Argentine Army

Another Link from saorbats.ar.com about the Order of battle of the Argentine Army: http://www.saorbats.com.ar/EA_orbat.htm It is quite complicated and confusing and I don't know how up to date it is, but if you need any help in translating it, I would be glad to help you.

An updated version of the Argentine Army Orbat (as of January 2008) can be found at that same site: [1]. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.235.90.117 (talk) 04:16, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Uruguayan Army

Although I couldn't find the Army of this nation in your to-do-list, perhaps you are interested in drawing a structure of it, as there is a very actual orbat on the page I already talked to you about: http://www.saorbats.com.ar/ORBAT%20-%20Uruguay%20-%20ENU.htm

Bulgarian military

Hey, I saw you needed some more info about the structural organization of the Bulgarian army. Its hard to find such even here, because our ministry of defence classifies most of the information on the military, but here is some info that can probably help you:

• Ranks
• Main services are:
  • Liaison brigade - responsible for communications, currently that is 62nd Liaison Brigade (62-ra svarzochna brigada)
  • Logistics brigade - responsible for logistics, 110th Logistics Support Brigade, or simply The Logistics Brigade (110-a brigada za logistichna podkrepa)
  • Joint Operative Command - responsible for organizing different sorts of operations, including overseas, training, planning, etc.
  • Land forces
    • 61th Stryamska Mechanized Brigade (elite land forces) - Karlovo
    • 68th Brigade (elite land forces)
    • 9th Armored Brigade (tank forces, T-72 equipped) - Gorna Banya

Hellenic Air Force

Here is a link that presents the current orgasization in english [2], and in greek [3]. I am not sure if you are interested also in graphics of Air Forces, but if so I think it will be helpful. Papastis (talk) 10:30, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Noclador, in the following days I intent to rewrite the history section of the article about the Hellenic Army based in a variety of sources. One of them in particular is a book published by the Hellenic Army's History Department entitled History of the Hellenic Army 1912-1997. It has some graphics conserning the organization of the Army in different chronologies (1926,1939,1940,1941,1946,1950,1967,1974), would you be interested in recreating those, if of course you had the time? Thanks for your time anyway. Papastis (talk) 15:37, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

hey,

for lfca and 33 brigade the comunication regiments have now joined the actual land enviroment so they are now included in the brigade and are not support units —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.240.188.223 (talk) 02:01, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Can you explain why you removed the combat aviation brigade from the section per Current Structure: update structure (no Aviation Brigade anymore for the 4th Inf. Div.) site still says its assigned.--Shattered Wikiglass (talk) 09:51, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. - BillCJ (talk) 07:20, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Your email

Thanks for your email. There's a bit of a misunderstanding here, I'm afraid. The situation here is that, as a separate article dealing with the order of battle exists, the main Italian Army article needs only a summary of the other article's content. How this works in practice is explained in Wikipedia:Summary style. I can see from the article's history that you've worked long and hard on this sio I can understand your sensitivity. Please accept my assurances that User:Piccolo Modificatore Laborioso is not vandalising this but following normal custom. In the circumstances, it is probably best if you stopped reverting.

All the best, --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 16:02, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Copied from User talk:Roger Davies

I saw a huge orbat somewhere yesterday (1986?), other than in the Italian Army article, and assumed (wrongly, it seems) that you'd broken it out to a third article. I don't think generally that orbats sit well in narrative articles (be they about formations or battles) as lists interrupt the flow too much. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 12:55, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Er, Roger, I believe I have to correct you there. We have a list of regiments at the subsidiary article, while Noclador is concerned with the chain of command and dispositions - 'Order of battle' - of the Army; two different things. Noclador, the overweightiness of the main article is correct, but you are also correct. The precedent for dealing with this situation is pages like List of formations of the Turkish Army 2008 and Structure of the United States Armed Forces - split them away separately. Don't fight the reversions, but split away a page maybe at Chain of Command of the Italian Army 2008 - include the date, because these things are always changing and it is better to start a new page than have it updated in some sections and not in others - and then link it back into the main Italian Army page. Hope that helps, and don't bother breaking your 3RR limits for this. We can fix it! Best regards Buckshot06(prof) 16:44, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Okay, slightly crossed wires but essentially pointing towards the same conclusion. Anyhow, I'm glad to see that you and Eurocopter are here; and I'm very happy indeed to back out leaving it in your very capable hands. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 13:00, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Buckshot - that is exactly what I tried to tell everyone- they are two different things. Rather than splitting the OrBat away I would prefer to make like in the German Italian Army article, were only the Brigades are listed (but each brigade has its own article)... as of now only 3 brigades have their own articles, so your idea to split the OrBat away into an own article is at the moment the only feasible solution. I will start that work right away (hoping that it doesn't get deleted by someone to eager...) --noclador (talk) 17:07, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

As I also said on the article's talk page, the current list of active units is only a list, whereas the OrBat section represented the actual subordinations of units (so, I agree with Buckshot here). --Eurocopter (talk) 17:52, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Noclador, by looking at DOTMILPF (Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership and Education, Personnel, and Facilities) plus history I think you might agree that a full listing of an ORBAT isn't really justified on the main army page. Each of those sections deserves a full discussion, and then there's all of an army's history to add too. Anyway, United States Marine Corps is our template for this, being an FA, and Russian Ground Forces is also a good model, being de-FA'd for reasons that had nothing to do with its overall structure. I should hasten to add that the listing of units at RGF only covers manoeuvre units and only to division/brigade level. Thus I don't believe the German wiki article is a particularly good model. I should say Noclador that I'd urge you to put a paragraph of explanation at the top of Operational Structure of the Italian Army, which would prevent context notices being added, and it needs to be added to Category:Orders of battle. Buckshot06(prof) 20:20, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

What was your source for the 1984 Italian Army order of battle, by the way? Would you mind adding it, please? Cheers Buckshot06(prof) 20:36, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Historic Armies

Your army graphics are wonderful work, and I am very pleased that you are starting to make them for historic armies. Would you consider doing charts showing typical division organizations for the powers of World War II? (USA, Britain, Germany, USSR, Italy, Japan, etc.) --Lunar Dragoon (talk) 00:26, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

This site [4] has realms of information on many WWII countries, both unit organizations and high level orders of battle. --Lunar Dragoon (talk) 17:32, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

ORBATs (British Army)

The only changes that will have taken place will be the rotation of light infantry battalions. For the sake of completeness, I have listed the entire Regular Infantry below, with as best as I can determine their current postings:

1 GREN GDS - 11 Bde/London Dist	1 SCOTS - 52 Bde	1 PWRR - 20 Bde	1 LANCS - 4 Bde	1 MERCIAN - 4 Bde	1 R IRISH - 16 Bde	1 RIFLES - 3 Bde
1 CLDM GDS - 1 Bde	2 SCOTS - 52 Bde	2 PWRR - Cyprus	2 LANCS - Cyprus	2 MERCIAN - 19 Bde	2 PARA - 16 Bde	2 RIFLES - 19 Bde

1 IG - London Dist	4 SCOTS - 7 Bde	2 RRF - 12 Bde/London Dist	2 YORKS - 11 Bde	1 R WELSH - 11 Bde	1 RGR - Brunei	4 RIFLES - 1 Bde

		2 R ANGLIAN - 7 Bde

And yes, by all means redraw the maps. Hammersfan 07/01/09, 10.14 GMT

I would say with the maps that I think you've used too many colours that look similar, so it may be difficult to tell certain areas apart - I'd suggest using as many contrasting colours as possible. If you don't have enough in the standard pallet, then make some up. Hammersfan 08/01/09, 09.50 GMT

Naval OrBat

Hi noclador! Sorry to be bothering you again, but I've resumed work on my IDF schematic (it's indeed taking much longer than I had hoped), and would like to include the navy and air force. Unfortunately, I still don't fully understand the color scheme you used for the IDF, and can't copy the navy part because I haven't found any of your OrBat graphics related to navies. Can you please tell me what color to use for naval formations? A full explanation of the color scheme would be more helpful, but you probably don't have time for this if it's not ready in a document. You e-mailed me some files a while ago, but they don't seem to explain the color scheme, just the App-6 symbols. Cheers, Ynhockey ^(Talk) 09:39, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm still working on the overall IDF chart, and made this interim diagram. Please tell me what you think! -- Ynhockey ^(Talk) 19:45, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

I followed your advice. Not much of a difference IMO, but maybe it did become more clear to those unfamiliar with the subject. Cheers! -- Ynhockey ^(Talk) 15:24, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Help please: Milhist A-class medal

• 
  Existing version with laurel wreath, based on bronze wiki
• 
  Example of oakleaves
• 
  Example of swords
• 
  Bronze: "W" and stand needs removing
• 
  Silver: "W" and stand needs removing
• 
  Gold: "W" and stand needs removing

Now that I've seen what lovely graphic work you do, I was wondering whether I could ask you for a big favour :)

We are currently giving out an A-class medal for editors who write three A-class articles. It's above.

We'd like to redesign it slightly and introduce two more variations. The design will be essentially the same as the existing version but with changed colours and added elements.

1. standard version: blue cross, bronze background wiki, bronze laurel wreath
2. oakleaves version: blue cross, silver background wiki, green oakleaf wreath
3. swords version: blue cross, gold background wiki, gold crossed swords; green oakleaf wreath

Is it possible you could design these and make the artwork for us please? --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 04:12, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

You can have twelve if you like :) --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 11:37, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

hello

Hello my friend, I left a message for you, Supparluca, and Gun Power Ma. We use just one convention across the cities. Bolzano-Bozen for the province, Bolzano for the city (i.e., English usage). In general for all places in Italy, we were using the national language Italian first, then the primary local languages second. We don't use "Bolzano-Bozen" for Merano and then "Bozen-Bolzano" for Ritten. That is just confusing!! :P talk to you later, Icsunonove (talk) 21:35, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

i wasn't done editing yet! :P Icsunonove (talk) 22:02, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

ok, i'm finished with the editing now, can you check it out? I see you are having a very exciting time over this bridge. :P Icsunonove (talk) 22:13, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

"a very exciting time" thanks to you - Icsunonove. -- 22:52, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Noclador, what is your problem, why are you being so aggressive? I thought of you as a fair editor, but now you are making accusations as well? Also, we placed Isarco, because that is what the English encyclopedias use. English usage is what we use overall, the second route is local-language usage. I'm really disappointed in this sort of aggressive behavior you are bringing back to these articles. Icsunonove (talk) 01:48, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

• What is with these accusations you are making? This is getting really annoying. What do you mean I don't like the cities explanation? I don't care either way. You are really falling into this pit of politics, Noclador. Are you going to degrade into someone like Martin Se?? I only want all these articles to be balanced and always keep a full respect of the multicultural history of this region. I'm sickened by the people who want to make it only one way or another. If I need to make further adjustments to the article, that is fine. But the insinutations you make, are frankly, discusting. Get yourself out of it Noclador.. Icsunonove (talk) 01:55, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

• • So dear Noclador, can you check my most recent attempt at the article? I really don't know why you have to revert and say "vandalism". Can you explain to me why you do that?? Icsunonove (talk) 02:09, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

• • • With your insinuations and accusations that I'm trying to push POV or discredit the mayor of Merano, I learn today that you are an extremely insecure individual Noclador. I sincerely hope you deal with that in some way, because you were much more relaxed and pleasant before. Good luck with that. Icsunonove (talk) 03:08, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
