You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:
This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.200.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 February 2025. Your current IP address is 44.200.158.167.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

;<big>From the Judges</big>
We're still going strong.  Couple of things though; please note that you must make it known you are in the WikiCup when nominating FAs, FLs, FPos, FPs, and FSs.  This is to lower the possibility of bias.  We're also changing the way you get to the next round.  Now, the top ''two'' from each round get through, along with '''ten wildcards'''.  This means that even if you're not in the top two you can still get into Round 2, so even if you're in the [[group of death]] you can still go through.  Hopefully this will be fairer for all.  We've also unfortunately had our first withdrawal - {{flagicon|El Salvador}} [[User:Truco|Truco]] has left the Cup.  Best wishes for him in the future.

== Re: Request ==

Hi Cam! I will try to get to your article in the next couple of days. I have one article to do before yours, and then I'll grab it, if no one else has by that point. Today is fairly busy for me, so it may be tomorrow before I have a chance to look at your article. [[User:Dana boomer|Dana boomer]] ([[User talk:Dana boomer|talk]]) 12:48, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
:Looks like Bellhalla grabbed it, so I'll cross it off my list. Good luck with the GA review! [[User:Dana boomer|Dana boomer]] ([[User talk:Dana boomer|talk]]) 00:26, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

== GA nomination for {{ship|Japanese aircraft carrier|Shinano}} ==

Hello. I've reviewed the article {{ship|Japanese aircraft carrier|Shinano}} for its nomination for [[WP:GA|Good Article]] status. I have some minor concerns, so I am placing the article on hold for seven days. My complete review may be found [[Talk:Japanese aircraft carrier Shinano/GA1|here]]. If you have any questions about the review or individual issues I have raised, please note them on the review page (which is on my watchlist) and I will answer them there. When you have addressed the issues I have mentioned, I will be happy to reevaluate the nomination. Thanks, and good editing. — [[User:Bellhalla|Bellhalla]] ([[User talk:Bellhalla|talk]]) 19:56, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
:Cam, you might want to re-word your nom for the ''Yamato'' GT, you put it in the wrong place: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Featured_topic_candidates&diff=prev&oldid=269704655], and as a GT not FT, it isn't the second, but more like the fifth since Bellhalla has the first four in submarines. -'''[[User:MBK004|MBK]]'''<sub>[[User talk:MBK004|004]]</sub> 04:52, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm surprised that you don't have a DYK to your name.

Get to work! -'''[[User:MBK004|MBK]]'''<sub>[[User talk:MBK004|004]]</sub> 00:20, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

::Hi, Cam. I saw you mention that you're planning on fixing up the ''Kongō'' class ships; I've got a copy of Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships 1906-1921, which has a pretty good amount of technical data, and a decent amount of service history. If you want some help, just drop me a line. I know Ed also has the 1906-1921 edition (and I believe the 1922-45 edition as well, which might have more information); I'm sure he'll be happy to help as well. [[User:Parsecboy|Parsecboy]] ([[User talk:Parsecboy|talk]]) 01:01, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
:::I can't believe that I missed this on my watchlist earlier...but feel free to ping me if you need help at DYK, and ping me if you would like help with the ''Kongo'' class ships (if you don't, I'll sit on the sidelines and just review it for A-class ;) 
:::...but I don't have the 1922-45 edition. :(  I would like to get it though...maybe when I'm working 30 hours in the summer. <small>I used [http://www.books.google.com/ Google Books] for ''Alaska'' class cruiser. But if you use that, verify your authors/editors through Amazon - they've screwed up authors ''way'' too many times by them.</small>—'''<span style="font-family:Script MT Bold;">[[User:the_ed17|<span style="color:#800000;">Ed </span><span style="color:#00008B;">17</span>]] <sup><small>[[User talk:the_ed17|<span style="color:#800000;">(Talk</span>]] / [[Special:Contributions/the_ed17|<span style="color:#800000;">Contribs)</span>]]</small></sup></span>''' 05:08, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

== [[Second Battle of Passchendaele‎]] ==

I'm on the tail end of largely re-writing Second Battle of Passchendaele‎. Given your past involvement I would appreciate it if you could have a look over (copy edit). If you could suggest any sources to incorporate the experience of the British 5th Army (it's still lacking at this point) that would be appreciated. [[User:Labattblueboy|Labattblueboy]] ([[User talk:Labattblueboy|talk]]) 17:17, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

== Siege of Leningrad ==

Thanks for your offer to help. It seems that our anonymous editor started to spill the article to the other articles: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Co-belligerence&diff=269909619&oldid=248266138] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Continuation_War&diff=269912302&oldid=267153029], taken from Siege of Leningrad article and it's talk page. I think you have better experience about what to consider about these edits, and how to react properly. --[[User:Whiskey|Whiskey]] ([[User talk:Whiskey|talk]]) 07:05, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

After a month quiet time, the anonymous editors are back in the article with the same agenda. And their responsiveness to any kind of argumentation seems non-existent.:-( --[[User:Whiskey|Whiskey]] ([[User talk:Whiskey|talk]]) 23:47, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

== Any info? ==

So I think that I am going to write an article on the never-built [[Dutch Design 1047 battlecruiser]]...would any books in your library have any additional info than [[User:The_ed17/Sandbox#Dutch_Design_1047_battlecruiser|this]]? (Otherwise, I will probably have to wait until I buy ''Conway's 1922&ndash;1946'' so I can see the history ('background') of the Royal Netherlands Navy up to WWII on page 386 (argh Google Books...))

== GA nomination for {{ship|Japanese battleship|Haruna}} ==

Hello. I've reviewed the article {{ship|Japanese battleship|Haruna}} for its nomination for [[WP:GA|Good Article]] status. I have some concerns about prose, referencing, and image copyright along with some other lesser concerns, so I am placing the article on hold for seven days. My complete review may be found [[Talk:Japanese battleship Haruna/GA1|here]]. If you have any questions about the review or individual issues I have raised, please note them on the review page (which is on my watchlist) and I will answer them there. When you have addressed the issues I have mentioned, I will be happy to reevaluate the nomination. Thanks, and good editing. — [[User:Bellhalla|Bellhalla]] ([[User talk:Bellhalla|talk]]) 05:52, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey, [[User talk:842U]] is requesting an unblock.  Looking through the history of his talk page, I can see no block notice, nor anywhere where you listed diffs of his disruptive behavior.  If you could perhaps leave a comment at his talk page so that I may respond intelligently to his unblock request.  Since there is no information from you, I have no idea what sorts of "disruptive editing" we are talking about.  A short description of the problem, along with a few diffs to back it up, would be most helpful.

Hi! Climie.ca. 
Previously, you deleted contents.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Japanese_battleship_Yamato&diff=264771441&oldid=264771311] Then, I moved contents from [[Yamato class battleship]] what is same one you deleted.
[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yamato_class_battleship&diff=prev&oldid=271810082] 
But other user deleted the contents, because of your deletion.
I think [[Yamato (film)]] and [[Space Battleship Yamato]] suitable here. Because they are more relevant to [[Japanese battleship Yamato]] than [[Yamato class battleship]]. What do you think?--[[User:Bukubku|Bukubku]] ([[User talk:Bukubku|talk]]) 13:16, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey Cam. If you have a moment, could you take a look at my sandbox, [[User:Skinny87/sandbox2|here]]? I'm building an article on 1st Para Brigade in North Africa to bridge the gap between my articles on the early Brit operations, and the larger ones from Sicily onwards. I'm having two problems - well three, the other is images but not much I can do there, bugger all pics to use - firstly is the title okay? And secondly, is the section on Beja sufficiently summarized? Any commernts you could give would be a great help, cheers.

;<big>From the Judges</big>
Hi Guys! Well it's Thehelpfulone's first time properly looking at the scores as he made this newsletter and he's impressed on how much work you have all done. It's a shame to say that [[User:RyanCross|RyanCross]] has withdrawn from the Cup. We have almost hit 200 DYKs, not far off from 100 GA's and [[User:Durova|Durova]] has passed the 1000 point mark on points, with 1347 points so congratulations to her!

== Battle of Triangle Hill ==

Hi Climie

Can you help with [[Battle of Triangle Hill]]? It needs some copyediting for naturalisation, style and elegance. Thanks a lot. Greetings [[User:Wandalstouring|Wandalstouring]] ([[User talk:Wandalstouring|talk]]) 10:13, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
:No, it's not urgent. Take your time. Greetings [[User:Wandalstouring|Wandalstouring]] ([[User talk:Wandalstouring|talk]]) 08:48, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

== Editor review ==

Hello, you currently have an [[WP:ER|Editor review request]] listed on the main page, although it has failed to gain comments, are you still interested in having it open, if so or if not please acknowledge me of that to make a proper archival of the nomination. Thanks.--'''''<small>[[User:Truco|<font color="navy">TRU</font>]][[User talk:Truco|<font color="black">CO</font>]]</small>''''' 22:37, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
:Okay. Done. Sorry you were unable to gain comments, the process has gone through a "great depression" of editors. Feel free in the future to nominate another request if you like, maybe by then more reviewers will be available.--'''''<small>[[User:Truco|<font color="navy">TRU</font>]][[User talk:Truco|<font color="black">CO</font>]]</small>''''' 23:25, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Fixed - you didn't include the topic article as an article in the topic, merely the topic name.

==Battleship Yamato==

It is very well documented that the Yaamato and its fleet was turned back by Taffy 3 and aircraft from the other taffys, and that they were seriously mismatched. The account in the article makes it appear that the Yamato was victorious in hitting other ships. The [[rangekeeper]] article shows that japanese fire control was ineffective against targets which steered towards splashes, and the combat record shows no hits at long ranges - all of the hits were when they were close enough to the carriers to fall within the 10 mile range of 5 in batteries. Bottom line, Yamato in its only major surface action was effectively beaten by destroyers and destroyer escorts, but there is no hint of that in the article. What specfically do you dispute before I go back and restore the edits? Surely you are familiar with Hornfischer's account and BOSAMAR websites which document the events. The version there appears to whitewash the dissappointing performance of the Yamato. [[User:Bachcell|Bachcell]] ([[User talk:Bachcell|talk]]) 14:51, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
:You should be aware of what is happening with this article. I've just [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Japanese_battleship_Yamato&diff=next&oldid=273955894 reverted] a large restoration of material that was unreferenced from earlier in the article's gestation. I'd recommend taking a look at all of the edits of {{User|Bachcell}} to the article very closely since he seems to be set on making drastic changes to it.

;<big>From the Judges</big>
We have 31 days left, just one month left in the first round. The first two months have already produced spectacular results, and we're hoping to see a great race to the end of the round. Get those nominations in for them to count for this round, but remember that any nominations that are not promoted before the end of this round, will still count for round two if you make it. We unfortunately had another contestant, What!?Why?Who?, withdraw this week and we wish them the best.

We saw some big jumps in content upgrades this week! We saw 33 new good articles, 3 new featured articles and lists, 8 featured pictures, 5 featured sounds, and 24 did you know items. (Also note, there are 111 good articles and 222 did you know items as of this newsletter). Keep it up during the final push to round two. <small><span style="border:1px solid #660000;padding:1px;">[[User_talk:Garden|<font style="color:white ;background:#660000;">&nbsp;'''GARDEN'''&nbsp;</font>]]</span></small>, <font face="cursive">'''[[User:IMatthew|<span style="color:#007BA7">iMatthew</span>]] // [[User talk:IMatthew|<span style="color:#960018">talk</span>]]'''</font>, and [[User:Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:red;">'''The'''</span>]][[User_talk:Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:black;"> '''Helpful'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:red;"> '''One'''</span>]]

We also created the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Academy|Academy]], a hub for practical advice about creating, editing, and reviewing quality content. All project members are cordially invited to fill in some of the red links, and new ideas are always welcome.

:As you can see on the right, our A-class and featured content is growing quite rapidly; these numbers have now gone up by 45 for the second straight month! Great work! In addition, thanks go out to those who recently helped in reducing the [[WP:MHR#A-CLASS|A-class nominations]] backlog. Reviewers are still needed; if you feel up to it, please stop by and leave comments on an article&mdash;every review helps!

:Lastly, the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Contest|contest]] results for the month: [[User:Bellhalla|Bellhalla]] took the cake again with 77 points and gets the Chevrons, while [[User:Ian Rose|Ian Rose]] gets the Writer's Barnstar for his 60 points. Other participants included [[User:Abraham, B.S.|Bryce]] (49 points), [[User:Climie.ca|Cam]] (25), [[User:David Underdown|David Underdown]] (11), [[User:Kirk|Kirk]] (5), [[User:Parsecboy|Parsecboy]] (20), [[User:Piotrus|Piotrus]] (?), [[User:Rosiestep|Rosiestep]] (3), [[User:the_ed17|the_ed17]] (27), [[User:Wild Wolf|Wild Wolf]] (6), and [[User:YellowMonkey|YellowMonkey]] (35). 51<!--If Halocaust in Lithuania is included, 52--> total articles were improved as part of this.

Hey Cam! I'm working on the design section for this ship; would you like to write the "Service" section and co-nom a DYK? (Writing those isn't my favorite ;) As block quotes and infoboxes don't count in the pre-count (only prose), we only need to expand it by about 8,000 bytes to get the DYK (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:The_ed17/Sandbox2&action=history], though obviously I hope that we expand it a bit more than that. —'''<span style="font-family:Script MT Bold;">[[User:the_ed17|<span style="color:#800000;">Ed </span><span style="color:#00008B;">17</span>]] <sup><small>[[User talk:the_ed17|<span style="color:#800000;">(Talk</span>]] / [[Special:Contributions/the_ed17|<span style="color:#800000;">Contribs)</span>]]</small></sup></span>''' 22:42, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

==Answer==

Great Answer, I am glad to see some intellectual thought being put into these answers, and it is also good to see that most people are agreeing on this, that they do not want use the C-Class for assessment. Your opinion is greatly appreciated! Have a Great Day! [[User:Lordoliver|<font color="tan">'''Lord R. T. ''Oliver'' '''</font>]] <sup>[[User talk:Lordoliver|<font color="green">The <font color="black"> ''Olive''</font> Branch</font>]]</sup> 00:30, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Yes I agree, I don't think the C-Class will be necessary for this WikiProject. If the C-Class is to be implemented personally there are going to be many questions answered: 
*How do we decide what is a Start and what is a B-Class article.
*How are we going to go about reassessing the articles to see if they truly are Start or B-Class articles, or if the are C-Class articles.
*What happens if later on the members of the WikiProject decide that they don't want to use the C-Class for assessment. (Highly improbable but you never know) [[User:Lordoliver|<font color="tan">'''Lord R. T. ''Oliver'' '''</font>]] <sup>[[User talk:Lordoliver|<font color="green">The <font color="black"> ''Olive''</font> Branch</font>]]</sup> 00:52, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

::It would be automated; if it fails two or less of the five criterion, it is a C-class article (unless it fails B2, which automatically demotes it to start). Or something like that... —'''<span style="font-family:Script MT Bold;">[[User:the_ed17|<span style="color:#800000;">Ed </span><span style="color:#00008B;">17</span>]] <sup><small>[[User talk:the_ed17|<span style="color:#800000;">(Talk</span>]] / [[Special:Contributions/the_ed17|<span style="color:#800000;">Contribs)</span>]]</small></sup></span>''' 01:04, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

==Thanks for the Question==

Thanks for the question I think more of those kind of questions need to be asked of the Coordinator nominees, people need to know where everyone stands on important issues like those.

I'm afraid that I'm not really on top of this one - I don't know the history of the edit war.

First of all, I'm fairly new so feel free to scold me if I don't follow Wikipedian protocol or whatever.

My guess is this topic has been discussed before in relation to other pages, so I thought I'd get your opinion on this since you're coordinator of the German military history project (the other coordinator seems to be on WP break). -[[User:Gruendlich|Gruendlich]] ([[User talk:Gruendlich|talk]]) 22:15, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

== [[User:Adil your]] ==
Hi. Can you take a look at this guy's edits to variuos subcontinental war articles. I don't rate him as anything more than a vandal with the sources he is using, and in any case, he is reverting against a consensus, in my opinion, eg see [[Khemkaran]], and the ridiculous "source" that he is using.

**But do we really want to have a C-Class?
*I am really glad to see that the members are really showing that they care about the future of this WikiProject!
**But what if this all turns out wrong? 
This should all turn out right (but it is always good when it turns out the way you want it :) At the end one side will be forced to bow to the consensus of the WikiProject while the other side shall watch over.

;<big>From the Judges</big>
I think it's safe to say that this week is probably your last chance to nominate anything for promotion to count in this round, so start planning that all-important final push.  Bear in mind that anything not promoted this month will still count in the next round if you go through.  It's looking very close in the Wildcards section, so if you don't see yourself there, don't panic&mdash;you may not be too far off the pace! <small><span style="border:1px solid #660000;padding:1px;">[[User_talk:Garden|<font style="color:white ;background:#660000;">&nbsp;'''GARDEN'''&nbsp;</font>]]</span></small>, <font face="cursive">'''[[User:IMatthew|<span style="color:#007BA7">iMatthew</span>]] // [[User talk:IMatthew|<span style="color:#960018">talk</span>]]'''</font>, and [[User:Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:red;">'''The'''</span>]][[User_talk:Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:black;"> '''Helpful'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:red;"> '''One'''</span>]]

== Sad fact ==

You know the really bad thing about this: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AMBK004%2FSandbox%2FMILHIST&diff=277577791&oldid=277217090]?

== A-class review request ==

Hey Climie, I was wondering if you could review the [[Spokane, Washington]] article in an ACR. After you read the article, I believe all you need to do is apply the A-Class criteria to the article and put whether you believe it is worthy of being A-class in the section dealing with the review in the articles Talk page. Also, in addition to doing the assessment, it would be helpful if you could include some points for improvement. If you are up to review it, notify me on my Talk. Thanks!
