Military reserve forces and strength etc

edit

I see that User:Antiochus the Great has already been on to you about this one. Yeah, if you're interested in working on this area, we can try and get some good sources for you. Please, use globalsecurity.org if you would like an immediately available source, but they're not really very good either - their article here got deleted. Otherwise, yes, please stick with the IISS. However, CIA World Fact Book does do military branches. Kind regards Buckshot06 (talk) 08:38, 2 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Rolling Back Edits

edit

Hi there.

I saw that you requested Rollback at WP:PERM and unfortunately you were declined. You say that when you come across vandalism you tend to edit it out? There are several ways to revert vandalism much faster than what you are doing now. You can detect vandalism faster if you have the Lupin's Anti-vandal_tool. You can also use Twinkle to revert edits. Twinkle has the same rollback function as the rollback right you requested earlier this week. In my opinion, Twinkle is the most useful. You can also try manually undoing other's edits. Hope this helps you with fighting vandalism! --AkifumiiTalk 16:14, 3 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Evergreen Marine, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Luzhu. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

  Hello, I'm NeilN. I noticed that you made a change to an article, G8, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. NeilN talk to me 20:42, 20 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

The article says suspended. Your source says suspended. You can't change that terminology without sources explicitly saying "expelled". --NeilN talk to me 21:02, 20 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
