[edit] Target-Centric Approach to Intelligence

Hello again! Thank you for your advice! Someone suggested to me that I change the name of my article to Intelligence cycle (target-centric approach). So, I did that. I'm not sure that the protocol is for starting and leaving a wiki page. My advisor thinks this topic would be better suited under the intel. cycle heading.


Hello! I appreciate your assistance with this wikipedia page! I understand that it sounds like an advertisement, but I am doing my best to make it an unbiased report on this terminology. I have found little information about the term on the web so I am forced to rely largely on the book. I do not intend for it to be an advertisement, and I certainly have no benefit to sell this book! I am writing the article for an assignment, and am doing the best that I can with the given body of knowledge. Please do not delete it, as I will make changes as quickly as I am able to make it clearer. The difficulty is that we are taught about the benefits of using this methodology, and it is presented as having improvements on the older methodologies, so it is difficult to write about it without stating the method's strengths.

[edit] Sentence fragments in Soviet support for Iran during the Iran-Iraq war

Hi Howard,

A few odd sentences in the article, I won't try to fix them because I don't know what's missing:

  • "In 1981, a Defense Industries Organization of the Ministry of Defense."
  • "Motivations need to be understood in the context of the time of the Iran-Iraq War, between 1980 and 1988, in which the Soviet Union and the Cold War were still vary real. he revolution that overthrew him resented what they considered U.S. support of an unpopular ruler."

[edit] Category:Intelligence gathering legislation

Hello, Hcberkowitz -- I see you haven't edited for nearly 3 weeks, so I hope you see this note in time to respond if you're so inclined. As a knowledgeable editor in this area, I'm hoping you will take an interest in the CFD discussion for renaming of Category:Intelligence gathering legislation. For some reason it hasn't attracted very much input aside from my own fairly substantial comments. I hope it doesn't wind up as a "no concensus" close due to lack of input. It's already been relisted for further discussion, and would, I think, really benefit from your input. Regards, Cgingold (talk) 11:26, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply, Howard -- I understand your frustrations. It occurs to me that, with your emphasis on adding content to articles, you may not have worked very much on the category system and may never have taken part in a WP:CFD discussion. If that's the case, you might want to check out this particular CFD, as I think your knowledge of the subject area could prove useful in sorting out how these intel-related categories are best organized -- which is rather different from working on content issues. Regards, Cgingold (talk) 18:05, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps you have an insight that I don't, but even within the questionable categories, over a period of months, it was possible to restructure the CIA article from a 300K+ monstrosity of a main article, to a rational, multilevel hierarchy. Unfortunately, one energetic individual, who tended to act without consensus, took a geographic sub-hierarchy, which was patterned after the actual CIA geographic divisions and transborder approaches, and took over 100 countries and made separate CIA activities articles for each. While there was a need to go down a level for selected countries with extensive coverage, this sweeping change both lost the very real issues of how CIA works on regions, and made the individual country entries unmaintainable for transborder matters. At that point, I gave up on even trying to track geographic activity.
With all the categories in the world, there are a large number of people that simply do not understand the idea of hypertext, and want their pet issue on the main page. In the last few days, for example, an anonymous IP announced, on the main article talk page, that the CIA had put Nelson Mandela in jail, and should this not be in the main article? Incidentally, I had some background on South African security of that time, and the idea that an outside nation could make them do anything they didn't want to do is ludicrous. Apparently, this anon either wasn't aware of South African indifference to embargoes, or didn't understand them.
I refrained from comment there, although I'm perfectly willing to discuss things with thoughtful people such as yourself. In general, I stopped responding to anons, simply due to the lack of continuity. In this case, I recognized that I had an overwhelming urge to respond on the lines of "if you sourced that in any way, doofus, it might be good material for the CIA Activities in South Africa" article.
This Mandela comment is illustrative. There's already a structure in place, although without categories. Individuals like this, however, don't want to work within a structure, or quite possibly even to become aware of it. Given that experience, I don't know how categories would help.
Incidentally, you might find some interesting legislative data in Intelligence cycle management and elsewhere -- I don't always agree with Paul Pillar, but he has some interesting suggestions. There's also some mention, IIRC in the main signals intelligence article, about some very good oversight work done, years ago, by the Senate Intelligence Committee in getting independent, cleared experts to investigate if NSA put a "back door" into the Data Encryption System. Now, however, the Administration is preventing any really specific disclosure of the warrantless surveillance details, at least to committee professional staff or consultants qualified to judge the rationale. Unfortunately, the Congress has not shown much backbone on insisting on such accessHoward C. Berkowitz (talk) 18:42, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

  • With the holiday season upon us, we're very short of reviewers at A-Class Reviews and are likely to remain so for the next month or so. If just five new reviewers each reviewed one article a week, the problem would be solved! To keep track of Milhist articles for peer and A-Class reviews, simply paste the code – {{WPMILHIST Review alerts}} – onto your talk page.
  • Similarly, copy-editors are currently in short supply. If you can help out at the Copy-editing section of the Logistics Dept, it would be much appreciated. If you can help with A-Class Reviews and Featured Article Candidates so much the better! To keep up to date with Milhist articles needing copy input, just paste – {{WPMILHIST Copy-editing alerts}} onto your talk page.
  • The debate on whether Milhist should adopt the new C-Class has been closed, with a strong and clear consensus against adopting. The archived discussion is here.

[edit] SIOP section removal

Unless you have any strong arguments against this, I'm going to remove the "Effects" section of the SIOP article that you added some time ago. This would be appropriate for an article on the effects of nuclear weapons, but is entirely off-topic where it is. Maury (talk) 14:48, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

To start with, I did start this discussion on the talk page. but no one responded. Given that you wrote the text, I considered it to be a courtesy to post on your talk page, as it is entirely too easy to simple miss new posts to article talk pages.
And while it is true that any discussion while setting nuclear policy requires a discussion of nuclear effects, the text in the article is far too detailed, and isn't even referred to in the other sections. Those sections include their own discussions, which are more on-topic. It's like arguing that there should be a discussion of neutron economy in the article, or X-ray pre-filling in the holraum. These topics are simply not germane to a discussion of strategy, and can be replaced by a single wikilink. If people really want to know about over-pressure range curves while reading about the schlesinger doctrine, which doesn't mention it once, it's one click away.
Maury (talk) 12:27, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
I disagree, but since I'm not maintaining and updating the article here, including tying in some of those details, do as you will. If you come up with something better, fine. From my standpoint, the Wikipedia-style content disputes, with no one in a role to mediate or arbitrate from knowledge, are just not worth it to me. I may reorganize effects at CZ, but am unlikely to do it here.Howard C. Berkowitz (talk) 01:42, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

  • The criteria for Military history A-Class reviews have been overhauled. The new standard is deliberately set higher than before, and is much closer to featured article quality. The new criteria are:
  • A1. The article is consistently referenced with an appropriate citation style, and all claims are verifiable against reputable sources, accurately represent the relevant body of published knowledge, and are supported with specific evidence and external citations as appropriate.
  • A2. The article is comprehensive, factually accurate, neutral and focused on the main topic; it neglects no major facts or details, presents views fairly and without bias, and does not go into unnecessary detail.
  • A3. The article has an appropriate structure of hierarchical headings, including a concise lead section that summarizes the topic and prepares the reader for the detail in the subsequent sections, and a substantial but not overwhelming table of contents.
  • A4. The article is written in concise and articulate English; its prose is clear, is in line with style guidelines, and does not require substantial copy-editing to be fully MoS-compliant.
  • A5. The article contains supporting visual materials, such as images or diagrams with succinct captions, and other media, where appropriate.
  • The timescale for A-Class articles has also been changed to give more editors an opportunity to participate.
  • The six-monthly Coordinators' election has been moved back a month to avoid clashes with the holiday period. The sign-up period will run from 1–15 September and the elections themselves from 16–30 September.
  • The military land vehicles task force has been created.

  • Following a lengthy discussion, three new coordinators – EyeSerene, Maralia and the_ed17 - have been coopted. The purpose of the appointments is partly to fill the place left by the retirement of TomStar81 and partly to provide increased/improved coordinator capacity to cover existing coordinator absences and to help with upcoming major projects. As a reminder, coordinators are merely editors who have committed to go the extra mile for the project and that there are very few processes that require coordinator input. Specifically these are closing A-Class reviews, and endorsing two project award nominations. Any editors who wish to help with the nitty-gritty of this busy project (cross-posting A-Class review, peer review and featured article candidate alerts; responding to member questions and queries, helping with drives) are positively encouraged to do so.
  • A workshop has been set up to redesign and improve the newsletter. In our recent competition, a new name was chosen – The Bugle. All editors are welcome to participate, especially those with graphic and design skills!
  • Administrator and Milhist coordinator, Nick Dowling, has changed his user name to Nick-D.

This little form letter is just a courtesy notice to let you know that a proposal to merge the projects Wikipedia:WikiProject Free images, Wikipedia:WikiProject Fair use, Wikipedia:WikiProject Moving free images to Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia:WikiProject Illustration into the newly formed Wikipedia:WikiProject Images and Media has met with general support at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Files. Since you're on the rosters of membership in at least one of those projects, I thought you might be interested. Conversation about redirecting those projects is located here. Please participate in that discussion if you have any interest, and if you still have interest in achieving the goals of the original project, we'd love to have you join in. If you aren't interested in either the conversation or the project, please pardon the interruption. :) Thanks. Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:04, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

As a current or past contributor to a related article, I thought I'd let you know about WikiProject University of Florida, a collaborative effort to improve Wikipedia's coverage of University of Florida. If you would like to participate, you can visit the project page, where you can join the project and see a list of open tasks and related articles. Thanks!

[edit] New CfD

I have proposed a new CfD concerning a derm category. Basically, I want to start using the term "cutaneous" instead of "skin" for most derm categories. Would that be ok with you? See: Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2009_May_21#Category:Chronic_blistering_skin_conditions. ---kilbad (talk) 23:33, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

  • Support – per nom. SimonPucher (talk) 09:10, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
  • Support – I agree cutaneous is more correct than skin and it should be changed. I appreciate kilbad for taking the initiative to fix it.
Sorry I didn't respond earlier, I am in lock-down mode studying for the boards, so haven't been checking wikipedia recently. --D.c.camero (talk) 22:50, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] List of skin-related conditions nominated as featured list candidate

I have continued to work on the list of skin-related conditions, and recently nominated it for FL status. If available, your comments would be greatly appreciated at the nomination page. Regardless, thank you again for your work on wikipedia. ---kilbad (talk) 06:36, 28 June 2009 (UTC) Maen. K. A. (talk) 23:29, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Hue chemical attacks

We have identified the possible agents. However, according to the source the French used phosgene in some of their WWI tear grenades(white cross ammunition). That doesn't make sense. Phosgene oxime would make sense. Can you check this issue please. Thanks a lot. Wandalstouring (talk) 11:18, 6 March 2009 (UTC)


[edit] CIA

Hi Howard,

I know you are retired, and I am fairly certain you miss the CIA and IC work much less than the Military History Project, I would very much welcome any comments you have before FAN. I have particularly asked for help with "content balance" decisions about whether each section is given due wait in comparison to other sections, as I discuss in more detail on the talk page. I know this could open up a can of worms, but I'm hoping the caveats I've laid will help keep it under control.

Anyway, your thoughts would be much appreciated, even if you don't want to actually work on it yourself.

Cheers,
