Welcome to Milhist!
editHi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.
A few features that you might find helpful:
- Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
- The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPMILHIST Announcements}} there.
- Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
- The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, writing contests, article logistics, and other tasks.
- We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
- We've developed a style guide that covers article structure and content, template use, categorization, and many other issues of interest.
- If you're looking for something to work on, there are many articles that need attention, as well as a number of review alerts and copy-editing alerts.
- The project has a stress hotline available for your use.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! --ROGER DAVIES talk 00:37, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
I edited your quote to incorporate the citation style used in the article as the way you had previously entered it was causing an error. I also added period context and wikilinking as needed. I personally see the quote as containing strong elements of POV, given Ross was president of the Canadian Legion when he made his comments but it's not the end of the world.

Award
editThanks for adding the medal to my user page. While I took it as a complement, I removed it for two reasons: a) usually one doesn't put things on other user's talk pages, and b) I don't qualify. Thanks for your constructive edits to the Vimy article. If you wish to recognize another editor's contributions in some way, you can always add a barnstar to their talk page. Hope you enjoy editing here. Sunray (talk) 20:04, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
