Fair use rationale for File:Binh Gia VC.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Binh Gia VC.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under
fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to
the file description page and edit it to include a
fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "
my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on
criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the

Orphaned non-free image File:Binh Gia VC.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Binh Gia VC.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see

Fair use rationale for File:Vo_Minh_Triet.jpg

File:Vo_Minh_Triet.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under
fair use but there is no
explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the

Thanks for uploading File:1979 Vietnam invasion.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of
fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our

Battle of Lima Site 85
Canpark,
I have a number of concerns about your writing and editing on this page. First your edits of 18 June 2011 were tagged with an "m" indicating a minor edit, but with the comment "major expansion" you should know not to use the "m" tag in this case.
Your "major expansion" included the deletion of various parts of the article including all mention of the US personnel missing in action and their recovery. You have no right to unilaterally delete these sections without providing an explanation of why you have done so. I have reinstated the sections.
Your renaming of the article was justified by your claim that "Lima Site 85 only refer to the battle on the hill top, but there were fighting around the hill as well. Google search will reveal more results for Battle of Phou Pha Thi)", actually even after your renaming a Google search of battle of Phou Pha Thi delivers 207,000 results while the Battle of Lima Site 85 delivers over 7 million results, while a search of Phou Pha Thi delivers 16 million results while Lima Site 85 delivers over 32 million results. The battle may have been all over and around the hill, but the reason for the battle was because of Lima Site 85. Unless you can provide a better justification, I will revert to the previous name.
You fail to quote at all from One Day Too Long: Top Secret Site 85 and the Bombing of North Vietnam by Timothy Castle isbn 978-0231103176 which as far as I am aware is the only book solely written about the battle. Chauhan's book on which you seem to rely for much background information is clearly unreliable as I have identified and corrected numerous errors.
You place a lot of reliance on Do's book. Unfortunately even today the Vietnamese Government persists in putting out propaganda regarding the American War and so anything produced by the Vietnamese Government and particularly the People’s Army Publishing House cannot be assumed to be a reliable source and must be approached with scepticism if it is to be used as a source at all.
You seem very keen to push articles through GA appraisal. This is not a competition, this is a collaborative effort and you should bear that in mind. You should withdraw LS-85 from GAN until it can be cleaned up.
For writing. For writing excellent articles. For writing excellent articles without seeking recognition. Thank you, Canpark, for your tireless work on Vietnam War articles. I think you deserve much more praise than you do right now. Keep it up.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:126th SFG Southwest Cay.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:126th SFG Southwest Cay.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by
Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from
Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an
image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our
criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the

Hi. The
Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland
Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and
Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like
Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current
Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --

An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at
Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.

Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
