strikes have occurred in the theatre of operations defined under OEF-HOA. A number of other Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW) have also occurred, such as anti-piracy interdictions. There have also been numerous civil-military operations and humanitarian missions. So the answer is that it is both a combat operation and a non-military operation. However, it's neither a "battle" nor a "war." I'm not one given to simply pigeon-hole article because guidelines are that -- guidelines. They are not to be used to shoe-horn or misinterpret truth. --Petercorless 07:25, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Out of curiosity, is this primarily an issue of terminology, or of characterizing the operation as a combat one? In other words, would it be acceptable to place the article in a combat operation category that didn't necessarily label it a battle (e.g. placing the article in both Category:Non-combat military operations involving the United States and Category:Battles and combat operations involving the United States)?

(The background: given that this issue has come up before, WP:MILHIST is now planning a set of renamings of the form "Battles involving X" → "Battles and combat operations involving X", to avoid having to argue over whether something is a "battle" or not; and I'm wondering if that will resolve this particular issue or not.) Kirill Lokshin 17:23, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be content to put it under both Category:Military operations involving the United States and Category:Non-combat military operations involving the United States, since though there were two (2) combat air strikes, the vast majority of OEF-HOA's activities have been MOOTW. So both of those categories are true of OEF-HOA. Just don't put it under a "battle" or a "war" since it is neither of those. I'm not sure I like the wierd complex renaming "Battles and combat operations involving X". There are battles. There are military campaigns. There are wars. What is lacking in your heirarchy is a "campaign" (Category:Military_campaigns) which is a series of battles in an overall war. Many operations are limited to a single battle. Some operations are related to an overall campaign. Some operations comprise an entire war. Other operations are not a battle, nor a campaign, nor a war. So... It depends. If I had the choice of "battle," "campaign" or "war," the closest analogy OEF-HOA would relate to would be a "campaign." Sans "campaign," leave it simply as an "operation", both military and non-military. --Petercorless 19:52, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Casualties unrelated to OEF-HOA

And, incidentally, if you're arguing that it's a non-combat operation, you might want to check whether the casualty counts in the infobox are actually related to it; having 2,500+ casualties almost certainly qualifies it as a "combat operation" that the U.S. is involved in (even if the U.S. isn't responsible for most of them). Kirill Lokshin 07:20, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have argued that the "casualties" listed on the OEF-HOA page (carried over from CJTF-HOA) are an utter misattribution, since they are a "double-dipping" of the casualties listed under the Second Battle of Mogadishu and the Rise of the Islamic Courts Union (2006). Nothing that happened in Somalia, aside from the two U.S. airstrikes, have anything to do with OEF-HOA on an official basis. Hence, I have argued strenuously in the past to remove those casualty figures. --Petercorless 07:25, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

However, some of those oppositions seemed partisan to me, and others seemed out of date by the end of the debate and the revisions the article went through. Unfortunately, that might fail it for FA status based upon instability. But let's see what others say. --Petercorless 23:27, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

L33ter

He's violated 3RR on the Sanaag article. I've warned him but it was a few hours ago. Also because I am involved in it I will not block him. SO you may need to report at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RR. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 11:01, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

True, he's violated 3RR, but he had his reasons, trying to hold to what he considered was true and factual. Rather than simply see him banned, I'd like to engage him for the good. However, after my latest additions, which show the Somaliland division more accurately (10 districts, six of which graded "A" through "C" were involved in the 2005 elections), if he continues to simply blank the section, we can escalate matters. I'd prefer to battle over who has the best citations than simply win by fiat of getting him ousted. But yes, simply reverting excisions is no fun. --Petercorless 11:07, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK but the only thing is your edits have references. His have none on the article page. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 11:11, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Quite true. He's simply blanking the section. Not good form. Let's give him some time to read over what I added tonight. If we continue to get blanked sections, we can escalate. Right now, I have to say that the additional pressure to prove my point through citations actually has taught me a bit more about the area. But his methods of editorial contribution do leave much to be desired. --Petercorless 11:15, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: FA status for Nagorno-Karabakh War

It's up to the featured article director, really; in the end, he's the one that will make the call. Kirill Lokshin 19:23, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Somali diaspora

This is a copy and paste of the section from Somali people. Not sure if it's a good or bad thing yet. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 09:36, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Peter, thank you for the award. Your comments on the NK War Talk page could not have been said any better.

Military history WikiProject coordinator elections

It gives me great pleasure to inform you that you have been elected as one of the Military history WikiProject's Assistant Coordinators. Congratulations!

To start with your coordinator work, please visit this page and familiarize yourself with the material gathered there; it's also a good idea to place the page on your watchlist, as it's the main place where discussion among the coordinators takes place.

Thanks again for offering to take up this responsibility, and congratulations on your success! Kirill Lokshin 00:04, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats!

Congrats on your election as an assistant coordinator. In honor of your achievement, I present you with these stars. I wish you luck in the coming term. TomStar81 (Talk) 00:37, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Because of your support, I was elected Assistant Coordinator of the Wikipedia Military History Project in February 2007.

Coordintors please drop by

The old coordinators (Kirill, Dryzen and me) decided to established a kind of regular meeting of the coordinators. The intention is to exchange information, opinions and coordinate our work. The current meeting is here. Wandalstouring 00:56, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Allies of WW2

I have added mention of France in 1939-40. The UN certainly existed during WW2; the security council did not. We need a reference for France in 1944-45, not for something that happened in 1946. Grant | Talk 03:48, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I repeat; a reference for 1944/45 please. If we are talking about 1946 we may as well be talking about 2006. Grant | Talk 04:20, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have the flu at the moment, so I'm somehwat terser than I would be otherwise. Nevertheless, as I've worked on Allies of WW2 for a couple of years now, I feel somewhat protective of it. Can we please discuss major changes before you implement them? Grant | Talk 05:53, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Surely. You also have my sympathies for your illness. I will in return ask for you to not be so defensive over articles. Recall that no one "owns" Wikipedia articles. --Petercorless 07:20, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Knights Templar

Yup, I'd been meaning to get to that for awhile, and your edit reminded me. :) BTW, I've submitted a formal GA nomination for the article, though I haven't heard anything back yet.

I was actually just thinking, that if we could get this article revved up in time, it would be the perfect choice for the main page FA on October 13, 2007, since that would be the 700-year anniversary of Philip's arrests of all the French Templars. Do you think that's a reasonable target date? --El on ka 05:10, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

World War II Mediation Case

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/World War II, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible. —Krellis (Talk) 21:22, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that you added Pacific War to the mediation case - from a quick look over there I couldn't immediately see a directly related dispute, so I'm not sure that it's entirely appropriate to merge them together. Certainly, the participants do look similar, and the discussion is on a similar topic, but I'm not sure they're similar enough to try to handle in the same case. I'd appreciate if you could maybe explain your reasoning a little more to help me understand why you made the addition. Thanks! —Krellis (Talk) 01:00, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question regarding US Military terms of address

Hi,

I hope you don't mind me contacting you out of the blue. Another Wikipedian suggested that Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/United States military history task force might be able to answer my question. Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to ask the entire group. If you tell me how, I will do so in the future instead of annoying you. :-)

I have a vague surety that in one of the branches of the US Military, all officers (male or female) are addressed as "Sir". But, I can't remember which branch. And I can't seem to devise a set of search terms/criteria that can tell me which branch it is (using Wikipedia, Google, library books, or military websites). Do you know? If not, do you know where I can find out? I'd appreciate any help or guidance.

Thank you,

From the Editors

The newsletter is back! Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below)

We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future.

This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned or post news on the next issue's talk page

New irc channel

Lastly, a new WikiProject Biography channel has been set up on the freenode network:

Our thanks to Phoenix 15 for setting it up.

Proposed deletion of Carpent tua poma nepotes

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Carpent tua poma nepotes, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Gah! Give me more than 0 seconds to actually improve the article. I just did as suggested above. I removed the mark, and I am going to improve the article. I *just* added in the comments on the talk page. But sheesh! Can't a person get a few minutes to update an article before it's blasted away? You'd think people would get a bit of a break to actually *type in text* before the article was deleted. It's coming. Hold up. Otherwise you'll delete it before I can even write it. 20:02, 17 August 2008 (UTC)~

Carpent tua poma nepotes

Restore please. Discussion: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Carpent_tua_poma_nepotes

Is this Wikipedia, or "whocanshootanarticleintheheadthefastest.org?"

If I was citing other web sites, how was this OR?
It was notable because it was about the long-view of Roman society. It is utterly ironic modern readers with short-decision cycles were so shortsighted (and narrow-minded) to utterly blow the article away rather than allowing it to develop over time.
I would like to start the article again and not have it blown away by people who a) don't care, and b) don't know why it was important to Roman culture.
If you are not interested and don't care about a topic, you can always ignore it. This is not "original research." I just did not have every assertion specifically quoted to an original source on the web. Rather than give me even so much as a week to get my books sources together, you leaped on it like intellectual jackals.
If you don't agree with some of the specific assertions, use the talk page. Using AfD vetoes the idea, and does not improve the content a single iota.
You are wishing away a cultural ideal of the Roman society. ("La-la-la-la, I'm not listening.")
The calls to delete occurred within mere minutes of the article being created. How in the world do you know if the article has value if you delete it half-way through authoring?
If people had debate on the tone or POV of the article, that can be changed without _deleting_ the entire article.
I did cite where it was from. I even had a link to it.
As far as not getting back to it before the AfD concluded, it looks like people already sentenced the article to death regardless of my own hopes. There's a reason Pythagoreans warned about "democratic" mob rule. What ever happened to pluralism?

--Petercorless (talk) 05:04, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with your sentiments but a deletion review will not be productive. I suggest that you recreate the article under an English title which makes the topic clearer and buttress it with a solid source from the outset. Colonel Warden (talk) 08:06, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- It is productive if people let, allow, and permit it to be so. Which I posit will be the case upon logical reflection. It is sociologically maladaptive to be so driven to squelch this article. Colonel, your idea is a good one. In fact, in the sense of "and"-based thinking, we can create both Latin and English, and link both to the same destination. We have articles about Hello Kitty. I have no idea why *that* expression of modern popular culture merits inclusion while the historical popular culture of the Roman civilization, expressed by "Carpent tua poma nepotes" would be driven from the memetic space of Wikipedia. --Petercorless (talk) 17:57, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Baidoa map

Hey -- I saw your amazing map of the Battle of Baidoa. I'm trying to make a map for a different operation, and so I was just wondering about the background of the map. Did you use a free map as the background? Or did you make it yourself? And (most importantly for me), if so, how did you accurately plot the different cities and towns? Thanks a ton in advance! Bsimmons666 (talk) 19:08, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much! The basis of the maps were done in Adobe Illustrator. I used some PDF maps made available from FSAU, a non-profit working with the World Food Program (WFP) and US Aid as the basis. I had to "scrape" out many of the features not needed, but used the rivers, regional and national borders, and locations of the cities. Check out FSAUSomali.org, for their Administrative Maps, especially the regions: http://www.fsausomali.org/200510112442_maps.php

You can use these base maps, which are in .pdf format, and scrape out any unnecessary layers or elements. Again, a vector graphics editing tool like Adobe Illustrator is invaluable for this task.

Sincerely,

Attempts at reconciliation in Somalia (1991–2004)

I read the article and see the event started in 1992. Maybe you should rename the article as Attempts at reconciliation in Somalia (1992–2004). 98.119.158.59 (talk) 00:01, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How about I just add information for the 1991 events? :) --Petercorless (talk) 04:39, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. By the way, the war started in 1991. I think in the Template:Campaignbox Somali Civil War, the link to Somalian Revolution (1986–1992) should be removed because it was just the background, same as the case in Template:Campaignbox Afghan Civil War, see the talk page. 98.119.158.59 (talk) 06:47, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It depends on how one looks at the Somali Civil War. It either "started" in 1991 with the fall of the Siad Barre government, or it was the logical continuation of the revolution which began against Siad Barre in 1986. The 1986-1992 period is useful to review as an arc from the beginning of the revolution, through the ouster of the Barre regime, through the period of post-revolution chaos and the advent of the U.N. missions in 1992. This is how Wikipedia has the main Somali Civil War page organized (q.v.). --Petercorless (talk) 00:19, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tablighi Jamaat

Currently there is a peer review going on for Tablighi Jamaat. I've addressed most of their concerns but they've asked me to get the article read and copy edited by a native English speaker. You're have significant edits to the article. So, assuming that you've little interest in the topic, can you kindly do some copy editing to the article. I am not asking for the whole article. Just requesting to do as much as you comfortably can. — Hamza ^{[ talk ]} 06:03, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimedians in residence

Hello, thank you for updating the Wikipedian in residence article with information that there are now also universities which employ a WiR. Having been myself in such a position at Masaryk University since February 2015, I have somehow struggled to fit myself within the former definition, so I welcome and advocate the expansion of the term to include universities as well. Do you know about any other universities with their own WiR, apart from mine and the University of Edinburgh, which is mentioned in the English Wikipedia article? --Blahma (talk) 21:37, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

March Madness 2017

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:

tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:KairosDB logo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:KairosDB logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:47, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Flag of OIC-small4.5x3.svg

Thanks for uploading File:Flag of OIC-small4.5x3.svg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jonteemil (talk) 02:00, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Ayn, Somalia

Please do not create hoaxes on Wikipedia, as you did at Ayn, Somalia. Doing so is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
