Hello '''{{BASEPAGENAME}}''' and welcome to the [[WP:MILHIST|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.


Hey, just a heads up on the Rater, it seems to be defaulting everyone to living=no on any assessments being done. See [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Evad37/rater.js#Stop_killing_people]. Make sure on the assessments you're doing currently you hit that tab (I learned that the hard way yesterday I don't know what broke on Rater).

Hello, since you were recently accused of being my sock for sharing the same opinion in AFDs (which isn’t always true), I noticed some comments from Libraa2019 that seemed a bit bullying to me. I hope this doesn’t discourage you from sharing your thoughts in AFDs - where I join in too—without any fear.

Nominations for the upcoming project coordinator election have opened. A team of up to ten coordinators will be elected for the next coordination year. 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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Academy/Becoming a coordinator|here]]. If you are interested in running, please sign up '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Coordinators/September 2024|here]]''' by 23:59 UTC on 14 September! Voting will commence on 15 September. If you have any questions, you can contact any member of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Coordinators|current coord team]].

Hi Wikibear47. After reviewing your request, I have <span class="plainlinks">[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3AWikibear47 enabled]</span> rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

*Rollback should be used to revert ''clear and unambiguous cases'' of vandalism <ins>only</ins>. ''Never'' use rollback to revert good faith edits.
*Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the rights will be revoked.
*Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, '''''ask!'''''
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see [[Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback]] (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my [[User talk:Elli|talk page]] if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback.

Rollback granted

[edit]

Hi Wikibear47. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

  • Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or Ultraviolet. It just adds a [Rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision - that's all. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the rights will be revoked.
  • Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Elli (talk | contribs) 20:31, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
