[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 quite regularly. 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 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—or little—you 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!
- 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 00:44, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Template
Which template do you mean? I can think of a couple:
- {{User WPMILHIST}} - a little userbox indicating your membership
- {{WPMILHIST Announcements}} - the announcement/open task box
- {{WPMILHIST Navigation}} - the navigation bar
Is one of them the one you mean? (In all cases, you just add the appropriate template name between sets of double curly braces to the page in order to include it.) Kirill Lokshin 01:08, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Titanic life boats
Do you have a reference for the addition you made about Titanic's captain ordering the lifeboats lowered half-empty? In my extensive reading, I've not come across this. When adding such a statement, a footnote with a reference would be most helpful. Akradecki 20:45, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- I added a reference to a book that does not confirm it but it highly suggests it.Noha307 22:03, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lloyd Allan Trigg
Hey, the reason Victoria Cross was not a link (I think) is because earlier in that paragraph the post-nominal VC is linked there. Just thought I would let you know... with or without your last edit to this article, I don't think there is much of a difference anyways. BigNate37(T) 02:49, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] [[Unterseeboot 405]
It would be super helpful if you could write an intro to the article on Unterseeboot 405 so that unfamiliar readers could, you know, read about it. NickelShoe (Talk) 18:37, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
- I know I just was trying to start as many Unterseeboot articles as I can, so I'm being very brief. Noha307 19:26, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, but it's not like the article is short. There is no article. And you wrote it back in August, so it would be great if you could go back and fix it now. NickelShoe (Talk) 04:35, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry not right now, but it does help more than a blank page. Noha307 19:38, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
