WikiProject Military History introduction[edit]

Hello 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 set of guidelines that cover 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.
If you have an idea for improving the project, we have a strategy think tank that provides a dedicated forum for discussing it.

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! --Sp33dyphil ©^hat_ontributions 23:42, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification[edit]

Hi. When you recently edited Chariovalda, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Batavi (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

No image of Tacitus survives[edit]

Hello, Per WP:V please provide a basis and source for your statement that "No image of Tacitus survives". Please also read WP:Truth. These statements can not be issued as edicts and per WP:V need to be substantiated by WP:RS sources. Please do not revert, sans discussion here about your sources for the stated claim. Thank you. History2007 (talk) 04:23, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A source of my statement is the caption of the image on this page Tacitus. The notion that this image is of Tacitus seems to have originated here which seems to be a reliable source. Where is this antique bust now I wonder? How was it determined that this bust is a faithful representation of Tacitus? Flaviusvulso (talk) 02:49, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for discussing it rather than reverting. But the way Wikipedia works, unless you have a source that says Mr X faked this image you have no basis (per WP:V) for sating that "No image of Tacitus survives" for that would be your own reasoning, which falls under WP:OR. And a reading of WP:Truth would be essential here. So we can all wonder, but in the absence of WP:RS sources the statement "No image of Tacitus survives" fails WP:V and can not be used in Wikipedia. I do not create Wiki-policy, I just follow it. History2007 (talk) 03:02, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: User pages[edit]

Sorry, I just realized what happened, and was going to tell you. That page ended up in the main space, like an article would. To make a page in your userspace, you need to put the word User: before the title. Want me to restore the page and move it to the correct one? Academic Challenger (talk) 03:56, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ironically, it looked at first like you were the vandal and were posting the warnings given to you for some reason! But looking at the contributions this is clearly not the case. Academic Challenger (talk) 03:58, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I was just saving some sample messages. Could you restore the page please? Flaviusvulso (talk) 04:01, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I created the page User:Flaviusvulso/ForVandals by restoring, moving and redeleting the page you created. You should fix the link on your user page to go to this correct page. Let me know if you have any questions or need any other assistance. Academic Challenger (talk) 04:08, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, its all good.Flaviusvulso (talk) 04:11, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How to change templates[edit]

I'd like to make a slight change to this template: "Julio-Claudian dynasty".

How can I do that?

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

It is located at Template:Julio-Claudian dynasty; remove the -helped from the braces above in edit mode here if you need further help about this. Dru of Id (talk) 03:37, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redundant categories[edit]

I removed the Ancient women category from the Thusnelda article because it is already in the Women in first century warfare category, which is a sub category of the Women in ancient warfare category, which is under the parent category of Ancient women. Its redundant. Asarelah (talk) 01:49, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense. Thanks. Flaviusvulso (talk) 01:56, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
