:CPA-5 is one of Wikipedia's unsung heroes. They work vigorously behind the scenes. They decorously proffer sage advice on the mixing of different variants of English, under and over linking, missing or extraneous convert templates and much more. Their copy editing skills have led to them being nicknamed "Eagle Eyes". They have recently taken on even more work by becoming a coordinator at MilHist. They are awesomely busy in their assessing and reviewing of articles nominated for promotion: So far this year they have reviewed over 200 GANs, ACRs and FAcs - and are still going strong, even accelerating. (They reviewed 32 GANs alone in September alone.) They have never created an article nor nominated one for promotion; they do all of this work in no anticipation of any ''quid pro quo'', purely out of commitment to the project. The sort of input which deserves recognition via an EotW award.

ArbCom Elections 2016: Voting now open!

Hello, CPA-5. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of 2016 Burkinabé coup d'état attempt

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on 2016 Burkinabé coup d'état attempt requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.reuters.com/article/us-burkina-plot-idUSKCN12L248. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:08, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask any of the project coordinators or any other experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome, and we are looking forward to seeing you around! Anotherclown (talk) 11:47, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Control copyright icon Hello CPA-5, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mz7 (talk) 16:28, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Re-addition of post Cold War tags on Talk:Kashmir conflict

Hi CPA-5, Please be careful when you make project banners on talk pages. You marked Kashmir conflict as a post Cold war conflict which it is clearly not and were reverted. Two days later you mark it again without any explanation or discussion. I am not sure if this was a mistake but I would recommend you to be careful next time. This is now getting into disruptive behavior territory (even though it might not be intentional it is still disrupting the page). Happy editing. Adamgerber80 (talk) 16:17, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

G'day Adamgerber80 thanks to warn me and i am sorry for that. I thought first that every military activity or stuff who is ongoing should put in the project even it wasn't post-cold war but i was wrong second thing i didn't know i did put it for the second time i thought it was the first time anyway i just did what i thought was right again thanks for warning me and sorry.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

  • tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
  • adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
  • updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
  • creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various 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 scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Arumer Zwarte Hoop

Hi CPA-5. You probably don't remember this exchange:

  • Arumer Zwarte Hoop Structure. A Frisian rebel band. Expanded lead, sectioned, added several references, copy edited. In the market for a second opinion? Gog the Mild (talk) 21:00, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • G'day the structure is now ok sadly the references not ref 1 is not linked as a source (come out on the main page maybe error and they deleted it also don't think that West-Frisian is the language of the source see a lot of Dutch words), ref 3 has no link to the source same with ref 5 and ref 7 but if they're fixed then it is a little B-class. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 17:22, 8 March 2018 (UTC)}}[reply]
  • Apologies for taking so long to get back to you. The references were way trickier than I expected. One from 1791, one from 1853, several where a previous editor had "helpfully" put "access date" for when they had read the, hardcopy, source. Any hoo, I think that I have cracked it and would be grateful if you could have another look. Gog the Mild (talk) 17:02, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Gog the Mild: G'day Gog, yes i did remember that and i did just updated and finished the page with putting some beter sources, (well i think they are) and indeed the references were tricky. Anyway i did have another review and in my view it meets now a B-class. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 19:07, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

2018 Nicaraguan protests

You took this off the list of ongoing armed conflicts but I believe that this is an armed conflict. It has at least two armed groups, and it has over 448 deaths in a last year which satisfies both of the number of death rules. These are the requirements to be an armed conflict so I think that it is an armed conflict. Should I add it on or am I missing something and it is not an armed conflict after all. Cool314 (talk) 17:18, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • If there is at least one rebel group or paramilitary group is involved in the event and is fighting against the govermnent, then it can be called as an "armed conflict" which is not the case. It looks more likely a mega demonstrations than an uprising, political opposition organisations are not an armed group execpt they're armed of cource which is not the case. So my answer is which armed groups are you talking about it is still possible that an armed group is fighting against the govermnent which I did not know exist. But for now on it looks more like the Crisis in Venezuela which is an "civil conflict" so not armed but is has its own armed incidents. CPA-5 (talk) 20:46, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Gascon campaign of 1345

Hi CPA-5. I have just nominated this for an ACR - Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Gascon campaign of 1345. It is the campaign which included Battle of Auberoche, the ACR of which you were kind enough to comment on. And so I thought that I may be able to sweet talk you into looking at this one too. Thanks in advance. (He wrote, pushing his luck.) Gog the Mild (talk) 18:39, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi CPA-5. Thank you for the loan of your eagle eyes. All of your comments have been responded to. I am annoyed with myself that several of the issues you found are things you also pointed out in at least one of the two previous reviews of ACRs of mine that you have done. It is a good job that you are there checking up on me. Gog the Mild (talk) 22:37, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fall of Baiji

Hi CPA-5. I didn't realise that this was one of yours. Nice work by the way. I dropped by because it was on the GOCE list due to the copy edit tag. I tend to pick up the military articles at GOCE. As usual, revert or change anything you don't like. One thing which puzzled me, but I haven't changed, is the outcome. I'm not sure how it can be an "ISIL victory" when they lost control of the refinery after one day and the city after four months. Sounds like an Iraqi victory to me. I leave that one with you. Gog the Mild (talk) 17:51, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Gog the Mild: Hi there Gog yes indeed I made this article I think a year ago. At the time it was my main goal to make one article. Now I realised it still exist! If I look to the old article it looks so awfull even now at the no citations paragraphs. It also has lenght of a B-class so maybe I will work further on and make it a B-class. But for now I'm stuck with busy life, reviewing A- and FAC nominations and I am also busy with a sandbox draft about a Communist insurgency in Bhutan. Also It is an ISIL victory because it still occupied the city, while the Iraqi Army couldn't recapture the city until mid-November. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 18:21, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's the joy of Wikipedia. If you create something, other people will check it over for faults, as you check over my ACRs and FACs. Nice to return something to one of you articles. Gog the Mild (talk) 18:29, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Gog the Mild: Thanks Gog in the future I'll try to make it a B-class with or without help. Also that's my goal to try to make Wikipedia a greatful, joyful and interesting place on the internet. But for now I've a couple of reviews going on. I maybe would start with your Lancaster's chevauchée of 1346 and Battle of Bergerac nominations after I just finished all the ships nominations from Sturm and PB. With an exception of the Ersatz Yorck-class battlecruiser nomination Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 19:13, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It gives me great pleasure to recognise your unceasing attention to detail and the vast amount of help you have given to nominators of A Class and Featured Articles.

A-class review

Hello, CPA-5. Can I ask you to comment on the A-class review for Marcus Aurelius? Векочел (talk) 01:55, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oh hey Векочел. Yeah sure if you need some help in the nomination then I can help you. I see, it's already open for like four months which is really long for a nomination. So I will definitely help you to get it to A-class. Of course I'm not an expert in Roman history or in old grammer usages. But I can see some little issues so I can help you. Cheers CPA-5 (talk) 20:26, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Japanese carrier Hiyo

Just wanted to remind you that I've responded to your comment on this FAC and hope that my changes are satisfactory.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:28, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Sturmvogel 66: Hey Sturm ah I'm tottaly supprised of this. When you replied last Sunday there was a heavy sturm here which heavily damaged our roof and our car our solar panals even damaged our neighbours' roofs. We had no electricity, gas nor water and fire fighters told us it was too dangours to live there 'cause of risk of CO2 poisoning, explosion danger and our roof isn't stabilise so a next sturm with between 100 km/h–120 km/h (62 mph–74 mph) winds could detroy our roof. Good Lord it didn't, I really hadn't time to reply or even to be online I was a busy with my family. Last week was a terrible and fustraiting week, right now we have electricity and water only gas have to wait because our boiler is heavily damaged. Anyway I am happy to have an another look in the article. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 07:57, 17 March 2019 (UTC)== Congratulations from the Military History Project ==[reply]

Question

In approximately six weeks, we will open nominations for the Military history WikiProject coordinator elections. Have you given any consideration to running? You'd make a good coordinator, I think, and Lord knows we could use some new blood in the team. Think it over, and if you have any questions you can ask me or check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Academy/Becoming a coordinator. Sincerely, TomStar81 (Talk) 03:58, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hey Tom, a well good question you ask. First, let me introduce myself a little bit. I just came back from my holiday. I never nominated an article and I never used a wikitool. I'm a member on Wikipedia for almost 3 years. I'm a member of our project in March 2018. And I started to review here and there until end 2018 when I decided to help Gog first with reviewing his nominations and in 2019 I started to help Sturm and BB in their ships' nominations. They now are focusing on the OMT project. Even I didn't really want to push them that far. In the last Bugle I finished 3th in reviewing nominations I nominated 64 articles. I'd love to become a co-ordinator, but, I do not think I would have a chance because. Most supporters trust someone who nominates dozens of articles to A-class or even FA-class. Right? I also do not think I'm ready to become a co-ordinator because what should a co-ordinator? Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 21:30, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry for the extraordinarily long wait in between you message and this reply, I work nights on a five day rotating schedule and its a little challenging for me to adequately divide my time between work and wikipedia, so if one must be sacrificed its wikipedia since wikipedia doesn't pay me :) Anyway...I reached out to you because you are a skilled reviewer, and at its heart those of us who are coordinators are entrusted with closing those reviews and finding consensus for promotion, demotion, or the status quo. I understand if you think you are not ready, remember its your choice and I cant not force you to run, I am merely reaching out to you as one who is already working in the general review field we need our coordinators to be interested in. If you change you mind, feel free to throw your name into the ring. You may well be surprised what comes of it. TomStar81 (Talk) 18:40, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well Tom, I do not describe myself ready nor not ready. I'd like to nominate myself because I'd give it a try. If I loss (can always happen) then maybe next year another try, and sure maybe one day Wikipedia would pay you. :p

Would you mind...

Would you mind a post Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Project Excalibur/archive1 in the excalibur FAC ( I can't get the link to work)? Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:10, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • I maybe have a look this weekend. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 21:31, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Hi CPA-5 and thanks for reviewing HMS Roebuck (1774). I was suprised to hear that I am the first Wikipedian you've spoken to who's been to Belgium. Given the number of battles that have been fought there, I imagine it's a popular destination for members of the Military history project.--Ykraps (talk) 08:32, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Well, I mean you're the first English native speaker who travels to Belgium. Most people, even don't know where Belgium even lies, some Britons I met didn't even know I am from their kind of neighbour country. It's also strange that the Americans who I know though I was British and the British I know thought I was American well I mean I understand Americans because I try to use British words and if I realised that that word is American then I switch over to the British one. It's still weird that British thought I was American or so. Most English native speakers don't even know where Belgium lies or what Belgium is. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 10:21, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, I hope you had a great holiday like me. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 20:31, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi CPA-5, I see you're back from the Ardennes. I'm glad you had a good time. We had a great time in Bruges, thanks.--Ykraps (talk) 06:59, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes Ykraps I had a great time in the Ardennes. I even had a great summer, yesterday I passed my practice driving exam at my first time (same with my theory a year and a half ago). I'm now really proud of passing at my first time. Also my mum wants to travel with me and my family to the UK again before the Brexit is a real thing. If we'd go to the UK again then it'd be a race against the time. My mum wants to go from 26 October until hopefully the 30th or otherwise we'd be stuck in the UK. Last time we were in the Uk was only a city-trip to London itself now we want to travel outside London maybe even going to Wales or so I don't know. She likes the cliffs on the French/Britsh coasts so probably to the British coast. And no we're not probably going by car she's afraid that we crash our car over there because you know we're not left-side road people. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 14:47, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think Brexit will be a problem if you're just coming over as a tourist. There will no longer be a blue channel of course and anything you buy here and take back won't be EU duty paid but other than that there's no reason to rush. If you do come, some of my favourite parts are: Pembrokeshire, Peak District and Lake District, Cornwall and Devon, and Dorset of course! Congrats on passing your test. Seems like the perfect time for a European road trip and don't worry about driving on the other side; it's a lot easier to adjust, than you think. BTW, are you happy with my changes at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/HMS Roebuck (1774)/archive1?--Ykraps (talk) 19:00, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Good Article nomination for Karlsbader Programm

Hi, Thank you for reviewing the page. Could you please tell me what I should include in the infobox as I do not know what to add. Thank you. KhakePakeVatan (talk) 05:17, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations!

 The Coordinator stars 
On behalf of the members of WikiProject Military history, in recognition of your election to the position of Coordinator, I take great pleasure in presenting you with the Coordinator's stars, and wish you the best luck in the coming year! Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 03:41, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like you won't have to wait until next year after all :) Welcome to the team! I had a feeling you'd be a good fit for coodinatorship, and I'm glad to see you decided to run. TomStar81 (Talk) 07:13, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you both, I just woke up with this news. I do hope I'll be fit for the job. Oh well, I hadn't really thought I'd be elected. I was afraid to lose the election. First, it was okay because we were with ten candidates which means everyone would be a co-ord until Sturm decided to make it exciting by joining the fun. But hey I'm in right now. We'll see what the future says. :) Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 08:20, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

El Jefe
I extend my personal congratulations on your elevation to the ruling junta of Milhist and appreciation for your long history of contributions to the regime project. Chetsford (talk) 00:52, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you Chetsford to give this barnstar. I will follow the footsteps to whom my predecessors worked on and I will finish their works. The rulling junta is far from over and their will and enthusiasm will continue for centuries. Again thank you. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 17:13, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A Barnstar for you!

The WikiProject Barnstar
For scoring 2,499 points in the WikiProject Military history September 2019 edit-a-thon Backlog Banzai, I hereby award you the WikiProject Barnstar. Well done! Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 02:39, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Damnit just one point before the 2,500th mile stone. Thank you PM. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 07:59, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Awarding barnstars

Good morning mate. When awarding banzai barnstars, could you sign off in the points table that you have done so? I just awarded Peacemaker67 a second barnstar of diligence, not that they don't deserve it, before realising that you had already been there. Cheers. Gog the Mild (talk) 10:12, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Gog the Mild: Yes, I forgot. I just added my sign for at the points table. I also awarded to others only weirdly enough there are some gaps of you and PM forgot to fill with your signs. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 12:01, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. The last might be because I am doing some right now. Gog the Mild (talk) 12:20, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Good Article Backlog Drive Barnstar

The Order of the Superior Scribe of Wikipedia   

Thanks for your participation in the September 2019 GA Backlog drive. Your 32 (!) reviews made a difference. The work of editors like you helped bring down the unreviewed backlog by over 35%. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 18:27, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much Barkeep. No worries in the future I will continue reviewing GANs, especially in my project (MILHIST) has a lot of empty GANs but if I have something interest in something outside military I will have a review. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 13:48, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

Asking a cheeky favour

Hi CPA-5

Thanks a lot for your exceptionally swift review of Razing of Friesoythe; I don't know how you do it. At the risk of being cheeky, if you are looking around for another article to review, Battle of Lagos is at ACR and only needs a fifth review to pass. Plus I am intending to move it along to FAC, so having your eagle eyes look over it would be handy. Obviously, if you lack the time or the motivation, then no worries.

Thanks. Gog the Mild (talk) 02:00, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hmm sure why not. I indeed found some nitpicks. But I'd like to do it tomorrow or in the weekend 'cause I have some work to do with other ARCs or even with my long-forgotten GARs. If someone else reviewed it in the meantime and it is ready to promote then you don't have to wait for me I'll do the FAC then. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 15:26, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks. That would be good of you. But please don't feel obligated. I feel bad about asking you, because I almost never get to repay the favour. Gog the Mild (talk) 23:21, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Bakassi conflict

The article Bakassi conflict you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Bakassi conflict for issues which need to be addressed.

Open GA reviews

Hi CPA-5. I have noticed you have a few old reviews that are still ongoing. Just want to check to see if you are alright to complete them. I may be able to help out some if you need advice or a second opinion. Cheers AIRcorn (talk) 07:26, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Good morning mate, ah yes the GANs I'm still waiting for some of the reviewers and I might close it if the reviewers don't reply and address the reviews. Otherside I hadn't really the time or the motivation to address those who're still waiting or I forgot them. Thanks for the reminder I'll have a look in those GANs. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 10:51, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • No problem. I think I pinged you to all that are over a month without a comment from you or the nominator. Sometimes it is best to fail them if you are not getting responses to your issues. AIRcorn (talk) 17:57, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Editor of the Week

Editor of the Week
Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week in recognition of your "Eagle Eye" editing. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:Gog the Mild submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

CPA-5 is one of Wikipedia's unsung heroes. They work vigorously behind the scenes. They decorously proffer sage advice on the mixing of different variants of English, under and over linking, missing or extraneous convert templates and much more. Their copy editing skills have led to them being nicknamed "Eagle Eyes". They have recently taken on even more work by becoming a coordinator at MilHist. They are awesomely busy in their assessing and reviewing of articles nominated for promotion: So far this year they have reviewed over 200 GANs, ACRs and FAcs - and are still going strong, even accelerating. (They reviewed 32 GANs alone in September alone.) They have never created an article nor nominated one for promotion; they do all of this work in no anticipation of any quid pro quo, purely out of commitment to the project. The sort of input which deserves recognition via an EotW award.

Thanks again for your efforts! ―Buster7 ☎ 14:11, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
