I presume you're new here but Wikipedia isn't a suitable source as a reference or citation as you did on British Empire. The encyclopedia doesn't reference itself. Regards. Justin talk 19:36, 27 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

YEp, true I am new to that part of Wikipedia, but was asked by a friend to help find a suitable link-in location to the Orphaned article on the 'Anglo-Ottoman Treaty'. I didn't want to disrupt the flow of the article, but the treaty is a case in point of the 19th British treaty policy of creating asymmetrical trade treaties that would lead to the eventual de-facto rule. I would be grateful for any indications on how to include this treaty in a more acceptable way. --BirgittaHo (talk) 19:45, 27 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

My ISP connection is playing up at the moment so I'm going to take a short break. I'd suggest either a new section or add it as a "See Also". Justin talk 20:03, 27 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

The removal of your edit has me wondering. Assuming it is a useful reference (looks to me like it could be), I have asked the editor that removed your footnote for further information about how best to do this. My comment to him is here. Welcome to Wikipedia! --KenWalker | Talk 20:20, 27 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

As I noted Ken had added a comment here, I thought I'd repeat my answer. Its quite simple, if you wish to refer to another wiki article, the correct procedure is to add a wikilink. The relevant policy as to why you don't reference wikipedia itself is WP:RS, i.e. all Articles should rely on reliable, third-party published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Articles should rely on sources external to Wikipedia. Justin talk 21:08, 27 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I would really appreciate it if you would look over this article. As of a few days ago, I think it was a trainwreck - tangential material, lots of repetition, no contextualization. I did a major overhaul of it (but my approach was relatively conservative: I deleted fringe material and redundancies, and reorganized what was left according to distinctive points of view or approaches). It still needs work (I describe all this in greater detail on the talk page). One thing I did was provide a very abbreviated summary of how cultural anthropologists talk about culture. One thing that is sorely lacking is a section on material culture and archeology. Off the top of my head I think that something should be said about the first appearance of tools in hominan history, how archeologists study material culture (explaining words like matrix and assemblage), theories of material culture and the relationship between material culture and social organization/social life etc. Right now I am trying to focus on the core concepts/ways of conceptualizing/frameworks for study. But I do not have the knowledge of archeology to do this. So I am hoping that you can help out ... thanks Slrubenstein | Talk 19:39, 21 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Greetings,

"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. 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.

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

• tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
• adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
• updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
• creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

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 doesn't commence until 15 September. If you have any questions, you can contact any member of the coord team. Cheers, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:53, 1 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
