just read and found that its already posted ---- never mind SoilMan2007 ( talk)
Can someone who knows clear up this confusion for me? Did Pyle coin this phrase, and if so, where? Can anyone enlighten me? thanks. Leeborkman 01:53, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
The citation given for the number of gunshot wounds and the condition of Pyle's body does not actually contain that information. The cited piece alternately claims it was a sniper or a machine gun nest, but does not describe the body.
Itobo 05:37, 7 September 2007 (UTC)Thank you for that. I have a more contemporary source that speaks of only one bullet, so I'll use that.

Reads like a review, unsourced statements, out of chronological order. Links in the References area don't lead anywhere. Description of Pyle's death reads like a novel. Very un-Wiki. I'm either tagging it, or doing a complete meltdown on it. Ernie Pyle is a hero of mine, and this article does not do him either justice or honor. -- Elaich talk 04:11, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Since it was taken by the military, is it a work of the federal government and therefore in the public domain? If so, should it be added to the article? http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2004161868_weberniepyle03.html -- Lukobe ( talk) 00:14, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
I heard a veteran who was on Okinawa say that Pyle was actually killed by friendly fire. 88.217.22.120 ( talk) 12:52, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
He was married, divorced, remarried to his 1st wife. Did they have kids? What became of his widow? Rklawton ( talk) 05:36, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
There seems to be something missing in the second paragraph. "By the war" doesn't make sense. Should it be "By the end of the war?" 71.226.213.2 ( talk) 03:35, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Although Pyle served in the United States Navy during World War I era, no reliable sources found as of yet state that he served overseas during the war. The Wikipedia article says he served stateside during the war. Accordingly, Category:American military personnel of World War I was removed from the article. Semper Fi!

Pyle was quoted to have been the man with the "ability to put a human face on a dehumanizing war."
He became the soldier's journalist with good reason, his skills with a typewriter brought the everyday, grueling lives of American soldiers to our front doors, paving a path into their experiences and tragedies. He became an advocate for the equal treatment of those serving within the military, leading to the creation of such acts as the "Ernie Pyle bill".
I am a journalism student studying at UCLAN. As part of my course, I have been given an assignment to write an essay on the lives of past and present war correspondents; in this I will compare and contrast the similarities and differences of Ernie Pyle and a modern journalist of my choice. I am planning on including an in-depth analysis of his journalistic skills and traits within his Wikipedia page because this will help me to compare past writing styles to more modern ways of reporting, this will also help to develop my own studies and writing skills. I would also like to include a section on Ernie Pyle's impact on modern-day war reporting and journalism

Small note, it is mentioned that his most famous article was published on January 10, 1944 during the Battle of Anzio. The Battle of Anzio started on January 22, 1944. 65.254.18.190 ( talk) 14:02, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
