Thanks for uploading Image:Phelpschance.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 23:12, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Chance Phelps, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{ hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --17:33, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

You commented on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Qian Zhijun. It has been closed early after a confusing and IMO unfortunate sequence of events. I have now listed it on Deletion Review. You may wish to express your views there. DES ^(talk) 01:04, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have perfomed a web search with the contents of United States Marine Corps Aviation, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: List of active United States Marine Corps aircraft squadrons. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 20:23, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi Bahamut0013. You are off to such a great start on the article United States Marine Corps Aviation that it may qualify to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page under the Did you know... section. The Main Page gets about 4,000,000 hits per day and appearing on the Main Page may help bring publicity and assistance to the article. However, there is a five day from article creation window for Did you know... nominations. Before five days pass from the date the article was created and if you haven't already done so, please consider nominating the article to appear on the Main Page by posting a nomination at Did you know suggestions. If you do nominate the article for DYK, please cross out the article name on the "Good" articles proposed by bot list. Also, don't forget to keep checking back at Did you know suggestions for comments regarding your nomination. Again, great job on the article. -- JayHenry 04:53, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

On 11 August, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article United States Marine Corps Aviation, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Y	Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s): Autoblock of 138.162.128.54 lifted or expired. Request handled by:  Netsnipe   ►  12:52, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I like to edit often from my work computer when things are slow, but, unfortunately, I share an rotating IP address allocation with all of the Marine Bases on the East Coast. Granted, a lot of jarheads are being retards and performing vandalism (especially unregistered), but I think I haven't done anything alll that bad in my few months here. The block isn't too crippling, since NMCI cycles me through a handful of IP ranges every few minutes, but it would get annoying if I was making a long, complicated edit.

Thanks! I got another one, and hope to accumulate many more, but since I am new to this, is it proper ettiquette to notify/ask permission of the person whose userbox you are using? —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheCoolestDude ( talk • contribs) 21:05, 17 August 2007

Userboxes and the Creation Thereof

Hey Bahamut. Thanks for the offer! After looking at the page on userboxes, it looks like I shouldn't have too many problems figuring it out on my own, but if I do, I'll ask you for help first. Thanks, Audacitor^{( t• c)} 15:19, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

So, I just tested my skill at making userboxes, and as usual, something that should've been simple and done in five minutes ballooned into two hours of hard work making the page to go with the userbox. The box was easy. Check it out here. Later, Audacitor^{( t• c)} 18:29, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! I might in a little while, but even after six days of working on my userspace, I'm still finding new stuff to add on. I plan to release much better tutorials than that one (which wasn't really intended to be a tutorial) later on when I feel I'm enough of an authority on it. -- Audacitor^{( t• c)} 19:44, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Just wanted to thank you for your help in creating the TKAM userbox. I have some ideas for a couple others. Might work on those soon, and I might come running to you for assistance as well! Thanks again! Moni3 23:44, 22 August 2007 (UTC)Moni3

Thanks very much for the offer to create a few userboxes for me - I do intend to use them and I am currently sporting the SAS one on my userpage if you want to look - anyway, I thought for the military in general, a userbox featuring text along the lines of "This user served in Iraq". Would be brilliant, because the current userbox is "This user has been deployed to Iraq as part of OIF". I am also very interested to know, from an American's point of view what the reputation of the SAS is outside the UK. ( GowsiPowsi 20:10, 24 August 2007 (UTC))

Thanks so much for the Operation TELIC box, please could you make some more.

I would really really like :

1. Picture: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0e/Scotbadge_tn.png Text: "No man touches this user with impunity"
2. Picture: None Text: "This user was in the Forty Twa"

Thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much ( GowsiPowsi 02:19, 26 August 2007 (UTC))

The "Forty Twa" is the nickname of my unit [1]

Massive props for the userbox. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GowsiPowsi ( talk • contribs) 20:16, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

Red Vs Blue2

Just wanted to say thanks for making the Red vs. Blue user boxes. I might even revive my userpage soon with them... crazyviolinist 05:38, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading Image:6thmt.gif. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 14:15, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

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're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{ WPMILHIST Announcements}} there.
• Most 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, article improvement contests, and other tasks.
• We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
• We've developed a style guide that covers article structure and content, template use, categorization, and many other issues of interest.
• The project has a stress hotline available for your use.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill 23:06, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for not responding sooner but I have been pretty busy at work the last few days. As for how to best break out the battalion list? I like the idea of breaking it down by MAGTF element with a few additions. For the ACE, I think we look pretty good. The list of aircraft squadrons and aviation support units are pretty good lists. The aviation support unit page could probably use some prettying up but the info on it is solid. The decommissioned units at the bottom of the page could probably be spun off into their own article because it is a very incomplete list and still needs alot of additions. I would not create one big decommissioned units page as it would be too cumbersome.

We could spin off a List of United States Marine Corps logistics and units list. That would be a cut and paste job for the most part with the addition of an explanation of the Marine Logistics Command, Blount Island Command, MPS and Barstow and Albany and how they interact with the fleet.

Aviation and Logistics are the easy part. It gets a little hairier with the GCE because of terminology. I would propose a List of United States Marine Corps infantry battalions. Again another cut and paste job but SOI, Recon and a few other should be added along with a new intro paragraph.

For all of the others...LAR, CEB, Tanks,Comm etc I would propse a List of United States Marine Corps separate battalions. That is their technical name and it is pretty appropriate and all encompassing. An intro should be included to explain how they fall under the MEF and/or Division and within the MAGTF as warfighting agencies.

These are my initial thoughts. Let me know what you think.-- Looper5920 16:26, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Do you know any japanese? -- ジェイターナー ( talk) 17:28, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, I was hoping somebody could teach me some Japanese. What do you mean stationed? are you in the army?

-- ジェイターナー ( talk) 17:41, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Ow, OK. I'll have I look, professional teachers cost too much (more than £10($20-ish)/month). Are you American?

-- ジェイターナー ( talk) 17:51, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi Bahamut0013 -- I noted on the NYS wikiproject page that you're interested in Fulton, Montgomery, and Schenectady counties. Me, i'm working with others on List of National Historic Landmarks in New York, which happens to have a few gaps in those counties. Hope you could visit the page, and hit the sort button by county, to see the ones lacking photos. I wonder if you could take any new photos, and/or contribute in any other way to any one of the articles on the sites themselves? Cheers, doncram ( talk) 02:37, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
