Subject: 2) Charter (Original Text)
Author: Joel Furr
Discussion of the era 1939-1945 in particular, but ranging as far b=
ack
as 1918 and as far forward as the 1950's for discussion of eve=
nts
leading to the War and post-war events such as the occupation of Ja=
pan
and Germany. The discussion will be limited to social, politic=
al,
military, economic, technological, demographic, and historial aspects=
of
World War II, including discussion of:
* Arms limitations treaties in the 1920's, intended to head
off any future war
* the Weimar Republic
* the rise of the Italian Fascists
* the Japanese war with China
* the rise of the Nazi Party
* American isolationism
* Franco-British appeasement
* Italian misadventures in Africa
* German occupation of the Sudentenland and Austria
* the war proper, 1939-1945
* the Manhattan Project
* the Holocaust
* Post-war occupation of Japan and Germany
* Post-war governments of Europe
* and so on.
In other words, the mandate for soc.history.war.world-war-ii is inten=
ded
to be broad, rather than narrow, with moderation in place less to li=
mit
discussion than to keep out Gannon and the Holocaust Revisionists =
and
other malicious posters. Should Dan Gannon or Serdar Argic sub=
mit
articles which actually discuss World War Two rather than spread=
ing
their brand of conspiracy theory, their articles will be approved =
for
submission as well.
************************************************************************
************************************************************************
-------
Subject: 3) Moderation Policy
Soc.history.war.world-war-ii will have a very relaxed moderation poli=
cy.
The main purpose, as noted above, for moderation of this group is=
to
prevent it from turning into a revisionist flamefest akin =
to
misc.headlines or soc.history. As such, any message which actua=
lly
discusses World War II will be approved for posting, provided that=
it
does not attempt to claim that events such as the Holocaust ne=
ver
happened. There are other groups for discussion of that question, m=
ost
notably, alt.revisionism.
Moderation rules:
* Articles which discuss World War Two and its events will be appro=
ved
for posting.
* Articles arguing that the Holocaust never happened will not=
be
approved for posting.
* Articles must contain original thought. Lengthy quoting of sou=
rce
material with a couple of lines of comment at the end will =
not
be approved for posting.
* Blank messages, test messages, advertisements, MAKE.MONEY.FAST, and=
so
forth, will not be approved for posting.
* Articles which include excessive quoting (e.g. an article which quo=
tes
an entire other article in order to add a few comments at the e=
nd)
will be trimmed down by the moderator in question.
* An article MUST have a valid reply-to address or it will not=
be
approved for posting.
* Rejected articles will be shared with the other moderators for gr=
oup
consideration.
As noted below, the group will be group-moderated, to minimize de=
lay
between submission and posting and to keep the group running when =
the
traffic becomes heavy.
ADDENDUM: 'War Buddies' [June 94]
We've had a few of this type of message lately, and it seems to be a "gra=
y
area" in our charter. These messages don't _really_ discuss WW2, and the=
y
don't have any real historical content.
People who want to search for old war buddies should post to soc.veterans.

Subject: 4) Moderation Policies (Amendments 1994)
The moderators of soc.history.war.world-war-ii, in exercise of th=
eir
rights to clarify & amend moderation policies for the news gro=
up,
clarify & amend the moderation policies for
soc.history.war.world-war-ii.
These amendments are effective immediately. Any questions should=
be
addressed to: ww2-mod@acpub.duke.edu.
QUOTED TEXT:
Any article that contains more than fifty percent quoted material (=
and
the author's signature shall not count as original material for purpo=
ses
of determining the proportion) may be trimmed or rejected at =
the
discretion of the moderator. In exercising this discretion, t=
he
moderator shall take readability considerations into account, such=
as
the amount of quoted material at the beginning of the message, and =
the
size of the blocks of quoted material. An article in which the aut=
hor
has included a long article as a quote without making any effort to t=
rim
the quoted article may be rejected. A moderator may trim quoted mater=
ial
from any article at his discretion.
SIGNATURE LENGTH:
In keeping with Usenet netiquette conventions, signatures should =
be
restricted to four lines. Moderators may, at their discretion, t=
rim
.sigs to four lines before posting articles.
POSTINGS SEEKING 'WAR BUDDIES'
Soc.history.war.world-war-ii is a forum for discussion of WW2 even=
ts,
not to seek out war buddies. Soc.veterans is the most appropri=
ate
newsgroup to seek out individual veterans. Moderators may, at th=
eir
discretion, reject articles that seek out individual veterans =
and
suggest that they be redirected to soc.veterans. However, the moderat=
ors
also recognize that some requests in that vein can generate g=
ood
discussions of history or of resources for WW2 research. Therefo=
re,
moderators will evaluate such articles before rejecting them, =
and
moderators may post such articles if they decide that they have =
the
potential to generate WW2 discussion of general interest to the read=
ers
of the newsgroup.

Subject: 5) Moderation Policies (Amendments 1995)
-June 95-
REGARDING ANNOUNCEMENTS
Moderators may accept articles announcing the availability of n=
ew,
scholarly materials, if the moderators determine, in the exercise=
of
their discretion, that the announcement of such scholarly materi=
als
furthers the purposes of the newsgroup. The posting of any s=
uch
announcements by commercial enterprises does not mean that =
the
moderators will feel obliged to post all articles from commerc=
ial
sources.Moderators will evaluate all such announcements on an individ=
ual
basis.
SEEKING E-MAIL RESPONSES
Moderators may reject any article that specifies replies by e-mail on=
ly,
if the author does not offer to summarize the e-mail responses for =
the
entire group. Authors should, of course, follow up on offers =
to
summarize, or they risk losing their credibility among the moderat=
ors
and other newsgroup readers.

Subject: 7) Why this Forum Exits?
Author: Joel Furr
A war includes more than military events. A war includes soci=
al,
political, economic, military, and demographic events. Discussion o=
f a
war typically includes the *war era* and not just the war. Pres=
ent
groups which exist to discuss military issues are very specif=
ic:
sci.military, alt.folklore.military, alt.war. All of these tend to fo=
cus
very strongly on the military aspects and less on the historical =
and
other aspects. Soc.history.war.world-war-ii will encompass all aspe=
cts
of war.
Discussion of World War II and wars in general takes place on a w=
ide
range of newsgroups, many of which specialize on recent milit=
ary
history. The most notable example of war discussion taking pl=
ace
elsewhere is the World War II mailing list, which averages 800 kiloby=
tes
per month of traffic and which almost closed down after presenting =
far
too great a load on its moderators than they could handle. =
The
moderators of the list are in support of the proposed newsgroup as =
the
subject is far larger than can be easily dealt with in mailing l=
ist
form. A newsgroup is needed.

Subject: Battleship & Aircraft Carrier info on the WWW
Date: 16 Apr 1995 05:00:49 GMT
# Updated # 3/25/96
Announcing new Battleship and Aircraft Carrier information availa=
ble
on the World Wide Web (WWW):
I have (finally) completed a series of lists that provide informa=

lists are my work, compiled from a variety of online and print
resources.
Comprehensive Lists:
-------------------
These provide "vital statistics" on each ship (dimensions, armame=
nt,
etc.) as well as dates laid down, launched, commissioned,
reclassified,
renamed, rebuilt, damaged, decommissioned, stricken, scrapped, et=
c.
This provides a brief history of each ship "in a nutshell". Many
books
have been written on these ships, I don't intend to duplicate tha=
t
work
by including every detail.
Aircraft Carrier Lists(http://www.wpi.edu/~elmer/navy/carriers.ht=
