Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history/Coordinators/Archive 2

message: Hello everyone. It's me Zazzer. Well... My query is that I know that there is a coordinator for WP:MILHIST, but couldn't you have a leader for the seperate tasks that can report back to the Lead Coordinator and Assistant Coordinators about how the task itself is going? Oh well... Just a thought. -- Cheers! Zazzer 19:02, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There aren't many (any, really) tasks within the project that require "leaders", per se; so I doubt that adding another layer of hierarchy would be particularly useful. Kirill Lokshin 19:03, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Assessing the usefulness of subleaders based on my position's authority in our anarchy and the 'strong' resonances in some projects, any such seargeants would be likely to exist only pro forma. We might be able to improve many aspects of organization (for example supply with translations, sources, CSB, maps, images, etc.), but so far clusters of people with a similar scope seemed to be the most workable approach.

replies: text: Ok. Just a thought. Zazzer 03:02, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

text: If you're looking for something to translate, you can check at the task forces associated with the language you want to translate from; if there's nothing requested there, you can just drop by WP:FAOL or Wikipedia:Translation and pick something that interests you.  Thanks! Kirill Lokshin 03:30, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Query 

message: I thought about our last request for this Hammurabi map. Perhaps we should make clearer that the resources section helps to find images by renaming: 'Image and media resources' to 'Map, image and media resources'. OK? Wandalstouring 02:01, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds alright to me. --Petercorless 02:29, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep, seems like a good idea. Kirill Lokshin 02:35, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Changed it to "Image, map, and media resources" in both places; I think the alphabetical ordering is neater, but we can use the other one if anyone feels strongly about it. Kirill Lokshin 02:43, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Small change in the template 

message: I've just discovered that Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Military is apparently being updated now, so I've added a link to it to the navigation template.  It could be quite useful, I suspect; we tend not to hear about AFDs dealing with our material, for the most part. Kirill Lokshin 04:21, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes they do then to forget to notify us till its late in the game, such as the Byzantine Infobox deletion...--Dryzen 16:17, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Deletion sorting list 

message: I was thinking and seeing as we have annoucements for peer reviews and A-class revuews at task forces why don't we have on for FACs and FARs. Kyriakos 12:54, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd considered it in the past, but I suspect that it would be seen as an attempt at vote-stacking on our part, which would be quite bad for our reputation in the community. Kirill Lokshin 12:57, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Idea

message: I suggest to expand our section on citation styles if the reference discussion is getting to a close. We do have lots of ideas by now how one can possiblyput refs and not everybodyis knowledgable about the possible styles. Explaining also some pro and contra of citation,what is ugly, how it affects the text, how it affects verifiability, how tomake clear what belongs to a note, etc. Wandalstouring 19:37, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have no objection to putting together some purely stylistic recommendations on the available citation styles and how to structure the citations; but I don't think we need to—or should—try to justify the fundamental idea of citation and verifiability.  That's properly the province of central policy (WP:ATT), and not something that individual WikiProjects really need to concern themselves with. Kirill Lokshin 21:18, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I neither want to make any official policy,but the issue is raised here time by time, sowe can provide some guidance on what is possible and how project specific issues can be sourced (troop numbers, casualties, btw.) Wandalstouring 13:00, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  A-Class reviews 

message: Just a note: we seem to have a bunch of new A-Class reviews at the moment, so it'd be helpful if a few people could drop by and help out with any that don't get enough attention otherwise.  Thanks! Kirill Lokshin 03:15, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  A-Class reviews 

message: We have a couple of pages in the project that have basically fallen out of use:
* Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Automation - has been devoid of any activity for months now; we're outsourcing much of the (remaining) bot work anyways.
* Wikipedia:Meetup/Military history - never really went anywhere.
Any thoughts on (or, more specifically, objections to) mothballing them? Kirill Lokshin 22:27, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  New project award 

message: Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Operation Igloo White could use some (more) people commenting. ;-) Kirill Lokshin 00:47, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
