Thanks for your help. Im a bit less stressed now. Hope nobody will block me if the vandals are using my username again, cheers.

PS: Military history is one of my hobbies and I really like your articles about the Battle of Ceresole and Italian War of 1521. Eurocopter Tigre 21:14, 15 March 2007 (EET)

request

Can you please delete the Dorin Danilă article. The real name of the chief of the Romanian Naval Forces is Dorin Dănilă(I also created an article with his real name). Cheers, Eurocopter Tigre 16:27, 17 March 2007

Portal update:

Hello my friend! Some users have suggested a new update for the Portal:Dinosaurs (You like what I've done with the place?), a DYK section. What I was thinking was adding another random section so that a continuous supply of DYKs circulated. However, I've tried adding this box, but have failed. If you'd be able to do the skeleton again for me, I can finish it again. Where I'd like would be right below the selected picture section, yet to the right so that it slots right of the selected article section. So if you could make it only a short box & in that palce, I can do the rest. Thansk if you can. :) Spawn Man 03:25, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Hmm... I have tried that but it failed. All it did was add a large box below both the picture & article section - I want it slotted in between the articles & below the image section. Unless I did something wrong, which is very likely... :) Spawn Man 03:51, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

I must be missing something

Do others not check, not care? Should I stop reviewing sources? [1] This has happened numerous times recently—I mention that publishers aren't specified, the article is promoted, and when I check the publishers after the fact, I find we have another FA based on non-reliable sources. Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:15, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Well reasoned, as usual :-) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:41, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Re:

Sorry about not being that active over the last month, Kirill but I have been very busy. But I have been reading all the comments on the coo-ordinators page almost daily. I am on holidays now so I will be more active. Bye. Kyriakos 02:52, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

semi-plagarism

Kirill,

I am a (also) a member of a (relatively) new wikiproject: Musical Instruments. In light of the great organizational structure, templates, userboxes, etc... that the Military History WP has developed, do you mind of I "borrow" some of the MilHist content and copy/customize it for MusInst? Thanks - NDCompuGeek 14:29, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

RE Campaigns

Kirill, Totally agree. Have moved all longer time-frame operations from battles and ops of the Vietnam War to the Campaign category. RM Gillespie 15:40, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

LaRouche and shifting the topic

Here is the core of the problem as I have watched it for over 30 years. A journalist researches and writes an article about LaRouche based on documents and interviews. As soon as it is published or broadcast, the journalist becomes part of the grand conspiracy against LaRouche. Suddenly, a respectable journalist is "part of the story." Therefore the journalist is "biased." Repeat in endless loop. Here on Wikipedia, editors have spent hundreds of hours battling over my published articles about LaRouche. Ultimately, I am able to document every allegation. The pro-LaRouche editor continues to protest and object, until banned from the article. Repeat in endless loop. Every time this happens, Wikipedia becomes a way to spread the same (and new) false and defamatory statements about me that are stored forever on the Wiki servers. Can you appreciate why I am frustrated and do not see any benefit in revisiting this process? I am sorry if you found my comments not appropriate on the arbitration page, but I really do think what I was trying to explain is part of the issue. Reputable published sources make allegations about LaRouche. When they are properly cited here, the pro-LaRouche editors attack the credibility of me and other Wiki editors. It is a pattern. Wiki is being gamed in a way that ensures false and defamatory statements about me and Dennis King are endlessly recycled.--Cberlet 01:31, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

OK, I see your point, and will trust your judgement.--Cberlet 01:45, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks again for your help (with the new box on the portal...) Bye. :) Spawn Man 03:31, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

IRC

Would it be possible for me to catch you on IRC? -- Cat ^chi? 17:49, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Nope, sorry; generally speaking, I don't use IRC. Kirill Lokshin 17:50, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Do you have a gmail account? Gmail chat would also work. -- Cat ^chi? 17:54, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Frankly, I would suggest that my talk page (or email, for more private matters) are likely to be the most useful ways of communicating. Kirill Lokshin 18:00, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

As you wish, I'll prefer the public option then. The issue at hand is WP:RfAr#Category:Kurdistan. I was wondering if you could reconsider your position. Since you posted your opinion on the rfar page, I have gathered some additional evidence.

My reason in filing the case was not to find a solution to the actual content dispute. Several users have had been revert waring while avoiding/ignoring any discussion. The two mediation cases failed because of their inactivity.

Coordinator work

Hey, is there any MILHIST coordinator work (updating assessment statistics, maintaining the active members list, etc.) you'd like to pass along to someone else? I'm sure you have scripts, etc., to do most of the actual work, but if there are any tasks you'd like to foist on to one of us, I'm more than willing to take on a little extra work - provided you can give a little bit of guidance... Carom 00:11, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, it will be time consuming, but I think it will be worth it. One way to go about it would be to create a subpage somewhere (userspace, maybe?) that divides the project members by their stated interests/specialties. Creating such a list would be time-intensive, but would be fairly easy to maintain, and would also make it fairly easy to find 8 or 10 (or more) users who might be interested in a particular review, as we could make it as fine-grained as we liked. Carom 01:05, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

That's probably a better location for it. I'd be willing to start compiling the list - provided, of course, that that seems like the best course of action. Presumably we'd notify editors with some kind of subst'd template that would produce a message like "An article that you may be interested in, Example Article, has been nominated for (A/FA/Peer) Review. If you would like to contribute, you can do so here (discussion subpage). If you would prefer not to recieve these notifications in future, please leave a comment here (coordinators talk page?)." Or something to that effect? Carom 01:20, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

OK, I've left a note on the coordinator talk page, and in a few minutes I'll set up the page itself (although any actual work might have to wait until I get home from work later on tonight). Carom 01:39, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

It's a fair point - I'll add whatever specifications, etc. have been provided by the members. Carom 04:14, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Chevron

Thank you for the award. I look forward to continued work and cooperation with everyone in the project. Cla68 02:22, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the support in the RfA. It doesn't look like it's going to pass now, but I appreciate your vote of confidence. Cla68 20:43, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Falun Gong RfAr case

I'm not sure how to initiate a remedy (and besides the workshop page was not used very much). Since these people are attacking others, maybe personal attack paroles for some of the users would be appropriate for consideration? - Penwhale | ^{Blast him / Follow his steps} 04:46, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Fun stuff

Yeah, thanks for the heads up on that. Do too many things at once and I lose track of what i reverted and when... Carom 05:12, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Portal layout

Hi Kirill. Could you please help me on the Ottoman portal layout? The discussion is found here. Thanks in advance. -- FayssalF - ^{Wiki me up ®} 15:23, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
