Quintote

Welcome!

Hello, Quintote, and welcome to Wikipedia! I am CTSWyneken. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk or ask me on my talk page.
• Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
• Provide an Edit summary
• Take a look at Consensus of standards. It is always wise to read the talk page of an existing article before making major changes on it. Even then, I typically ask if anyone minds that I make a change. Very often they do! ;-)
• Create a User page

Again, welcome! And if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. ----CTSWyneken 15:42, 15 June 2006 (UTC)^(talk)

Re: Reeves, Louisiana

It should be noted that your quick to delete without thinking revert of the entry for Reeves,_Louisiana comes from the nationally syndicated talk show Coast to Coast AM which sited the link that was used as the source for entry onto the Reeves page. Sadly, you quickly deleted it without much thought even though documented and mentioned on a nationally syndicated program. I guess you know better than the 1M listeners to that radio show. This isn't Quintoteipedia. This is Wikipedia not your own personal domain.

Ironically, if you rearrange the name of the town, "Reeves, Louisiana," into an anagram, you get the phrase, "Arise Evil One! USA!" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.59.214.171 (talk) 00:58, 1 January 2008

Calling an anagram "ironic" is unlikely to be worthy of introduction in an encyclopedia. Furthermore, the link you provided requires a login, which I can't even verify the content.

For what it's worth, maybe even ironically, I'm a fan of anagrams.

Happy New Year! --Quintote (talk) 06:09, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: Maine East High School

Just letting you know, I reverted your edit on Maine East High School because it accidentally restored a line of vandalism from an earlier edit. I used VandalProof to do it, but I know your edit wasn't vandalism. :) --Coredesat talk. o_O 01:28, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

CSD fun with images from http://visualsonline.cancer.gov/

I've moved Image:Scintillation counter.jpg to Image:Quintote_colony_counter.jpg (per someone's CSD notice), but I'd still like clarification about which cancer.gov page it came from, because I can't find it there. When uploading images, don't just give the internet domain, give the full URL. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:32, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for making sure this image didn't get thrown out, Mgm. As I indicated on your talk page, I've clarified the URLs for this image and the others I got from http://visualsonline.cancer.gov/ and will work on making sure I'm as clear as possible on image source and licensing. I also hope that whomever flags items CSD with great abandon can work to keep the contributors better in the loop. I'd accurately specified the license for this image, and the others like it, as qualifying for public domain status as a work of the US Government. Again, I'll be sure to provide exact URLs to source and will try to continue to list out the explicit public domain status whenever I can as well. - Quintote 02:14, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Update: Ah, I see the issue. The image is called a scintillation counter on http://visualsonline.cancer.gov/, but Deglr6328 believes this is not a scintillation counter. I....don't know what it is :-) so will defer to the experts. Now I think I understand the issue, though I'll still try to be as clear as possible with future images. Thanks again for the heads-up. - Quintote 02:31, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't like this chump.

neither do I --69.233.37.32 02:44, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

I do prefer that people like me. However, I also prefer that people not vandalize Wikipedia, as both of you did to retention factor. I neither know nor dislike either of you (if there are indeed two separate people behind these two IP addresses), but I do wish you'd use your energy to constructively edit Wikipedia. -Quintote 02:53, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Quintote you are a true chumpette. -- 69.105.72.47 05:03, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Scintillation counter image

Sorry that Image:Quintote_colony_counter.jpg apparently wasn't what it said it was. I retrieved this image from http://visualsonline.cancer.gov along with the captions indicating that this was a scintillation counter. Here's a link to the same, which I hadn't provided in the original upload of the image: http://visualsonline.cancer.gov/details.cfm?imageid=2044

The site's well organized and the captions coherent, so I thought I made a good call assuming it was it said it was. Sorry about that, and thanks for the catch. My goal is to help Wikipedia to be as rich and complete as possible, and I certainly intended to improve, not compromise, the article.

not your fault! I am frequently shocked at the lax accuracy in the descriptions of PD images on gov sites. Just looking at the device though you can see it is some kind of overhead projector like thing which has a petri dish being projected onto the screen. a search for "artek counter" + colonies [1] reveals its actual use. It looks like the company went out of buisness ages ago..... anyway I do have one request. could you include the date that the image was taken in the descriptions? some of the techniqes depicted in those images are horribly out of date. also why not upload the big 300dpi image versions? wiki has the space!--Deglr6328 03:43, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

• I've taken another look at the description page of Image:Quintote_colony_counter.jpg. You did everything right (specific URL, and even a site specific licensing info instead of the implicit gov PD). Thanks! - Mgm|^(talk) 08:12, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Usage of picture

Hello! I i'm asking if you're willing to license this image under cc-by-sa, so that it can be used on this article on Wikitravel. Please respond either here or mail me on andreas.bergstrom@gmail.com. --Andreas

Thanks, I'm happy I can contribute! This was one of my earliest Wikipedia image contributions, and I was a little stingy on the image resolution the first time, so I've upped it as much as the image seems to support. (In case if you're wondering why I didn't just upload the original, the camera's white balance didn't seem to correct enough, and because the image was taken using available light, the full-res 7 megapixel version was a bit grainy.) I also bothered to upload it a third time since I noticed using Photoshop's "Save for Web" option dropped out the Exif details. If you care, the photo time of 03:18 reflects my home time zone of GMT-06. -Quintote 11:07, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Please be careful with the tool and remember to look at the page history before reverting anything - your recent revert to Hurricane Rita reverted to a version containing vandalism. – Chacor 15:21, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Oops, thanks for the catch. I'll watch that more closely. -Quintote 15:26, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: Counter-Strike

I made a revision to the Counter-Strike page in reguards to hacking/cheating. I'd like to clarify that it was in no way an attempt at vandalism. The information I added was accurate. A quick google search will verify that the clan "myg0t" is in fact one of the most notorious cheating/hacking clans in all of first person gaming. The information I added would have only informed more people of myg0t and explained the actions of their members further. If it was truly inappropriate I apologize, but I do not feel it was vandalism.66.228.252.142 02:12, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the follow-up. I updated my comment on your talk page. I think that mentioning myg0t around here is a hot-button thing that is likely to get reverted, but I believe you that you didn't intend to vandalize. -Quintote 03:04, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

IP Vandal

The ip vandal whom you issued the last warning has acted again [2]. May-be time to get to blocks now?--Constanz - Talk 08:05, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm not an admin, though I could've reported it to WP:AIV had I been on. The next time you see something like this, the best thing to do is report it directly to WP:AIV. At this point I've seen several good edits coming from this IP address, which could mean the user had a change of heart, or a different person is now editing under that IP address. A block at this point would be counterproductive, unfortunately. -Quintote 19:11, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

re Aussie vandal

An admin told me - "I can't block him. It's coming from a shared IP address. Those can only be blocked for short periods to stop a vandalism in active progress. Sorry. " - Kittybrewster 09:01, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Putin

That Putin has been implicated in poisoning his critics is "nonsense"? Do you even read the news? Do you think Yushchenko and Litvinenko just fell ill?

Question: Why is it that Putin's enemies keep getting poisoned, but no mention of that appears in the article? Do you consider it not worthy of an encyclopedia, but examples of his "humor" are? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.252.113.75 (talk) 20:23, 24 November 2006

I reverted your edits because including the category at this time is nonsensical. I have no dispute whatsoever with your assertion that Alexander Litvinenko was poisoned, and were I the betting sort, would place money that Putin was behind it. However, Wikipedia articles are not a place for conjecture. Instead, they are a place where verifiable facts are collected, organized and disseminated.

I truly appreciate your passion, especially your desire to provide a complete view of Putin. I only rejected your edit based on its inability to be determined factual. I welcome you to discuss this further on this article's Talk page, or by including this in the article framed up with text indicating it's a current event and providing links to articles that allege Putin's involvement.

Your bot didn't fully correct vandalism to strudel

Hello. Your bot did not remove all the vandalism to the strudel article. It removed the most recent vandalism, but since it had been vandalized several times and not corrected, your bot kept some of the vandalism. I have manually corrected. Carmela Soprano 21:34, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Thrivent-logo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Thrivent-logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Your message

My addition was not vandalism. George Bush is a c--t so I was writing about fact. I even have many sources agreeing with the fact that he's a c--t. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.230.129.22 (talk) 15:40, 4 March 2007 (UTC).

Umm, okay. Here are some tips to see to it that I don't mistake your future edits with vandalism:

• Avoid profanity
• Provide verifiable source for facts.
• Add facts to appropriate article. In this case, the George W. Bush military service controversy article isn't the on-topic place for your information.
• Stating an opinion is not a fact. It may be a fact that someone notable or suitably qualified has this opinion, or has commented on others having this opinion.

There we go. I think that's all the constructive comments I can make on this. Seriously, please don't vandalize Wikipedia, but feel welcome to add appropriate content. -Quintote 15:54, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Your revert to Fly system

Although badly worded, 76.214.161.231's edit to 76.214.161.231 was not vandalism. What they are trying to say is that some flymen will prefer to have uneven weight on there flying rigs that will allow them to fly battens (or pipes) in or out faster. Cheers. Leaderofearth 09:27, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Reply on your user page. Summary: I flagged the change as "unhelpful", not as vandalism per se. In hindsight, however, I wish I'd tagged the section for cleanup instead of simply reverting the change. My goal is helping Wikipedia be as great as it can be, and that comes with a balance of quality and quantity. I see, too, that I may have discouraged someone from contributing further, which certainly wasn't my intent. I've incorporated the user's content, cleaned up. -Quintote 00:09, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

No worries. I have reverted a few things that I shouldn't have as well. Easy to do, I can see how it would look like vandelism to someone who is not familiar with the subject.

BTW keep up the good work to keep Wikipedia free of vandalism. Leaderofearth 03:10, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I believe this is in reference to a vandalism warning I posted to this IP address back in November... Hmmm. This changes nothing about what I would have done, though I've now added the {{SharedIPEDU}} template to this page so that others posting warnings are aware this IP address belongs to an educational institution. --Quintote 17:34, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

POV at Rogue wave (oceanography)

Just to clarify, the point of the words "which had problems in and of itself" was that there are some problems of factual accuracy with the way the bombing was presented in the film, as is noted in The Poseidon Adventure (2005 film) and on its imdb page. It's not really important to rogue waves though, and I'm fine with your removal of it. Phaunt (talk) 16:10, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

I spend my day in the world, and relax in front of Wikipedia instead of watching TV. I think it would sound too preachy to suggest you do something more constructive than vandalize a public reference tool, so I won't say that.  ;-) --Quintote (talk) 01:39, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Bromine, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Quintote (talk) 03:16, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Eric Theodore Andres

A tag has been placed on Eric Theodore Andres requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Soulseek has many users, and I don't think it is possible or makes sense to provide links to all users. Links to some users with no consideration of notability doesn't make sense either. Finally, I don't feel that including your link falls within the style guidline of Wikipedia:External links. --Quintote (talk) 19:37, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm not too concerned with the changes you've made. I'll remove the spam warning from your user page so other editors don't see that, because I believe you didn't intend something bad. However, expect to find many other people who don't think your link should be there, and expect them to be a lot less polite than I am.  :-) Actually, it's sad that people can be rude about this sort of thing, but it's a fact. Especially since you now have a user account, I'm unlikely to notice your edits; I focus primarily on IP-based vandalism. Cheers, --Quintote (talk) 20:02, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry if I shagged up anything, the link (within Ümlaut) was dead and had been for quite a while, and I assumed that dead links were just considered clutter.

I'm still pretty new to editing, and when I get the time i'll make an actual account and get to know the process better.

Hey, no problem at all. I'd reverted your change because it removed some templates and categories at the bottom of the article. I've since gone back and removed the dead link, which is what you meant to do. Just watch for those extra codes in the future to make sure you mean to delete them (or not). Here's to many more contributions. :-) --Quintote (talk) 21:02, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

IP spoofing?

Well, you being a software engineer, you will understand how they do it better than i do. But I can only assume someone did the vandalism using my IP address. I have not edited anything without being logged in under my username, for a long time.

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia.

Retrieved from "http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/User_talk:69.55.144.192"

Looking at your IP address, you appear to be on dial-up, probably via a dynamically-assigned IP address. These typically get re-used and cycled through. So, I wouldn't worry about what you see from a given IP address. If you see vandalism occurring with your user ID, that's a problem and probably means somehow your account was compromised. I would hope that no one would mistake changes made from a particular dynamically-assigned IP address with changes made by a logged-in user.

I hope that helps. Don't hesitate to contact me again if you have any more questions. --Quintote (talk) 00:53, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism - Help needed!!!

Hi, I've seen you've reverted a couple of bits of linkspam vandalism (on Adultery etc) which were done by 70.59.228.117. They have been extremely active again on a number of related sites. I've had to undo a stack of previous edits thay have done on 5 or 6 sites and it's becoming a bit tedious! Could you block the IP address? Thanks! --hydeblake (talk) 20:46, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

While I do fight vandalism, I'm not an admin, so I'd defer to them to provide this for you. The WP:Vandalism page has some great information to familiarize you with how vandalism (including linkspam) is dealt with on Wikipedia, but I can tell you that while an admin might block (on WP:AIV) with a lower threshold, they're more likely to act if you demonstrate that vandalism continues to occur after all levels of admonishment are exhausted.

In the case of linkspamming, there are warning templates uw-spamx, where x is a number from 1-4, to be issued in increasing order. You need to have a user exhibiting the behavior even after level 4 warnings are issued, and really post-dated warnings don't serve the intent, which is to make sure the user is aware of the consequences before proceeding to the next level. The user had been warned up through level 2 before you contacted me. I've warned them at level 3 for the latest place you caught them. I suggest you use the level 4 warning the next time they act, and after that WP:AIV will be likely to act. Here's an example of how the level 4 template would look when you typed it in: {{subst:uw-spam4|Adultery}} ~~~~

It may seem like a slow process, but blocking is really a last resort. Thanks for working to improve Wikipedia, and keep patient! --Quintote (talk) 21:18, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Complaint about vandal fighting

That edit to bullshit was for good reason. Wow music is not gibberish. But how can you like classical and rap at the same time? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.46.52 (talk) 22:38, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

For the convenience of anyone interested, here's a link to the edit in question. --Quintote (talk) 12:32, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hi, 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, article improvement contests, 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.
• 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! Kirill 03:11, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Ted Drewes Photo

Great work on the Ted Drewes night photo. It greatly adds to the quality of the article, particularly in illuminating the intense popularity of the establishment! Thanks for sharing it! Roscoestl (talk) 19:01, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm glad you liked my picture. I just happened to realize that I had this picture, and the other Wikipedia picture doesn't capture the crowds (or the glowing, campy charm you get at night). The picture looks extra cool because of the glow off the streets, which is because it had been raining and was in fact misting when I took the picture--and then pouring down rain thereafter. Throughout the crowds remained consistent. As you know, the crowds can get a lot bigger than this on most weekend summer evenings!

Conurbation

The conurbation revert made a couple of months ago - re: Los Angeles, should have left my edit as was. The claim put out there was LA is the largest conurbation in the US. According to the definition of conurbation, this is false - the Washington-Baltimore corridor is the largest conurbation by far, dwarfing by several times the number of people. The claim was on its face absurd, factually laughable information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.86.174.19 (talk) 19:21, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

You appended a statement in the conurbation article with the phrase "this particular claim, of course, is nonsense," which I reverted as a non-constructive, non-helpful comment. You subsequently made a constructive edit that removed the questionable claim, and I made no further edits to the article. I wasn't particularly following this article, as I generally watch all articles for vandalism or unconstructive edits, and since I've made over 1,000 edits since then, I can't tell you any more about things other than what the revision history shows. However, when I review it again, I agree with the decisions I'd made, and your edits have remained in place. Is there something else to this that I'm missing? --Quintote (talk) 20:47, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Question

Hi! I've noticed that several vandalism comments have been made on the St Mary's Springs IP address page. Every one of them threatens blocking, but it has only happened once. As a Springs student I hope that the vandalism stops, but as a wikipedia user I dislike vandalism, so my question is could you direct me to the user in charge of blocking? We are a small school and I'm sure that everyone that uses wikipedia has a user account so I think the school should be blocked. Springerjkreb (talk) 14:26, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your interest in improving Wikipedia. WP:AIV is where vandalism cases get escalated, though note there's a high standard put in place for blocking to get enacted. From the AIV page:

1. The edits of the user you are reporting must be considered vandalism.

2. The vandal must be active now, and have vandalised after sufficient recent warnings to stop.

3. IP addresses cannot be blocked indefinitely; The person behind a single IP address may frequently change and this needs to be allowed for.

If it seems like Wikipedia tolerates a lot of vandalism before blocking occurs, you're right. The goal is to be as open to editing as possible, so particularly in the case of shared IP addresses, blocking only occurs as a last resort.

Be patient. At times there is a lot of vandalism, but I think the good of openness outweighs the bad.

--Quintote (talk) 02:22, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

No Harm Intended.

Just thought I'd let you know that my edits were meant simply as jokes and there was no harm intended behind them. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.193.15.172 (talk) 01:30, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Chickenpox ???

You sent me a bizarre message about an edit I did on a page about chickenpox??? 1- I never edited that page 2- Not that it is any of your business, but that wouldnt even be my IP address as I only set this account up during the summer (and you claim the edit was made in April User:Kav2001c

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Chickenpox, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Quintote (talk) 23:54, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

If you view Wikipedia without being logged in, your machine is identified by its IP address. IP addresses for home users (which I'd bet you are) are usually dynamic in nature and get constantly reused and reassigned. I suspect this is what happened to you. Please accept my apologies, and know that my "business" in watching edits is to remove vandalism, and through warnings (like the one you saw), possibly deter the casual vandal. Whether they serve as an effective deterrent is another matter altogether, and you can find on WP:Vandalism lengthy discussions on how best to keep editing open but prevent vandalism.

Rest assured that someone with your IP address made a silly edit to the aforementioned article. Clicking on the revision link will leave no doubt in your mind. However, it has nothing to do with you personally.

Hopefully at this point you understand and agree that my comments weren't directed to you, but to someone who made an edit from the IP address recently assigned to you. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions or comments regarding this. --Quintote (talk) 20:41, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Eugene Earle Amick

The article Eugene Earle Amick has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

According to the article the person was an officer who died on a ship. Perhaps a brief bio on the article about the ship is adequate. Pknkly (talk) 00:27, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Pknkly (talk) 00:27, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

March Madness 2017

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:

• tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
• updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
• creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
