Cyclone Yemyin

Please note the following:

• WP:WPTC's guidelines on new articles. Generally a storm like this cyclone would warrant an article only after the cyclone's life is over.
• The official warning centre never named the storm. "Yemyin", while on the official list, was only given by Pakistan. India has naming rights so the article would not be at "Cyclone Yemyin" anyway.

For now, it's been redirected. If the real Yemyin as named by India deserves an article in the future, it will get one. This storm will probably end up getting an article at Cyclone 03B (2007), its alternate name, after it dissipates. – Chacor 13:44, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Mumbai2006.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Mumbai2006.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Misplaced Pages articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:21, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

That picture of Tim is really unclear and shouldn't be used as the main picture for his[REDACTED] page, he's barely recognizable in it. Cjlawrence89 15:28, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Requested move - War in Croatia

Hi. I have requested move for "Croatian War of Independence", which in my oppinion is both innacurate in inconsistent with the title of sister Bosnian War (not called Bosnian War of Independence). I see you participated in discussion on the topic in the past - I invite you to do so here. More importantly, could you please help me and put information about this request on some Balkan/Yugoslav issues part of wiki/subroject, where relevant users will see it - I do not know where it is. Thanks! Hvarako 18:09, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Third Waziristan conflict

Cao, htedo da te pitam da li bi trebali da Opsadu Crvene dzamije uvrstimo kao deo ovog konflikta ili ne. Mozda samo kao casus belly ili stvarno deo konflikta.Top Gun

Svidja mi se nekako ideja o tome da se spoje sva tri konflikta, ali sto se tice pominjanja dzamije znas i dalje mi se nekako cini da je ona deo ovog novog konflikta jer su se ove trenutne borbe samo nadovezale na borbe kod dzamije. Dzamija je bila katalizator za ovaj novi rat. Kao na primer sto je ubistvo onih 27 libanskih vojnika u Tripoliju zapocelo opsadu izbeglickog kampa. Neki od ljudi koji su bili u dzamiji su bili inostrani borci dosli najverovatnije iz Vaziristana, a naravno svi su oni bili Talibani.Top Gun

2007 Lebanon conflict

Okej, okej AKO se zavrsi uspesno napad promenicu u konacni napad.Top Gun

Campaignbox za bombaske napade Irackog rata

Hej neki lik White Cat je promenio izgled kutijice velikih bombaskih napada irackog rata, priznajem sada izgleda lepse, ali one kako je on uradio nije upadljivo kao ona stara kutijica, plus stavio je na dno clanka o bombaskim napadima umesto gde bi trebalo da bude pri vrhu pa ako se slazes samnom revertovao bih to na onu staru kutijicu jer onako ipak bolje izgleda, on se zalio da je previse linkova u kutijici, on ocigledno nije video kutijicu za vijetnamski rat. Vidi mi sto pre javi.Top Gun

Iraq Operations

There are currently 3 Different lists of Iraq Operations; Iraqi coalition counter-insurgency operations(which is also somewhat POV), a chonological list and an alphabetical list. I have added a lot of operations to the alphabetical listing and have been updating it faithfully but I haven't updated the counter insurgency or the Chonological listing much. Before I do I recommend that we consider other methods. I figured out how to add a column sort function and added it to the Alphabetical listing. I recommend the other 2 articles be merged into the alphabetical listing and then we can rename the alphabetical listing to something more appropriate like Iraq Military Operations since 2003 perhaps. I added a blurb on the discussion page and recommended the merge for the chronological list and the counter insurgency operations page. You seem to do a lot with the Iraq war articles what do you think? --Kumioko 15:13, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Third Waziristan conflict

Cuj, ljudi u vestima vise ni ne pominju 14.jul, dan prekida dogovora, kao dan kada je poceo ovaj novi konflikt, nego konstantno govore koliko je ljudi poginulo od 3.jula, dan kada je pocela opsada dzamije,jer vec je bilo desetak napada u Vaziristanu dok je trajala opsada ,pa cu u tom slucaju uracunati u trenutne brojeve mrtvih poginule iz dzamije i promeniti datum pocetka konflikta sa 14.jula na 3.jul.--Top Gun

Ubacio sam vise u clanak o opsadi dzamije, stavio i brojeve poginulih iz dzamije u deo glavne kutijice koji pokriva zrtve i cak sam dodao campaignbox sa borbama ovog novog konflikta, bitka broj 1, opsada Crvene dzamije.--Top Gun

OK, pomoci cu ti, kako god mogu. Ti zapocni nesto pa cemo odatle dalje.--Top Gun

Da ja sam taj, neki put me mrzi da se registrujem pa je moj IP samo zabelezen.--Top Gun

Video sam sta si uradio i izgleda super, samo sto si redajrektovao prvu fazu konflikta ka clanku o celom ratu. Pa sada kada se klikne u glavnom clanku da se ode na prvu fazu vraca se ponovo na clanak o celokupnom ratu. Pa sam revertovao tvoj ridajrekt da ima sta da se cita o prvoj fazi rata kada neko klikne na to. Ne brini. Tvoj novi clanak o celokupnom ratu je ostao. Malo sam samo doradio nesto o prvoj fazi ali izgleda super. Takodje jedan lik je prebacio iz clanka o opsadi dzamije u trecu fazu rata tabelu sa svim mogucim napadima koji su se desili od kako je pocela opsada koju sam ja doradjivao sinoc. Sada imamo tacan izvor informacija za zrtve.--Top Gun

Waziristan war/conflict/etc page move

Can you go to WP:AN and request that an admin merge the edit histories of Waziristan War and Waziristan conflict (2004–2006)? GFDL requires traceability for edits and your copy/paste move from conflict to war breaks that traceability. In the future, if you wish to move an article, please follow the instructions at WP:MOVE or post a request at WP:RM.--Bobblehead 16:26, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Get Pictures from Flickr

Hi FearGod,

You have been pretty active on the Lal Masjid siege and 3rd Waziristan War. Just wondering if you can get some fair use pictures from Flickr and add them to these articles.

Thanks Mercenary2k 00:15, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Ne brini

Ne brini, vec su me jedno dva tri puta optuzili za sockpupetry, ali nije im nista uspelo, zato sto su me iskljucivo optuzivali bas oni koji su se time i bavili, pa su na kraju oni bili izbaceni.Top Gun

Re:Waziristan War article history

Hello.

Everything you need is now at Waziristan conflict (2004–2006), the edits from the copy and paste move and subsequent ones are you edits that occurred on 19 July. Look for what you need to re-add changes you made.

In regards to the move, the post to AN was the proper thing to do. While you editing the article under the new name, the original was based on the contribution history from the old article so that all needs to stay together. If you'd like to rename it to Waziristan War, I suggest following the directions at requested moves to gain consensus. Reading the talk page there seems to be various opinions of what to call the article.

Happy editing to you, Keegan 19:29, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Pomoc

Hej treba mi tvoja pomoc, neki lik hoce da obrise jedinu sliku irackog gerilca koja postoji na Wikipediji, nekog snajperiste. Govori da je slika pod licencom New York times ili sta vec pa ne moze Wikipedija da je koristi, ako bi mogao da mi pomognes u debati da se zadrzi ova slika to bi bilo super, evo ga link ovde http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Images_and_media_for_deletion/2007_July_16#Image:Iraqi_Sniper.jpg Stvarno bi bilo glupo da u clanku o Irackom ratu budu samo slike americkih vojnika, americkih vojnika, to je jedina slika irackog gerilca koja postoji i trebala bi bar ta da ostane. Hvala.Top Gun

National Liberation War of Macedonia

Hi TheFEARgod, I created this article and I thought you could help me with POV situation because you are a member of Military history WikiProject. Several POV pushers are adding nationalist Bulgarian information and turning it into an article about ethnic historicity rather than about the conflict itself. I cannot revert the article anymore or I will violate the three-revert rule but the users contributing using nationalist POV are continuing to vandalize the page after being warned to stop. Thanks. Frightner 09:33, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi - look at Talk:National Liberation War of Macedonia. Do you agree that protection and proper discussion on the subject is needed? The topic is too cntroversial and an endless edit-war is on its way if we don't decide now. --Laveol 13:35, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Irrelevent

Is anything relevant?--Kumioko 20:55, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

OK, So when you removed the template for Armed Iraqi Groups in the Iraq War and the Iraq Civil War as irrelevent, how was that not relevant when it is these groups that are setting off the bombs.--Kumioko 13:05, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

So in order for a template to be put in an article the article must be in the template?--Kumioko 13:09, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Coalition operations

I agree and I am in the process of cleaning it up. But it is a huge subject and will take some time. It is missing dozens of operations and many of the ones that it has are missing info or the info is wrong.--Kumioko 13:16, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Kosovo: country debate

Hello. There's a discussion going on Talk:List of countries as to whether or not Kosovo should be included in that list. You have an interest in Serbia-related articles and I thought you might be interested. The articles List of countries and Annex to the list of countries (where the inclusion criteria reside) are both relevant. Cheers. DSuser 13:38, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey FEARgod. We've moved to a vote on Kosovo in Talk:List of countries since you contributed: care you add your vote? Cheers again. DSuser 14:04, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi again. It's probably a minor point, but there a discussion and vote going on at Talk:Kosovo#Kosovo:_terminology as to whether or not it's better to use Kosovo rather than Kosovan or Kosovar in the Misplaced Pages articles. Perhaps you have no interest, in which case sorry to bother you! DSuser 15:51, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Notability

To be honest with you I am starting to loose interest in making updates to[REDACTED] because I spend so much time in debate over things like this I don't have time to make any meaningful changes. I put it out there with the information I had in the hopes that others would add more information to it or I will add more information as I find it. Either way that article as with the majority of the articles in[REDACTED] currently is in my agreement far from complete. Additionally, Misplaced Pages is packed with articles of arguable notibility anyway and what point is it to create an online compendium of human knowledge if we only write about things that are common knowledge--Kumioko 14:10, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Iraq war bombings

Cuj nameravam da revertujem kutijicu sa spiskom bombaskih napada u Iraku na onu staru koja je ranije bila, jeste da je ova sada lepsa ali ona ranije je bila upadljivija i lakse se videla, samo cu da napravim podelu unutar kutijice po godinama.--Top Gun

Sta mislis o ovom izgledu.
