My name is Wikipe-tan. Since 2003 I have functioned as a mascot for Wikipedia.

Today I want to share a few words about our site and what you can do to help me ensure that it stays healthy.

Wikipedia was created in 2001 as a not for profit, and its editors and contributors have worked hard to expand the encyclopedia to its current state. Our site has evolved and the editors have evolved with it, yet a fundamental truth remains: the Achilles Heel of the site is financing. We do not sell ads on site, so we are at the mercy of those who would donate to ensure that we can meet the needs placed upon us.

Today I appeal to you make a donation. It doesn't have to big, it just needs to be made. Every little bit helps. In donating you will help us reach our goal of making the sum of all human knowledge available to everyone.

Knowledge is power, and therefore the most powerful are they who are the most knowledgeable. Before you decide that you can not donate, why not take a look around and see if you find something you like here. I bet you will, we have a wide variety of articles to interest anybody. If you find something you like then consider donating to help ensure that the material will be adequately supported in the time to come.

So won't please consider adding a few more coins to my cup? I would appreciate it.

Sincerely,

Wikipe-tan

My proposal

To simplify the national end of the current task force structure, I would be combining every national task force into continental task forces that assume responsibility for the nations once handled independently through their own task forces. The reorganized structure would like this:

African military history
this would remain independent since it already covers a continent.
Asia Pacific Military History
This would be created by merging the Australia, New Zealand and South Pacific military history, Chinese military history, Japanese military history, Korean military history, South Asian military history, & Southeast Asian military history task forces together into one single, unified task force that covers the entire Asia pacific region. Consolidation of this nature would make it easier for us to monitor the articles currently being covered in each of the above task forces more easily.
European military history
This would include the current Balkan military history, Baltic states military history, British military history, Dutch military history, French military history, German military history, Italian military history, Nordic military history, Polish military history, Russian, Soviet and CIS military history, and Spanish military history task forces. Uniting all of these together into one continental task forces would further reduce the over head we need to spend on the existing task forces.
North American military history
This would be created to take over the role currently being filled by the Canadian military history and the United States military history task forces.
South American Military task force
this would remain independent since it already covers a continent.

That would leave the following as regional task forces: Latin American military history Middle Eastern military history Ottoman military history

Admittedly, we could break up these three task forces and allow there current focus to be assumed by the above mentioned continental task forces, but then there would be no regions such as it were, and that could be problematic. That could be partially alleviated by the introduction on more regional task forces that are large enough to be of use to the project. Another advantage to this schematic is that we can gut some of the period and conflict task forces on grounds that they are now being better covered based on nation of origin. As a draft, my theory is that the above could be merged:

  • Early Muslim military history - this could be assumed by the Middle Eastern task force.
  • American Revolutionary War - This could be assumed by the North American task force.
  • Napoleonic era - This could be assumed by the European task force.
  • American Civil War - This could be assumed by the North American task force.

That leaves us with ~24 task forces in total after the major restructuring, down from the ~47 we currently have.

Welcome to the North American military history task force. If you have any questions about articles or are generally seeking advice, you're encouraged to ask at the main military history talk page, or you can directly approach one of the task force participants below.

The coordinators of the Military history WikiProject can be contacted here.

Scope

This task force covers the military histories of all North American countries, as well as military activity in North America by non-North American powers.

Any article related to this task force should be marked by adding North-American-task-force=yes to the {{WPMILHIST}} project banner at the top of its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax). This will automatically place it into Category:African military history task force articles.

Participants

I have a question for you and the foundation: Would it be possible to hard code a question mark feature into the admin section of the delete page and block pages? The idea I have is that if you could insert a question mark next to the block options (autoblock Ip, block account creation, etc) it would help less active and new admins by allowing us to glimpse a quick FAQ for the option in question (for example, clicking the "?" next to edit talk page/email cold result in a small blurb that says something like "Check this box is you are blocking an editor using his/her talk page to disrupt wikipedia. For more information, see [relevant wiki policy/guideline link]"). I'll admit that I am an admin whose not always active in deletion and blocking, and I live in constant fear of accidentally blocking someone or deleting something that should be ok to stay, so much so in fact that I have to keep glimpsing back at the relevant policy pages and guideline pages to double check everything, and I know that if I have done this other probably have too. If it can not be done then I understand, the site is a constantly evolving beast, but if it can be done I think it would help admins - particularly the new or less active ones - quite a bit.

Essay

My administrator policy has always been that administrators be thou for the contributors. As an administrator (or admin for short) I firmly believe that it is my duty to assist contributors to the best of my ability and within the confines of all applicable policies and guidelines.

I realize that I am only human, and therefore I will inevitably make a mistake or two in exercising administrative privileges on Wikipedia. In light of this, I invite my fellow administrators to fix any mistake I make here on Wikipedia. I will not consider it wheel-warring if you reverse my admin actions as long as you leave me a civil note telling me what you've done and why and as long as you're open to discussion with me should I disagree. I seek to learn from my mistakes, but learning can only be accomplished if both parties in a disagreement over a course of action are willing to talk to each other in a civil manner.

Finally, I am and always have been an administrator open to recall. To recall me I ask that you initiate a request for comment, explaining in detail the the action(s) that I have taken in the incident(s) that occurred. If consensus emerges during the request for comment that I have acted inappropriately then I will resign my adminship. Adminship is wonderful privilege to be entrusted with, but if you are not enough without the admin tools, you will never be enough with the admin tools.

Advice to one entrusted with responsibility

Be thou for the people is taken from Exodus 18:19-23, in which Moses is given advice to govern his people:

You will surely wear out, both yourself and these people who are with you, for the task is too heavy for you; you cannot do it alone. Now listen to me: I will give you counsel, and God be with you. You be the people's representative before God, and you bring the disputes to God, then teach them the statutes and the laws, and make known to them the way in which they are to walk and the work they are to do. Furthermore, you shall select out of all the people able men who fear God, men of truth, those who hate dishonest gain; and you shall place these over them as leaders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties and of tens. Let them judge the people at all times; and let it be that every major dispute they will bring to you, but every minor dispute they themselves will judge. So it will be easier for you, and they will bear the burden with you. Let them judge the people at all times; and let it be that every major dispute they will bring to you, but every minor dispute they themselves will judge. So it will be easier for you, and they will bear the burden with you. If you do this thing and God so commands you, then you will be able to endure, and all these people also will go to their place in peace.

"We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."

“I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising from this abyss. I see the lives for which I lay down my life, peaceful, useful, prosperous and happy. I see that I hold a sanctuary in their hearts, and in the hearts of their descendants, generations hence. It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.” ― Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
