    On behalf of the Military History Project, I am proud to present the WikiChevrons with Oak Leaves for Hog Farm isthe name in the English Wikipedia's coverage of the American Civil War, with dozens on dozens of articles of quality, and has devoted years of his time and energy to the coordination and maintenance of MILHIST.Hawkeye7(discuss) 19:20, 2 October 2023 (UTC).Harrias (talk) viaMilHistBot (talk)00:30, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Hello, Hog Farm. Just reaching out as you and I and User:Buidhe seem to be the only editors who have been granted theWikiChevrons with Oak Leaves so far this decade. It's a much more exclusive club these days, and I'm honored to share it with you. I've been interested in the US Civil War since I bought a deleted copy of "Terrible Swift Sword" around 1984. Thanks for your contributions. Now I have to go back to the162nd Rifle Division.

    A change of pace

    [edit]

    Hi, hope you're well. I'm debating an attempt to spruce upUSSBourbon, as a relatively simple article to start with. While I realise this isn't exactly your field, I wondered whether you know of any definitive sources for the US/Continental Navy of this period? Thanks,Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk)19:25, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Pickersgill-Cunliffe: - Unfortunately, the Continental era isn't one I'm very familiar. My personal interest lie in the times of theMississippi River steamboats.Hog FarmTalk03:19, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I did some checking, and the person that was making a lot of questionable changes to Civil War articles involving West Virginia has not made any edits since January 2024 (unless he/she got a new name). I called him a "Sniper" because he did not seem to write many articles, only lots of changes to other people's articles.

    Miller's Cornfield

    [edit]

    If you have time in the next few days, can you look at the edits to this article to see if you think it now meets B class. I am leaning toward B class but wonder whether some of the citations, in particular, are sufficient. It seems to me that the user is still citing a summary in a few of them and is likely guessing about the chapters of the book in which the info is set out as he doesn't have page numbers. Perhaps that is sufficient for this one considering the info appears to be correct? I may even wait to the weekend unless someone else jumps in.

    This has been a reminder to me to be more attentive, especially to the citations, when assessing requests for B class. Usually, requests come from experienced users who only miss something by inadvertence and cite good sources in a proper way but that should not be assumed for every request. This is unlike the bot assessments since some overrating and not in scope articles can be found every month. An additional problem here, which the user shrugs off just mistakes, is more serious. That is citing sources that do not exist and page numbers that aren't in the books with a similar or identical title, but are by other authors. That's mainly why I remain somewhat suspicious about this editor and his work.

    I have reviewed other articles written or edited by this user and have left some tags. Most were worked on this month and still have stub or start assessments so I changed only one or two assessments. I saw some deficiencies if these articles as well.Donner60 (talk)01:26, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    It's possible but unlikely that they have ebook access to a copy with chapter but no page numbers (which is how those sometimes are) but I think this is rather unlikely because I have no clue how you would accidentally cite a book that doesn't exist and a book with an obvious wrong author? I own print copies of the Welker, Sears, Hartwig, and McPherson books cited in the article so I can do some checks later but the text seems correct. I might let citing chapter slide at b-class but certainly not at a higher level and I'd really like to know how they ended up citing the non-existent (or at least mis-subtitled) Cozzens book.Hog FarmTalk02:44, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Agreed. Before I saw your reply, I began to wonder whether chapter numbers were insufficient, especially since they are probably just a guess from the online summary of the book and the listing of the chapter numbers in it. Yet, the text seems correct. My surmise is that it probably just about all came from Sears or the existing article on the battle.Donner60 (talk)23:06, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I agree re Happy Feet's image review.

    Aomori Prefecture

    [edit]

    Hi. I know this is outside your normal area, but I'm trying to getAomori Prefecture to GA then FA status. On the article talk page and several other pages I asked for help from people but no one came onboard. You can see what I did here:Talk:Aomori_Prefecture#Get_to_GA/FA?. I have made about 200 edits to improve it. The only parts I wrote from scratch are the government section and the 90% of the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs of the intro. If you don't mind, could you look it over for GA potential and copyedit the prose? If this is too much to ask, it's ok, there won't be any hard feelings as I know it's a big request. Thanks.MisawaSakura (talk)20:50, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Thank you today forBattle of Arkansas Post (1863), introduced: "In December 1862, Ulysses S. Grant and Henry Halleck managed to divert a command intended for political general John A. McClernand to William T. Sherman. After Sherman led this force to defeat in the Battle of Chickasaw Bayou, McClernand took over and reorganized the command. Sherman and McClernand had independently decided to reduce a Confederate position on the Arkansas River known as Fort Hindman, which was commanded by the luckless Thomas Churchill. After some maneuverings and shellings from the David Dixon Porter's Union Navy squadron, McClernand's infantry assault was repulsed along the lines, but unauthorized flags of surrender were raised over the Confederate lines. The ensuing chaos resulted in Union troops swamping the Confederate lines, and the fort was captured and later destroyed. Grant took personal command not long afterwards, and after some false starts embarked upon his famous campaign that captured Vicksburg."! - I havea FAC open, in case of interest. --Gerda Arendt (talk)04:47, 9 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    • Aftera motion, arbitration enforcement page protections no longer need to be logged in the AELOG. A bot now automatically posts protections atWP:AELOG/P. To facilitate this bot, protection summaries must include a link to the relevant CT page (e.g.[[WP:CT/BLP]]), and you will receive talk page reminders if you forget to specify the contentious topic but otherwise indicate it is an AE action.

    Congratulation! And thenk you today forJohn Bullock Clark, introduced: "Another biography of a Missouri State Guard officer. While the last one, William Y. Slack, was largely a local figure except for his military service, Clark was a prominent Missourian for much of his life. He was an officer in the state militia during the Missouri Mormon War, where he was the recipient of the infamous "Extermination Order". In 1840, he ran for state governor, where he was accused of being complicit in a plot to commit election fraud and almost fought a duel with Claiborne Fox Jackson. Elected to the US House of Representatives in the late 1850s, Clark was expelled from Congress in 1861 for, as a sitting US congressman, leading a body of armed troops into battle against the United States Army in the Battle of Carthage, Missouri. After a few months as a general in the State Guard, Clark became a Confederate senator although he was not nominated for a second term due to behavioral issues (alcoholism, disorderly conduct, womanizing, and mendacity). After the war he fled to Mexico and was arrested upon his return."! - And you are invited to the PR ofUnser Mund sei voll Lachens, BWV 110, specifically to say just yes or no to four open concerns from the FAC, for my feedback, --Gerda Arendt (talk)09:42, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Guide to temporary accounts

    [edit]

    Hello, Hog Farm. This message is being sent to remind you of significant upcoming changes regarding logged-out editing.

    Starting 4 November, logged-out editors will no longer have their IP address publicly displayed. Instead, they will have atemporary account (TA) associated with their edits. Users with some extended rights like administrators and CheckUsers, as well as users with thetemporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right will still be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range.

    How do temporary accounts work?

    Editing from a temporary account
    • When a logged-out user completes an edit or a logged action for the first time, a cookie will be set in this user's browser and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created for them. This account's name will follow the pattern:~2025-12345-67 (a tilde, year of creation, a number split into units of 5).
    • All subsequent actions by the temporary account user will be attributed to this username. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser.
    • A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. Users with thetemporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right will be able to see the underlying IP addresses.
    • As a measure against vandalism, there are two limitations on the creation of temporary accounts:
      • There has to be a minimum of 10 minutes between subsequent temporary account creations from the same IP (or /64 range in case of IPv6).
      • There can be a maximum of 6 temporary accounts created from an IP (or /64 range) within a period of 24 hours.

    Temporary account IP viewer user right

    How to enable IP Reveal

    Impact for administrators

    • It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects theautoblock option.
    • It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
    • Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. OnSpecial:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should useSpecial:IPContributions for this (see a video about IPContributions in a gallery below).

    Rules about IP information disclosure

    • Publicizing an IP address gained through TAIV access isgenerally not allowed (e.g.~2025-12345-67 previously edited as 192.0.2.1 or~2025-12345-67's IP address is 192.0.2.1).
    • Publicly linking a TA to another TA is allowed if "reasonably believed to be necessary". (e.g.~2025-12345-67 and ~2025-12345-68 are likely the same person, so I am counting their reverts together toward3RR, but notHey ~2025-12345-68, you did some good editing as ~2025-12345-67)
    • SeeWikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer § What can and can't be said for more detailed guidelines.

    Useful tools for patrollers

    • It is possible to view if a user has opted-in to view temporary account IPs via theUser Info card, available inPreferences →Appearance →Advanced options →TickEnable theuser info card
      • This feature also makes it possible for anyone to see the approximate count of temporary accounts active on the same IP address range.
    • Special:IPContributions allows viewing all edits and temporary accounts connected to a specific IP address or IP range.
    • Similarly,Special:GlobalContributions supports global search for a given temporary account's activity.
    • The auto-reveal feature (see video below) allows users with the right permissions to automatically reveal all IP addresses for a limited time window.

    Hi @Hog Farm, I hope this message finds you well! I wanted to follow up regarding theFirst Jewish–Roman War article, which has been nominated for FA status. Given your previous valuable input during the Military History A-Class review, I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide any further feedback or thoughts on the article as part of itsFAC discussion.

    As it stands, the nomination has been open for a few weeks, but we are still seeking additional consensus to move the process forward. Your insights, especially considering the depth of the topic, would be incredibly helpful in finalizing the nomination.
