April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive
G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:
- tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
- adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
- updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
- creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Survey Invite
I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take no more than 1-2 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.
Your survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9S3JByWf57fXEkR?Q_DL=56np5HpEZWkMlr7_9S3JByWf57fXEkR_MLRP_5oj2h7qsGjWuMBv&Q_CHL=gl
I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.
Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 16:56, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Mickey Mouse Costume.JPG
Thank you for uploading File:Mickey Mouse Costume.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.
ATTENTION: This is an automated, bot-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:05, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
“Enslaver” -Stop reverting revisions w/o any sourcing
This is not a POV problem, this is recorded fact. Robert E. Lee and family racially enslaved people, without such actions they would not have an encyclopedia article about them. They even committed treason and took up arms against their own country to fight to continue this practice. This is well documented, why is there controversy?

It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date. You have shown interest in discussions about infoboxes and to edits adding, deleting, collapsing, or removing verifiable information from infoboxes. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
Sorry you have to deal with this guy Jojhutton. He is vehemently anti-infobox and anytime he attaches himself to an page (mostly British actors from what I can tell) he refuses to allow infoboxes on them and gets very condescending when others question why. He brings down the quality of said articles and I wish he wouldn't be so headstrong about them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.22.123.111 (talk) 00:50, 12 September 2020 (UTC) Milhist coordinator election voting has commencedG'day everyone, voting for the 2020 Wikiproject Military history coordinator tranche is now open.

Please assume good faith, respect others' opinions (while still offering counterarguments without bludgeoning every single one), and be civil yourself, and we'll have a better shot at attaining what we're seeking.

Minor formatting issue with your signatureHi Jojhutton, I just wanted to let you know that there's a minor formatting issue in your talk page signature that messes with people who have Syntax highlighter enabled in their Preferences. In [[User talk:Jojhutton|<font color="#CC9900"><sup>Hutton</sup>]]</font>, the ]] is placed such that the highlighter gets confused when looking for the close-wikibracket. This can be fixed by simply moving the close-wikibracket to the end like this: [[User talk:Jojhutton|<font color="#CC9900"><sup>Hutton</sup></font>]] without changing the visual appearance of your signature at all.

End of the Civil WarWhile I may take the matter to the talk page of the article on American Civil War, I thought I would let you know my reading of the May 9, 1865 proclamation in advance in case you wish to comment off the article talk page. To accurately present my analysis, although I am sorry that it takes up some space, I copy the New York Times article about the proclamation from the citation in the Conclusion of the War section of the article. (I just remembered: it is behind a paywall so you might not be able to access most of the article unless I copied it in below.) You will note in the first paragraph that two classes of persons by whom (1) the armed resistance (2) as well as the operations of the insurgent cruisers were directed are the subjects of the proclamation. The rest of the paragraph, however, deals only with the cruisers and the crews. It is the "persons on board" the cruisers who may no longer have immunity for their crimes after the proclamation date. No other class of persons is identified, or more importantly, subject to sanctions in this paragraph. In the second paragraph, the proclamation declares the actions of Jefferson Davis, John Letcher and William Smith in the State of Virginia null and void. In the next paragraph, all persons who take actions pursuant to the authority or commission of the three men since the 17th day of April, 1861, shall be deemed and taken as in rebellion against the United States, and shall be dealt with accordingly. It does not say they will be treated as criminals or "no longer have immunity" for their crimes. By this time the "dealt with accordingly" meant the liberal terms of the earlier surrenders. That is how the later surrendering forces actually were treated. So I do not see how the war could be ended by a proclamation which states "armed resistance...is virtually at an end" and specifies loss of immunity rather than "dealt with accordingly" only for continuing commerce raiders. Confederate armies were still in the field and later surrendered as late as June 23, 1865 under terms similar to those given at Appomattox, although they might have continued to fight. Some skirmishes, including the Battle of Palmito Ranch, took place later. I know of no record of any person involved in later incidents, or having not yet surrendered on May 9, being prosecuted as a criminal. Not that it matters, I suppose, but I have not seen the proclamation cited elsewhere as a definitive end date for the Civil War. It actually isn't even cited as such in the article given the wording of the Conclusions section. If you think it is worth further discussion here or wish to expand on your point, let me know. (I'll check back.) I don't claim infallibility but I think there is good reason not to treat the May 9 proclamation as the end date of the Civil War. I would certainly be interested in any facts, statements or references that support that interpretation, however. Otherwise, after some time for you to comment further if you wish to do so, I will likely take it to the talk page. I suppose I should have done in preference to just using the edit summary. In view of the additional facts and citations in the article and the debate over the conclusion of the war in general, I think this probably should be considered not worth a big argument and I plan to treat it that way. WASHINGTON, Tuesday, May 9. President JOHNSON has issued a proclamation, declaring that, whereas armed resistance to the authority of the government in certain States heretofore declared to be in insurrection, may be regarded as virtually at an end, and the persons by whom that resistance as well as the operations of the insurgent cruisers were directed, are fugitives of captives; and, whereas, it is understood that certain cruisers are are still infesting the high seas, and others are preparing to capture, burn and destroy vessels of the United States, he enjoins all naval, military and civil officers of the United States diligently to endeavor by all lawful means to arrest the said cruisers and to bring them into a port of the United States, in order that they may be prevented from committing further depredations on commerce, and that the persons on board of them may no longer enjoy immunity for their crimes; and he further proclaims and declares that if, after a reasonable time shall have elapsed for this proclamation to become known in the ports of nations claiming to have been neutral, the said insurgent cruisers and the persons on board of them shall continue to receive hospitality in the said ports, this government will deem itself justified in refusing hospitality to the public vessels of such nations in ports of the United States, and in adopting such other measures as may be deemed advisable toward vindicating the national sovereignty. The President has also issued an executive order to reestablish the authority of the United States and execute the laws within the geographical limits known as the State of Virginia. It is ordered that all acts and proceedings of the political, military and civil organizations which have been in a state of insurrection and rebellion within the State of Virginia against the authority and laws of the United States, and of which JEFFERSON DAVIS, JOHN LETCHER and WILLIAM SMITH were late the respective chiefs, are declared null and void. All persons who shall exercise, claim, pretend or attempt to exercise any political, military or civil power, authority, jurisdiction or right, by, through or under JEFFERSON DAVIS, late of the City of Richmond, and his confidants, or under JOHN LETCHER or WILLIAM SMITH, and their confidants, or under any pretended political, military or civil commission or authority issued by them or of them, since the 17th day of April, 1861, shall be deemed and taken as in rebellion against the United States, and shall be dealt with accordingly. The Secretaries of State, War, Treasury, Navy and Interior, and the Postmaster-General, are ordered to proceed to put in force all laws of the United States pertaining to their several departments, and the District Judge of said district to proceed to hold courts within said States in accordance with the provisions of the acts of Congress. The Attorney-General will instruct the proper officers to libel and bring to judgment, confiscation and sale, property subject to confiscation and enforce the administration of justice within said State, in all matters civil and criminal within the cognizance of the Federal courts; to carry into effect the guarantee of the Federal Constitution of a republican form of State Government, and afford the advantage and security of domestic laws, as well as to complete the reestablishment of the authority of the laws of the United States, and the full and complete restoration of peace within the limits aforesaid. FRANCIS H. PIERPONT, Governor of the State of Virginia, will be aided by the Federal Government so far as may be necessary in the lawful measures which he may take for the extension and administration of the State Government throughout the geographical limits of said State. Thanks for hearing me out. And thanks for your service.

... and in the context, - I laughed when I saw the exchange of five years ago. I am at good terms with Dr. Blofeld by now, I hope for Tim riley with whom I wrote articles when we were younger, including The Company of Heaven (of all titles). Ssilvers has forbidden me thank you clicks, and SchroCat - sad chapter. I gave him Precious before I even understood what an infobox was. Ssilvers' points have all been refuted multiple times. All ideas how we can get to editing infoboxes just like other content - editing boldly, and discuss when questioned - welcome. Adding an infobox doesn't mean invading territory, but that seems as what it is perceived by an elite group of editors. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:42, 14 December 2022 (UTC) DMY to MDY format on Hogwarts LegacyHello Jojhutton. I see on your edit that you use script to convert from DMY to MDY format on this edit because it's an American-made game. However, there's already a consensus to use DMY per discussion on its talk page https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Hogwarts_Legacy&diff=prev&oldid=1139517956, since the game's plot has strong ties to the United Kingdom and use consistently British English. I suggest you revert back to its DMY format per consensus, and discuss it on its talk page.
