G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:
tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various 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 scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.
I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take no more than 1-2 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.
I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Mickey Mouse Costume.JPG
Thank you for uploading File:Mickey Mouse Costume.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

“Enslaver” -Stop reverting revisions w/o any sourcing
This is not a POV problem, this is recorded fact. Robert E. Lee and family racially enslaved people, without such actions they would not have an encyclopedia article about them. They even committed treason and took up arms against their own country to fight to continue this practice. This is well documented, why is there controversy?

Heads-up, this edit, in addition to what I think you were trying to do, also broke four image links. I've fixed the images, but I wanted to alert you to the problem. I'm not familiar with the MOSNUM script, so I don't know exactly why that happened there.--Noren (talk) 00:30, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

This hot Tom and Jerry is an old-time drink that is once used by one and all in this country to celebrate Christmas with, and in fact it is once so popular that many people think Christmas is invented only to furnish an excuse for hot Tom and Jerry, although of course this is by no means true.

Sorceror vs. Philosopher
Hi Jojhutton, I saw your edit summary but I don't see any long-standing community consensus on this matter at Talk:Chris Columbus (filmmaker). There's only one IP address who proposed the British title be the one included, about 3 years ago, and my comment agreeing to it. I'd like there to be more discussion on it, but let's not just revert each other without a discussion. JimKaatFan (talk) 14:14, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Custom signature fix needed
Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.
The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error, specifically formatting tags that are in the wrong order.
The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Remove anything in the Signature: text box.
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in discussions about infoboxes and to edits adding, deleting, collapsing, or removing verifiable information from infoboxes. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
Well this just reeks of an attempt to silence someone who has a different opinion. It might appear to be friendly, but the intent is clear.--JOJHutton12:54, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
It is a pre-formatted template to warn people about the discretionary sanctions. The only "intent" is to make you aware of those sanctions. - SchroCat (talk) 12:57, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
And everthing will be okay just so long as people hold the same opinion as the so-called consensus. But if they do 't, they will be sanctioned. Intent is vert clear.--JOJHutton13:00, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
Sorry you have to deal with this guy Jojhutton. He is vehemently anti-infobox and anytime he attaches himself to an page (mostly British actors from what I can tell) he refuses to allow infoboxes on them and gets very condescending when others question why. He brings down the quality of said articles and I wish he wouldn't be so headstrong about them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.22.123.111 (talk) 00:50, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I fully appreciate your support in assisting my seeking of an infobox for Ian Fleming. However, I don't think constantly attacking dissenting editors and accusing them of bad faith is going to help our cause. Please assume good faith, respect others' opinions (while still offering counterarguments without bludgeoning every single one), and be civil yourself, and we'll have a better shot at attaining what we're seeking.

Custom signature fix needed
Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.
The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error, specifically formatting tags that are obsolete and in the wrong order.
The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Remove anything in the Signature: text box.
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
As I said before, my signature looks fine and is causing no problem for anyone who sees it. I've looked at it both logged in and not logged in and there isn't any problem with it. I've looked over the guidelines and it doesn't appear that my signature violates any guideline as it is written now. Please stop messaging me as it seems like a solution in search of a problem.--JOJHutton21:12, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
Your signature has a misnested font tag in the "User talk" section. That creates an error every time you put your signature on a page. It also interferes with the proper operation of syntax highlighting tools. Because there is an error in your signature, it is reasonable to assume that, at some point, when the MediaWiki software is adjusted to stop fixing these errors for people, your signature will display in a way that you did not intend. It should take you but a moment to fix it by following the instructions above. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:41, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
Well since I haven't violated any guidelines or policy and the proposed new "signature requirements" state that: "... will not be banned at this time", I again kindly ask that you please stop harrasing me on this matter. Thank You. Your cooperation will be appreciated.--JOJHutton00:01, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Survey about How Historical Knowledge is Produced on Wikipedia
Hi Jojhutton,
I am Petros Apostolopoulos, a Ph.D. candidate in Public History at North Carolina State University. My Ph.D. project examines how historical knowledge is produced on Wikipedia. If you are interested in participating in my research study by offering your own experience of writing about history on Wikipedia, you can click on this link https://ncsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9z4wmR1cIp0qBH8.

You're invited to a zoom call, taking place on February 11, with the goal of improving the article on Los Angeles to Featured article status! I often find it daunting to approach the Big Subjects on my own—so if you, like me, want a time to sit down with fellow dedicated editors and tackle something important and complex, this is the zoom for you! I, unfortunately, have no way to transmit snacks over zoom; but I trust you to exercise good judgement and discretion in selecting snacks of your own. Hope to see you there—if you're interested, add your name here!
Hi Jojhutton, I just wanted to let you know that there's a minor formatting issue in your talk page signature that messes with people who have Syntax highlighter enabled in their Preferences. In [[User talk:Jojhutton|<font color="#CC9900"><sup>Hutton</sup>]]</font>, the ]] is placed such that the highlighter gets confused when looking for the close-wikibracket. This can be fixed by simply moving the close-wikibracket to the end like this: [[User talk:Jojhutton|<font color="#CC9900"><sup>Hutton</sup></font>]] without changing the visual appearance of your signature at all. Regards, Axem Titanium (talk) 02:51, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
While I may take the matter to the talk page of the article on American Civil War, I thought I would let you know my reading of the May 9, 1865 proclamation in advance in case you wish to comment off the article talk page. To accurately present my analysis, although I am sorry that it takes up some space, I copy the New York Times article about the proclamation from the citation in the Conclusion of the War section of the article. (I just remembered: it is behind a paywall so you might not be able to access most of the article unless I copied it in below.)
You will note in the first paragraph that two classes of persons by whom (1) the armed resistance (2) as well as the operations of the insurgent cruisers were directed are the subjects of the proclamation. The rest of the paragraph, however, deals only with the cruisers and the crews. It is the "persons on board" the cruisers who may no longer have immunity for their crimes after the proclamation date. No other class of persons is identified, or more importantly, subject to sanctions in this paragraph. In the second paragraph, the proclamation declares the actions of Jefferson Davis, John Letcher and William Smith in the State of Virginia null and void. In the next paragraph, all persons who
take actions pursuant to the authority or commission of the three men since the 17th day of April, 1861, shall be deemed and taken as in rebellion against the United States, and shall be dealt with accordingly. It does not say they will be treated as criminals or "no longer have immunity" for their crimes. By this time the "dealt with accordingly" meant the liberal terms of the earlier surrenders. That is how the later surrendering forces actually were treated.
So I do not see how the war could be ended by a proclamation which states "armed resistance...is virtually at an end" and specifies loss of immunity rather than "dealt with accordingly" only for continuing commerce raiders. Confederate armies were still in the field and later surrendered as late as June 23, 1865 under terms similar to those given at Appomattox, although they might have continued to fight. Some skirmishes, including the Battle of Palmito Ranch, took place later. I know of no record of any person involved in later incidents, or having not yet surrendered on May 9, being prosecuted as a criminal. Not that it matters, I suppose, but I have not seen the proclamation cited elsewhere as a definitive end date for the Civil War. It actually isn't even cited as such in the article given the wording of the Conclusions section.
If you think it is worth further discussion here or wish to expand on your point, let me know. (I'll check back.) I don't claim infallibility but I think there is good reason not to treat the May 9 proclamation as the end date of the Civil War. I would certainly be interested in any facts, statements or references that support that interpretation, however.
Otherwise, after some time for you to comment further if you wish to do so, I will likely take it to the talk page. I suppose I should have done in preference to just using the edit summary. In view of the additional facts and citations in the article and the debate over the conclusion of the war in general, I think this probably should be considered not worth a big argument and I plan to treat it that way.
WASHINGTON, Tuesday, May 9.
President JOHNSON has issued a proclamation, declaring that, whereas armed resistance to the authority of the government in certain States heretofore declared to be in insurrection, may be regarded as virtually at an end, and the persons by whom that resistance as well as the operations of the insurgent cruisers were directed, are fugitives of captives; and, whereas, it is understood that certain cruisers are are still infesting the high seas, and others are preparing to capture, burn and destroy vessels of the United States, he enjoins all naval, military and civil officers of the United States diligently to endeavor by all lawful means to arrest the said cruisers and to bring them into a port of the United States, in order that they may be prevented from committing further depredations on commerce, and that the persons on board of them may no longer enjoy immunity for their crimes; and he further proclaims and declares that if, after a reasonable time shall have elapsed for this proclamation to become known in the ports of nations claiming to have been neutral, the said insurgent cruisers and the persons on board of them shall continue to receive hospitality in the said ports, this government will deem itself justified in refusing hospitality to the public vessels of such nations in ports of the United States, and in adopting such other measures as may be deemed advisable toward vindicating the national sovereignty.
The President has also issued an executive order to reestablish the authority of the United States and execute the laws within the geographical limits known as the State of Virginia. It is ordered that all acts and proceedings of the political, military and civil organizations which have been in a state of insurrection and rebellion within the State of Virginia against the authority and laws of the United States, and of which JEFFERSON DAVIS, JOHN LETCHER and WILLIAM SMITH were late the respective chiefs, are declared null and void.
All persons who shall exercise, claim, pretend or attempt to exercise any political, military or civil power, authority, jurisdiction or right, by, through or under JEFFERSON DAVIS, late of the City of Richmond, and his confidants, or under JOHN LETCHER or WILLIAM SMITH, and their confidants, or under any pretended political, military or civil commission or authority issued by them or of them, since the 17th day of April, 1861, shall be deemed and taken as in rebellion against the United States, and shall be dealt with accordingly.
The Secretaries of State, War, Treasury, Navy and Interior, and the Postmaster-General, are ordered to proceed to put in force all laws of the United States pertaining to their several departments, and the District Judge of said district to proceed to hold courts within said States in accordance with the provisions of the acts of Congress. The Attorney-General will instruct the proper officers to libel and bring to judgment, confiscation and sale, property subject to confiscation and enforce the administration of justice within said State, in all matters civil and criminal within the cognizance of the Federal courts; to carry into effect the guarantee of the Federal Constitution of a republican form of State Government, and afford the advantage and security of domestic laws, as well as to complete the reestablishment of the authority of the laws of the United States, and the full and complete restoration of peace within the limits aforesaid. FRANCIS H. PIERPONT, Governor of the State of Virginia, will be aided by the Federal Government so far as may be necessary in the lawful measures which he may take for the extension and administration of the State Government throughout the geographical limits of said State.

Your signature and linter errors
Just a reminder that your signature contains obsolete font tags. They create Linter errors, and it is advised that you change your signature to [[User:Jojhutton|<span style="color:#A81933;">JOJ</span>]] [[User talk:Jojhutton|<sup style="color:#CC9900;">Hutton</sup>]] ASAP.
The purpose of this message is because Linter errors affect the way the page looks, and with a lot of errors, the page may render badly. To reduce Linter errors, please change your signature.
If the software doesn't accept my replacement signature, let me know, and if that's the case, unfortunately you may have to change it to something else. Sheep (talk) 18:11, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
I already changed my signature when someone was harrassing me months ago about it. Unless I've broken a Wikipedia policy or guideline, then I'd appreciate it you'd leave me alone about it. I'm done with you people.--JOJHutton18:17, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
So I guess you made your decision. I'll notify you on your talk page shortly of the ANI thread once I file the report, since you decided to once again modify my signature without my permission.--JOJHutton20:02, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
They are causing font tag Linter errors which is why you need to change your sig to my replacement sig so that I don't have to modify it again. Please read WP:SIGFONT so you know why this is the case. Sheep (talk) 20:24, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
@Jojhutton: You're effectively breaking a guideline — WP:SIGFONT. Your signature causes Linter errors because it contains deprecated/obsolete HTML code for which popular browsers may drop support at their discretion; this causes errors. Sheep showed you how to change your signature to be compliant. As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't look any different either. Sheep may be wrong for modifying your signature without your consent, but in my opinion this could have easily been solved by taking a minute (at the most) to honor SIGFONT instead of an ANI report.

Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 12 December 2022. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
... and in the context, - I laughed when I saw the exchange of five years ago. I am at good terms with Dr. Blofeld by now, I hope for Tim riley with whom I wrote articles when we were younger, including The Company of Heaven (of all titles). Ssilvers has forbidden me thank you clicks, and SchroCat - sad chapter. I gave him Precious before I even understood what an infobox was. Ssilvers' points have all been refuted multiple times. All ideas how we can get to editing infoboxes just like other content - editing boldly, and discuss when questioned - welcome. Adding an infobox doesn't mean invading territory, but that seems as what it is perceived by an elite group of editors. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:42, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Custom signature fix needed
Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. Changes to Wikipedia's software have made your current custom signature invalid.
The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error or obsolete HTML tags.
The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, you can fix your signature, or you can do nothing.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Remove anything in the Signature: text box.
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (Do not click the red "Restore all default settings" button, which will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
