Hi everyone, this is my talk page. Don't come to this talk page looking for a confrontation. When I argue, I argue for a long time & don't usually back down - it's in my fight or flight nature. If you have a heated discussion you'd love to have with me, I suggest you wait a day or two before posting here & rephrase any inflammatory remarks you may make for both of our sakes. I don't like fighting & I'm sure you don't either. Thank you...</center>

== Hello again! ==

Hi, Spawn Man;

Good to hear from you! It's been pretty quiet for a long time.  Cas is trying to get the collaboration back going, and I'd like to see it work out (even if I would have rather done ''Apatosaurus'' - I scanned Berman&McIntosh 1978 from the library assuming it would be next, and also because periodically an editor drops by to accuse Marsh of perpetrating a hoax regarding Brontosaurus). I'm glad to hear that your degree is coming along! [[User:J. Spencer|J. Spencer]] ([[User talk:J. Spencer|talk]]) 03:54, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

== [[WP:VIRUS|WikiProject Viruses]] is back ==

== March Madness 2017 ==

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/March Madness 2017|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/March Madness 2017|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, [[User:AustralianRupert|AustralianRupert]] ([[User talk:AustralianRupert|talk]]) & [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Nominations for both awards are open between 00:01 on 2 December 2017 and 23:59 on 15 December 2017. After this, a 14-day voting period will follow commencing at 00:01 on 16 December 2017.
