Military History articles

edit

Hi! I noticed your recent contributions to articles relating to Finnish military history (Finnish Civil War and Continuation War in specific), and wanted to both thank you for them and extend an invitation to WikiProject Military History. If you are interested in pushing Continuation War towards Featured Article status, it might not be a bad idea to go through the MilHist A-class review after the peer review you recently initiated. To quote the from that page: The Milhist A-Class standard is deliberately set high, very close to featured article quality..

On a more personal note, I've been updating the Continuation War coverage of our more focused articles (see my user page), so let me know if you are interested in collaborating on something down the line. Ljleppan (talk) 08:39, 6 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Introduction to contentious topics

edit

You have recently edited a page related to the Balkans or Eastern Europe, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Good work with Continuation War

edit

Good work with Continuation War so far! Let me know if there's something I could do to help. I have very good access to academic sources (both in Finnish and English) through work. I also visit the National Library of Finland semi-regularly for work stuff, so let me know if there's something you'd like me to dig up there; they are the national legal deposit so they should quite literally have copies of every book published in Finland.

Continuation War

edit

Could you consider dropping by Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Continuation War and addressing some of the issues raised? My apologies for how long this review has taken, but trying to get it moving. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:01, 31 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
