and some of the material on the main page needs moving to the ones about particular operations (like Menin). I'd like to do something detailed about attacking and defensive developments at 3rd Ypres and how they fit into the trends either side. It's much clearer now that there was a convergence of methods and equipment - echeloned defence met echeloned attack, 'quiet' periods between attacks got more and more 'noisy' so the utility of position (no longer really 'trench') warfare to the Germans diminished considerably, hence staying on the defensive in 1918 wasn't really practical alternative (see Rupprecht's comments on the Cambrai page about there being no quiet sectors anywhere where tank operations were feasible after Cambrai) so this bit feeds into the strategic-economic context of the war. My next move is to try to be systematic about the air war over Ypres. As usual sources about the German side written in English are rarer so I'm stuck with the RAF and Canadian OHs and a couple of monographs from Archives org for the German side. Tally ho!

4073:. They really helped to make it look a lot neater as I do have trouble working out how to type all the commands, etc. You are also welcome to add to those battles. I have been trying to find other battles and such to add to Australian categories but unfortunately, the ADF rarely releases anything good and so it does take a few years before they release new information on old conflicts. Also, you recently wrote on my talk page about me removing NZ categories from Vietnam. I did this as I didn't feel the NZ forces had a reasonable amount of presence in some of the battles I read. Anyway thanks again, 18 December 2011 4013:, p. 272. Second Lieutenant J. Ballance (RNZAC) commanded the rear group, although how much involvement he had in the battle itself is not clear from my sources. Artillery support was provided by the 5 RAR direct spt bty, being 105 Bty. There may have been others but I can find anything. NZ official history barely talks about it and only mentions Australian involvement (page 416). Ballance was Mentioned in Despatches for his tour, although its not clear to me if this was for Binh Ba or some other action. Not sure if this is sufficient to include it as an NZ battle. What do you think? 274:

which was good. I just spent four hours doing my tax, though...I'm very bad at it. Hopefully, they won't be too harsh on me. With luck I might get enough back to get myself a six pack at the end of September (when I get back from course). Thankfully the little one is now asleep - she was very tired from a big day. Anyway, good luck with the fishing; there's not much in the way of it down here, unfortunately. Hoping to check out somewhere during Christmas stand down, that is if I'm not doing "endless summer of duty officer" (which may happen given my current loc). Regards,

inline citation for each paragraph); (2) can page numbers be included for the Maylor book?; (3) try to work on the prose to adopt a more formal tone (less quotations, more summarisation of references, less jargon); and (4) consider if the section on Donaldson could be trimmed a little (remember he already has a article on wikipedia which includes at lot of bibliographic details you have included here). Perhaps aim for more of a summary of his actions in Khaz Oruzgan rather than his career? I hope this helps.

3598: 31: 4092:

guess in some cases it is a judgement call as to how much involvement constitutes sufficient participation to include the category. I agreee that Binh Ba is not sufficient but the others perhaps there is. The usual process in these cases is to be bold and make the edit (which you did), and if someone disagrees with you and reverts discuss the reasoning behind the edit that you want to make on the talk page and if/when there is consensus go ahead and make the edit (the policy is here:

1633: 3964:). According to the article he was also the Military Field Commander for the 1992 Los Angeles riots which might also confer some notability given the signficance of this event. I'm no expert on the notability rules for authors, however I think he might be notable for his military career at least. That he is/was an author would add to this notability as far as I can tell. Regardless, ultimately these questions are often determined by the amount of coverage in 4354: 1175: 1557:(1962): "He was a French hussar, Nicolas Savin, who was taken prisoner by the cossacks of Platoff at the Berezina and who is..." That he is written about in multiple published sources in French, English, and German in both the 1800s and 1900s and even got the notice of the Tsar seems sufficiently notable. I do not know if you watch list AfDs, hence why I am messaging you here with this update. Thank you for your time and consideration. -- 419:, it makes inadvertent vandalism. Instead of a coherently laid out, magazine-like webpage that would be familiar to general readers, there is now on my laptop view a forced a white space hole at the top of the article that shows about 6x6, 36 square inches at the header “background” and a 3x3 9-square inch hole to the right of the align=right perrow=2 gallery “fort Pulaski under siege”. Is a modification from the bot-fix permissible? 1355: 4408: 2474: 2288: 3284: 2782: 1955: 1445: 525: 3742:"The 31/51st Battalion was relieved by 8th Battalion of the 23rd Brigade on the 28th of June and returned to Torokina. The campaign on the Ratsua-Ruri Bay Line as a short, but bloody one. The 31/51st Battalion suffered a total of 100 casualties, including 14 killed, 7 missing, 79 wounded. Known enemy casualties amounted to 179 killed, 52 probably killed, and 6 known wounded." 307:. I would love to go to England one day though! While I appreciate the !vote of confidence I will have to politely decline. I know the co-ords do a very important job on MILHIST and I would dearly like to help out more than I do, but I'm not sure my marriage would cope with it. Selfishly I'm hoping that someone else is going to step forward, however unlikely that is. 247:. The beer is good but the writing isn't unfortunately... Thinking about heading up to Somerset this weekend to try and catch a couple of Bass or Silver Perch (lets face it blokes like us would settle for a few Tilarpia though). But its not much fun on your own so I'll probably just go to the gym instead. Anyway how are you getting on down there? 4275:

until the New Year as everyone is on stand down now. Its a little humourous as it seems only wiki cares about this, indeed my contact for the Roberts-Smith image initially couldn't understand the problem as the images have been released for media to use without the requirement for express written permission. I'll let you know how I go. Cheers.

4201:

last page was not free so technically its incomplete. I know what you mean about the formality of the writing style but like i said its mainly from Maylors book and its basically an account of events from his perspective. I probs should cut down from the Donaldson section as its too large and I'll link the main article or something. Thanks.--

battalion histories?), but I think being a co-ord has probably detracted from your enjoyment and has resulted in quite a deal of unnecessary frustration. There is no shame in taking a break for a bit and just chipping in the odd article here and there when work allows. Please say hello to the little one for me. Take care.

all the text down below it, leaving a large amount of white space between the section heading and the start of the paragraph. By moving the External images box further down in the section it didn't bunch up with the map and therefore there is no gap between the section heading and the text. Hope this makes sense.

4200:

Hey man, been away for a bit. I don't have many refs for the article, the onlyreason its that big is because a lot of it came from Rob Maylors book. The page numbers I'm not sure about as I just used a free sample from 'google-ebooks?' i think. However, I got most of the important info out except the

Not sure how that is misleading at all and to say that there "nothing in WP:MILMOS/C which sanctions it" is clearly wrong. I agree that it isn't a rule, but you will find the majority of our articles follow this layout for a reason. These headings allow us to follow a standard format which covers the

Gday. Finally got to the SLQ. Not much in the book I'm afraid and most of the chapter in question deals with Porton Plantation (it then seems to jump to the Bn being relieved). Unfortunately I only had a dollar for parking so I got 40 mins to look at it before running back to the car just in time to

Hello. Yes this may be a browser specific issue. I'm using a very old version of IE so the way a page displays on my screen might be different to Firefox. Essentially the issue with the placement of External images box was (on my screen) was that it was bunched up directly under the map which pushed

1858:

IMO there is much to commend the articles that you have written so far, including Mughar Ridge, and I am certainly glad that you take a keen interest in Australian history, as indeed do I. That said I think there is also considerable room to improve these articles, and in particular their compliance

434:

Just to jump in, the problem may be that the kind of formatting you're attempting here is unusual for Knowledge articles, and as a result it's clashing with elements of the default templates (particularly the infobox) and the bot is unable to fix this. I quite like what you're attempting to do here,

252:

Thanks for the offer but I will be giving co-ord a miss. Of course MILHIST needs people willing to do this thankless job and I am grateful to those that do it, but I am going to go jack again, at least for another term. It is always going to be busy at work, plus I like being able to choose my level

4184:

Gday again. I've had a look and made a few little changes here and there. Mainly adding wikilinks (to explain military jargon to readers) and merged a couple of stubby sentences to form rudimentary paragraphs. A couple of suggestions: (1) if you have them more references should be added (aim for an

During the Porton battle D Coy 31/51st Bn made an effort to force a passage from the Ratsua perimetre with a platoon of the Papuan Infantry Battalion. LT Bill Gregory took a patrol to within 500 yards of the Porton perimeter. A list of casualties is included which lists 16 names although it doesn't

2928:

An impressive list. Have you thought of adding current Special Forces? Also you could include current and former artillery units and Light Horse regiments, which would of course keep you busy for ever. What can I say? I'm lost for words... I feel physically sick and more sad than ever. I'm going to

2712:

Thanks. I'm a beginner at doing more than writing the odd paragraph and moaning about people starting sentences with 'and' so I think it would be premature, as there's still much to do; finding out what GA is and how to do a dash instead of a hyphen for starters ;O). I think Menin Road needs a page

Hello TheVirginiaHistorian. Sometimes these format issues are browser specific, but I also have the same problem when I view this page on my computer. I really wish I could help but unfortunately I do not know very much about wiki markup. If this has occurred due to one of the edits I did yesterday

2138:

Thats a plus at least. I buggered my wrist many years back playing indoor soccer if you remember. Never got it checked so no idea if I broke something in it but it hurt for months and I couldn't even use it to stack those bloody boxes at the boxology factory. Had to use my forearm, which was a bit

4274:

Hello Nick. That takes me back to one of the more painful experiences I've had here (and there has been a couple)... You're probably right though, doubtless someone will take issue with it in the future. I'll approach Defence about the Donaldson image as you suggest, although it will have to wait

stating: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list." Is there much coverage out there to meet this criteria? If so he is notable. I hope this

4258:

Hi, When you have some spare time, would you be able to use the process which led Defence to release the photo of Ben Roberts-Smith to also request that the equivalent photo of Mark Donaldson also be released into the public domain? Sooner or later someone is going to come along and nominate the

4091:

Gday. Re the Afghan articles: its good to see the topic starting to get some coverage, although you are right there is often little infomation available in the public domain which makes it difficult. Hopefully over time we can add some citations. Re the NZ battles in Vietnam, no dramas at all. I

No worries, I can understand that. I had an EKO also, but it didn't eventuate. The boss went early and gave me permission to do so, but then I felt guilty and decided to keep working on a couple of minutes and admin insts that needed to be finished. Spent an hour in the gym this morning, though,

258:

While you have done an excellent job as co-ord and have done a lot to advance the project I think you are right when you say that it is probably time for you to move on. I know you enjoy contributing to wiki and I certainly hope you continue to do so (after all who else is going to write those

No worries and thank you. Knowledge can sometimes be an unwelcoming experience for a new editor given the complexity of our rules. Hopefully we haven't scarred you off yet though! If you have any questions about further contributions you might be interested in making please drop me a line.

4289:

Thanks for that. In the 'good old days' when I started with Knowledge no-one cared if you uploaded photos from the media section of websites, and there was even a special default copyright tag for this to help you do it... Lots of federal government agencies are moving towards adopting

Yes, sleep didn't come easy: woke early and hit the gym, it made me feel a bit better although it's hard not to feel useless in the circumstances. Re: the list, sure, I will add those units too, although I suspect that some of them might be impossible to get to B class. Regards,

1794:

Anotherclown, I've undone your edit because there is nothing in WP:MILMOS/C which sanctions it. Your insistence on the standard heading, which is most often qualified in many articles, does not make sense in this case, it does not improve this Good Article and is misleading.

Does the bot automatically troll, or can I get away with a local exeption that might stick? An alternate might be to push six inches of text above the pics and align right pic and gallery, but I like them on top the best. Maybe swap out photo with Leslie print?

Hello Ian. Thanks for the note, I've added my review now. When I pencilled myself in for the review I forgot I had a duty which would keep me away from home for a bit. Ended up getting stuck at work for a couple of days which delayed things a little. Cheers.

715:

Hello again. I'm back tomorrow night (but have access to the net tonight whilst I'm in transit). I have updated the review and done another copy-edit. Just one more issue as far as I can tell before this can be promoted. Once again apologies for the delay.

Howdy, as near as I can tell Kiwi involvement in this one was fairly minimal and may have included the odd individual here and there. From my sources one of the 2nd LTs from 3 Cav was a Kiwi at least - according to Hopkins (1978)

Very litte in Dennis I'm afraid. The official history (Walker) has about 4 pages, some of which you already covered. I think I've added what you were missing though. Unfortunately its still a little sparse. Hope it helps though.

I seem to have avoided duties in Nov and Dec due to being on exercise, then promotion and the fact that I'm posting out (not even a garrision duty, which is normally a captain's job here). Got lucky like that last year too.

3237:. While the article is an impressive piece of work, it seems to spend way too much time talking about high level political developments and the like given that its meant to be a history of a single unit involved in the war. 1707:

Do you mind me breaking up your points? If you would, could you possibly number them so I can refer to them individually? (Sorry for the late reply, it would seem ACRs aren't watchlisted (or it was somehow unwatchlisted).)

There is certainly no shortage of opportunities to contribute so I wish you the best of luck! Re the dashes - you can install a script which will make this an automated process. Have a look at this if you are interested:

Another editor has taken issue with the article, as you may know if you've still got it watchlisted. Since such serious allegations would undermine the credibility of the review, you may wish to comment on the talk page.

No problem. There's no rush – I'm unsure whether I'll be able to find the time to complete the items mentioned in the next two days, but certainly having the article on hold for two weeks or so is not at all problematic.

Gday Ian. Too easy, I've been meaning to write something on him for a bit. Interestingly through most of his life he seems to have been called "O.D." or "David" so there are actually few sources which use his full name!

Cheers, it feels ok at the moment, but as soon as I lift anything the pain is pretty bad. Will probably need a scan when I get back from Melbourne. With luck it's just a strain (swelling is going down) and not a break.

G'day Jim. I think I understand your question correctly. Yes Tasmanians (i.e. anyone from the state of Tasmania, not just Aboriginal Australians) were part of Australia during the First World War (and still are).

Many thanks for helping to correct my recent entry in 'Landing at Nadzab". I am new to this. I cannot find a place to 'reply' to you other than this, which should get to you anyway. Cheers from a fellow Oz. J.H.

3528:. That term redirects to Aboriginal Tasmanians, but I presume they mean residents of the island of Tasmania. Now this is the stupid question were they classed as Australians in the period of the First World War? 1309:

That was probably the most clear cut GA review pass of any I've reviewed - great work. I don't see any barriers to this passing a A class review, and you may also want to consider shooting for FA status. Cheers,
