Buckshot, I'm sorry for reverting you in the Moscow Military District article, but adding an entire section in Russian is far too much in my opinion. Just give me some time and I will find somebody to translate those names. Thanks for understanding! -- Eurocopter tigre 20:04, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
That maps are brilliant Colin! I wonder if Komersant are actually a press agency, because they look like a secret service!:)) Looks like I'll have to learn some Russian :P. Cheers, -- Eurocopter tigre 18:12, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Re. your adding citation-required tag to the assertion that "all" armies were notifies. Wilmot ("Struggle for Europe") and Foot ("SOE") both state that 7th and 15th armies were alerted, but only 15th Army HQ passed SD's warnings to its troops. I'll verify this and try and put it into the article. HLGallon 05:04, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
{{helpme}}- How do I move a article from one title to an existing redirect's title without destroying the edit history? I want to move the contents of Sixth Army (Soviet Union) to 6th Army (Soviet Union). Buckshot06 15:34, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi, you are quite right it's under French command, is there something in the article that could lead someone to think otherwise ? Sometimes when translating the meaning of the sentence can get altered, (the worst type of mistake). The second phrase is It is under French command., but perhaps another part of the article contradicts this, please tell me or correct it if there is such a sentence. I am a native English speaker leaving in France too, by the way, but for 20 years now, so it's like my mother tongue, you will see sometimes you will lapse into franglais too.

I noticed that you tagged the page Jesus clip for speedy deletion with the reason "non notable". However, "non notable" is not currently one of our criteria for speedy deletion, so I have removed the speedy deletion tag. You can use Wikipedia:Articles for deletion if you still want the page to be deleted. Thanks! Stifle ( talk) 18:08, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Buckshot06, suggest you move the article's name to "Sixth Guards Tank Army (Soviet Union)". Nice article. Cheers, W. B. Wilson 18:58, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Well, it would be possible to generate such a list by cross-referencing the main article categories with the task force ones; but there isn't any such feature implemented at the moment. If we re-generate the assessment lists (a matter that's being discussed by the coordinators), I'll try to put that feature in. Kirill 01:43, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Good day Colin and thanks for the corrections made on my user page! Unfortunately I was unable to contribute to wiki in the past few days, as I changed my internet provider. Just a question: are those Russian Armed Forces graphics really correct - I'm asking you this because I just found a submarine icon in Moscow :)). I'm quite surprised that the Russians released such informations to the public... Best, -- Eurocopter tigre 17:43, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

You should reform the Ukrainian Ground Forces page with the same amount of detail that you did the Russian Ground Forces. By reading the Ukrainian page, there is no discussion of problems there, nor of the gross underfunding - the Ukrainian military budget is only around $600 million compared to the Russian military budget of $32.4 billion, some 55 times higher than the Ukrainian one yet the size of the military is only some 4 times larger.-- Miyokan 01:46, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

You removed "attention=yes <!- article needs references ->" from Peleg Wadsworth. I thought I followed the instructions on WP:MILHIST carefully in regard to the applicability of the "attention=yes" but since you couldn't possibly mean to indicate that the article is not in need of references, the applicability of the "attention=yes" must be the problem. Please help me understand.-- Doug.( talk • contribs) 22:26, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Your arguments added to the discussion won the day. The AfD was closed and the article was deleted. Bearian 21:53, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
It was a Yom Kippur War Division. Most if not all IDF units switched its numbers after 1973. Most of it switched again after First Lebanon War. Originaly, after Second Lebanon War it was supposed to switch again, but I don't believe that the Israeli General Staff would take such an obsolete and ineffective measure of classifying. However, there is no chance that a nowadays' "ha-Mapatz" Div. have the number 210. Anyway, I don't think that it is a good idea to write the "ha-Mapatz" Armored Division might be the 210th Armd Div. Either it is, or it isn't. Flayer 21:17, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi.
I notice you added a merge tag to Guards unit which I just split off from Russian Guards. Please add your views to the discussion at talk:Russian Guards.

Hi. Responded to your last at talk:Russian Guards#Renaming. You have a good point, but the best solution is not yet clear to me. — Michael Z. 2007-10-24 21:53 Z
I asked similar questions on Talk:General_of_the_Army_(Russia), Talk:Marshal_of_the_Russian_Federation, and Talk:Marshal_of_the_Soviet_Union, and on that third page, you answered my question and said that my proposed answer was correct. So thanks. You also linked me to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Military_history/Russian_and_Soviet_military_history_task_force for a previous similar discussion. That previous discussion was about Russian ranks. My first question for you now is: were the Soviet ranks the same as the Russian ranks? Also, do you know the answer to my question here: Talk:Chief_Marshal? Thanks. - Shaheenjim 04:25, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I must admit that I don't know that much about Russian military history or order of battle, so I didn't know there were two divisions named "27". I was just looking at it from a formatting & standardization point of view, so I defer to your superior knowledge of the subject. I created several redirect pages to 27th Guards Rifle Division to make searching for it in the Wikipedia database more user-friendly which may need to be sorted out. Pen of bushido 13:30, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
The first 12 IDF brigades of 1948 and its battalions were numbered consequently. Later on there was no consistent logic of re-numbering or giving numbers to new units (divisions, brigades and so on). For example, unit #669 was numberd this way because it is similar to Sayeret Matkal's number (then possibly considered #169 or #269). Divisions could be numbered for its first commander favorite number x10, and re-numbered after any war after next commander's favorite number x10, or using same digits in other order. Nowadays there is no scheme, except keeping same old "rules" like numbering Y battalion of XXX reservist brigade like XXXY, and so on. And even these "rules" non always obeyed.

Hi; I have begun to create an OrBat graphic of the Ukrainian Ground Forces as there is now enough information available. But one question remains: What is the strength of the regiments and battalions? Examples:
Now my question is: What symbol should I use for the regiments and battalions? As I see it the regiments should have the battalion symbol II and the units called battalions should have the company symbol I. But maybe you can help me and give me a better idea what strength symbol I should use. The units names I will copy 1 to 1 from wikipedia into the graphic - that means units named regiments will also be named regiment in the graphic. thanks, -- noclador 22:48, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

I will do a graph of the Russian Ground Forces. Hopefully one day we will get more details. Today the Japanese Ministry of Defense answered me - in effect the said "get lost"... ggrrr... such things anger me. South Korea, Taiwan and the PLA are also very difficult to get infos, as all three classify the information about the location and composition of their units. The only nation in Asia that does publish good data about its units is the Army of Singapore - I will do that one too in the next weeks. Also Malaysia has much info available, but its structure is nonexistent as it doesn't use brigades, but the same kind of useless organization that the South African Army uses. -- noclador 13:41, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi; as you can see I created the VDV graphic. There are many more units in the chart than you listed on my talkpage, because I checked my sources and much more info ( i.e. this one) I think the chart is now extremly detailed - the units are all there with their correct names, but the symbols show the real strength (i.e. all the Artillery Regiments (except the 1065th) have just 600 men and therefore I gave them the symbol of a battalion. The only missing thing are the support units of the 31st Brigade. -- noclador 00:52, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Hiya mate.. Thanks for editing the Proof and Experimental Establishment page. I wanted to clarify an issue. You have added Indian before DRDO in the infobox and page. I agree that the name sounds generic, but if you search wikipedia, there is only one Organization that is named so. Considering that, I think its not necessary to add the country specification as well, especially when it would be very clear just from a cursory reading of the article. What do you say... Cheers.

Hmm, first of all, you need to stop being patronizing and treat me like a 5 years old child who needs to do his homework in order to get his candy.. Secondly, I advise you to look more carefully at the air armies articles, as I'm absolutely sure it would not fall under copyright infrigement. I would say that you "fixed" the 14th Air Army article wrong, as you don't have to mention the source three times per paragraph while it is mentioned at the bottom of the article - actually, mentioning five times in a text that AFM said this, this and this, it's like an advertisement for them. -- Eurocopter tigre ( talk) 13:28, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
