Eurocopter, PLEASE DO NOT 'update' the information in the RussAF article from the Geocities/9059 Pentagon site. It is incomplete, old, and inaccurate in several places. As I've said before, the most accurate site is Vad777's site, even if you have to get up very early so to view it a few minutes after midnight EST. I will now have to go back and re-do your edits!!

Pardon. Golts and Butowski are among the best informed journalist out there- I'm sorry about
my assertions. I will have to find AFM Aug 07 myself. But think. If you had the info, but not the money, you could construct a huge site, but not have enough money to host it- and thus have to put it on a free site. Why the best? Because I've seen several things on his site which I've disbelieved, and later found out through other coroboration to be true!
That's why I said what I said. I will change the orbat source to AFM Aug 07.

Best place would be the individual Fleet articles, though the Russian Navy page. For centrally controlled units, you could update and reorganise the Soviet Naval Aviation article to cover post-91 and put things there. Would be a good update generally. Great work. Also saw your first changes to the RLF page; good start; hope you're enjoying reading thu all those masses of CWIHP stuff.

Pai pe Ro Wiki Notice Board poti cere ajutor in mai multe chestii si poti sa-ti gasesti colaboratori. Nu cred ca gasesti multi, deoarece majoritatea membrilor sunt interesati de comunisti, etc. Cred ca eu sunt singurul care am pus un efort mare in a crea articole despre batalii, majoritatea fiind din Evul Mediu. Daca te uiti pe pagina mea, ai sa vezi. Eu am sa incerc sa-l promovez pe Battle of Vaslui si cred ca o sa reusesc sa fac acest lucru anul acesta. Nu cred ca te pot ajuta prea mult cu articolul despre Apararea Ro, deoarece nu este un subiect in care pot contribui cu prea multe, dar poate ca unele din bataliile incepute de mine te pot ajuta (Battle of Marasesti, Targu Frumos, etc.). --Thus Spake Anittas22:02, 2 July 2007 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-07-02T22:02:00.000Z","author":"Anittas","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Anittas-2007-07-02T22:02:00.000Z-Anittas-2007-07-02T21:32:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"Thus Spake Anittas"}}-->

The problem is as follows:
Wikipedia only allows fair use images under extremely restrictive circumstances - i.e. WP:NFCC
Images that have been granted wikipedia only permission {{Withpermission}} are only allowed to be used under the WP:NFCC criteria.
When we ask someone to release the image to wikipedia they must permit:
Commercial use
Modification
We allow them to require attribution, as it's part of the GFDL (also cc-sa or cc-sa-by).
I dropped the author a mail and he responded very quickly but in somewhat rough (autotranslated ?) English - I'm not sure I understood his reply, and I'm not sure he understood the above terms.
Did he release the image as per above ? in which case we can change the tag back to {{attribution}}
or
Is he saying the image is wikipedia only ? in which case we cannot use the image - per 1 and 2, since the use of the image does not meet WP:NFCC ?

I asked him to give me his permission to use Su-25 images taken by him on Wikipedia, and he accepted. That's all.

Based on a mail exchange with me - I believe he didn't understand the implications of releasing the image. He said that we could only use the image as it was on airliners.net - i.e. no modification. This breaks the deal per the above. I will arrange to have the image deleted. Checkout Wikipedia:Requesting_copyright_permission#For_images which gives a guideline about how to do this. Sorry about all this. I really am trying to help here. It may pass a A-class article review in milhist with dodgy images, but it'll get torn apart by the time it reaches FA-review. Regards.

I agree that it sounds stupid - but we must be able to re-distribute, modify and use commercially as a result of Wikipedia:Five pillars wikipedia as free content. Wikipedia only images could not be used by another project - for example http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Main_Page etc. Or any of our mirrors - for example answers.com. As a result we don't accept wikipedia only images that we couldn't use anyway under our WP:NFCC (i.e. without permission). This encourages people to create free images.
Where this is not possible - i.e. iconic images of historic events (Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima) and works of art that we are commenting on critically on we can use them in a limited way under WP:NFCC. I hope that explains things.

The problem is that when I asked him specifically about commercial use and modification he replied:
I am sorry, but nor once providing betray into e - mail I beg to differ!! If her there do you want have, so only in form, in what was assumed from Airliners.net handsome day and I'm sorry
He was using automatic translation software, so a lot may have been lost in translation, but I believe he was indicating that he didn't want the image to be modified and was applogizing for not allowing us to modify it.

Eurocopter, can you confirm that for the other images you have uploaded from airliners.net the authors gave permission inline with WP:COPYREQ#Declaration_of_consent_for_all_enquiries ? (i.e. allowing modification, commercial use, etc)
If you are sure that they have given their permission, then I would like to proceed with cropping the watermarks from the images.
If you are un-sure, could you seek clarification from the author(s). If they haven't given permission could you either tag them for speedy deletion {{db}} or change the tag to fair-use {{fairusein}} (which will probably result in their deletion).
Not to be dramatic but: As the uploader of the images the responsibility and potential consequences for the image's copyright status falls on you.

Salut! Am vazut ca te pricepi foarte bine la Armata Romana, si ai imbunatatit multe articole cu acest subiect. Problema in care as avea nevoie de ajutorul tau este cea a maistrilor militari, care sunt trecuti peste tot pe Wikipedia ca "Warrant officers". Maistri militari nu sunt warrant officers, ci doar "technical non-commissioned officers", deci insemnele lor de grad ar trebui trecute la "enlisted", la un loc cu sergentul major si plutonierii. Eu nu stiu cum sa schimb toate chestiile astea, asa ca te-as ruga pe tine, daca vrei, sa le schimbi.

Sure I can help ET. First, take a look at the Library of Congress country study- you'll find a link at the bottom of Military of the DRC, and the CWIHP documents I linked. Also take a look at www.orbat.com's history section for 1946-99; there's an outline OB there. Also you can talk to W.B. Wilson and ask him to send you the Romania section of Keegan's 'Armies of the World'. Once you've done digesting that, and this below (remember to cite it as 'Andy Johnson, Warsaw Pact Order of Battle etc') you can do some draft sections in a sandbox and I'll happily look at them.

WARSAW PACT ORDER OF BATTLE
JUNE - 1989, Andy Johnson, [email protected], Last update: 27 May 00
Extract** RUMANIAN PEOPLE'S ARMY (RVA)
(Available as reinforcement for the CGF or SGF)
Note: The RVA consists of very out of date equipment, and in the event of war, would be used on secondary objectives. No Divisional Helicopter Squadrons present. You really don't want to commit these forces to the WGF/CGF. Other Army assets may be available other than shown below - see TO&E #2. Rumania refuses to participate in any Warsaw Pact exercises and is the least enthusiastic of the Soviet Allies, not allowing Soviet or other Warsaw Pact troops from crossing its territory. Wartime could prove interesting.

Eurocopter tigre, Your article already explains the communist takeover of Romania and the Romanian Army in as much detail as Keegan does. He does mention the following about the Cold War years which might prove useful for you:
"The army was at its peak size in 1953-5; it was reduced in 1955-8 and again in the early 1960s. . . . Romania has pursued an increasingly independent line on foreign policy, particularly with regard to her relations with China and the West, since 1963. In 1964 Romania reduced the basic term of military service, probably against the wishes of the Warsaw Pact command. Romanian troops did not participate in the invasion of Czechoslovakia, and Ceausescu criticised not only the invasion itself but also the subsequent Brezhnev doctrine. . . . Political control of the army is achieved through the (Armed Forces) ministry's Central Political Office, whose officers are attached to all formations and units. Romania is divided into three military districts. . . . All Romanian forces are stationed within the borders of Romania, and there have been no Soviet troops permanently stationed in Romania since 1958. . . . There are about 450,000 regular army reservists who would be used to bring the army's field formations up to strength on mobilisation. The Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia gave impetus to the law of November 12th, 1968, which created the present People's Militia and territorial defence system. There is a wide liability for service in the People's Militia which is armed with a variety of weapons, most of them obsolescent, and carries out part-time training. (Text by Richard Holmes in 1979).
Other comments - the article's introduction mentions Romania fighting with the Nazis during World War II but does not mention the subsequent fighting against the Nazis which cost Romania almost half as many men again. The article later mentions the Romanian First and Second Armies going to fight the Germans; it was the First and Fourth Armies (check out my order of battle chart at Battle of Debrecen (Order of Battle for Second Ukrainian Front, October 1944)). Your article may also wish to note that Romanian forces played a key role in the capture of Debrecen in October 1944. Cheers, W. B.

I posted this at WT:AIR, and thought I'd make sure you got it, just in case you don't watch that page. You're a bit closer to the former Yugoslavia, so maybe you can help me clean up this page, if you're able and want to. THanks.
I recently discovered the Novi Avion page, and it needs a LOT of help. It lists two vague sources, and none are cited in the article. It doesn't specify who the manufacturer was, so I'm not able to find it in any of my printed sources. Then there's the fanboy IP who keeps adding stuff like (had not Yugoslavia being broken up and socialism having not collapsed two years earlier, and since not only would it have served Yugoslavia's airspace well. I could use some help from someone who is either more familar with the plane, or who has access to other material, perhaps even from non-English sources.

Hi, the anon I reverted (80.253.144.238) was an open proxy, obviously banned User:Bonaparte (who's been making such attacks against Anonimou for a while). So, you might want to avoid allying yourself too much with him. By the way, please also avoid personal attacks such as calling another editor's good-faith attempts at NPOV'ing an article "communist vandalism" ([2]). I don't know what your opinion is about this, but for somebody to want to avoid the term "liberation" for an attack made during WWII by an ally of the Germans against the Soviet Union, preferring the neutral term "recapture" instead, is certainly not something I'd dismiss out-of-hand as illegitimate.

While I was writing the above, you also continued your revert war. I first thought you'd actually violated 3RR and was going to block you, but it turns out the first of your reverts was a few days ago, so you get off with just a warning for now.

Hmm, feel free to "report" me - where? what for exactly? Sorry for the mistaken block, but as I said, you are actually lucky, I could have legitimately blocked you anyway. Plus, I now find you called A's edits "communist vandalism" not just once but you have a longstanding habit of doing this. This makes it a persistent pattern of personal attacks and harassment, which is blockable all in itself. So, if you are truly concerned about keeping your block log clean from "abusive" blocks, be careful you don't get it soiled with justified ones instead, sooner than you might think. To make this clear: one more attack against A. and you're out, and a good deal longer than for 24h. And next time you're in an editing dispute with the guy, you'd better show some constructive consensus-oriented talk page activity.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).
The first revert for which I was blocked for, was made on 15 August, 13:18; second revert on 16 August, 12:18; third on 16 August, 19:50; fourth on 16 August, 19:58. So, that means four reverts in more than 30 hours. Where did I violate the 3RR?
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I'm pretty sure that the 4th edit wasn't a revert. I changed a bit the modifications made by User:K.

Read the policy: An editor must not perform more than three reverts, in whole or in part. You have switched "recapture" with "liberation," which was the key word with respect to the prior reverts and which I, thus, am counting as one, as well.

Please don't try to game 3RR -- the ultimate goal of the policy is to prevent edit warring, not to provide an entitlement; if you check the policy:
"The rule does not convey an entitlement to revert three times each day, nor does it endorse reverting as an editing technique; rather, the rule is an "electric fence". Editors may still be blocked even if they have not made more than three reverts in any given 24 hour period, if their behavior is clearly disruptive. This particularly applies to editors who persistently make three reverts each day, or three reverts on each of a group of pages, in an apparent effort to game the system."
Given a (released) block just a few days ago on similar grounds, it doesn't seem this message is sinking in. Leaving this request up for a fourth opinion. – Luna Santin (talk)11:25, 17 August 2007 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-08-17T11:25:00.000Z","author":"Luna Santin","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Luna_Santin-2007-08-17T11:25:00.000Z-Eurocopter_tigre-2007-08-17T11:06:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->
Note that in the fourth "revert" I changed regaining with liberation, not recapture with liberation. Also, for Luna, you can't say I'm an disruptive editor as long as almost the entire article is written by me, and the history sections are based on Wikipedian Romanian history articles. Just check out User:Anonimu's history and you shall see he is always introducing false informations which reflect his own political views - that's why he is often in conflicts on many talk pages and involved in edit warrings with other Romanian users. Again, as I edited almost the entire article, it's very hard for me to leave a user such as Anonimu to screw up my work - and I'm still the one blocked for this. --Eurocopter tigre12:42, 17 August 2007 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-08-17T12:42:00.000Z","author":"Eurocopter tigre","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Eurocopter_tigre-2007-08-17T12:42:00.000Z-3rr_block","replies":["c-El_C-2007-08-17T12:46:00.000Z-Eurocopter_tigre-2007-08-17T12:42:00.000Z"]}}-->

I restored liberation because it is a true historical fact and it fitted better in the sentence. However, I'm still shocked that my behaviour can be categorized as "disruptive". I really think that admins have the most disruptive behaviour, when they are blocking, for restoring a single word, effective users which would be able to improve lots of things within 24 hours - that's truely disruptive for Wikipedia. --Eurocopter tigre13:07, 17 August 2007 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-08-17T13:07:00.000Z","author":"Eurocopter tigre","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Eurocopter_tigre-2007-08-17T13:07:00.000Z-3rr_block","replies":["c-El_C-2007-08-17T13:18:00.000Z-Eurocopter_tigre-2007-08-17T13:07:00.000Z"]}}-->

I know you can't respond off this page right now, but I wanted to let you know that an admin, user:Maury Markowitz, has merged the pages per [this diff].

{{uw-delete}} is for removing article content. Perhaps you meant to use {{uw-tpv}}. Either way, a simple question about why the content was removed or a note about why you want non-English conversations on your talk page would have made your point much clearer than a template. For instance, the template directs the recipient to the sandbox. Do you earnestly believe he was making a test edit?

No, I don't believe he was doing a test edit. Ok, I'll note that, but I wanted to make sure that he realises that he mustn't delete comments on my personal talk page.

It's not your personal page, it's part of the English Wikipedia. Don't use it for non-English communication, please. I suggest e-mail as an alternative. It's inappropriate to converse on this page in languages which most other users can't understand.

Pardon the butting in. Eurocopter, I agree that you shouldn't put a warning template on El C's page. I also think that El C shouldn't generally revert messages people leave you. No idea what this particular message said. If it were trolling or a personal attack I can see why he removed it, otherwise I don't know why he would revert it.

If somebody doesn't speak english very good, why can't he leave messages for me in my native language? I think it's better speaking in the native language, rather than embarassing yourself with a bad english, especially if the other user speaks the same language at a native level. I don't mind if somebody leaves messages on my talk page in any languages mentioned on my Babel (see my user page) - I think slovenian isn't mentioned. --Eurocopter tigre17:40, 22 August 2007 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-08-22T17:40:00.000Z","author":"Eurocopter tigre","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Eurocopter_tigre-2007-08-22T17:40:00.000Z-Urgent_request","replies":["c-Friday-2007-08-22T17:43:00.000Z-Eurocopter_tigre-2007-08-22T17:40:00.000Z"]}}-->
Seems reasonable to me. You're probably better off explaining this to El C than leaving him some standard template. Wikipedia:Don't template the regulars is an essay, yes, but it makes some good points. It can come off as rude to leave some standard warning message as you did.

(ec) That's acceptable. Keep in mind that it is generally preferable for you or someone else to provide translations to non-English discussions on your talk page, so that others may read the comments.

Also, as long as we're talking etiquette, you should not change the signed comments of other editors.

Comments removal from my talk page is also considered rude by me. I have many better things to do on wiki, rather than translating comments, seriously. Anyway, this was an exception, how many comments in foreign languages can you find on my talk page? --Eurocopter tigre17:48, 22 August 2007 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-08-22T17:48:00.000Z","author":"Eurocopter tigre","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Eurocopter_tigre-2007-08-22T17:48:00.000Z-Urgent_request","replies":["c-Leebo-2007-08-22T17:56:00.000Z-Eurocopter_tigre-2007-08-22T17:48:00.000Z"]}}-->

You do not own your talk page and do not get to keep comments from banned users. Charging vandalism is an enormous assumption of bad faith on your part. Ask, or even assume I know what I'm doing, before jumping to the conclusion that it's malice. Assuming good faith is policy here.

How could I knew that he was a banned user? I'm always trying to assume good faith - that's why I put he's comments back.

Please review my edits of the number of Typhoons in the Italian Air Force. I've fixed it three times now, included a reference, and yet some anonymous person keeps breaking it.
