Thanks Ed. I'd appreciate any help you can give me. I'm working on 11th Airborne Division at the moment, so any help you can give there would be great. Cheers! Skinny87 (talk) 19:57, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good job on that one. Are there any others that you need help with? -Ed!(talk)(Hall of Fame) 22:01, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: GA's

[edit]

To be honest with you, I don't know exactly in what category is supposed to go under, I mean, I know it goes under "World history", but not sure what category though. That's why its not at the Good article page. For the future, where exactly does it go on? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:05, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was going for that section, but I wasn't 100% sure. Thanks for letting me know and sorry if I caused any hassle for the articles. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:15, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No problem at all. Thanks for passing it so quickly! -Ed!(talk)(Hall of Fame) 22:17, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please clarify

[edit]

You have just slapped a refimprove template on This Must Be the Place, an album included in WikiPojects Albums, and I'm not quite sure why. The article contains no material whatsoever that can be considered a quote or material likely to be challenged, which is what Wikipedia's verifiability policy refers to when requiring references. It contains an infobox, a track listing and personnel. Are you doubting the existence of the album itself, or is the notability that you are questioning? --Technopat (talk) 21:29, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. The page is currently very small, but all the information on it (other than the track listing and other permiteerd by WP:CITE) should be sourced since there are currently no references at all on it. -Ed!(talk)(Hall of Fame) 16:37, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your reply. But we're back at square one. There are no references because there is no information on it other than what you yourself refer to. --Technopat (talk) 23:41, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The tag is there more to show an area that could be improved, rather than a current problem with the article. The information may not be disputed, but since there are absolutely no references at all, it should at least have citations that point to its publishing and/or information about the article online or in print. -Ed!(talk)(Hall of Fame) 20:44, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1st Sustainment Brigade

[edit]

Hey man, sorry about taking a while to get back to you. I just got back from one trip and I have a day to pack for the second one, so I should probably remove that tag. If nothing's happened when I get back on the 19th, I'll do it then. All the best, Cam (Chat) 04:49, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's all right, someone else has already begun to review the article. -Ed!(talk)(Hall of Fame) 20:43, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguator

[edit]

I don't know if you saw the talk page for the Milhist project. I started a discussion on it. The discussion will explain my motive a bit more. Also note that no AF unit has the disambiguator. When you did that, you broke links to the A-Class review and it is now active and being discussed. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 20:01, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1st Armored Division (United States)

[edit]

Ooops! Ed you're right! I was so much looking for a better quality image than the one used, that I overlooked the writing! I changed it back and as there is no better quality SSI of the 1st AD I will just sit down and create one today. thanks for pointing out the embarrassing "slip of the pen". --noclador (talk) 07:39, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done: Image:1st US Armored Division SSI.png ->
--noclador (talk) 13:19, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]


and while I'm at it:

Question: Do the Armored Divisions beyond the 3rd have their nicknames on the SSIs too? or do they have just the number? looking at Category:Armored_divisions_of_the_United_States_Army it seems that only the first 3 Divs have the name in the SSI and all the other don't... can you clarify this issue for me??? as soon as I know, I will do all the remaining SSI of all the Armored Divs. --noclador (talk) 13:44, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Many of them do. I'm not sure how official this practice was though.

4th - Breakthrough 5th - Victory 6th - Super Sixth 7th - Lucky Seventh 8th - Thundering Herd / Iron Snake 9th - Phantom / Remagen 10th - Tiger 11th - Thunderbolt 12th - Speed Is the Password 13th - Black Cats 14th - Liberators 30th - Dixie 49th - Lone Star 50th - Jersey Blues

Thanks for the WikiChevrons Ed :-) Seeing my creations online is already a great satisfaction, but having the work then recognized too brings more joy and much refreshed vigor to create even more graphics :-) thanks again, and if there is some graphics you need: Just tell me :-) --noclador (talk) 13:18, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I have finished the GA review of 18th Military Police Brigade (United States), and the full review can be found at Talk:18th Military Police Brigade (United States)/GA1. I have put the article on hold for seven days to allow you time to address the minor issues I found. If you have questions, you can ask them on the review page or on my talk page.

WikiProject Good Articles Newsletter

Sorry about the delay. AWB has been having a few issues lately. Here is the august issue of the WikiProject Good Articles Newsletter! Dr. Cash (talk) 20:31, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I have completed the GA review of 220th Military Police Brigade (United States), with the review being located at Talk:220th Military Police Brigade (United States)/GA1. I have put the article on hold to allow you time to address the few minor concerns that I have found. If you have any questions, let me know on the review page or on my talk page. Thanks!

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of 360th Civil Affairs Brigade (United States), and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/agency/army/360ca-bde.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 17:51, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on 360th Civil Affairs Brigade (United States) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 00:39, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Altogether foolish move entirely. I didn't even get the chance to remove the copyrighted material, and by swatting the fly with a sledgehammer, the article, much of which was NOT copied, must be recreated. -Ed!(talk)(Hall of Fame) 02:28, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

41st Infantry Div. (United States)

[edit]

G'day Ed. I was rewriting the article on the 41st Infantry Division in my sandbox when someone came along and moved it. My intention was that this would replace the old article. I'll get cracking on it. Hawkeye7 (talk) 02:46, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Very good. I would recommend that 41st Infantry Div. (United States) be redirected to 41st Infantry Division (United States). I was going to just redirect it, but your version looks to be of higher quality. -Ed!(talk)(Hall of Fame) 03:13, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Another Graphic...

[edit]

I will do it on Saturday - I would do it immediately, but I'm away from my PC and won't get back to all my graphic files until Friday night. As soon as I'm home I will make and upload the new graphic (easy work - just a number needs to be changed), any other graphics you need - I have time this weekend ;-) --noclador (talk) 08:05, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Excellet! For now that's all I can think of, unless you want to consider converting some of the SSI from the Brigade Insignia of the United States Army page (something that the Institute of Heraldry seems to be doing at a slow pace) -Ed!(talk)(Hall of Fame) 15:47, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

List of Jamaicans

[edit]

Greetings,

You recently tagged List of Jamaicans with {{Refimprove}}. However the article is simply a list of names, most of which are links to articles about the individual listed. Any references will be in those articles. Are you sure it is necessary to cite all those references here as well? While I am not aware of any guideline on the topic, if memory serves, other similar lists do not cite references. If it is the red links you have concerns about then a more accurate approach would be to tag with {{Fact}} each of these (there are only a few). -Arb. (talk) 14:48, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I tagged it because, per Wikipedia:Lists#List_Content, the article still falls under the Verifiability policy. Since there are zero references on the page, I feel that it should be improved with references linking each name with Jamacia. Since many of the names are redlinked (and many of the bluelinked ones aren't sourced) I just put the template up that the whole thing needed references. This is simply a suggestion for improvement on my part. -Ed!(talk)(Hall of Fame) 15:46, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
