  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (  or  ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 07:21, 15 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Why can't I edit some particular pages?
Some pages that have been vandalized repeatedly are semi-protected, meaning that editing by new or unregistered users is prohibited through technical measures. If you have an account that is four days old and has made at least 10 edits, then you can bypass semi-protection and edit any semi-protected page. Some pages, such as highly visible templates, are fully-protected, meaning that only administrators can edit them. If this is not the case, you may have been blocked or your IP address caught up in a range block.
Where can I experiment with editing Wikipedia?
How do I create an article?
See how to create your first article, then use the Article Wizard to create one, and add references to the article as explained below.
How do I create citations?
  1. Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
  2. Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
  3. In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
  4. Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
  5. Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like <ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing).
  6. In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
  7. If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:
==References==
{{Reflist}}
What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one?
A WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Wikipedia. (See this page for a complete list of WikiProjects.) If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.

Vandalism and POV Pushing

edit

perhaps you don't know what vandalism is that's why you are getting so many warnings and blocks for your activities here. Also I am not posting any "general view". I neither contribute much to this article Astra (weapon) nor have I added anything in this particular section. Fact of the matter is that you jumped in from somewhere and deleted some text from the article and replaced with your own version riding on some clearly biased, POV, and above all not notable, non reliable sources. that's where I had to intervene.. I Request you to kindly not rant like an emotional fool on my talk page and try to understand what exactly happened because I never added any personal or general view at first and only reverted your acts when you replaced certain text with fake sources.. that's it..Adamstraw99 (talk) 21:28, 10 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Template:New discussion

edit

The Template:New discussion is not a page to start a discussion. It is a template that is used on about 200 talk pages to help editors. If you want to start a discussion then go to the talk page of the article and post there. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 09:49, 24 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Battle of Krasnoi

edit

Hi Ankisur2:

I noticed that you changed the result of Krasnoi, eliminating the "Russian Victory" summary and referring the reader to the "summary of results" part of the article. I believe that your edit is inappropriate and incorrect. Please contact me so that we can discuss this matter in detail.

I wrote the original Krasnoi article, which was based on having read a wide range of history books on the 1812 war. There can be no doubt that Krasnoi was a Russian victory, and nothing less. Check the sources I've provided. The bottom line is that Napoleon lost over 10,000 killed and wounded, in addition to losing another 20,000 troops as prisoner to the Russians. Additionally, Napoleon was compelled to abandon 200 cannon and most of his army's baggage train. By any measure, that is a total and unmitigated disaster.

The consequence of the Battle of Krasnoi is that Napoleon's army was so severely mauled that he was forced to abandon his strategic goal of wintering in Minsk. After Krasnoi, Napoleon gave up all remaining hope of winning the war in Russia.

It's really silly to deny that the battle is a Russian victory. Just check the latest historiography on the subject, especially the works of Dominic Lieven, Richard K. Riehn, and Digby Smith.

I'd be happy to discuss this subject with you if you contact me.
