Currently, there are 2 top-importance and 49 high-importance human rights articles that are rated as stubs. Among them is the article Badush prison massacre, which is the subject of this bounty. You are receiving this message because this WikiProject is listed on that article's page. Editors who improve this article may be eligible for various rewards, or "bounties".

Bounties will be awarded for improving the article in the following ways:

Missing basing topic: weapon range

Has ru, pl and bg interwikis at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4154317 - but I was surprised to find nothing on en or in most other languages. Seems like a basic and notable military topic. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:18, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Possibly covered by articles on such topics as Proving ground, Bombing range and perhaps various types of test and training facilities? Donner60 (talk) 07:35, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

@Donner60 Related topics, but missing the red linked parent article, no? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:11, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

It could be easier for some readers to find under the weapons range title with links to the other articles for further information. Perhaps a redirect to proving ground might not be comprehensive enough to cover it all. I didn't further scrutinize it, however. Donner60 (talk) 06:01, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

List of your articles that are in Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors, 2025

Currently, this project has about ~673 337 articles in need of some reference clean-up. Basically, some short references created via {{sfn}} and {{harvnb}} and similar templates have missing full citations or have some other problems. This is usually caused by templates misuse or by copy-pasting a short reference from another article without adding the full reference, or because a full reference is not making use of citation templates like {{cite book}} (see Help:CS1) or {{citation}} (see Help:CS2). To easily see which citation is in need of clean-up, you can check these instructions to enable error messages (Svick's script is the simplest to use, but Trappist the monk's script is a bit more refined if you're interested in doing deeper clean-up). See also how to resolve issues.

These could use some of your attention

If you could add the full references to those article/fix the problem references, that would be great. Again, the easiest way to deal with those is to install Svick's script per these instructions. If after installing the script, you do not see an error, that means it was either taken care of, or was a false positive, and you don't need to do anything else.

FWIW my experience with these has been that they tend to be the following issues with the following solutions:

• Sfn was copypasted from somewhere else, has no original cite. Solution: replace with either a new reference or {{cn}} tags.
• Sfn has a typo in the name and doesn't match the cite. Solution: Fix the typo.
• Sfn has an incorrect year and doesn't match the cite. Solution: Fix the typo if it's an error, add a new reference or {{cn}} tags if the Sfn is to a work missing an original cite. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 05:00, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

In my experience, about 20-25% of the time, the short footnote is copied from another, related article, without the full citation being brought over. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 17:11, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Can you review it?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Battle_of_Rey_(1059)# Kartal1071 (talk) 14:50, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

You are more likely to get a review of a draft article (especially as you are a relatively new user) at Wikipedia:Articles for creation. Since this is a new request, I suggest that this request not be removed for several days, at least, to see if any experienced editor who regularly reads this page nonetheless is willing to review it.

Help

Over at this aircrash article talkpage, there is a (trio? I think it's a trio...) of editors who already labelled one of the army helo pilots as "racist" because of where he went to school as a kid. They're just itching to get all three helo crew id's (literally screaming for them, like a newsroom editor in a drama flick), so they can post this in the article. And why? Becuase apparently we're competing with Trump, and this will somehow counter his comments about DEI...? (can't make this stuff up).

They literally just died hours ago, in uniform in service to their country, and now their families, friends, and service colleagues are to see this; the latest from WP's new tabloid division. Is there an admin here that can go there and bring a little sanity to article and tp? Thank you - \\'cLf 01:02, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

Merge Chinese destroyer Shenzhen (167) and Type 051B destroyer

Shenzhen(167) is the only member of the type 051B class, and other single-ship classes(e.g. Soviet destroyer Opytny and USS Enterprise (CVN-65)) only have one article for the ship class and the ship itself. Can someone please merge these two articles together?(i'm not the most familiar with merge protocol even though i have been here for some time already) Thehistorianisaac (talk) 04:47, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Lists of lists

How should we classify lists of lists, such as Lists of massacres in Palestine or List of equipment of the United States Marine Corps. I had previously thought these were closest to Wikipedia:Set index articles, however, after reading that page I am left more confused about what SIAs but it seems not to cover this. It seems a bit strange to classify lists of lists alongside regular lists when they won't (and probably shouldn't) expand beyond basic bullet points and won't ever meet b-class criteria? - Dumelow (talk) 12:38, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Do we even need a list of lists for military equipment? It could easily be moved into the appropriate template or into the see also section of the individual lists. Gavbadger (talk) 13:03, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Scope of wikiproject military history

May I ask for topics like coast guards and gendarmerie(e.g. stuff like coast guard ships, people's armed police/russian national guard units) are they primarily under the scope of Wikiproject law enforcement or wikiproject military history? On the talk page wikiproject banner I usually put in both but if I have queries/need help on one of these topics do I find help on wikiproject law enforcement, wikiproject military history or a completely different wikiproject(e.g. wikiproject ships, wikiproject china/russia etc) Thehistorianisaac (talk) 03:48, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
