[edit] The Mousetrap
Hello. I changed your revisions on the "Mousetrap" page back to the previous one. While I can understand your reasoning, I had a look at several other Wikipedia articles about books (including mystery ones) and plays, and in most of then, the ending is given away, if after the spoiler tag. Therefore I think it is more in tune with the other Wikipedia articles, if we name the murderer. There is a warning for everybody after all, and they can decide if they want to read the solution or not. Neville Longbottom 22:41, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Changes to RAAF squadron entries
That's interesting, that is not the website i got it from!! I'll fix it later. Rob
Hi Rob, Rather than leave formatting for other people to tidy up, could you please enter it yourself? If you would like each call sign to appear on a new line, then enter < br > (without the spaces between <,> and br) between each call sign. Also, please don't copy and paste squadron histories from RAAF or other Australian Department of Defence websites as this material is covered by copyright and will be removed - I've removed this from the No. 77 Squadron RAAF entry for example. --Nick Dowling 09:03, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to the Military history WikiProject!
Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.
A few features that you might find helpful:
- Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
- The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPMILHIST Announcements}} there.
- Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
- The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available.
There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—and wherever—you'd like:
- Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines outline some things to include.
- Interested in working on a more complete article? The military history peer review and collaboration departments would welcome your help!
- Working on featured-level articles? We have some advice for nominators, and an A-Class review process to help check high-quality articles.
- Want to help with specific requests for assistance? Our requests page has extensive lists of requested articles, images, maps, and translations.
- Interested in a particular area of military history? We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, or periods.
- Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every military history article in Wikipedia.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lokshin 01:50, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Australia: Don Bradman
G'Day, I didn't know exactly who to ask, but your name was at the top of the WP:Aus participants list, so I came here. What is the process for ranking articles on the importance scale? I think Don Bradman deserves to be included in the Top-importance articles and would support its nomination. (I'm sure I don't have to list my reasons here, as they are pretty obvious).

[edit] Warning vandals
Hello, Mcgrath50! Thank you for reverting vandalism to Wikipedia. After you revert, I would recommend also warning the users whose edits you revert on their talk pages with an appropriate template or custom message. This will serve to direct new users towards the sandbox, educate them about Wikipedia, and a stern warning to a vandal may prevent him or her from vandalizing again. Thanks! --AW 22:00, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
