DYK for George Charles Beckley

On 29 January 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article George Charles Beckley, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that according to family tradition, George Charles Beckley designed the Flag of Hawaii, which was passed down as an heirloom in the form of a child's frock? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/George Charles Beckley. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, George Charles Beckley), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Welcome to MILHIST

Hello and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you are interested, or you can add it directly to your user page by copying the following: {{WPMILHIST Announcements}}.
Important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, writing contests, and article logistics.
We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
We've developed a set of guidelines that cover article structure and content, template use, categorization, and many other issues of interest.
If you're looking for something to work on, there are many articles that need attention, as well as a number of review alerts.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask any of the project coordinators or any other experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome, and we are looking forward to seeing you around! Anotherclown (talk) 03:21, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Thanks for the notice. Is there a template I can use to do that quickly?--SamHolt6 (talk) 19:08, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you use Twinkle, it will notify the creator automatically (unless you uncheck the box). Primefac (talk) 22:29, 6 July 2017 (UTC) (talk page stalker)[reply]

Speedy deletion contested: എ.എം.എല്‍.പി. സ്കൂള്‍ ചെറുപുത്തൂര്‍

Hello SamHolt6, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of എ.എം.എല്‍.പി. സ്കൂള്‍ ചെറുപുത്തൂര്‍, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not nonsense - there is meaningful content. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. - Mr X 16:31, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I may have been hasty with labeling the page as nonsense. My bad. But besides that point, the article in question only cites one source, [1], a blog that does no fall under Wikipedia's reliable source preview. We should consider tagging this article as non-notable in my opinion. SamHolt6 (talk) 16:36, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion contested: James F. McDonnell

Hello SamHolt6. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of James F. McDonnell, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Material produced by the U.S. Government is in the public domain. Thank you. - Mr X 16:11, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
