Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Binh Gia VC.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Knowledge (XXG) constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Knowledge (XXG) page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Image copyright problem with File:Central Highlands Evacuation.gif
Thanks for uploading File:Central Highlands Evacuation.gif. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Knowledge (XXG)'s requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check
That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Vo_Minh_Triet.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Knowledge (XXG) articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Knowledge (XXG):Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Knowledge (XXG) policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Knowledge (XXG) page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? feydey (talk) 12:09, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Canpark, I have a couple of articles up for GA. How about returning the favor? See Wyatt Earp or Brassiere. BTW, as a courtesy to others who need to leave you messages, you might want to consider archiving your talk page. It's a bit cumbersome to edit when it gets so long. — btphelps21:35, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:RVNS Ly Thuong Kiet.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Knowledge (XXG) uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Knowledge (XXG).

Replaceable fair use File:1979 Vietnam invasion.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:1979 Vietnam invasion.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Knowledge (XXG) articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf.☼11:56, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Battle of Lima Site 85
Canpark,
I have a number of concerns about your writing and editing on this page. First your edits of 18 June 2011 were tagged with an "m" indicating a minor edit, but with the comment "major expansion" you should know not to use the "m" tag in this case.
Your "major expansion" included the deletion of various parts of the article including all mention of the US personnel missing in action and their recovery. You have no right to unilaterally delete these sections without providing an explanation of why you have done so. I have reinstated the sections.
Your renaming of the article was justified by your claim that "Lima Site 85 only refer to the battle on the hill top, but there were fighting around the hill as well. Google search will reveal more results for Battle of Phou Pha Thi)", actually even after your renaming a Google search of battle of Phou Pha Thi delivers 207,000 results while the Battle of Lima Site 85 delivers over 7 million results, while a search of Phou Pha Thi delivers 16 million results while Lima Site 85 delivers over 32 million results. The battle may have been all over and around the hill, but the reason for the battle was because of Lima Site 85. Unless you can provide a better justification, I will revert to the previous name.
You fail to quote at all from One Day Too Long: Top Secret Site 85 and the Bombing of North Vietnam by Timothy Castle isbn 978-0231103176 which as far as I am aware is the only book solely written about the battle. Chauhan's book on which you seem to rely for much background information is clearly unreliable as I have identified and corrected numerous errors.
You place a lot of reliance on Do's book. Unfortunately even today the Vietnamese Government persists in putting out propaganda regarding the American War and so anything produced by the Vietnamese Government and particularly the People’s Army Publishing House cannot be assumed to be a reliable source and must be approached with scepticism if it is to be used as a source at all.
You seem very keen to push articles through GA appraisal. This is not a competition, this is a collaborative effort and you should bear that in mind. You should withdraw LS-85 from GAN until it can be cleaned up.
For writing. For writing excellent articles. For writing excellent articles without seeking recognition. Thank you, Canpark, for your tireless work on Vietnam War articles. I think you deserve much more praise than you do right now. Keep it up. Sp33dyphil12:47, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
Cambodian-Vietnamese War
Sorry that it took so long, but I finished the copyedit that you requested for the Cambodian–Vietnamese War. I've noticed that you added content while I was copyediting- if you continue to add to the article and want me to look over it, just drop me a note on my talk page. --Slon02 (talk) 02:29, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
Canpark, you have once again made substantial and unjustified changes to this page, which you have marked m. You have been on Knowledge (XXG) long enough to know this is unacceptable behaviour. If you do not desist I will refer this to an Administrator. Mztourist (talk) 14:52, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for all the work you did in making Action of 23 August 1967 a certified "Good Article"! Your work is much appreciated.
In the spirit of celebration, you may wish to review one of the Good Article nominees that someone else nominated, as there is currently a backlog, and any help is appreciated. All the best, – Quadell

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:126th SFG Southwest Cay.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:126th SFG Southwest Cay.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Knowledge (XXG) may not meet the criteria required by Knowledge (XXG):Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Knowledge (XXG):Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Knowledge (XXG) policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
Hi. The Knowledge (XXG):WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Knowledge (XXG):The 10,000 Challenge and Knowledge (XXG):WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Knowledge (XXG):The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Knowledge (XXG):WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoLo dicono a Signa.01:26, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Knowledge (XXG). Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Knowledge (XXG) Military Historians.
