Battle of Mannheim patrolled. Initial impressions

Hi. Looking ok, could do with some expansion, more inline sources, an intro would be good. Looks a good basis for a longer article when additional material can be got. As it is it's a good stub. Nice style. Cheers! Irondome (talk) 23:33, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Wurst Farm

Capture of Wurst Farm is in better shape, although still too short of detail about the 58th Division. I'd be grateful for a second opinion. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 11:26, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Rhine Campaign of 1796

Hi, Battle of Kehl failed at FA because there were no responses other than an image review. I'll resub in a week or two. What do you think about getting this entire series ready for A class and up? We can organize this, I'm sure. auntieruth (talk) 16:12, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

  • What do you propose when you say get the "entire series ready"? Do you mean Rhine Campaign of 1796? Should I submit my articles (Battle of Neresheim, Rhine Campaign of 1796) for GA? Keep in mind I can only manage one really 1st-class article per week, at most. Thanks. Djmaschek (talk) 02:10, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Citations

I prefer citations at the ends of sentences. Where sentences and passages have two or more citations, the sentence usually has punctuation so it's obvious what part the first citation refers to. Bearing in mind that for most articles citations are a formality, I think it helps the flow. Just a thought....Keith-264 (talk) 06:49, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

  • Keith-264: I want to thank you especially for your edit to Capture of Wurst Farm in which you took an article that was rated Start class (by two editors) and improved it to B class. Thank you also for your edits on Battle of Wattignies and Antoine Balland. Please note that I appreciate your weeding out the typos and syntax errors. However I may re-edit some edits. In your note above you may be referring to the following sentence. "As it was, Élie lost 400 men and 12 artillery pieces, while only 138 casualties were suffered[46] by Benjowsky's division[47]." You paired the two citations at the end while I split them up again. Here's why. I followed Phipps [46] to describe the engagement in some detail but he omitted the information about Benjowsky which was provided by Cust [47]. I split out the Cust citation because it only described the combat in a cursory way ("drove him back ... and took 12 guns"). I try to be as accurate as possible in my placement of citations even if it means breaking up a sentence. Citing everything sometimes causes my writing to be choppy, but citations are what Wikipedia requires for B class articles. Djmaschek (talk) 03:03, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
I know it's just as justified and I used to do it too. For me the flow matters more now, unless the details are challenged, which I find a rarity. All my edits of other peoples' prose is suggestive, rather than directive and I follow the rule of thumb that on uncontentious passages, one citation per paragraph per source is usually sufficient. I often put a few more in so I can juggle the length of paragraphs, after I've put the photos and maps in. RegardsKeith-264 (talk) 05:44, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Jean François Aimé Dejean

with this edit you added and state in the comment "Add Clerget ref."

You have added a reference to a source in the references section. But as you have not added a short citation or changed the text of the article, what is the point of the reference as it does not support the text in the body of the article. If it belongs anywhere it would be in a "Further reading" section, but as it is in French, I do not see the point of placing it there. -- PBS (talk) 22:41, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

  • The reference is for the data in the military succession box which I had added at the bottom. I added a sentence with 2 citations for Clerget in the narrative section. Djmaschek (talk) 23:11, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
Thanks. -- PBS (talk) 23:25, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

I revered your template to Waterloo Campaign: Waterloo to Paris (18–24 June) it is not a copyright violation to copy text from a copyright expired text, as that text is in the public domain. As this particular text was published well before 1923 it is out of copyright.

Karl Christian von Le Coq

Thanks. I wrote a series of article about the days in the Waterloo Campaign for which Wikipedia had no articles. To supplement the articles, I had to write quite a few subsidiary articles both on places and biographies on people. For this man it was to support Waterloo Campaign: Waterloo to Paris (18–24 June). The trickiest one was Ernst Ludwig Wilhelm von Bismarck because he died the year Otto von Bismarck was born so finding information on him proved difficult as it was overwhelm by the information on his more famous younger relative.

Thanks for the article on the Battle of Courtrai (1814) it was an interesting read. I think it would be a good idea to copy the surrounding detailed background information should either be copied into a stand alone campaign article, or added as a section to Campaign in north-east France (1814).

Spanish stuff

Thank you for the extra school photos! They're very beautiful! The Bess Campbell one was good for Greatwood, Texas!

Anyhow I wanted to add Spanish descriptions to the photos. I did a site search and found a document on the LCISD site which gives translations for the names of the levels: https://www.lcisd.org/docs/default-source/departments/academics/gifted-talented/general/gifted-and-talented-handbook-(spanish).pdf?sfvrsn=2

on page 10 (document p. 11 of 58) it gives primaria, media, secundaria, and preparatoria, respectively, for elementary, middle, junior high, and high school. I will use that naming scheme for LCISD schools, so "Jones Elementary School" in English is "Escuela Primaria Jones" in Spanish. WhisperToMe (talk) 08:59, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

March Madness 2017

G'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.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the typo fixes! Yeah, that's interesting! BTW do you have family in the Chicago area interested in taking photos for the Commons? I have some Chicago area requests too.
