Montenegrin National Army

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

I appreciate your obvious effort to keep your comments civil (as you promised here). I also noticed that you continued to follow my edits to repeatedly confront or inhibit my work, this time by renaming/deletion campaign of articles I recently created.

After your attempt to delete Skanderbeg (military unit) failed, you insisted on renaming (or "sensible disambiguation" as you put it) of another article I recently created (Montenegrin National Army). You explained your position: "there clearly is another unit with the exact same name." (diff) To support your position you also presented Thomas and Mikulan p. 23. When I insisted on quote you presented it (diff) and revealed that the name of the unit they described was National Army of Montenegro and Herzegovina which is clearly not "the exact same name" as Montenegrin National Army.

Please be so kind not to propose deletion/renaming of articles I recently created (especially if those articles are tagged with "under construction" tag) based on false arguments and source misinterpretation.

All the best.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 10:27, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

I do not follow your edits. I am a MH coordinator and reviewer, and I regularly check newly created articles that should be included in the MH WikiProject. You, for some unknown reason, fail to add the MH banner to any articles you create, even if they are clearly military unit articles and you add a whole range of other banners when you create the talk pages. I am merely doing MH housekeeping. When I am performing those tasks, and see an egregiously inappropriate title, I point it out and RM it if you fail to respond appropriately to reasonable questions. I regularly comment on MH RMs right across the scope of the MH WikiProject, as can be easily seen from my edit history. I will not discuss the Montenegrin National Army issue here, as this is not the place. I will continue to RM articles that you (and others) create if they have imprecise names. I'm afraid you are just going to have to get used to justifying your titles in front of the community if you can't be bothered coming up with an appropriate and precise one that meets WP policy and guidelines. Regards, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 10:37, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
  1. You first proposed Sandžak Muslim militia (World War II) (diff)
  2. Then you proposed Sandžak Moslem militia (World War II) (diff)
  3. Then you proposed Muslim Ustaša militia (diff)
  4. And finally (?) you proposed ""Moslem Legion" (with some sort of disambiguation)" (diff)
It is obvious that you accused me for something you did. It is you who failed to justify the imprecise article titles you proposed, like in case of the mess you created at Moslem Militia. Please be so kind not to continue with this kind of behavior.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 15:33, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

My last comment was not article-related discussion. It was reply to your "imprecise names" unjustified accusation.

Quick question re Italian source

Hey,

Considering your comments on MILHIST about utilizing Italian sources, I don't suppose you have came across Come Pedere la Pace e Vincere la Guerra during your travels? From what I can make out, it is an economic history dealing with Italian economy and industry during the war and the postwar period. Our mutual friend alleges, but will not provide additional information, that one of the historians labels the Italian invasion of France a tactical, strategic, and political success. Apparently on page 53.

I know it probably a long shot, since it appears to be outside of your field of interest, but I thought I would ask anyway. Not to worry if you cant help.

Wiki break

Hi, I decided to take a Wiki break for a few weeks. I hope to return late June. I would appreciate if you could look after the open reviews. If you have time, I started working on the Joachim Müncheberg article. Its not done yet but I believe it covers the key areas up to the Malta section. He had a brief stay in Yugoslavia, I thought you might be interested in that. I will continue to close the gaps when I return. Cheers and thanks. MisterBee1966 (talk) 07:39, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

I wrote that article on Serbian Wikipedia and i know name of the rank for that and any other officer of Royal Yugoslav Army. So don't revert. Snake bgd 09:50, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

That would be the article without inline citations? He was an Armiski General, and the English or US equivalent is Lieutenant General. The VKJ did not have Corps, and that's effectively what he was in a Western sense, despite being an "Army commander", so the equivalent is LTGEN. That is also what the source says. I know a bit about international ranks myself. And use edit summaries. Not doing so is considered rude by many editors. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 09:54, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

These flags are ranks of the generals they are only 4 ranks in Royal Yugoslavian Army. Brigadier General, Divisional General, Army General and Field Marshal (Vojvoda in Serbian). Its French system of ranking. Snake bgd 18:47, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Listen chief, I created the article, based on reliable sources, you were the one that changed it, but you haven't sourced the disputed information. Actually, you obviously don't know the rules, because if you did we would be having that discussion on the article talk page, not here. You have not engaged in discussion on the talk page of the article in question, instead you come to my talk page and offer personal opinions that you haven't backed up with sources. I'm closing this thread, respond to my points on the article talk page. Disruptive behaviour merits warnings, otherwise when you get clobbered by an admin, you have cause to complain you weren't warned.

Slightly offset map

Hi! I had a quick look at the June 1941 uprising in eastern Herzegovina and the NDH 41 east map seemed a bit off in terms of placement of the toponyms on the map. I checked its alignment (adding coordinates for the Prevlaka Peninsula - it's easily identified on the map as the eastern cape on the entrance to the bay of Kotor) and found the map was slightly off to the north and west, i.e. the pins appear further to the southeast than they really should. Prevlaka's actual coordinates are 42.399167 N, 18.517778 E (see here) but a pin is displayed in a correct position only after they are set at 42.439167 N, 18.457778 E. If I got this correctly, the map is off by 0.04 degrees latitude and 0.06 degrees longitude - I'm aware this may sound as nitpicking, but the error is sufficient to cause a coastal location appear off-shore on the map. AFAIK the border coordinates of the {{Location map NDH 41 (east)}} should be tweaked accordingly and everything should fall into place.

There are actually two possible explanations to this: 1) the map is off by 0.04 deg latitude/0.06 del longitude or but its height and width matches info indicated in the template, or 2) the map is narrower in terms of latitude/longitude actually shown than indicated in the template.

I did not apply any changes to the map template since I noticed you have created it and I thought you might know more about the map. Cheers.--Tomobe03 (talk) 10:31, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

@Tomobe03:, I reckon you're right, must have been my sausage fingers when I set it up. Given you know what the differences are, do you mind adjusting it? Regards, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 00:15, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
All done. The map was just offset (its size was ok). Checked using two prominent geographic features on the map - the Prevlaka Peninsula and the northern tip of the Lake Skadar.--Tomobe03 (talk) 09:56, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

re: Use of primary source in DM article

Thanks for reviewing. I've read the article on the use of primary sources, and found this: "Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources and, to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources and primary sources... Policy: Unless restricted by another policy, primary sources that have been reliably published may be used in Wikipedia; but only with care, because it is easy to misuse them." It seems to me that my quoting was inside limits of acceptability. But, of course, I might be wrong on this. If you think otherwise, I'll gladly accept it, for you being more experienced on this.--Gorran (talk) 15:41, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Just a word of caution at this stage. Answers in an interrogation or trial can be questionable, unless accepted by the judicial authorities and mentioned in the summing up (for example). Just take care with using them, they are definitely not preferable to secondary sources, and there are plenty of good secondary sources like Tomasevich et al, that effectively say what von Weichs (or whoever that is) says about DM. Regards, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 15:45, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
@Gorran: Depends upon the source, where, what, and why you have used it. Primary sources are not forbidden, but if you have alternative non-primary source, you can use it instead. Sometimes it happens that one can remove the whole content that is based upon the primary source, but sometimes it is very hard, requires consensus. OccultZone (Talk) 16:15, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Thanks, Peacemaker67 and @OccultZone:. I think I understand the policy on primary and secundary sources usage. But, hm... Oops!... I Did It Again :) . My logic is here: on this specific issue (i.e, whether DM in September 1944 ordered his troops to fight Germans or to work with them), secundary sources are vague or/and conflicting - and primary sources are clear, explicit, and - I think - safe to use. But, of course I may be wrong - both on safety of use, and on adding to the sense.--Gorran (talk) 17:58, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
It is not about whether secondary sources are conflicting. These things are very rarely cut and dried. If they are conflicting, we contrast them, we don't go to primary sources (which can be unsafe). Regards, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 10:58, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

Main Page appearance: 23rd Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Kama (2nd Croatian)

This is a note to let the main editors of 23rd Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Kama (2nd Croatian) know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on June 19, 2014. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at present, please ask Bencherlite (talk · contribs). You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/June 19, 2014. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Divisional insignia

The 23rd Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Kama (2nd Croatian) was a German mountain infantry division of the Waffen-SS, the armed wing of the German Nazi Party that served alongside but was never formally part of the Wehrmacht during World War II. It was composed of German officers and Bosnian Muslim soldiers. Named Kama after a small dagger used by Balkan shepherds, it was one of the thirty-eight divisions fielded by the Waffen-SS during World War II. Formed on 19 June 1944, it was built around a cadre from the 13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar (1st Croatian) but did not reach its full strength and never saw action as a formation. Elements of the division fought briefly against Soviet forces in southern Hungary in early October 1944 alongside the 31st SS Volunteer Grenadier Division. They were soon disengaged from the front line in Hungary and had begun a move to the German puppet state, the Independent State of Croatia, to join the 13th SS Division when the Bosnian Muslim soldiers of the Kama division mutinied on 17 October 1944. The cadre quickly regained control, but the mutiny resulted in the division being formally dissolved on 31 October 1944. (Full article...)

You (and your talk-page stalkers) may also be interested to hear that there have been some changes at the TFA requests page recently. Nominators no longer need to calculate how many "points" an article has, the instructions have been simplified, and there's a new nomination system using templates based on those used for DYK suggestions. Please consider nominating another article, or commenting on an existing nomination, and leaving some feedback on your experience. Thank you. UcuchaBot (talk) 23:02, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

You can just add Category:Wikipedian military people to the bottom of your page. When you add it, just delete the first colon to make it an active category. We use the initial colon if we want to explain what category we are talking about without actually categorising the page you are editing (if that makes sense). I think Template:User military might also create the category, but I'm not sure. It's easier to just add the cat yourself. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 02:23, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

I noticed you reverted me twice today, until now. With the second revert you removed comment of another editor I added below closed discussion (diff). You justified your removal of the comment of another editor with "inappropriately added to a closed RM". Will you please be so kind to explain me what is appropriate place where I could add the comment of this editor?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 11:45, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

The editor added a comment to a closed RM, against the notice that is part of the closure. If they had a problem with the move but missed the move discussion and wanted to make a point about it, creating a new section would be the appropriate way to do it. You should know that you don't add comments to closed RMs, it might make it appear that the RM was closed inappropriately, or that the views of all interested editor were not taken into account in the closure. We wouldn't want that, would we? Peacemaker67 (send... over) 11:50, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
I thought that I added this comment below closed RM discussion. I will add their comment within new section. Thank you for your reply.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 11:56, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
You are welcome. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 11:57, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
I added their comment within a new section. (diff). I think that if some editor used the wrong section to express their concerns about the new title of the article, it is better to move it to more appropriate place instead to remove it completely. All the best.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 12:08, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
In the context of their other behaviour, I saw no issue with it, but I am happy for it to remain where it is now. Thanks again, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 12:13, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

G'day

Hello there, Peacemaker67. If you are not to busy I would really appreciate if you would review the Edda Göring article. It was an unreadable article, but I completely transformed it. Cheers. Jonas Vinther (talk) 01:15, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

I generally only review MILHIST articles, but I have done an informal review, a minor c/e, and have made some suggestions for improvements. Good luck with it. Regards, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 05:07, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
Okay, thanks for it. Jonas Vinther (talk) 11:26, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Occupied?

Hi, I think there is some kind of misunderstanding going on, and it is not entirely unlikely that it is on my part. Or perhaps you thought my edit lent support to not changing the title, whereas I think it is doesn't matter, and that adding "occupied" would be an improvement? See my support !vote walk victor falk talk 00:49, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi Victor, you may be right. My concern is that there was no discussion or consensus for a change of scope during the RM, yet some editors think the new title means they can now change the scope. Their motive for this is not clear to me. My view is there is more than enough content (the article is already over 7000 words) for an article just about the period of occupation. I saw your !vote, and thanks for clearing up your position. Regards, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 00:59, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
You might find this interesting Talk:German_military_administration_in_occupied_France_during_World_War_II#Survey, as a discussion of a WWII article involving the word "occupied" in the title, and scope disagreements. walk victor falk talk 02:18, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
Sorry, I see now that you were the one that made the remark about unclear arrangements during WWII. Quite right, and the Nazi predilection for byzantine bureaucracy is compounded by the fact that on wikipedia the "Vichy France" article, the proper scope of which is the free zone in 1940-42, covers many things that belong more in what people commonly call "German-occupied France". But that doesn't necessarily mean that things in the occupied zones or after 1942 should be verboten from mentioning there, as it remained officially in existence as France's government. These are the kind of nuances and overlapping that makes straightforwardly titling articles "Occupation of Yugoslavia" or "Occupation of France" problematic, if ones wants to give an accurate and non-bowdlerized account of events. walk victor falk talk 08:31, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
I agree, and I find the dismissive approach of some, who want "out-of-the-box" consistent titling quite irritating. I know a fair bit about the occupation regime in Yugoslavia in WWII, and have written one FA on the Hungarian occupation (which was straightforward in comparison to others). Editors who don't contribute to writing the articles but vehemently criticise those that do piss me right off. Rant over. Regards, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 08:40, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Re: Moving

I just saw the two leftovers, and cleaned up. Why would the GA nominations be screwed? The redirects will remain in place for the forseeable future since it's doubtful anyone will write articles about the Partisan armies right this instant. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 12:51, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Re: Diviziski General

Oh, yes, I believe so. The apposition is constructed from the noun divizija, both in Croatian and in Serbian - this j does not come from a yat. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 07:30, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

There's a slim chance that this word was different in the specific context of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, but that I'm not aware of that peculiarity. Either way, the form is not going to jibe with today's readers, so even in such a case, an explanatory footnote would be preferred to just keeping it that way. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 12:30, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Invitation to Adelaide Wikipedia Users Group meetings

Hi, in case you're not already aware of it, a group of Adelaide Wikipedians has been meeting on a monthly basis since April, with the aim of improving the scope and quality of articles on South Australian topics. We meet at UniSA's City West campus, and our 23 July meeting will have a guest speaker from the National Trust of SA.

This coming Sunday, 6 July, we will be holding our first Edit-a-thon. This will be an opportunity for new editors to come and learn either basic or more advanced editing from very experienced wikipedians, so if you know anyone who would like to get some practice, please let them know - and beginners will be very welcome.
