Hang in there!

	The Don Quixote Award
	Sometimes you see what should be done but the obstacles are insurmountable. Don't let it get you down. Your contributions to Wikipedia are important. On to the next windmill! Schazjmd (talk) 22:41, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I literally have a lump in my throat right now. I really needed that - thank you!!

I saw, after the fact, what you'd been dealing with, and I really admire your tenacity and care about doing the right thing for the encyclopedia. I hope you don't let the experiences at that one article discourage you. And there are so many articles that could use your expertise, ones that don't come with a battlefield!

Welcome to Milhist!

Hello Lilipo25 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 are interested, or you can add it directly to your user page by copying the following: {{WPMILHIST Announcements}}.
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, detailed article and content review, writing contests, and article logistics.
We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
We've developed a set of guidelines that cover article structure and content, template use, categorization, and many other issues of interest.
If you're looking for something to work on, there are many articles that need attention, as well as a number of review alerts.
If you would like to receive the project's monthly newsletter, The Bugle, please sign up here.

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! Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:23, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Penn's Creek massacre

Hi, I made some small changes to the lead of the Penn's Creek massacre article, which I think improve the wording - if you don't think my changes are improvements, I have no problem with you reverting them - I don't want to upset the extensive work you have done on the article - cheers - Epinoia (talk) 03:05, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations! I hope that you continue to contribute to the encyclopedia. Happy New Year! Fiamh ^{(talk, contribs)} 11:24, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much, Fiamh! I am very happy to hear this. I'm going to continue editing the article following your instructions - I still have some more OCLC numbers to add to sources and have found a contemporary journal article that can be used as a source instead of Leininger & LeRoy's first-person account. Thanks again, and Happy New Year to you, too! Lilipo25 (talk) 19:06, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And more congratulations from an editor who has been admiring your work from the start.SovalValtos (talk) 12:35, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much, SovalValtos! I'm so happy to have my first good article! I've learned a lot about Wikipedia editing while working on it. Lilipo25 (talk) 19:06, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

-== Graham Linehan ==
-[[File:Stop hand nuvola.svg|30px|left|alt=Stop icon]] Your recent editing history  shows that you are currently engaged in an [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|edit war]]; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|talk page]] to work toward making a version that represents [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See [[Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle|the bold, revert, discuss cycle]] for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant [[Wikipedia:Noticeboards|noticeboard]] or seek [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]].  In some cases, you may wish to request temporary [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|page protection]].
-'''Being involved in an edit war can result in you being [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]]'''&mdash;especially if you violate the [[Wikipedia:Edit warring#The three-revert rule|three-revert rule]], which states that an editor must not perform more than three [[Help:Reverting|reverts]] on a single page within a 24-hour period.  Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert.  Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;'''even if you don't violate the three-revert rule'''&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.<!-- Template:uw-3rr -->
-You are already technically in violation of 3RR on that page, so you will be reported if you continue to violate in contravention of policy. [[User:Newimpartial|Newimpartial]] ([[User talk:Newimpartial|talk]]) 17:53, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
-:: I am not in violation of the rule, as you know I only reverted your 3 reversions. You are [[WP:HOUNDING]], but Bastun always shows up on that page to help anyone who wants to keep it biased and negative, which is why it remains so.
-::I do not need your lectures on  Wikipedia rules and have asked you before to stop. [[User:Lilipo25|Lilipo25]] ([[User talk:Lilipo25#top|talk]]) 18:00, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
-::: Please stop with your unsupported allegations. Your change of heading was a reversion to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Graham_Linehan&oldid=940914701 this version], so you have reverted four times already. [[User:Newimpartial|Newimpartial]] ([[User talk:Newimpartial|talk]]) 18:12, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
-::::Please stop hounding me. [[User:Lilipo25|Lilipo25]] ([[User talk:Lilipo25#top|talk]]) 18:20, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
-::::: I was required by policy to ensure you had seen a 3RR template before you could be taken to the Edit Warring notice board. Aside from required notices, I will not visit your talk page again, which is what I assume you are mischaracterizing as "hounding" in this context. [[User:Newimpartial|Newimpartial]] ([[User talk:Newimpartial|talk]]) 18:29, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
-::::::As I have stated numerous times, your hounding of me is placing the articles I edit on your Watch list just to rush in and revert me in minutes any time I edit, as a direct result of a disagreement on another page, and also offensively declaring me an "anti-trans activist' when I am nothing of the kind. Trying to make two articles that trans activists have biased with negative language sound slightly more neutral does not make me anti-trans, and it is offensive and not [[WP:Civil]] for you to call me something like that. [[User:Lilipo25|Lilipo25]] ([[User talk:Lilipo25#top|talk]]) 18:36, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
-{{od}} Before I go: I have not ''ever'' referred to ''you'' - or any other editor, for that matter- as an "anti-Trans activist". Please try to read more carefully, and not to take offense when your own reading comprehension leads you to faulty conclusions. When you think you have reason to take offense, perhaps you could take the time to give an a actual diff so you can learn when your interpretation went astray. Thanks. [[User:Newimpartial|Newimpartial]] ([[User talk:Newimpartial|talk]]) 18:40, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
-::::::::For once, you are actually correct - you were calling Linehan an "anti-trans activist", which reveals your clear bias against the article's subject and your reason for refusing to allow neutral language, but you didn't say it about me. You just hounded me out of spite over the disagreement on the Rape Relief Shelter page. [[User:Lilipo25|Lilipo25]] ([[User talk:Lilipo25#top|talk]]) 18:47, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
