	I should just keep my nose out of it, but an accusation of stalking is a little over the top. It is an emotionally charged word that brings with it ton of creepy suggestions. Maybe there is a better word than stalking to express whatever one is trying to express. Stalking refers to a criminal offense in most areas; it is a bad word to describe the actions of a person who is offended and civilly (if not repeatedly) trying to receive feedback from a person he has a dispute with. ] 19:18, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

	Cla68, its like this. Your efforts to help[REDACTED] are very very appreciated. But everyone is different. Different things upset different people. British and American tastes in which words are fighting words is an example. Using the word "niggardly" around ignorant people is an example. Slimvirgin is an asset to[REDACTED] just as you are. What upsets her is different than what upsets you. Please accommodate our fellow human beings as much as you can when it comes to their individual sensitivities.

	::Yes, that is how the game is played. Provoke a personal attack, then claim a personal attack was made, and when you get enough then you begin an escalation pattern of blocks that make them angry enough to warrant further longer blocks. The first person to claim they were attacked is the winner in this game. Cla68 won. Let it go. Crum375 is playing the "I see your personal attack and I raise you a stalking, your turn" game. He and Slim love these games; they are such fun people. Personally, I find these games lacking in challenge. "The best move is not to play. Care for a nice game of chess?" ] (]) 10:54, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
	It's not a question of differing sensibilities, British v. American English, etc., just a familiar move in a game of strategy that Cla68 doesn't need to play. Cla68, you have a wide and well-deserved reputation for (a) prolific and first-rate article content, and (b) scrupulous and courageous fairness regarding these marginal COI/NPOV/clique dramas. And other editors have an equally wide and well-deserved reputation for vulgarly exploiting a politics of victimhood, and using a moral rhetoric (of "harassment," "stalking," and so on) so grossly and irresponsibly inflated as to be meaningless. It's like one of those poignantly devalued currencies where you've got four zeroes on a bill and it's still not enough for a sandwich. No one believes your accusers, Cla68, so don't let 'em rattle your cage.--] (]) 12:06, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

And I have admiration for the contributions of ], not all of them but '''much''' of them.

	I expect to draw flak for that comment, but it is one thing to voluntarily contribute to Misplaced Pages, and quite another thing to find oneself endlessly confronted on talkpage after talkpage with this garbage and bullying, which at this time seems to reverbrate from BADSITES. I am a minor editor, nil interest in politics, but I dont like walking through spew to get to work. If, somehow, the BADSITES war, can be finished with, with all involved parties well and truly injured and retired from the fray, that may be the best possible outcome for WP. I will gladly wear some incidental abuse then (I am bound to anyway, even just for breathing).

One of the purposes of the RfC was to document what happened as a future reference as well as so that I could learn from the experience and from analysis and comments provided by others. One of things that bothers me the most about the RfA was that an active participant there and in the RfC, an admin, knowingly and mendaciously lied, and has never been held adequately accountable for doing so. ] (]) 09:29, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

	Thankyou for your prompt reply. The question of a "result" is then moot, as the Rfc is still open, and I intend to wait until you or other post there before making a contribution. It seems the purpose of an Rfc is to obtain Outside views; there have been a number of those to date in evidence, so that "outcome" has been achieved, but I cannot see anywhere there where you get answers to what seem reasonable requests to have evidence supplied, or accusations withdrawn. I will be following the Arbcom. case, though unlikey to post there (again;)? ] - ] 10:59, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

			* 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.
	Sockpuppeting

			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.

			{\| style="width: 100%;"
	I would like to register a mild objection to your evidence against me in the Mantanmoreland case. "Overstock abusers" was a quote from the previous comment; you will note please that I also said that editors who used such tactics were ''absolutely ''not'' welcome to edit Misplaced Pages, unless they are willing to leave that behind them when they put on their Misplaced Pages hat.'' Clearly, if Piperdown or someone like him was willing to edit other topics, leaving Overstock, MM and associated topics behind, we would not even know he was here. And please note that my comments about naked short selling obviously apply to Wordbomb but that my comments about misogynistic and antisemitic edits refers to other stalkers of SlimVirgin and others, not to Bagley. Finally, you can call a poison pill if you like, but it is a fact that the suspicion was raised by more than one checkuser, and by at least one non-checkuser admin, and was a matter of consultation among myself and other checkusers before I answered the request, so it seems reasonable to mention it; if only to give an answer to those users and admins who may remember Wordbomb also using proxies and wonder whether it was looked into. ] 01:01, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

			== Today's Wikipedian 10 years ago ==
	Good day,
			{{User QAIbox
	I am soliciting your input and support for reinstating an article that I wrote called Leo J Meyer. Col Meyer was a soldier who started out in pre WWII National Guard ranks. After being called to Federal service and serving in the Pacific for most of 1942 he attended USAAF OCS in Miami Beach Fl along with several Hollywood personalities. His squad Sergeant was William Holden. He continued thru the war to Japan and returned after it to NYNY. He reenlisted in the National Guard and then transferred back onto active duty. He managed to get his commission reinstated and spent the rest of his time on active Army until retiring as a Colonel in 1971. He actually participated in combat in three wars and was awarded three Combat Infantryman Badges (read the article and the article on the CIB to learn the significance).

	I began posting the article to Misplaced Pages in late November 2007. By late January 2008 I felt the military biography was essentially complete without telling anecdotal stories about him and his friends like Hugh Casey for whom Camp Casey, Korea was named. That would only point out his personality and not necessarily be encyclopedic. At the end of January 08 a Misplaced Pages Administrator nominated the article for deletion. Although there were a couple of administrators who participated in the discussions who supported leaving the article, the decision was made to delete.

			== A kitten for you! ==
	Obviously I feel that the Military Biographical Article falls in line with other articles of soldiers like Meyer’s friend Frederick Weyand whose article was the example I followed.

			]
	I found that those people who participated in the AfD did not read everything published or what was there very clearly, i.e. I hade posted an image of an article from an Army publication which addressed Meyer’s earning his parachute wings at age 51 and I had included from the get go the title of a book about Scrimshaw in which some of his art work was published by the books author. One complaint about this later was that there was no ISBN. I could not find one but I have found the Library of Congress Catalog numbers for the two books referenced.
			hey, I appreciate all of the work you have done for the Pacific War and more on this site it is a very noble pursuit even if this site isn't perfect. I wish you the best as a fellow history nerd

	As you know being part of that crowd, the discussion was started, restored and is being continued by several long running ax-grinders with Jimbo both on and off site. Transparently using 'concern' as a reason to air Jimbo's dirty laundry and create drama is by definition that is disruptive editing. For that reason alone it can and should be ended and archived.

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)

If you ever pop in...

Please could you take a look at User:Dweller/Featured Articles that haven't been on Main Page, re Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands. Thanks. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned!

Dweller, I took a look at this article, and I think it holds up quite well. Cla last edited it in November 2015 and there is nothing to preclude its appearance on the main page, if that is your aim. (As I'm sure you know, the battle lasted from 25 to 27 October 1942; the first two dates have been requested for other articles but the 27th is available.) I have some of the sources Cla used and can assist with any work that should be done for TFA. Kablammo (talk) 21:21, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi Kablammo. Thanks for the reply. Can you help with checking/adding sources to the paragraph identified as problematic? --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 10:18, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

And NB I've now nominated Guadalcanal Campaign for main page on Feb 9 2018, 75th anniv of its conclusion. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 14:22, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

Sorry I hadn't realised you were blocked. You'd think the pink message above would have given it away. Glad Kablammo is able to help. If you do ever return to Misplaced Pages, please say hello. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 10:14, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
