Re: War-campaign-battle struture

I think there are two issues to consider here:

• How are the topics covered in published historical works? We shouldn't be inventing new ways to organize material, really.
• How sensible is it to split by campaigns, regardless?

(Keep in mind that "campaign", when used in the pre-modern era, is generally understood to mean a single season of campaigning—usually early spring to late autumn. Thus, a long war may contain a number of campaigns, but that doesn't mean that it would make sense to split articles up along those lines; an article presenting only a single year worth of narrative is generally devoid of context and difficult to understand.)

In your specific case, though, I see no problem with articles like Viking raids of 1017, etc., mainly because these raids are never termed "wars" in hitorical literature; but this is a terminology issue, not an organizational one. These raids aren't "campaigns" within a larger war; they're just raids, without any well-defined surrounding conflict.

Hope that helps! Kirill Lokshin 16:51, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, I would suggest having the actual discussion on the talk pages of the relevant articles, and leaving a note at WT:MILHIST asking for comments on said talk pages. Kirill Lokshin 18:12, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Russian literature

Hello! I noticed that you reverted my edit that added Ayn Rand to Russian literature. Rand is a prominent Russian author and philosopher in the 20th century, may you please state reasons that she should not be mentioned as a figure in Russian literature? I understand that she wrote in English, but so did Vladimir Nabokov. Thanks! Wooyi^{Talk to me?} 18:52, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, that explains much. I'm currently reading Pnin for a school project. :-) Wooyi^{Talk to me?} 19:26, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Russian occupation of Eastern Galicia, 1914-1915

Could you please review the talk page on Russian occupation of Eastern Galicia, 1914-1915? Your edit was good faith but I think there are good reasons not to rename the article. I'm worried about an edit war with Russians wanting to rename it "liberation". A nuetral and no less accurate trm seems to be better. Respectfully,Faustian (talk) 03:53, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
