Hail the copy edit wizard!

Holy cats, you're really tearing up that copy edit backlog. I'm cautiously optimistic that the Guild might set a new record low this month, or maybe - just maybe - get the backlog down to more or less zero. Thanks for putting in so much hard work! See you in the trenches! Wikignome Wintergreen^talk 01:26, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikignome Wintergreen: Thanks for the kind note! I'll keep at it. Shotgunscoop (talk) 19:00, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Milhist!

Hello Shotgunscoop 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}}.
The project Academy has lots of useful information about editing and writing military history articles. One very useful introductory course to get you started is Writing a good stub.
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 would like to receive the project's monthly newsletter, The Bugle, please sign up here.

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! Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:12, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Farmington River Trail (April 11)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Tom (LT) was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Farmington River Trail and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Farmington River Trail, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Tom (LT) (talk) 01:20, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Shotgunscoop! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Tom (LT) (talk) 01:20, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Barnstar for You

		Military Barnstar
		For reducing the American Civil War Medal of Honor recipients backlog by tirelessly making articles for those who are missing Gandalf the Groovy (talk) 18:29, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notabilty

What do you do if an article is tagged for not meeting notabilty? One of my articles which is identical to many others both created by me and not, but it's being considered for deletion if notabilty is not proven. What should I do? Article in question - James Webb (Medal of Honor). Gandalf the Groovy (talk) 23:10, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Gandalf the Groovy: From Wikipedia:Notability_(people), Medal of Honor awardees should always be considered notable because of the guideline "1. The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times". In terms of demonstrating notability to a reviewer, from the James Webb article I think you can:

1. Elaborate on Webb's military service in full sentences - put the valor.militarytimes.com citation in a blockquote and attribute it to the Secretary of War that was in office at the time of awarding.

2. Also try to find a locally published biography from a Civil War Memorial group and/or the book Deeds of Valor (Keydel) and use the information in there to create a timeline, like a story, for the important events that happened that resulted in the Medal. This won't always be available, unfortunately, when the Medal was for something like capturing a flag, so make do with whatever you can find. The website civilwardata.com doesn't usually come up on Google searches but I've found it to be extremely useful for background information, and even though findagrave.com isn't technically a good source, it is sometimes useful as a collection of the biographical information that you can find on the other sites (I use it for birth/death/burial and #s of children and spouse).

3. Create an infobox with a picture that you take from the list or upload to Wikimedia Commons using the infobox Military Person or infobox Soldier templates so that reviewers can easily see the biographical information.

4. Finally, I wouldn't go through Articles for Creation. You can publish articles directly to mainspace if you just use the writing space that's provided to you when you click on a redlink instead of publishing things through your draftspace. This way, you can skip the arbitrariness of the AfC reviewers (no serious shade intended :) ) and have your article looked over by the new page reviewers instead, who I find are more consistent and lenient in general.
