See also HathiTrust. [[User:RobDuch|RobDuch]] ([[User talk:RobDuch|talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/RobDuch|contribs]]) 06:42, 24 February 2021 (UTC) ::[https://www.digitalcommonwealth.org/search/commonwealth:2n49v499t Digital Commonfilth] has added a few new ones. [[User:Qwirkle|Qwirkle]] ([[User talk:Qwirkle|talk]]) 02:48, 29 March 2021 (UTC) == Assessing articles == Hey RobDuch! I posted some articles on the Military History Assessment Request but haven't gotten much feedback. I saw that you've assessed some fort articles, so thought I'd reach out to you. I've expanded some of the articles and created some of the others. All are either classified as "stub" or "start", and some don't meet criteria based on "grammar" or "citations" per the MilHistBot, even though they're all cited and have proper grammar. I've never assessed an article (and think it's probably not good decorum to assess an article I created), so thought I'd see if you would (or could direct me to someone else who could). I don't expect any of these to be "B-class" in comparison to [[Fort Saulsbury]], but thought they could at least be a "C-class" when compared to [[Fort Glover]]. The articles in question are [[Fort Armstrong (Alabama)]], [[Fort Bainbridge]], [[Fort Carney]], [[Fort Claiborne]], [[Fort Strother]], and [[Fort Williams (Alabama)]]. I'm open to any suggestions and won't take any offense to positive criticism. Thanks! [[User:Dofftoubab|Dofftoubab]] ([[User talk:Dofftoubab|talk]]) 16:59, 6 February 2021 (UTC) :Thanks for your interest. I don't routinely assess articles, but I'll take a look at yours in the next few days and let you know what I think. User:MilHistBot is operated by User:Hawkeye7; you can ask him if you have questions on how the bot works. The only thing I think I know about it is that "citations" looks for a cite at the end of every paragraph. The bot has assessed some of my coast artillery unit articles as B-class, but I don't know why, as these are usually on the short side. Thank you for doing fort articles! [[User:RobDuch|RobDuch]] ([[User talk:RobDuch|talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/RobDuch|contribs]]) 03:38, 7 February 2021 (UTC) ::After a quick look at Fort Armstrong, it seems at least a C-class. I'd add "Units", "Postwar", and "Present" sections for those sentences; I'd also link the War of 1812 in there somewhere. "Infobox military installaton" may be more suitable than "Infobox historic site", but there's no problem as is. I can't see what the "grammar" problem is. I think your "citation" quibble was that the lead sentence doesn't have a cite, seems to be resolved though. I suppose your sources have no info on when the fort was demolished. [[User:RobDuch|RobDuch]] ([[User talk:RobDuch|talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/RobDuch|contribs]]) 00:43, 8 February 2021 (UTC) :::Thanks so much! I added those categories and it makes it look much better. Also changed the infobox to the military installation one and I like it a little more. Gonna add some of this stuff to the other fort articles and hopefully that will help those out! [[User:Dofftoubab|Dofftoubab]] ([[User talk:Dofftoubab|talk]]) 03:27, 9 February 2021 (UTC) ::::I assessed Fort Armstrong and Fort Claiborne as B-class, and Fort Strother as C-class. Fort Williams (AL) remains Start-class, though I upgraded the referencing to B-class. I would clarify that the Creek War was part of the War of 1812 and link both wars in each of these articles. Personally, I was not aware of the Native American sub-wars of the War of 1812. I've left Fort Bainbridge as a stub; when the infobox and cites are removed it's 1.7k, barely above the stub threshold of 1.5k. If you feel different, re-assess as Start-class.

The games I've been playing are either made by pig-dogs or I'm burned out (both in the case of WoW). So I'm suspending my participation in games for a bit. I will be picking up on the HD Ches Bay article that's still in my sandbox. I'm also debating taking a major plunge; reorganizing the USN SP and ID ship articles (see [[List of patrol vessels of the United States Navy]]) into a series of listicles, similar to [[Lists of Empire ships]], which others have advocated at WP:SHIPS for quite some time but don't have the time to do themselves. I don't want to see the bulk of these sent to the scrapyard. My wiki-efforts will be interrupted by a cruise the second half of next month, and another one most of December, with any luck.

It is a little scary how much research material appears and disappears on the internet; all the while libraries and even individuals are getting rid f stuff because ”it’s online!”… and then it isn’t.<p>I wish you had a better place to put this, though. As I wrote someone earlier this year {{tq|I’ve pretty well given up on Wikipedia. Good work likes yours serves to validate the tendentious agenda-driven slop that makes up too much of it.

I beat cigarettes, though, and I expect to kick this too, eventually.}} [[User:Qwirkle|Qwirkle]] ([[User talk:Qwirkle|talk]]) 17:51, 31 August 2021 (UTC) ::::Part of the problem (IMHO) is that WP hit critical mass a long time ago, and it has gained ironclad street cred by being the first (and in many cases only) source checked by everything from Google to Alexa. All of the numerous attempts to create an alternative site have failed, including Jimbo and Larry's respective latest projects as of last year. An acquaintance has pointed out that WP will eventually become Memory Alpha when we leave Earth. However, like the planet Jupiter, it is damned hard to change the direction in which it is traveling. Although most of the long-timers are really trying to improve WP quality, there are many self- and agenda-serving individuals that keep popping up. Well-written BS can look quite convincing, esp since wikiteurs are supposed to pride themselves on not being an expert in anything. My relatively narrow wiki-focus keeps me insulated from anything resembling recent events, and almost all quackery/POV-pushing. As a gamer since I was 16 (pinball, arcade games, computer lab in college, getting my own comp) I know all about the need for a short reward cycle. It's certainly a lot of why I keep coming back. I've gone back to World of Warships for a bit; some would think it sad, though I have a lot of company. A couple of days' effort should finish HD Chesapeake. Main issue on that article is trimming down the pre-history; Endicott period is the shortest section in it so far. Fortunately, if I follow the coast I shouldn't have another really long or complex HD article until I get to San Francisco. (update) Many congrats on beating cigarettes, I'm in the third week of a weight loss program that's actually working. [[User:RobDuch|RobDuch]] ([[User talk:RobDuch|talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/RobDuch|contribs]]) 04:13, 1 September 2021 (UTC) :::::Interesting; any particular take on the weight loss program? My attempt to bring Wiki up to 2007 on that subject had interesting consequences.[[User:Qwirkle|Qwirkle]] ([[User talk:Qwirkle|talk]]) 00:34, 4 September 2021 (UTC) ::::::It's called [[Optavia]] (link is to parent company) and is sadly rather expensive, at $400/month for "fuelings", or 100-cal snacks. The idea is you eat five snacks at 2-3 hour intervals, and once a day a "lean and green" meal of 5-7 oz. lean meat accompanied by lower-carb green veg. It's a bit like Atkins, but with minimal fat and a more reasonable amount of carbs. My personal trainer is paying for mine by giving me free sessions. Its literature has mildly cult-like overtones, and your first self-survey includes "financial health". One part is that losing weight is only the first step, the other steps are to make the weight loss permanent and improve health in other areas.

I've been usually losing 4 lbs a week. I've only broken the diet twice, for a pizza a couple of months ago and for Thanksgiving just now. Since my meals are supposed to be a generous portion of lean meat (or egg white omelet w/o cheese) and a salad, I've been able to stick with it in several restaurants and even on a Viking Mediterranean cruise. I've been focusing on games recently; [[World of Warcraft|WoW]], [[World of Warships|WoWS]], and just yesterday [[World of Tanks|WoT]]. I'm unlikely to get back on the wiki until after New Years.
