Help
editThank you so much
Been a little harder than I thought for an old man

Thank you again

- Apologies for the short delay. Firstly, welcome, and thank you for asking questions, and working on a draft, instead of posting a new page with problems. I will offer some ideas and thoughts, which I hope will be constructive criticism;
- At the beginning, you do not need a title, ie "The Silver Star Families of America". The page will, when live, be actually called something like "Silver Star Families of America", so that will appear at the top. You should start off with the name in bold, within the first paragraph;
The Silver Star Families of America was founded in 2004...
- I am not sure that "silverstarfamilies.org" will be considered a reliable source; it may be acceptable for some facts, as a primary source, but the article should have independent references to support notability - see WP:ORG.
- Wikipedia itself cannot be used as a reference, e.g. your ref to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_flag - instead, use a 'wikilink'. For example, you would put [[Service flag]] within the text, which then appears as a wikilink, Service flag. To link one word to another, you put e.g. [[Service flag|Service Banners]], which links the words "Service Banners" to the article entitled 'Service Flag'. So, you would put something like;
...when the Blue and Gold Star [[Service flag|Service Banners]] were adopted...
...which will appear as;
...when the Blue and Gold Star Service Banners were adopted...
- For more on that, see WP:LINKING.
- The 'Usage' section, and other parts, do not have references. Please reference everything to reliable sources. See WP:V
- It is not appropriate to quote the "Organizational Pledge" in the article.
- In 'External links', you should link to the external website in this format; *[http://www.silverstarfamilies.org/ Silver Star Families of America Website]. The asterisk (*) makes a bullet-point. It will look like this;
- Silver Star Families of America Website
- Please be aware of the policies regarding a conflict of interest. - if this is a factor, please see WP:BESTCOI, WP:BFAQ.
I hope this helps. Please ask for more help, any time.
You may also wish to 'speak' to helpers, with this link; I hope to see you there.

File:Silver over blue.jpg
editHi there
For that picture File:Silver over blue.jpg you attemtped to get permission, but it was permission for the wrong thing. For a picture to be here it has to be free for every one to use and modify. We have special licenses that achieve this CC-BY-SA-3.0 which make sure that there is an attribution. The picture you uploaded was only for Wikipedia, and needed a link back to the web site (difficult). If you can get that group to give a free license like that and prove it with WP:PERMIT then it would be possible to have such a picture. Otherwise I suggest that you take another photo yourself that you can give away. Have a good day. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 05:33, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
User talk:Chzz/Archive 19
editHi, just a quick note. As you may have noticed, my talk page is often very busy, and I have to frequently archive things to keen sane. My feedback on SSFOA is now in User talk:Chzz/Archive 19. Please do let me know if/when you'd like more tips or anything. Best, Chzz ► 06:11, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
{{Helpme}}
I was about ready to go live and someone edited my page. And they did a great job.
When I changed the page name to The Silver Star Families of America and hit move, it kicked me clear off the site. I cant find the page or the edit. I am lost
Steven1969 (talk) 18:57, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
- If the page you mean is "The Silver Star Families of America", it's still at User:Steven1969/The Silver Star Families of America, but no-one else has edited that lately - is that the one you mean?
- The way to move it is, first click "Move", then fill in the new name on the form you get, then click "Move page" on that form. JohnCD (talk) 19:07, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
Thanks JohnSteven1969 (talk) 23:12, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
Ideas
editHello again. Sorry about all that 'archiving' mix-up; it is confusing; unfortunately, my talk page gets quite busy sometimes, and unless things are archived it gets too long and unwieldy. So, I archived our chat, and thought I would reply here, so that you had the links handy.
You asked about new pages patrol, and yes, that's a fine idea. It's good because you can just fix up pages that you know what to do with, and ignore ones that you don't - you will soon pick up more knowledge by doing that.
There are many other diverse areas on Wikipedia, so what you do depends very much on your personal tastes - some editors like to make minor fixes to articles, some write featured articles, others work 'behind the scenes' - for example, helping to decide which articles to delete, and that sort of thing.
You might be interested in the cleanup campaign, requested articles, requests for feedback, or the huge backlog of tasks.
You could help out with peer reviews, look at the newest articles, or maybe just something random.
One of the best ways to get involved is to join some projects - you could browse them in projects. For example - you might be interested in the military history project, which is one of the largest.
Hopefully, this will give you some ideas. Cheers, Chzz ► 10:03, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
Outstanding and thank you Chzz!Steven1969 (talk) 16:06, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Issues
editCan you elaborate on the "issues" that were involved with the Clarence Murphy article? You didn't specify in the edit summary or on the talk page. Thanks. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 01:38, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
Hey Brian
[[1]]
This page, in my opinion is a stub or at most a start page.
Is there anyway to fill out the article?
A picture?
More stats or information?
I understand that as a footnote in history, especially in baseball, all stats are important. But can you explain why?
Just my opinion.
I would encourage you to keep researching.
And I thank you for all your work
If I can help let me know.
Steven1969 (talk) 03:20, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
Hummmm
Well Brian I see your problem. And I think I know what you are trying to do.
There IS no information on Murphy at least that I can find.
If you are setting a page for stats I understand
But I still feel like it is incomplete
I dont know how to helpSteven1969 (talk) 03:48, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- Often, players from the 19th century have little-to-no information on them (as the case with this article and a player like Robert Brown (baseball)). Per WP:ATH, and WP:WPBB/N players are notable if they appeared in a major league game. Contrary to your point, there is information on Murphy as seen here, and here. I think your point is not that the article has issues, your point is, the subject in question is lacking in notability. Am I correct? --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 05:05, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- I would also like to point out that the assertion that my research is lacking is incorrect. As you said yourself, there is nothing (except the refs provided) that can be used in the Murphy article. The article was made with no birth date, not death date, not place of birth/death, or no extensive stats simply because records from the 19th century on baseball players were not well kept. As I said, consensus at WP:WPBB is that he is notable as a Major League Baseball player. I don't think it's my research that is flawed, I think it's the records that are. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 05:13, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Feedback archived
editHi there.
A while ago, you requested feedback in WP:FEED. Because it has been a while, and you'd received at least some response there, I have now archived the replies in Wikipedia:Requests for feedback/Archive/26. Please do not edit that page though; if you require further feedback, add a new request on WP:FEED.
I am trying to clear the backlogs; it would help us a lot if you could look at the requests from other users on WP:FEED and add any comments to help them out. Anyone can respond there, so please do take a look, and comment on the articles from other people.
If you want help with anything at all, you could either;
- Leave a message on my own talk page;
OR - Use a {{helpme}} - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put {{helpme}}, and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~~~~ at the end;
OR - Talk to us live, with this or this.
The last of those is particularly useful - please try it; pop in now and say hello. Best, Chzz ► 04:05, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

March Madness 2017
editG'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.

2017 Military Historian of the Year and Newcomer of the Year nominations and voting
editAs we approach the end of the year, the Military History project is looking to recognise editors who have made a real difference. Each year we do this by bestowing two awards: the Military Historian of the Year and the Military History Newcomer of the Year. 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)
User group for Military Historians
editGreetings,
"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group.
