References required

Wikipedia requires that references be included at the same time as facts are added. Your edits will continue to be reverted if you do not include references. David notMD (talk) 10:43, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But I don't know how to add them Thehistorianisaac (talk) 12:46, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Read Help:Referencing for beginners, especially RefToolbar sction. Also, I recommend practicing making references in your Sandbox, and only when complete and correct, moving to an article. David notMD (talk) 20:28, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ok Thehistorianisaac (talk) 13:01, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I will not contest your reverts of my removals of content, but in the future, if you add content, add references at the same time. Your user-page statement "Hi everyone! I am interested in history and know a lot of this subject, but i have a bad habit that i never add citations(my facts are usually correct but i never remember to add citations)." is not an excuse for not adding references. David notMD (talk) 11:40, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I know, but some parts i am only adding stuff that should have been there and is covered late on Thehistorianisaac (talk) 08:45, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

The *Show preview* button is right next to the *Publish changes* button and below the edit summary field.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Chlod (say hi!) 16:06, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for October 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Blue Wizard Digital, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages M24, P90 and SVD. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:06, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of HMCS Regina (K234)

The article HMCS Regina (K234) you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:HMCS Regina (K234) for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

Ok i understand now. Thehistorianisaac (talk) 01:45, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On a related note, I have reverted your nomination of USS North Carolina (BB-55) for FA. It's pretty bad form to nominate articles for reviews if you haven't edited them previously, or even bothered to discuss it with the people who wrote the articles. If you had, I'd have told you that the sourcing on that article is not what it needs to be for FA. You should really only nominate articles for review if you have edited them significantly, or have at least opened a discussion on the talk page so those who wrote the article can advise you whether the article is ready or not.

Joranger Church

I don't know why you placed an ad-tag on the article for a 350-year old church, but I removed it. Drmies (talk) 02:22, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It was a bit biased at the time i read it, maybe it is now improved. Thanks Thehistorianisaac (talk) 01:43, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Plant-stub

Please refrain from applying the Template:Plant-stub to any articles going forward, as you did on Borrichia arborescens. The plant stub category tree is quite deep, with Borrichia arborescens being a member of Category:Heliantheae stubs, itself a member of Category:Asteroideae stubs, which is a member of Category:Asteraceae stubs which is a member of Category:Asterales stubs, which is a member of Category:Asterid stubs, which is a member of Category:Eudicot stubs, which is a member of Category:Angiosperm stubs which finally arrives at Category:Plant stubs. Please inquire at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Plants if you need assistance in this matter. Abductive (reasoning) 02:11, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

May 2024

Thank you for contributing to the article YJ-12. However, please do not use unreliable sources such as blogs, wikis, personal websites, and websites and publications with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight. These sources may express views that are widely acknowledged as pushing a particular point-of-view, sometimes even extremist, being promotional in nature, or relying heavily on rumors and personal opinions. One of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. If you require further assistance, please look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse. Thank you. - RovingPersonalityConstruct (talk, contribs) 03:23, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I know. Ironically i found that source via another wikipedia article so i thought that website was considered reliable on wikipedia Thehistorianisaac (talk) 03:40, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Commando units?

Hi, regarding this edit, do all of those sources list those units specifically as being "commando" units? If they're just generally recognized as SOF but not specifically identified as being commandos, they should not be included on that page. Additionally, some of those sources appear to be questionably reliable -- notably the Bili bili video link appears to fail WP:RS. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 05:25, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just got the units and sources from the PLASOF article, as previously there was one of the listed units which was a PLAGF special forces unit and I just merely used the criteria that all PLAGF spec ops units are commando units; however on the PLANMC 7th marine brigade and airborne corps special forces brigade I also question whether they are a commando unit and i just purely added links to them(as they were listed there prior). Thehistorianisaac (talk) 05:58, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not all PLAGF special operations units are commando units. If we do not have a source claiming they are, we cannot include them in this list. Until we can adequately investigate whether there are reliable sources making this claim, I'm going to revert your edit as it constitutes synthesis. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 06:13, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine with that... However previous version was not particularly good either, with none of the constituting as commando units Thehistorianisaac (talk) 06:17, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All three of the remaining units (Jiaolong, Thor, and Snow Leopard) were cited by this source specifically as being commando units and have been for many months now. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 06:21, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

7th Marine Brigade/Jiaolong is a bit more similar to Navy SEALS while Airborne corps special force brigade/Thor/Thunder gods are more of a 45th spetsnaz brigade.

Snow Leopard has a role similar to the GIGN and Russian National Guard spetsnaz;

i would not consider these "commando units", especially due to the fact that the 7th marine brigade was deployed to the gulf of aden to fight pirates. However I will not dispute this too much as after all i'm not the biggest expert on military terminology and english wikipedia is sort of messy when it comes to the PLA Thehistorianisaac (talk) 06:44, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is why it doesn't matter what we personally consider; it matters what reliable sources say. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 06:51, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Completely agreed. Definition of "commando unit" also differs a lot, some people say it is any elite infantry unit and some say it is light infantry(however either way snow leopard commando unit is a gendarme SWAT unit like the GIGN and not really conventional infantry) Thehistorianisaac (talk) 06:53, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
