Writing about people

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia, I saw your post on the village pump. The key to understanding Wikipedia is 1. Read every policy and guideline you can find, and always follow bluelinks when someone quotes a rule. It is overwhelming to start with, but after a few days you'll feel comfortable, and after a few months you'll feel like an old timer. 2. Copy what others do - how they interact, what code they use in articles and talk pages, what guidelines they cite, etc. I'd suggest reading these guidelines and essays first as you're thinking about starting articles about people you know:

And I would ignore the advice that wiooiw gave. He seems to have misunderstood either your question or the relevant policy. OrangeDog (τε) 22:11, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
He may be refering to the WP:DEFACTO. Apparently it is an essay, not a policy. Sorry for that. wiooiw (talk) 22:41, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it basically works that you must follow policy, you probably should follow guidelines, and you might want to follow what essays say. And we also have a policy called ignore all rules, which means that if some rules is getting in the way of improving the encyclopedia it can be OK to bend or break it (with discretion).

Two judges per week.

[edit]

Greetings! At Wikipedia:WikiProject United States courts and judges, we have bot-created thousands of articles on United States federal judges. Of those 1,272 currently still have their bot-made cleanup tag. If just a dozen editors will each commit to cleaning up just two of those articles every week, we will conquer the entire list within the year. Most of the articles are quick and easy to clean up, requiring only a few minor adjustments of bot-created awkward wording. Please consider joining this effort, and committing to cleaning up two judges per week for the year. Cheers! bd2412 T 03:18, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

March Madness 2017

[edit]

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)[reply]

2017 Military Historian of the Year and Newcomer of the Year nominations and voting

[edit]

As we approach the end of the year, the Military History project is looking to recognise editors who have made a real difference. Each year we do this by bestowing two awards: the Military Historian of the Year and the Military History Newcomer of the Year. The co-ordinators invite all project members to get involved by nominating any editor they feel merits recognition for their contributions to the project. Nominations for both awards are open between 00:01 on 2 December 2017 and 23:59 on 15 December 2017. After this, a 14-day voting period will follow commencing at 00:01 on 16 December 2017. Nominations and voting will take place on the main project talkpage: here and here. Thank you for your time.
