for suggestions made for that month (that means that suggestions can be made before that week's monday, after that there is only voting, one can vote before that week), if there is a draw most important and, if there still is a problem, the one with least problems gets selected. And suggested articles that haven't been selected automaticly get an extra support vote next time they are proposed. --

Additionaly after the collabration is over the article could be featured on Portal:Latvia. So... would you be interested to participiate in such effort and if you would how long do you think it should beĀ ? ----

It seems that
Bermontians managed to be bouth under German and White command for certaint periods of time, which perhaps means that they were Pro-Baltic German, not German or Russian army, also Baltic duchy probaly had allready cased to exist, which leaves Bermontians to be army of what countryĀ ? --~~

It all depends on which
Germans. Goltz tried to take the Baltics for Germany--however, the driving force were the Baltic German landed gentry who wanted to keep their property and power; Latvia as a German colony was their solution. Goltz's forces remained in Latvia to then join up with and form the

I think a month should be best then - Portal:Latvia featured article is updated monthly, as I don't have anything for october I want to start this as soon as posibile. I prupose that we improve an article for a calendar month and in the last week of this month we pick next month's article by voting

The IP dug up some
Russian sources and his arguments on talk page acctualy don't go against my own books (except that 1. Bermont and Goltz formed Bermontians primarily on basis of the Iron division, Russian POWs were only small part of the army. 2. Latvian side did received support of French navy).

This sounds like a good initiative. I would be willing to help out to the best of my ability. Regarding the length of the improvement period: as there are relatively few people active in WikiProject Latvia, it may be wise to take things slow at first. A number of weeks per article at least, I would

I see that no new members have joined this project for a while, though there are many more people regulary editing Latvia related articles, I've seen that other projects use invitations, so maybe we should also use this tactic to get new membersĀ ?----

To the question of "ally", Goltz + Bermont were a military action instigated by the Baltic
Germans with the official and unofficial support (ergo ally) of primarily German forces (all German under Goltz, three-quarters German under

I think both collabration and the period of time - a month - is acceptable for everyone, so as the month of
September has already started I think this should be started as soon as posible, so here's a suggestion:

Bermont's force. Had Bermont been successful, Latvia would then have undoubtedly allied with Germany as the Baltic Germans would (for obvious reasons) no longer look to Russia, now Soviet.
