Hey! Based on your edits to ''[[NationStates]]'', I thought maybe you would be interested that I started a [[:Category:NationStates user templates|series of userboxes]] for the game. Feel free to add any or add your own!-[[User:DoctorWho42|<span style="background-color:#ff0000; color: #e8ff00">🐦Do☭torWho42</span>]]<span style="background-color:#ff0000; color: #e8ff00"> ([[User talk:DoctorWho42|<span style="background-color:#ff0000; color: #e8ff00">⭐</span>]])</span> 06:39, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
== DRN Volunteer Roll Call - Action Required ==
There has been no roll call since November 2017 so with that said, it is time to clean up the volunteer list. Please go to the [[Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard/Volunteering/Roll_calls#Roll_call_ending_May_30,_2020|Roll Call]] list and follow the instructions. If no response is received by May 30, 2020, it will be assumed that you no longer wish to participate and you will be removed as a [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/Volunteer|DRN volunteer]]. Thank you for your attention to this and for helping Wikipedians in their dispute processes.<br/>{{small|Sent by [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) on behalf of {{noping|Galendalia}} <sub>CVU Member</sub> \ <sup>[[User talk:Galendalia|Chat Me Up]]</sup> at 12:08, 16 May 2020 (UTC)}}

== Illinois State Guard/Illinois Reserve Militia ==
Hi. I wanted to let you know that I moved the page [[Illinois State Guard]] back to [[Illinois Reserve Militia]]. I did so because the article in question is about the state defense force as it existed during World War I and World War II, when the official name ''was'' "Illinois Reserve Militia." The law you cited only went into effect ''after'' World War II ended and the Illinois Reserve Militia was dissolved. For example, the [[Alaska Territorial Guard]] is a separate entity (and article) than the modern [[Alaska State Defense Force]]. I think it might be a good compromise to include a line about "in (year X), the state changed the name of its inactive state defense force to the Illinois State Guard" or something to that effect. However, because the state defense force of Illinois WAS officially named the Illinois Reserve Militia, and because the name "Illinois State Guard" didn't exist until after the unit was disbanded, someone looking for the historical World War-era force will likely be looking for it under the name it was actually called during the wars, and not the name change that was retroactively changed on paper years later. Please let me know if you want to discuss further. [[User:Et0048|Et0048]] ([[User talk:Et0048|talk]]) 10:30, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
:{{reply to|Et0048}} Seeing as you edit state defense force related articles more, I'm willing to defer to you on this. I do agree that we can add the line about the name change. Thanks for letting me know. [[User:Editor760|Editor760]] ([[User talk:Editor760#top|talk]]) 04:53, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
