At J. R. R. Tolkien, contrary to WP:BRD, when you made a Bold edit and were Reverted, you should immediately have resorted to Discussion rather than beginning an edit-war with a second reversion. An edit comment is not an acceptable discussion when a matter is already known to be disputed. As an experienced editor you should not be approaching a dialogue in this way.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Battle of the Mareth Line, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.
It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 21:58, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Battle of Vimy Ridge - Duplicate wikilinks?
'Arthur Currie' may have a duplicate wikilink somewhere in this article, but WHERE IS IT and how can you find it without scanning the ENTIRE TEXT? Any helpful pointers for a technically challenged wikipedian? Spyglasses (talk) 16:48, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
- Hello, if you look down the left margin there's a box called tools. You can install a script which adds "Highlight duplicate wikilinks" at the bottom of the box. When you click on, a link with a duplicate has a green dotted line around it and the duplicate a red letterbox. It means that you can add a link then check if it's a dupe; I find it helpful. I can do it for you if you like. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 16:53, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
- see here User:Keith-264/common.js Keith-264 (talk) 16:55, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for your helpful information. Currie is a somewhat overlooked hero in Canada because he refused to accept a politically connected officer in his staff and was sidelined after the war in retribution.Spyglasses (talk) 17:01, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
- Didn't he have some trouble with getting his fingers caught in the till? Regards Keith-264 (talk) 17:24, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
- THAT may have been part of the retribution. The Minister of Defense tried to have a relative posted to Curries' staff but he refused to accept the individual. The Minister made all sorts of trouble for Currie afterwards, likely to include 'looking for evidence' of misappropriation of funds. Spyglasses (talk) 17:53, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Battle of Vimy Ridge
In the article Battle of Vimy Ridge, this is described with the term "British Empire victory". How did this description become applied here? Tennisedu (talk) 04:23, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Howdy. Just wanted to make sure you were aware that additions edits took place after your last revision, just in case my edit (to clean up the source formatting) somehow removed the alert for you.EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 22:42, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
Typos
Hey! I've done a spot check of some of your recent edits and many of them contain pretty significant factual, grammatical, or typographical errors despite edit summaries saying that you're correcting these things. If you're using a script, I think something is wrong. They all look like they're good faith edits, though, so I would just encourage you to go back over some of your recent contributions to ensure no unintended mistakes were inserted. I've started correcting some of these issues, too. Thanks! ~ Pbritti (talk) 14:49, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- I suggest that you stop unilaterally reverting my edits and discuss them individually (apart from sis, which was a typo) as you appear to have difficulty parsing a sentence. Could it be that you write in American rather than English? Regards Keith-264 (talk) 17:16, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Wikiproject Military history coordinator election nominations open
Nominations for the upcoming project coordinator election have opened. A team of up to ten coordinators will be elected for the next coordination year. The project coordinators are the designated points of contact for issues concerning the project, and are responsible for maintaining our internal structure and processes. They do not, however, have any authority over article content or editor conduct, or any other special powers. More information on being a coordinator is available here. If you are interested in running, please sign up here by 23:59 UTC on 14 September! Voting will commence on 15 September.

History of military logistics

Image issues
Hey Keith - on these two edits, why did you make the map smaller? It's fairly hard to see at 200 px. I don't see the benefit of making it smaller. And as for the second image, I know you prefer to have the top of the image lined up with the text, which I don't much care about, but do you not see that the image screws with the header below when it's left aligned? Parsecboy (talk) 14:14, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
- The map isn't detailed and the smaller size fits the style of the article; on my laptop the left alignment didn't impinge on the next header. Rather than right align it, I'd rather put it elsewhere or get rid. At least someone read the bugger ;o) Regards Keith-264 (talk) 14:51, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
- It's difficult to make images fit for different display sizes (and smartphones are an entirely different layout too), but I think it's generally better to defer to larger monitors (or at least reasonable desktop sizes - I don't think we need to get carried away there) since smaller ones will generally not have issues with layouts that work better on larger screens.
- And I get what you mean - very few read the vast majority of the articles I write! Parsecboy (talk) 14:23, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
- I have a laptop, about 14" by 9" and my placement looked OK but we can't predict how it will render for other people. There's the | upright = function but I need to look at it again, I've been using it for size alterations but there might be more. If it's any consolation, I like your articles. Some of my prides and joys get about four views a week and Sunday afternoon knock-offs get 150,000....Grrrr. ;O) Keith-264 (talk) 23:04, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
HX convoys
Do the number of ships and number of losses include escorts? If so, I think this should be mentioned specifically. If not, are the numbers available, especially for losses since some escorts would not have been with the convoys for their entire journeys? Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 00:30, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
I see this has been reviewed while I was writing this. I am repeating it on the article talk page since other questions were also added there by Djmaschek. Donner60 (talk) 00:34, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
Part of The Burma campaign
Just to make sure we're on the same page:
- You see that the subheading in the infobox says "Part of The Burma campaign" because that's how the | partof = section of the template is rendered ...
- and you understand that "The" should not be capitalised because "the" is not a part of a title of a work?
Yue🌙 00:06, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
- Look at two of the articles you edited recently, where "the" is capitalised in neither article:
- Battle of Liège: "Part of the Western Front of the First World War"
- Operation Bowery: "Part of the Battle of the Mediterranean of the Second World War"
- Yue🌙 00:08, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Yue: Not everyone does it but when in for a B class review it's usually recommended; I am working on Bowery to get it to B class standard and haven't finished. You might enquire at the Milhist talk page here Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history in case this had changed. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 00:20, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
@Yue: I'm afraid not. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 00:58, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
