March Madness 2017G'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:
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.

Vimy Ridge photoDear Labattblueboy, I only added that image of Canadian soldiers because I noticed 1. that no one had ever uploaded it to WikiCommons in the first place and 2. that image was used by many Canadian news sites showing Victorious Canadian soldiers at Vimy. Its almost a famous symbolic picture. So I didn't understand why no one ever uploaded that image to Commons. But you can remove it from the Battle of Vimy Ridge article...if you feel it is appropriate. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 01:17, 22 August 2017 (UTC) The Bugle: Issue CXXXVII, September 2017

Elections for the Military history WikiProject Coordinators are currently underway. As a member of the WikiProject you are cordially invited to take part by casting your vote(s) for the candidates on the election page. This year's election will conclude at 23:59 UTC 29 September. Thank you for your time. For the current tranche of Coordinators, AustralianRupert (talk) 10:39, 21 September 2017 (UTC) Where URAA does not applyFor your info, I confirmed with a WikiCommons Administrator that URAA does Not impact the release of post 1945 images where the actual copyright owner (the Government of Canada here through Library Archives Canada/National Film Board/Department of Defense, etc) releases an image on a free license such as CC BY--such as this image of Barbara Scott taken in 1946. See his comments. When people have a copyright question, they almost always contact Admin/Bureaucrat/Checkuser Jameslwoodward on WikiCommons. Personally, I would always keep the link to the LAC official flickr account if I uploaded a post 1945 Canadian image by the LAC because the LAC Do license their free images as CC BY and no one can dispute it....and there is no URAA problems. Since one is not using an old Pd-Canada tag. That means that the few 1950's images of Canadian soldiers from Korea can be uploaded from flickr too. There are very few Korea images but its better than nothing Some could be uploaded by you if you wish since there is not a single image of a Canadian soldier at Korea...if you wish. The license is CC BY and the copyright owner is the Government of Canada. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 08:37, 25 September 2017 (UTC) The Bugle: Issue CXXXVIII, October 2017

April 2018 Milhist Backlog DriveG'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:
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. For the Milhist co-ordinators, AustralianRupert and MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 10:53, 27 March 2018 (UTC) Thanks...For creating this, when you could have simply redone the rationale here, since there was no improvement on quality. — Wyliepedia @ 17:26, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

I was reading up on War bonds and followed one of the citations. As I was reading it I noticed that the author quotes another source. You copied that exact text into the article without changing it or putting it between quotation marks.[1] The expectation is that you will contribute your own words, not simply copy text from other sources. Please review Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing, Wikipedia:Plagiarism, and Wikipedia:Copyright violations. That said, you did find interesting material which improved the article. If you have the time, could you revisit the War bond article, and any others with similar copying, to put the text into your own words? Thanks.

Not my area of expertise but I have a very good photo I took of one section of the Vimy Memorial. Because the images on the page are all "old" I wasn't sure if something recent was appropriate? Also, should there be a separate article for the new (2017) Hill 70 memorial or just an info section on the "Battle" page? Thanks. Stretchrunner (talk) 20:24, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

CWGC EditsHello Labattblueboy, In re. your edits to my work on the CWGC article: We are in territory that is not well known in the history of the American relationship with Commonwealth Forces, though I don't mean to presume that it's unknown to you. As background. officially, 35,000 American citizens served with Commonwealth Forces in WWI. H.C. Osborne, Report for the Minister (Americans in Canadian Forces), International War Graves Commission, October 14,1927, Library and Archives Canada - I don't believe it's available online. That number is probably higher than actual in re. "citizens", but the estimated number of American citizens and members of American immigrant families in CW forces WWI is 50,000, and 25,000 in WWII. Unofficial research in which I and others have been involved in Belgium, as an example, shows approx 500 American related burials and memorial names, +- 45% of those American born or naturalized and the rest roughly split between members of pre and post war immigrant families. Americans in CW forces were mostly recruited by stealth 1914-16, evolving into a mutually beneficial agreement about them between US/UK when the US entered the war, and eventual American law granting them equivalence to Americans in American forces, including eligibility for burial in American war cemeteries. WW II early enlistment in CW was more open and mostly involving air forces. There are approx. 2700 such WWI dead/memorialized in CWGC cemeteries on five continents, and 700 WW II. To your edits: As you know, CWGC policy was buried where they fell with their fellows; US policy was choice of remain or return by families. CWGC held to that policy in WW I, but came under increasing pressure in WW II, which some in England believed was driven by the funeral industry in US. In 1947, CWGC began to recognize the requests for return as legitimate, driven by US law on the burial of war dead and the fulfillment of request for repatriation was begun. "The present request is backed by a Public Law of a mandatory nature and by what appears to be a much stronger desire on the part of the United States Government to force the matter through." - Untitled memo, 4/18/1947, Commonwealth War Graves Commission Archive (found by me in an undisciplined archive at CWGC HQ in Maidenhead). On 12/1/1949, Geo. Springer of American Graves Reg. wrote to Oliver Holt of Imperial War Graves. "After many months of planning we have successfully completed our mission as it pertains to the removal from your cemeteries of certain American deceased killed while serving with the British Armed Forces." - CWGC Archives. The topic and the evolution of US/UK policies in relation to each other is very relevant, esp. in the larger and largely unknown history of the mix of US and UK forces in the two wars and remains so today as American interest organizations in Europe expand their understanding and memorial practice in re. Americans buried in those nations (next frontier of this research is non-citizen aliens buried in American war cemeteries, perhaps 20%-25% of those in Flanders Field). In the matter of headstones and nationality. An understanding of the problem as it is perceived by CWGC is demonstrated, I believe, in the WW II headstones I have seen in UK, BE, NL. There are five American flyers buried in Amsterdam New East CWGC; 3 are identified as Of USA or similar language and two are not. The Brookwood cemetery outside of London has a similar mix of US identified and unidentified Americans, ditto the Heverlee cemetery outside of Brussels. It's an indication to me of a policy in transition at CWGC from the absolute lack of that information on all WW I headstones. The Lijssenthoek cemetery Belgium, for example, contains at least 20 American citizens (and 25 members of US immigrant families), but seen en masse the impression is that they are Canadian citizens. And that was the belief until research began to show the differences, leading to the increasing Memorial Day attention to these Americans by those who previously focused solely on the three ABMC cemeteries in BE. See http://aomda.org/en/content/americans-buried-commonwealth-cemeteries BTW, there is not - or I have never seen - a CWGC national emblem for US personnel. Some in WW II, as above, are denoted as such in words, others not. There is currently underway in Belgium an effort (of which I am a part) to firmly document CWGC Americans as part of the process related to this https://www.va.gov/vaforms/va/pdf/va40-1330m.pdf. We have documented approx 150 American citizens in BE CWGC so far, As for the Falklands, unless I'm missing or misunderstanding something, CWGC change or evolution on policy is common knowledge in the lore of that episode. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Beach_Military_Cemetery_at_San_Carlos https://www.britishempire.co.uk/forces/wargraves.htm I hope to hear back from you on this. Important to get these things right, of course. Failing that I will start to recover the content on Friday. And to figure out what happened to the endnotes which are out of sync with the actual content at places that you've edited. Regards Happy to send documentation if you give me an email address. Vabookwriter (talk) 21:07, 10 November 2021 (UTC) @Vabookwriter:, I'll try and address these points as best I can.
