trying to do some useful work. I probably should tip you off that most of the contenders are hypocrites who are doing it for reasons other than what they say: they are members of an agency, advertisers of products, ideologues, persons with a religious committment, nationalists of a specific brand, or the like. Moreover, their legions extend well into the administrators. So, if things do not always go as you plan, don't be too disappointed. WP can only take things so far. You may have a free hand with the tanks as far as I am concerned. Don't push it. Good luck.Branigan 19:48, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

not arranged in a meaningful order. I can't do as YOU request simply because I do not know your basis for categorization. That is neither right nor wrong. However, I am not primarily interested in tanks. So, I am not interested in working with you to find out your scheme. I accept it on good faith. I am sure it must be meaningful and orderly or you would not be concerned about it. What I can do is put all the pictures in question back where I found them and let YOU decide what to do with them. That is about 30 seconds of work. For you to dispose of them can't be many seconds more.

240:В прошлом году мы использовали ежегодный сбор средств как способ показать миру, кто на самом деле пишет Википедия. Мы показывали редакторов из Бразилии, Украины, Аргентины, Саудовской Аравии, Кении, Индии, США и Англии. Этот метод имел огромный успех, в результате чего у нас была наиболее финансово успешная кампании по сбору средств в историе организации. Кроме того, мы остались верны духу Википедии, просвещение общественности, что это бесплатно ТОП-5 Сайт создан добровольцами, как Ви и я. 478: 413:

your moves in good faith. Go to town, dispose of all the tank pictures as you see fit. If you are looking for my permission, well, you have it. For me, the hardest part of Commons is formulating the categories. If you already know those, you can make any number of moves as I say in seconds. Ciao. I approve of all your actions in advance. Good work, fine job. Any consistent plan is a fine job on WP. Bye now.Branigan 19:48, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

I got one more suggestion. The tone of your communication is somewhat provocative. You may have got that approach by looking back in my former discussions, which is even more provocative. That is entirely the wrong tone to take on WP. This is an encyclopedia, not a witch-hunt. So, save yourself a lot

I seem to have contradicted a fundamental design of yours. Thank you for pointing that out. If you have been working on the tank pictures and you have a categorization scheme worked out I have no intent to contravene it. I was simply trying to help deal with a large number of tank pictures apparently

I have rewritten the article a bit, fixed some factual mistakes and added some sources, but the article is sadly in such a poor shape in general (in fact, the "Krupp gun" is not a family of designs but just a brand: there's not more common between designs from different decades than e.g. between BMW

Your approach seems to suggest you may not be familiar with the quick way to move pics around. I find cat-a-lot to be a safe and useful tool. You can acquire this gadget by altering your preferences.

You request that I go through my changes and determine which are "wrongly" made and revert the ones that are. This is an improper and contentious request.

Filling out refs manually often takes more time than all the rest of the edit, so TBH when it's impossible to fill it automatically I sometimes skip this part. In my experience, almost all the problems of link rot in Knowledge (XXG) are solved by referring to Web Archive (I don't remember the last
