DF21[edit]
Hello I did add a reference/source to my edit.https://www.scmp.com/news/china/military/article/3109809/chinas-aircraft-carrier-killer-missiles-successfully-hit-target 158.223.166.78 (talk) 16:23, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- You added an incorrectly formatted external link to a section that does not take external links, with no indication as to what claim it is supposed to be supporting. That's not adding a reference, that's linkspam. ⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 16:36, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
annual warrior competition[edit]
The sky sword unit is a Chinese special forces unit belonging to the PLAAF Airborne Brigade 158.223.166.78 (talk) 16:42, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- You need to provide a properly formatted reference for that claim. ⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 16:53, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

People will object[edit]
With regard to "people will object just to the re-organizing despite what WP:PGCHANGE and WP:PGBOLD say," I'd change "people" to "one person in particular." Can you say Wikipedia:Status quo stonewalling? - Butwhatdoiknow (talk) 16:26, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- I think the number of people who would do this is quite a few, unfortunately. ⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 18:26, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Reliable?[edit]
https://issuu.com/burmamilitarysecrets/docs/_207c2042c2f9a0/1|
https://www.rbnr.it/my/prodotto/itagl-00128/
These sources contain a lot of info about organisional structure of RIfle Platoon and RIfle Company. Do you think they're reliable enough to be writen on wiki?
As for interview of the POW, the Colour Sergenat (sometimes called Master Sergeant) in Myanmar tells that a Rifle Company, in practice, only have 50 men in total. You can check it in here

- @The Burmese Editor: The issuu.com one is not reliable enough. As best I can tell, it's just a pdf sharing website, there's no editorial control and per WP:UGC:
Content from websites whose content is largely user-generated is generally unacceptable. Sites with user-generated content include personal websites, personal and group blogs (excluding newspaper and magazine blogs), content farms, Internet forums, social media sites, fansites, video and image hosting services, most wikis and other collaboratively created websites.
In general that also applies to Youtube -- there is a consensus that it is generally unreliable and should not be allowed as a source WP:RSPYT. I could not get the other site to load, so I don't know what's on it. ⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 00:21, 24 June 2024 (UTC)- Ohh, got it. I guess those documents are not consdered reliable enough. What of the POW interview? Is that considered reliable enough? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_1fRaUZl3w The Burmese Editor (talk) 00:37, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- @The Burmese Editor: unfortunately no. The community has determined by consensus at Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources#YouTube that YouTube is a generally unreliable source, and with limited exceptions we can't use it. ⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 01:23, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Tupac Page[edit]
The page for Tupac can now be edited by everyone; it wasn't like that before. Previously, only administrators and users with permission could edit it. This rule needs to be reinstated, or it will be edited every day. Pier1999 (talk) 09:40, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Articles are not generally permanently protected; "it will be edited every day" is perfectly fine. Protection is put into place to deal with intractable behavior issues, not to prevent good-faith editing. ⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 14:53, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, all right. However, a lot has happened in these hours Pier1999 (talk) 14:54, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- ActionHeroesAreReal He came back to edit the page without consent, so Human and I had to edit all the time. So an administrator had to close it to avoid the edit war. And this happened because I had addressed the Wikipedia section on vandalism (the one you suggested to Human). Pier1999 (talk) 14:59, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
