no problem. I'm just glad this misunderstanding could be solved quickly. --MKnight9989 14:27, 2 May 2007 (UTC) Welcome!Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject!

How do you categorize articles? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MKnight9989 (talk • contribs) 13:09, 10 May 2007 (UTC).
KACI was wondering if you could do me a favor. I need someone to check my article King Armored Car to see if it could be raised to Start-Class Status. I noticed that you were the one who put the notice up on the talk page for the article, so I was wondering if you could check it out; it would be unethical for me to do it. --MKnight9989 14:37, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Guided torpedoHey, sure thing - I'm always happy to help out. :) You can create the redirect yourself. Just create the page like you normally would and just add #REDIRECT [[target]] (where target is the article's name without a URL or any markup). There are some things to keep in mind though (namely this and a few guidelines) but that shouldn't be a problem in this case. Undeletion, on the other hand, requires administrator assistance. Normally, the proper place to request undeletion would be deletion review but it's very unlikely that a regular undeletion request would be approved. Instead, what you want is 'history-only undeletion'. You should probably familiarize yourself with the deletion policy though before you do that. I admit it's a bit bureaucratic but it's necessary to keep the place going. You know what? If you want, I can probably just get the content for you instead and save you the hassle. How does that sound? Cheers, -- Seed 2.0 14:05, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
I appreciate the help alot Seed. If ya ever need help with an article or someone to review an article, just ask me. --MKnight9989 14:31, 22 May 2007 (UTC) Here's the content: A torpedo is a weapon used mainly by submarines, patrol boats, ASW aircraft, and destroyers. A guided torpedo is a complex, yet highly effective weapon. Before a torpedo is launched, the target must be 'boxed in'. What this means is the enemy (most likely a submarine) will be detected by sonar in any direction it goes. The torpedo's mate (or a senior officer) will set an initial search depth at which the enemy submarine is estimated to be operating. The torpedo will start with passive sonar, simply trying to detect the submarine. Once the torpedo's passive sonar has detected something, it will swich over to active sonar and will begin to track the target. This is called 'pinging'. At this point, the submarine has probably started evasive manuevers and may have even deployed a noisemaker. The torpedo, if not fooled by the noise maker, will do it's best to home in on the enemy sub. Please don't repost it like that, of course, but as the original author you're free to reuse the content within other articles. I'm sure Seed can give you advice on sourcing and how to write a good article. Cheers. --kingboyk 21:12, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Sure. I agree - it's looks a bit complex (especially with the cite templates but we'll get to that). The basics are really simple though: just type a <ref> where you want the footnote. That tells the software that the test within the <ref> tags should not be displayed. Within the <ref> tag, you're free to use basically any text which will appear in the footnote. After you're done, all you have to do is close the tag (ie. use the </ref> tag) which tells the software that the text that follows that text isn't part of the footnote. If you're going to use a citation more than once, you can also give the reference a name (ie. <ref name=something>. That way, you only have to type it out once and the software adjusts the numbering accordingly. The Mediawiki software doesn't know where the references are supposed to go though. Usually they should be at the bottom of the article but since there are exceptions, it doesn't automatically insert them. Instead you have to specify where you want them using the <references/> tag. The way those references are rendered by the software can be modified as well but the standard layout should be fine in most cases. That's pretty much all you need to know about the <ref> tag. The only other important thing is that you need to remember to close them or you'll end up with strange results (ie. for every <ref> there needs to be a </ref>). There are also some other ways to cite sources (Harvard, inline). One of those other ways are the {{cite}} templates, which you can see here. Those are good if you're working with a lot of scientific citations, particularly journals because you always end up with a properly formatted source. They pretty much work just like regular <ref> citations but are probably a bit overkill if you just want to have a regular, "hey, this is where I got this from" cite. Hope that helps a bit. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask though (Wikipedia is a pretty policy-rich environment and when you work a lot with policy, there's a risk that you can get ahead of yourself ;).

If you have any specific questions (example: How do you find vandalism?), then feel free to ask me in my talk page. --Mschel 13:26, 29 June 2007 (UTC) No I use internet explorer. I just found some vandalism in the article Bong. When I tried to save the page after reverting the vandalism, someone else beat me to it! Oh well. I'm just glad it's been taken care of. See, I use a school computer so I can't download programs such as vandalproof and such, so I was just looking for generic tips on finding vandalism. Right now I'm just going through the recent chagnes. --MKnight9989 13:29, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

The problom is these were very weapons almost never issued. if u read the title It says common weapons, and they werent common at all and do not belong on the list ive constintly had to revert edits by people who incorrectly mistake them, as common as many media outlets make those weapon seem common when in relity they wernt.

Basically, I have texts from several copyrighted sources there, and it all needs to be combined and rewritten. Rewriting's not my strong suit, and I keep procrastinating doing this. You don't have to know much about the topics, just be able to understand what you read, and be able to rewrite it in a readable manner.

Dragon Warrior 3I totally think we can get the dw3 article to good status. One of the main problems I had with the Dragon Quest VI article was in-game quotes (because i didnt want to play it again xD). But if you're in the middle of playing it, it would be so useful if you could write down important things the characters say that could be used as references to the story, setting, or characters. Besides that, if you see anything on any websites, etc, that you think is useful, see if you can work it into the article. References are what's going to get the article to good (just look at those final fantasy articles with the 100+ references). Glad to see someone else wants to help the DW articles! ^_^ Evaunit666 01:56, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

I am sure that perhaps you already knew this. I myself just found out. Anyhow during the debate many mean and rude things where said. I am not innocent myself; I too contributed to the unpleasantness. But now Wikipedia Users’ Alliance is dead, gone forever. But we all must move on, for me and my friends, we have to deal with this loss. However it is important that all of us work together to fight vandalism and not argue with one another. There are many things that I want to say, but I know that they would only add to the mean sprit that fills the “air”. As a Buddhist (Risshō Kōsei Kai) I was reading the Holy Dhammapada yesterday. I came across this line, “Holding onto anger is like holding on to a hot coal with the intent to throw it at someone, in the end you are the one who gets burned,” how true! Lets us progress forward. WUA Founder User: King of Nepal has expressed similar views such as these to me via e-mail. His majesty said, “We have to move on, move forward.
