Forces of central subordination

I don't mind helping you out with this, but I should admit that the military terminology is not something I am very comfortable translating (I am capable of translating it, but I can't guarantee the quality of the output). However, I could supply the links to the articles about the populated places, if that helps you any. I wish I could help with the airports as well, but I don't really have anything to look them up properly, so it's going to be hit-or-miss there. Let me know what you want me to do.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 17:21, June 22, 2009 (UTC)

I've translated the portion you requested, but I want to once more re-emphasize that I wasn't very comfortable with the quality of my translation—it felt as if I was guessing, rather than knowledgeably translating, way too often. I hope the translation helps you get the idea of what all those facilities are, so you could then copy-edit it to conform with the established English military terminology. Let me know if there is anything else I can do. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 19:25, June 24, 2009 (UTC)

3rd Guards MRD

edit

Happy new year to you too (and I wish I could continue my holidays till January 14...)! I'll take a look at this some time later this week, if you don't mind. Are you working with the verbatim ru-wiki version, or is your version a mix? Just want to clarify how much fixing I should be doing :) Best,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 16:38, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about the delay; truth be told, I forgot :( Anyway, it's done now, although I would recommend you proofread it one more time and copyedit as necessary. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 16:18, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

No worries

edit

Happy new year! I have the resources to do something useful, I'm glad someone took notice of my work! yeah sure i will try and follow the guidelines, i'll see how i go? Buckshot06 are you upset the fact that New Zealand scrapped the combat types of your airforce? take it easy ;(User talk:Lovetravel86); 16:38, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

Marinovka

edit

Nope, it's just one of the countless villages in Volgograd Oblast; there really is nothing special about it. I've created a Marinovka set index for navigation; let me know if you want a (very) basic stub on the Volgograd Oblast village as well. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); June 7, 2010; 13:57 (UTC)

Soviet Air Defense Forces

edit

Sorry, I'm afraid you misunderstood. I don't have most of the books they have. I have a very large library of books on the administrative divisions, with which their collection of ATD books has a great deal of overlap, but I don't have books on any other subjects they have. Of the books I own, none are on the subject of the SADF.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); June 25, 2010; 13:16 (UTC)

WP:RUS

edit

We don't have approved spellings, we have romanization guidelines :) For each individual person from your list, you should be using the spelling which is the most common in the English-language sources you are going to use. If you only have Russian sources, then use the WP:RUS default romanization—Arkady Bakhin, Alexander Galkin, Konstantin Sidenko, Vladimir Chirkin. If the English-language sources use different spellings inconsistently, then pick one that's closest to the WP:RUS default variant. Does it help?

Military districts of Russia

edit

Just wanted to give you a heads-up (in case you missed it) that the military districts of Russia have been re-organized on September 20 (with the effective date of December 1). If there's anything I can help with, please don't hesitate to let me know. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); September 23, 2010; 13:24 (UTC)

I am not much interested in translation work; sorry! Too much on my plate as it is. I could help with the specifics of the changes, but it seems you are ahead of me there. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); September 23, 2010; 21:15 (UTC)

Dmitriyevka

edit

Sure, will do. There are, however, five rural localities called "Dmitriyevka" in Orenburg Oblast, so if you have anything to add, it might help. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); August 15, 2011; 16:45 (UTC)

No problem; I haven't even started looking when I asked the question :) I've greatly expanded the Dmitriyevka set index. The Dmitriyevka you need is Dmitriyevka, Sakmarsky District, Orenburg Oblast. Will this work for you, or do you need me to create that stub as well? Thanks.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); August 16, 2011; 16:46 (UTC)
Hmm, this is getting a little confusing :) What is the airfield called exactly, do you know? Dmitriyevka is located in Sakmarsky District, but the settlement of Chebenki is in neighboring Orenburgsky District. The airfield is located at some distance from them both, although it is closer to Dmitiryevka than it is to the settlement of Chebenki (and it is in Sakmarsky District). I'll move the air base article to Chebenki (air base) and put a dab page at Chebenki, but let me know if there's anything else I can help with. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); August 16, 2011; 17:11 (UTC)
Ah, I've never seen that statement. It helps clarify the overall state of things quite a bit; thanks. Don't hesitate to let me know if you think of anything else I can help with. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); August 16, 2011; 17:19 (UTC)

Negative evaluation

the MISLS participated in the battle of Okinawa. Some nisei soldier used violence to torture Okinawan civilians. Thereafter these civilians were handed over to a U.S. Lieutenant. Some civilians were shot. It happened in June 24, 1945. [1] during the occupation of Japan, some Nisei soldiers abusing prisoners and even civilians.[2] A Japan Journalist think nisei are the worst kind of G.I.s. [3]

during the occupation of Japan, through the formation of such organizations as the Civil Censorship Detachment (CCD), MIS linguists played an important role in News blackout. Between 1945 and 1949, the CCD nisei soldiers was responsible for reviewing all Japanese publications. [4][5] The CCD eventually banned a total of 31 topics from all forms of media.journalists were banned from reporting the G.I.s Crime.

How much is too much (etc.)

edit

First, I agree with your Notes/References breakout on the 23d Fighter Group article. Since I've added notes to a number of USAF unit articles, I'll revisit them to make similar changes where appropriate. Second, I have linked headquarters and subordinate unit external links in a number of unit articles. Since you have been Wiki'ing much longer than I, about how many such links would you consider to be not in line with the MOS? I have added them to a number of articles (but not as many as the 23d) but I'd rather not do a mass removal that is unnecessary.

56th (London) Infantry Division

edit

"(Buckshot06 moved page 56th (London) Infantry Division to 56th (London) Division: No evidence this was called 'Infantry') (undo)"

I do not know about the First World War, however Lt-Col Joslen (p.92) supports that they were called an 'infantry' division during the Second World War after being designated from 1st London Division.

There is however the case of the 23rd (Northumbrian) Division, he specifically does not include the word infantry in there title.
I do have a copy of the book, however the division is outside the scope of anything else I have. I am a desert and Western Front man, not an Italian campaign person. I think until there is additional evidence, the status quo is fine.
Not much. I edit on a sporadic basis at the moment. I am in the final months of university so that has the majority of my attention. I don't know if I will edit like I use to, although if I did it would probably be on some Normandy related articles.

Happy New Year

edit

Hi Buckshot06,

W. B. Wilson here, browsing from Poland at the moment.

Happy New Year and I hope the Christmas was a good one.  ? re: Soviet armies articles -- is there any particular format -- might not be bad form to use one, perhaps a format in an existing article about a Soviet army. At any rate, I expect to have more time on my hands in a couple of months or so.

Cheers again,

W. B. Wilson

Hi Buckshot,

While looking over Almaza Air Base, i've found a link to a Biggles Wiki for Almaza Airport (and nearby airfields) link here. Now i know what i can't use the actual website as a reference but the pictures and maps seems to be good quality for finding locations particularly for WW2 airfields in Egypt with 1953 & 58 maps created by U.S. Army Map Services as well a image apparently taken in the 1930s. Along with a map showing the Airfield at Aboukir here. Since i've never uploaded an image to Wikipedia or Commons before, is it possible to add the image and the image of the map to Wikipedia to show the location on the article? I have no idea about licensing/copyright to i thought it would be best to ask you. Gavbadger (talk) 20:30, 28 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
