thread_title:  Females 

message: Sorry, but a reference to a fictonal event in one episode of a TV show is not significant information about Luxembourg's military.  It's not really even signifcant information about M*A*S*H.  Anyway, it's not really encylopedic, so I've removed the section. Good Skoda (talk) 17:40, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  In Fiction 

message: In the past I've corrected an occasional error and/or provided a link when necessary and/or relevant. But, as far as this article is concerned, I just don't know where to start, if not almost from scratch concerning certain subheads.
The article is full of errors, e.g. "2 Grades and insignia": while the rank of general exists, the term Flag Officer is not used; officially there are no warrant officers in the Luxembourg Army, what is referred to in this entry as warrant officer is merely an Aspirant-Officier, which could at best be labeled an officer candidate, who after the initial 13 weeks of basic training might be admitted as a cadet []. Whoever worked on this article seems to have no idea of the difference between a cadet and a warrant officer. 
Likewise the statement, under "3 Careers", that "[t]hose who have completed high school will enter a special 13-week-basic training in the army as warrant officer, thus visiting the military officer school after for 4 years (normally in Brussels, Belgium), before becoming a lieutenant in the Luxembourg army", is both misleading and erroneous. It isn't sufficient "to have completed high school [to] enter a special 13-week-basic training," HS must be completed with a Baccalauréat degree; "... as warrant officer", see supra; "thus visiting the military officer school after for 4 years (normally in Brussels, Belgium)" is also nonsense since any Aspirant-Officier will either attend the Ecole Royale Militaire de Bruxelles, Belgium, or the Ecoles Militaires de Coëtquidan (a.k.a. Écoles de Saint-Cyr Coëtquidan, or simply as Saint-Cyr), France; "before becoming a lieutenant " should read "before being commissioned as second lieutenant." ... 
...
I suggest that the people who've amused themselves writing this article at least take the time and check the web site of the Luxembourg army (Armée luxembourgeoise ), verify, for example, certain procedures (e.g. officer's career ), et cetera. That way they'll avoid an article that is substandard, which can only give Wkipedia disrepute as being unreliable, among others.

Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.

message: Hi all, 
Over the coming weeks I will be comprehensively editing this article. Upon reading it, I have noted concerns regarding sources and citations. Though I am unable to conduct extremely extensive research myself, I will be consulting outside sources in order to confirm or refute information within the text. If a proper source is not cited, I will insert a "citation needed" link, which is beneficial in indicating to other Wikipedians that additional research is necessary. One of the greatest textual concerns I have is the continuity of spelling practices throughout the article. For example, in some cases, the European spelling of "organise" appears, with the more Western "organize" appearing in the same paragraph. Additionally, I would like to establish continuity regarding the Oxford (serial) comma throughout lists in the article.

replies: text: I've just completed my copy-editing, favoring the serial comma (particularly helpful in this article, with a number of compound elements in series). I've tried not to introduce any Americanisms into this article, but some may have slipped through. I also supplied some references but didn't do a complete job. There are many pages (in French, of course) at the Luxembourg Army website that support the uncited text, and my "cite web" templates, with many parameters filled in, can be copied and reworked for consistency.

message: This article definitely needs a photo of the current camoflage uniform (see https://www.armee.lu/multimedias/galeries-photos/visite-efp-lituanie-2022), hopefully someone who reads this is able to obtain one without copyright issues and upload it to commons.--OBrian (talk) 12:12, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Uniform photo 

message: Should this page not be called "Luxembourg Army" ?  I'm wondering why it isn't. I can see the page was moved in 2021.
The actual website is called https://armee.public.lu/ and says "Letzebuerger Armei" at the top. That does not translate to Luxembourg Armed Forces, but to Luxembourg Army. The website only mentions the "army", not "armed forces".  As far as I can understand from the website, the few planes Luxembourg owns are described as a component of the army, not a separate air force.
