Excuse me, but he started with me. I don't take well to vandals and BSers. I think you should take a look at him/her before you come to me. 71.225.223.62 (talk) 16:13, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Welcome!
Hi, 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}}.
- 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 style guide that covers 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.
- The project has a stress hotline available for your use.
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! Kirill [talk] [pf] 05:17, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

re:Thanks!
Thanks for informing me about how to warn vandals about nonconstructive edits.I will do so in the future.Thanks again! 67.177.70.135 (talk) 22:40, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
About Villa Nellcôte/Nellcôte: I did not intend any "vandalism" by redirecting the article's name to the more common name.
About Villa Nellcôte/Nellcôte: I did not intend any "vandalism" by redirecting the article's name "Nellcôte" to the more common name of "Villa Nellcôte". Please do not regard it as vandalism as well as adding the Category:French Riviera at the bottom of the article.
Thank you. 81.215.20.96 (talk) 09:03, 23 June 2009
I did not and do not intend any vandalism. You are misunderstanding me. I am a novice user.
I did not and do not intend any vandalism. You are misunderstanding me. I am a novice user. Can you transfer the history page to the redirected article as well? I do not know how to transfer it.
Can you also redirect the article "Grand Hotel du Cap-Ferrat" to the correct name of "Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat" with its history links. The original and correct names of these establishments should be used as it has not an English name.
As a Wikipedia expert it is your duty to correct and guide novice users like me, before automatically branding me as a "vandal user".
Thank you. 81.215.20.96 (talk) 09:20, 23 June 2009
Can you move the articles I requested and clumsily moved without their history sections attached? Thank you.
Can you move the articles I requested and which I clumsily moved without their history sections attached? As I said before I am novice Wikipedia user who did not nor does not intend any vandalism. I do not know how to change, transfer or even to properly request changes; and it will take time to learn these things. As I still do not fully understand how to properly request a change, as you will see at the bottom of the WP:requested moves page, how miserably I requested the two changes.
Can you please redirect the following two articles (The problem is not that either article or their names are controversial):
Grand Hotel du Cap Ferrat to Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat The original and correct spelling of the name of the establishment should be used as it has not an English equivalent (not only because it is situated in a non-anglophone country). But spelling and capitalization fixes should be done, as it is in the original language of the name, and especially because it is a patented name. Not putting the article under its patented name is the main issue and is important to redirect it to the correct and official version of the name.
Nellcôte to Villa Nellcôte The name Villa Nellcôte is a more common name then just the name Nellcôte.
Thank you. 85.104.68.127 (talk) 11:15, 23 June 2009
Have a pie!
Queen Padmé Amidala (talk) has given you a fresh pie! Pies promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a piping hot pie, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Bon appetit!
Spread the tastiness of pies by adding {{subst:GivePie}} to their talk page with a friendly message.
Thanks
As you can tell, I'm new. I didn't realize you could revert edits like you just did to fix the Shining's Page. Ihateyourguts123 (talk) 22:15, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Reverting vandalism
Hey Gsmgm - you have incorrectly reverted back 2 of my recent reverts to a vandalised version: once each at Pocono Raceway and Darius Miles. I don't know what program you're using, but it is clearly not functioning properly. Regards, Gilliam (talk) 19:41, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Additions reverted as "not constructive"?
On the article for the Dungeons & Dragons animated show, some descriptions of the characters were reverted as "sexist" because they were only provided for the female characters. I restored the lost content and added descriptions of the male characters as well, but you removed this. Why? 12.40.5.69 (talk) 19:47, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
I responded to your post on my page, not sure if you saw it, I'm repeating it here:
I understand. The show had a distinct visual style and people who are remembering the show from their childhood may not remember the names of the characters and it's useful to have a visual description of them, especially as they wore the same thing in every episode and color-coded teams of heroes were (are?) common in childrens entertainment. 12.40.5.69 (talk) 19:56, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
How did you find my edit to be unconstructive?
Greetings!!! You reverted my edit in the Olga Tañón discography page for apparently being "unconstructive", and my question for you is, how was my edit unconstructive? To begin with I divided all of Olga's albums into there correct categories such as studio, live and greatest hits album, I also used the generic chart that is mostly used for every artist discography page, I also included a chart containing a list of Olga's singles, the position each song possibly charted in 3 different Billboard Chart and the name of the album the each song was from, I also included three different references, and I was actually in the process of looking for more references to add, but the previous edit had absolutely no references at all, so once again how could my edit possibly be unconstructive? Thank you. JordanLaDiva (talk) 16:22, 9 September 2009 (ET)

Voting in the Military history WikiProject coordinator election has now started. The aim is to elect the coordinators to serve for the next six months from a pool of sixteen candidates. Please vote here by 23:59 (UTC) on 26 September!

Reverts new changes while it's being added and still edited
Reverts changes all around, no discussion before taking action. Claims I removed/blanked stuff in S.M.A.R.T article. False claim as proven by edit history. I added HDDScan, then changed style to match the rest of the table. That doesn't constitute blanking an article or removing data. See comment below "I don't know what program you're using, but it is clearly not functioning properly".
Suggest to author to switch to less trigger happy program. Sorry about the previous remark since it's clearly your automated revertion script that's trigger happy not you.
Also claimed " never provided any edit summary describing your changes" As you can see my first edit had "+HDDScan" which meant "adding hdd scan". So the change was described. Further minor edit of changing a color of a column that I just added to match the rest needs no long descriptions as it's obvious to anyone bothering to press the compare button.
Reverting without looking at what's being reverted is vandalism.
(Edit history typo fix: "Stated that I did describe my first article changes" -> "Stated that I didn't describe my first article changes") As you can see I makes small errors at times, the edit button is there to fix this. This type of fix doesn't warrant description. Your automated revertion script should compare the last edit to the last edit by different user, not the last two edits by same user. Complain to the Huggle author if it shows only last two edits and start paying more attention to what's being reverted.)
I recommend admins to look closely at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Gsmgm With such high rate of reverts/minute it's possible that quite a few mishaps can happen leaving many frustrated CONTRIBUTORS (rather than just automated revert scripts). 88.112.189.85 (talk)

Altered speedy deletion rationale: Yashar Amirabedin
Hello Gsmgm. I am just letting you know that I deleted Yashar Amirabedin, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided, which doesn't fit the page in question. Thank you. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 11:25, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
