22 years on Wikipedia!

During December 2024, I celebrated the completion of twenty two years on Wikipedia. Once again, I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the entire Wikipedia team and family and my many fellow editors for giving me the opportunity to use my time productively by allowing me to contribute from my education, knowledge, experience and skills to this amazing project over twenty two very productive years. Thank you so much to everyone concerned and a special thank you to the many readers who utilize this encyclopedia. Feel free to leave a message at: User:IZAK/awards#22 years in 2024.

Personal disclaimer

Having either initiated or made contributions to many articles and categories I DO NOT undertake to GUARANTY or provide a GUARANTEE whatsoever for their reliability and Kosher contents ("fitness") according to certain people's conceptions of Halacha - (Halakha - Jewish Law) because this is Wikipedia and other editors may freely add/subtract/change/cancel/modify/redirect and otherwise perform a variety of editorial functions, which is their right in this forum, so that articles must never be taken as the definitive "last word" on any subject! Therefore, ALL readers must use their own personal discretion as to what they would personally agree or disagree with, and, must assume their own FULL responsibility for whatever they may read anywhere on Wikipedia or in related external links.

• Alphabetizing Categories: How I got it going, see User:Paradoctor/CatVisor: "Inspired by this discussion, CatVisor is a script that adds user-configurable ways of arranging and displaying the categories on articles. CatVisor does not touch the article source, and will not change anything for those not using it. It will include a tool to edit arrangements, and a template will allow editors to offer pre-made arrangements to readers using the tool, but this will not change the order of the categories for non-CatVisor readers, or anything else about the rendered page. Discussion on the talk page, please."

Welcome to the Military history WikiProject!

File:Waricon.svg

Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

• Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
• The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including Template:Tl there.
• Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
• The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, peer review, and project-wide collaboration.
• We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
• Our requests page has extensive lists of requested articles, images, maps, and translations.
• We've developed a variety of guidelines for article structure and content, template use, categorization, and other issues that you may find useful.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lokshin 14:13, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Regarding most topics in Category:Jews and Judaism: I am primarily an INCLUSIONIST first, and a deletionist last!
