Just to let you know, from what I understand, it is not so much that the French veteran born Mar 23 1899 chooses to remain anonymous, but that the French tracker wants to hold the case back in order to embarrass the French officials. I do know that his first name is "Bernard."R Young {^yakł_talk} 04:43, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I note that you wrote this before you added comments to the Surviving Veterans page so I assume you've since seen the reasoning I applied at that time. As you say though if he himself has no wish to be anonymous then there is no issue at all about him being named. RichyBoy 09:30, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The photo was used for "illustrative" purposes to represent the people from the time period not a specific person. That's a typical editorial usage which is practiced all the time.

Regards back at ya... --Mactographer 04:19, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An illustrative picture of "surviving veterans" would be a picture of a surviving veteran as they are now. RichyBoy 09:59, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's one possibility, another is to show the way they were. --24.6.29.122 18:57, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article is about suriving veterans and that is the time frame of reference - today, the here and now. I'm sure that for the history of American enlistment during WW1 a picture of a doughboy from that time period would make a fine addition.

In any event, there are no surviving doughboys from WW1 as far as we are aware, even if the picture was somehow relevant there are a number of serious issues with having a photograph of a generic soldier on such an article anyway - if there were it almost certainly couldn't be an American. If you started putting example pictures of every Allied Powers or Central Powers fighting force then it turns the article into a piece about the uniforms of 1914-1918. American forces didn't even total a small percentage of the total fighting forces to justify an American soldier as being representative - Germany had approx. 2 million casualties, Russia had approx. 1.8 million, France 1.4 Million, Austia-Hungary 1.1, United Kingdom 885,000 and so on, the US had approx. 166,000 casualties. In fact, for the Allied Powers, America only had 2% of the total military casualities. They didn't even enter the war until April 1917, approximately 2 million were sent to the European theatre, there were approx. 65 million combatants all in told. That's not to belittle them, their entry to the war helped bring it to a more rapid close and the contribution was massive - it's just that they are not really representative. This kind of thing has been discussed on the "surviving veterans" board before. RichyBoy 02:30, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that you nominated Surviving veterans of World War I for featured list status and I added my comments to the talk page. I do hope that it makes it and, although I have my doubts, I'll help you out if you need it to give the article the best chance possible. I do consider it an important endeavor.

Also, since it is in your field of interest, if you can provide any help with acquiring a picture for John Babcock, or if you have any other ideas for improving the article, please let me know. I think I've mostly got the image thing down, except for living people. I'd like peer review and then nominate Babcock for Good Article status. I think he and Henry Allingham are the best chances for getting a surviving WWI veteran a Good Article... mayyyybe even featured... before they pass. Canadian Paul 07:58, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think that John Babcock's article is in better condition than Henry Allingham's because Allinghams is mostly proseline still. I'm going to spend some time bringing up Harry Patch to standard now I've almost finished his book. I think I need to spend some time reading some other FA biographies of perhaps "lesser" people to judge how much material is actually required - I feel that we are a little light still. I'll keep an eye out for photos as well. RichyBoy 09:24, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've uploaded a picture of Henry Allingham under the fair-use policy - but I need to wait 48 hours now to see if it is deleted. I don't think it will be though as you don't get many public-domain photographs of a war veteran in full-fig, which may also be a answer to a photo of John Babcock. [1] RichyBoy 11:17, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So that one got deleted, but you managed to get permission for another one - well done! Maybe I should write to VAC for Babcock... Cheers, CP 19:51, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good luck if you do - be careful though you need to ask for more than just plain old permission. If you've not done so already then have a flick through Wikipedia:Finding_images_tutorial and also read this one Wikipedia:Boilerplate_request_for_permission as there is a bit of copy and paste text in there containing the decleration of consent that is required. Good luck! RichyBoy 12:24, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am the one who received the letter from Orin Peterson's Nephew. His Nephew relates that he did not enlist until 1919. However, as in the case of Harry Landis and others, they didn't consider themselves veterans. I have Mr. Peterson's Nephews address, if you would like to write him. Mr. Peterson is blind and unable to write.

You said that you wanted to delete this page of yours? The easiest way for you to do this (if the mods will accept it, they should, but they may not), is to blank the page and then request that it be speedily deleted. If you're unsure how to do this, then just blank the page and let me know, and I'll nominate it for speedy deletion for you. Cheers, CP 17:47, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've blanked it - if you could do the request that would be great. I tried the rfd template and the QD template but rfd template went to articles for redirection and QD was plain broken. RichyBoy 09:08, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've nominated it for Speedy - hopefully that will be the end of it. Cheers, CP 14:51, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You either nominated a WP:FLC or closed such a nomination recently. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started (2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 1 2007, voting starting December 1 2007 and main page appearances starting January 1 2008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual content will resemble the current content at the featured content page. Such output would probably start at the bottom of the main page. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 19:58, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You have nominated a recently successful WP:FL. There have been two recent proposals to begin a List of the Day feature on the main page, which have both received majorities but have not been approved as overwhelming support sufficient to change the main page. WP:LOTDP is a new proposal to try to get the ball rolling based on the original proposal. You can voice your thoughts on its talk page. Basically, what the proposal entails is attempting to run an official trial, and then vote after the trial run on whether to change the main page. Support to run a trial requires much less consensus than support to change the main page. Should we succeed at eventually getting such a feature on the main page it would tentatively look like this. Whether or not you support an experimental trial or not you should come discuss the matter at WP:LOTDP's talk page. I apologize if you have either already voiced your opinion on this matter or already tired of hearing about it.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 21:45, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, User Brown-Haired Girl has waged a campaign to wipe out the entire 'supercentenarians' field on Wikipedia. This has included:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_November_1#Category:Supercentenarian_trackers

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Robert_Young_%28longevity_claims_researcher%29

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Epstein_%28supercentenarian_tracker%29

And, even, a man dead over 100 years:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Thoms

I find it incredulous that one would attack even the man who invented the term 'folklore' and started the field of 'supercentenarian tracking.'

Such mass hysteria seems to be working. User BHG is one of the top-10 editors by edit count on Wikipedia and has lots of friends. I can't imagine most WWI veteran articles surviving if this trend continues. I do urge everyone who considers tracking the oldest-old, whether WWI vets or no, to chime in on these debates.

Sincerely, Robert Young Ryoung122 16:42, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 21:58, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

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]

The co-ordinators invite all project members to get involved by nominating any editor they feel merits recognition for their contributions to the project. Nominations for both awards are open between 00:01 on 2 December 2017 and 23:59 on 15 December 2017. After this, a 14-day voting period will follow commencing at 00:01 on 16 December 2017. Nominations and voting will take place on the main project talkpage: here and here. Thank you for your time. For the co-ordinators, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:35, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings,

To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.
