Talk pages[edit]

I noticed you removing a significant amount of content from various article talk pages as per "notforum", but I'm not sure all the removals are correct. If a post has anything to do with the content of the article, it should remain. If the post has been replied to by another user, it should remain. It if is part of an active discussion, you can consider reminding the user of the guidelines, or perhaps hatting, but if it's an older, inactive discussion, then there's really no need. - wolf 19:09, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Based on the guidance provided on WP:NOTAFORUM, I removed those comments which I felt did not adhere to best practices or guidance. If you feel that this was done maliciously or that certain (or all) comments should stay, feel free to revert. -Signaleer (talk) 22:02, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, I certainly don't think anything was done maliciously. I actually believe you have the project's best interests at heart. That said, I felt that perhaps you were taking somewhat of a narrow or strict interpretation of wp:forum. Some of the comments were indeed related to article content and so I reverted a couple back to the talk page if they were recent, and older ones I just archived. There certainly is some off-topic nonsense that gets posted to talk pages at times and I applaud your effort to clean that up. Happy editing! - wolf 22:17, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

October 2021[edit]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at United States Army Special Forces. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. - wolf 12:45, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring notification[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on United States Army Special Forces. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. - wolf 19:44, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Featured picture scheduled for POTD[edit]

Hi Signaleer,

This is to let you know that File:Bombing of Concordia Vega oil refinery in Ploești by USAAF B-24s, 31 May 1944 — restored.jpg, a featured picture you uploaded, has been selected as the English Wikipedia's picture of the day (POTD) for November 5, 2022. A preview of the POTD is displayed below and can be edited at Template:POTD/2022-11-05. If you have any concerns, please place a message at Wikipedia talk:Picture of the day. Thank you!

Photograph of U.S. Consolidated B-24 Liberators just after bombing the Concordia Vega oil refinery in Ploiești, Romania on 31 May 1944 during World War II.

Strategic bombing during World War II involved sustained aerial attacks on railways, harbours, cities, workers' and civilian housing, and industrial districts in enemy territory during World War II (1939–1945). Strategic bombing as a military strategy is distinct both from close air support of ground forces and from tactical air power. During World War II, many military strategists of air power believed that air forces could win major victories by attacking industrial and political infrastructure, rather than purely military targets. Strategic bombing often involved bombing areas inhabited by civilians, and some campaigns were deliberately designed to target civilian populations in order to terrorize them and disrupt their usual activities. International law at the outset of World War II did not specifically forbid the aerial bombardment of cities – despite the prior occurrence of such bombing during World War I (1914–1918), the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), and the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945).

Proposed deletion of File:Caravaggio Nativity.jpg[edit]

The file File:Caravaggio Nativity.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unused. Superseded by files at c:Category:Nativity with St. Francis and St. Lawrence by Caravaggio.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 05:33, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Correction to previous election announcement[edit]

Just a quick correction to the prior message about the 2022 MILHIST coordinator election! I (Hog Farm) didn't proofread the message well enough and left out a link to the election page itself in this message. The voting will occur here; sorry about the need for a second message and the inadvertent omission from the prior one. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:42, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
