Following up on the [[Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#5_year_old_debate.2C_200_verses_of_Matthew|noticeboard discussion]], I think the best thing to do is start a new discussion on what the community thinks is best to do with pages like this. I've started a page at [[Wikipedia:Bible verses/2010]]. It's been five years since any of this was discussed at all. Most of the people from back then are gone, and the community and its standards have also changed. Hopefully a fresh discussion can result in a resolution everyone will be happy with, and it'd be great to have your participation. - [[User:SimonP|SimonP]] ([[User talk:SimonP|talk]]) 06:06, 26 June 2010 (UTC) |

Hi, NativeForeigner. I was reading the Admin noticeboard, where [[User:Scott Free]] made self-serving comments about admin [[User:J Greb]], including the remarkable charge of "abuse of admin privileges". If I read correctly, you have elevated Scott Free to reviewer. I would like to point out that he had been banned for a long period for attempting to make the same non-consensus and dishonestly faux-cited edits at [[John Buscema]] that he is attempt to make again now. |
|||
For the full picture of Scott Free's contentious and dishonest behavior, please see [[Talk:John Buscema]]'s current discussion and also click in the arbitration box at the top of that page for the discussion that got Scott Free (and myself) banned from that article for a time — a ban extended on Scott Free for exactly the same behavior he is exhibiting now. |
|||
His charges against admin J Greb are self-serving misdirection. Scott Free has exhibited much contentious and dishonest behavior, and I'm not sure he should be rewarded for that with Reviewer privileges. --[[User:Tenebrae|Tenebrae]] ([[User talk:Tenebrae|talk]]) 03:58, 27 June 2010 (UTC) |

The Military history WikiProject Newsletter : L (April 2010)
| |||
It's been a month since the end of the coordinator elections, and I am proud to inform the project that the IX coordinator tranche is doing well. Our new coordinators are rapidly learning the ropes, and the last of the task forces under consideration for merging have been consolidated into a new task force which should increase productivity and improve quality article output. At the moment the coordinators are discussing preliminary plans for an improved version of The Bugle, and are working with editors from the American Civil War task force who are in the process of organizing a new special project relating to that conflict. It is our hope to see these changes implemented in the upcoming month. Lastly, as many of our members are also in school, we extend our best wishes to all who will be taking final exams both this month and next. For the IX coordinator tranche, TomStar81 (Talk) 22:36, 30 April 2010 (UTC) |

This month we're taking a look at the Military history WikiProject's special projects. At present we have three—Operation Great War Centennial, Operation Majestic Titan, and Operation Normandy—with, as Tom mentions in his introduction, a fourth coming on line as this newsletter goes out.
Special projects are a great way of organising a long-term collaboration with a specific end-point in mind, and tend to be more goal-oriented and focused than the general task forces or informal working groups. Joining a special project is also a fantastic way to work alongside like-minded editors with whom you'll undoubtedly develop close working relationships; by your third or fourth FA submission you'll hopefully be operating as part of a well-oiled team. Editor roles are many and varied: content writers, source material providers, image- and map-makers, copy editors, reviewers, MoS gurus, wikignomes, specialists and generalists... you're sure to find a job that suits you and benefits the team. If you have an idea for a special project or are already undertaking a collaboration that you think fits in with the ethos of those above, and you'd like to benefit from Milhist's support and infrastructure, consider dropping the coordinators a note. Personally I've found the synergy and teamwork of contributing to a special project (Operation Normandy in my case) to be one of the most rewarding and enjoyable aspects of my time here. I hope you will too. EyeSerenetalk 14:16, 4 May 2010 (UTC) | |||

WT:OMT discussion
Hello, NativeForeigner! I am informing you that there is a discussion at WT:OMT#Moving forward on whether or not to implement a reward called the Titan's Cross. As you list yourself as a member of the project, I suggest you vote in it. Have fun! Buggie111 (talk) 20:06, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi NativeForeigner! Thanks for the input on the Starcraft 2 page. I am still relatively noobish as an editor so I appreciate the feedback. However it seemed to me that the original interview with the CEO was about as good as you could get for a reliable source. And when you're dealing with something like fan criticism, a page that has thousands of unique votes on the topic seems fairly reliable as well. But perhaps I'm off base ... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zuchinni one (talk • contribs) 05:48, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
Normally I would agree with you about the reliability of an internet poll. But the teamliquid site is very well run. You need to be a registered user to vote and they disable multiple accounts from the same IP address. So there is high likihood that almost all of the 5000 votes thus far are legitimate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zuchinni one (talk • contribs) 06:21, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

About your Admin Coaching request
|
Your submission at Admin Coaching has been removed from the request list, as requests where the submitter has not visited the page for at least 6 months (or been inactive for at least 4 months) are removed. You are welcome to re-submit a request should you wish to, but please note that you are expected to regularly check the page (and to update the "last visited" field of your request) to show your continued interest in the project. If you do re-submit, please carefully re-read the instructions for submission as they may have changed since you last visited! As noted on the project page, there is an on-going backlog with the project, as so few admins are currently coaching. This means that you may have a long wait for a response (if you receive one at all). If you no longer require admin coaching, I hope that you continue to enjoy editing Wikipedia! Regards, — Jeff G. ツ 18:57, 31 May 2010 (UTC) |

Thank you for showing your support for my writing efforts on White Horse Prophecy. I had hesitated to not label this page as a stub at first, but given that you and another editor both feel it's beyond stub status, I'll certainly defer to your judgment. I've been editing for five years now, but this is my first DYK submission. Once again, thanks. Richwales (talk) 14:42, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

The Military history WikiProject Newsletter : LI (May 2010)
| |||
With Eurocopter's resignation (see editorial below), this month marks the end of his tenure as a project coordinator. Eurocopter has been with the team for almost three years now and will be sorely missed, but he has taken the tough decision that his real life commitments have unfortunately made it too hard for him to focus on his coordinator duties. We wish him good luck in the future, both in real life and on-wiki. Efforts to redesign The Bugle are moving forward and it is our intention to roll out a new format, based on the Signpost, for next month's issue. We hope that this will allow us to provide better coverage of the project's news by allowing more room to expand on the stories we bring to you. If you have any comments or suggestions on what we can do to improve coverage, please let us know. —your IX Coordinator Tranche, May 2010 |

For those of you who might not know me, I'm Eurocopter. I served as a coordinator of the Military history WikiProject from August 2007 until few days ago, when I decided to resign due to real life issues making it impossible for me to continue to perform project duties on a regular basis. Reflecting on my experience and activities within the project, I decided to write this editorial to set out a few thoughts and offer some advice to interested members. First of all, what does project coordination mean and how does it help the Military history WikiProject? Although the coordinators do not have any real executive powers, they play an important role in project management. To make editing contributions easier for our members we establish guidelines, manage Peer and A-Class reviews, and consult and assist when needed. The primary goal of the coordination team has always been to stimulate the development of quality articles and, once they have been developed, to facilitate maintaining them at a high standard for as long as possible. This has been carried out through the organization of a considerable number of assessment drives, contests and special projects. However, there is still much to be done to make the project one of the best and most active wiki-communities. Coordinator involvement in trying to achieve this, as the central promoters of any activity undertaken within the project, is more than important; the coordination team should stand as an example of civilised and constructive cooperation. Perhaps the most annoying issue—unfortunately quite widespread through the pages of Wikipedia—is POV-dominated conflict. While such a phenomenon might seem inevitable in a community within which hundreds of members of different nationalities with different historical and political views interact, it doesn’t mean we should accept it. The ability to neutrally mediate such conflicts is an important and desirable coordinator function. Secondly, but most importantly in my opinion, is the question of how the project enables editors to contribute effectively. Perhaps you already know how difficult it is to take an article to the highest quality levels such as A-Class or featured status. It is even harder to do this working alone. I believe the best thing the Military history WikiProject has done is to bring together groups of editors with similar interests. As there are very few editors skilled in all the diverse article development areas, you might feel the need for help from editors more experienced in, for example, advanced copy editing, image editing etc. To this end the project provides task forces and special projects where members should always feel encouraged to ask questions, discuss, debate and give advice. Such cooperation is the best way to create properly balanced articles and to establish a neutral point of view. Our Style guide and Academy are also useful in guiding you along the path of writing an article. A final, but vital, part of the collaborative article writing process is editor behaviour when interacting with other editors who are contributing to the same article. Even on those occasions where an editor upsets you or allows their personal opinions to influence their editing, always remain calm, civil and try to reach an agreement. Contributing to Wikipedia is something most of us do as a hobby; time spent in useless conflicts is precious editing time wasted. All in all, the Military history WikiProject is a good meeting point for milhist-interested editors, both beginners and advanced, with someone always there to give help and advice when needed. I wish to thank all my fellow coordinators and project members who keep this beautiful community running. I will certainly miss it! Best regards and happy wiki-editing!

Timeline of the Republic of China's nuclear program edit conflict
I see we had an edit conflict on Timeline of the Republic of China's nuclear program. I think my edit covered all of the ones you were making, plus the ones you had planned, so I proceeded with mine.

BLP
unsourced BLPs for members of any important sports team, at least from English-speaking countries can always be sourced. The first place to try is G News archive. The second is the club site. I consequently removed your BLP prod on Joe Walsh (footballer) after adding one of the available refs. You could have done it. It's a lot of work checking the prods, and it needs some degree of cooperation by other people not prodding sourceable articles. That way, I & the very few other admins who have taken the responsibility for patrolling prod can concentrate on the ones that may be more difficult to source, and more accurately remove the unsourceable. DGG ( talk ) 19:29, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry about that, I'll try and be more diligent about sourcing members of sports teams. NativeForeigner Talk/Contribs 21:13, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
Hello, just fyi your prod has been contested by the author, so I took this one to afd. Regards, De728631 (talk) 20:28, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

- Indeed. This normally happens after school lets out for summer vacation. We get an uptick of vandalism, then in late August/early September it all dies down again. It's typical...thankfully it is almost over. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 05:49, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

- No problem. Check WT:AIV. (helperbot was being too helpful) I have no clue about how to execute a rangeblock, so I'm waiting for assistance. NativeForeigner Talk/Contribs 05:35, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
Bible verses
Following up on the noticeboard discussion, I think the best thing to do is start a new discussion on what the community thinks is best to do with pages like this. I've started a page at Wikipedia:Bible verses/2010. It's been five years since any of this was discussed at all. Most of the people from back then are gone, and the community and its standards have also changed. Hopefully a fresh discussion can result in a resolution everyone will be happy with, and it'd be great to have your participation. - SimonP (talk) 06:06, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, thanks. I undid a few and then thought, wait... 5 years is quite a while. Thanks for bringing this up. NativeForeigner Talk/Contribs 06:06, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
Reviewer
Hi, NativeForeigner. I was reading the Admin noticeboard, where User:Scott Free made self-serving comments about admin User:J Greb, including the remarkable charge of "abuse of admin privileges". If I read correctly, you have elevated Scott Free to reviewer. I would like to point out that he had been banned for a long period for attempting to make the same non-consensus and dishonestly faux-cited edits at John Buscema that he is attempt to make again now.
For the full picture of Scott Free's contentious and dishonest behavior, please see Talk:John Buscema's current discussion and also click in the arbitration box at the top of that page for the discussion that got Scott Free (and myself) banned from that article for a time — a ban extended on Scott Free for exactly the same behavior he is exhibiting now.
His charges against admin J Greb are self-serving misdirection. Scott Free has exhibited much contentious and dishonest behavior, and I'm not sure he should be rewarded for that with Reviewer privileges. --Tenebrae (talk) 03:58, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
