Hi, I see that Wikipedia's got just about everything related to military decorations and I found your userpage. I'm trying to design some ribbons for this online game I'm playing and I'm trying to see what editors here are using for the overlaying horizontal lines to imitate the cloth stitching of the ribbons. Is there a simple file on wikipedia I could just overlay as a new layer? Thanks a lot for your help! Great work with Ribbon Workshop by the way! - Jameson L.

Yes..very confusing! I'll elaborate much I can...tell me what you come up with and I'll send suggestions if you'd like.
The STA and Scout Sniper Platoons are indeed separate platoons and assets...but they both originated from the same school. Similar trade in skills, but the commanders use these separately for different missions, accordingly. And not sure why there are 'two' articles about Marine snipers....the Scout Sniper and Scout Sniper Platoon? Two different articles incorporating information about the same exact unit.
However, the Scout (Tank) Company are a WWII-era unit that dissolved momentarily after the end of the war—this has to be separated because three to four different Marine units originate from this 'one' asset that used to exist—it must be treated as a History reference for the other articles that pertain to it.
Scout (Tank) Company of WWII era is the patron of all these assets...Division Recon Co/Bn, S/S and STA Plts, and the LAR bn.

My friend Bob, I read the article, as a matter of fact someone else had sent me the same one. I for one believe what is being said. Anyone who has read the story of that island will read a story of horror and abuse by the United States (our country) on that poor island and it's people. We tend to look and criticize the abuses and violations of human rights of other countries, but when it comes to looking at our own back yard we tend to look the other way because we are the "almighty" ones who could do no wrong. We have to clean our own house before we can tell others to clean theirs.
1. Puerto Ricans have been the subject of human experimentation's for sometime now. In the late 1930s, Dr. Cornelius Rhodes injected Puerto Rican patients with cancer cells, Rhodes wrote:
"the Porto Ricans (sic) are beyond doubt the dirtiest, laziest, most degenerate and thievish race of men ever inhabiting this sphere. It makes you sick to inhabit the same island with them..What the island needs is not public health work, but a tidal wave or something to totally exterminate the population..I have done my best to further the process of extermination by killing off eight and transplanting cancer into several more..The matter of consideration for the patients' welfare plays no role here - in fact, all physicians take delight in the abuse and torture.."
2. Beginning in the years following WW I, a program was initiated by the United States government, the medical community and the local government of Puerto Rico, to name a few, which resulted in the unprecedented sterilization of 1/3 of the female population by 1965, and the continued use of sterilization on a broad scale by Puerto Rican women as a form of birth control. The real reasons behind the sterilization campaigns were not justified at all. One of the reasons was that Puerto Rico was a U.S. colony, so there was still the idea of Manifest Destiny. The United States felt that they could do whatever they wanted to the Puerto Ricans because they were inferior.
3. What about Agent Orange? First introduced in 1946 in the agricultural farms of Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. Agent Orange tested by the US military in El Yunque National Rain Forrest and Vieques before being used in Vietnam. The list goes on and on. Semper Fi, Tony the Marine ( talk) 23:37, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, actually I learned about the current situation of Vieques thanks to your link and I got carried away with the subject. -- Jmundo ( talk) 23:54, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

This is an unfortuante fact of this site, but we sadly have some editors who are extremely anti-Amrican and very much anti-U.S. military. If that is indeed your real name on the front page, I would recommend taking it off and asking an administrator to purge it from edit histories. Having your real name invites identity theft and also encourages people with a beef against the U.S. military to possibly try and get you in trouble. When I had more personal info about me on this site (including a picture) I deployed to the Middle East and it went from an occassional crack against the Navy (being called a squid) to an outright assault on my family. I had threatening e-mails, comments made about my wife, attempts to contact my real world unit CO in the Middle East, and in the ultimate extreme of another user pretty much going crazy, a criminal charge was filed against me at a police station in England (it was obviously thrown out since I was 7000 miles away in the Middle East). Anyway, you just never know. Stumple across the wrong person on this website and you could be in for some very serious problems. This also ties into our anti-terrorism training about posting real world info about military members on the web (although that mainly applies to deployments, troop movements, etc). Anyway, just some advice here from an O-4 with 14 years in. I'd take all your personal stuff off the site like your name, etc. Saying your a Marine is fine, but drawing attention to it isnt a good idea. Best wishes, go Marines! - OberRanks ( talk) 14:21, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

No, I am not really interested in joining WikiProject Military History, because there is little I could add there. It seems that editors on that project are really interested in making things better, and also really helpful to people who have military articles but for which those are not their primary focus (such as me). Thank you all for your help and I will ask you for it soon again, but I don't think I could be useful to your project as a member.
To remove any doubt, I am not the Simon Trew, the military historian from Sandhurst. But I am Simon Trew. We very occasionally get confused because I worked for British Aerospace Defence for many years, but it is not common. I only say so because if anywhere there will be confusion it will be at Military History, and the fact that I am translating central European articles (one was marked as Balkan, another as German, both of which are entirely wrong) probably does not help because that is his speciality. It is my birthname and I and am quite entitled to it, as is he. I come here with clean hands using my real name.
It is very rare to get us confused, but I say so here so that on a search etc it is quite clear,

That is all in need. I didn't mean for the fascist to get on the Iowo Jima Flag case. I believed that the Iconic Image of the Flag Raising was within reason and since it has never been questioned that it would serve as an example, that's all. It didn't result that way and I'm sorry about that. Hey, I'm not offended or nothing (smile), it happens. Tony the Marine ( talk) 23:04, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

To all my friends in Wikipedia. After so many years I have decided to take an extended leave from the project. My continued participation in the project has become less enjoyable as I have explained [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikiquette_alerts#User:Damiens.rf_should_be_told_to_stop_his_rudeness_and_Wikihounding here]. I thank God that I became involved in the project in the first place because not only have I used it to educate others, but I have also learned a lot from friends such as yourself. Try to maintain a high standard in your contributions and make sure that the truth is always told in what you write. I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year, may God Bless you and thank you for your friendship. Tony the Marine ( talk) 02:35, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

(outdent) I think I know how you became a target, so to speak. You were helpful and made a change to his userpage in February. I think his "friend" found you in the edit history and decided to screw with you. Not an impressive showing. Horologium (talk) 13:08, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
My friend Bob, I read the article, as a matter of fact someone else had sent me the same one. I for one believe what is being said. Anyone who has read the story of that island will read a story of horror and abuse by the United States (our country) on that poor island and it's people. We tend to look and criticize the abuses and violations of human rights of other countries, but when it comes to looking at our own back yard we tend to look the other way because we are the "almighty" ones who could do no wrong. We have to clean our own house before we can tell others to clean theirs.
1. Puerto Ricans have been the subject of human experimentation's for sometime now. In the late 1930s, Dr. Cornelius Rhodes injected Puerto Rican patients with cancer cells, Rhodes wrote:
"the Porto Ricans (sic) are beyond doubt the dirtiest, laziest, most degenerate and thievish race of men ever inhabiting this sphere. It makes you sick to inhabit the same island with them..What the island needs is not public health work, but a tidal wave or something to totally exterminate the population..I have done my best to further the process of extermination by killing off eight and transplanting cancer into several more..The matter of consideration for the patients' welfare plays no role here - in fact, all physicians take delight in the abuse and torture.."
2. Beginning in the years following WW I, a program was initiated by the United States government, the medical community and the local government of Puerto Rico, to name a few, which resulted in the unprecedented sterilization of 1/3 of the female population by 1965, and the continued use of sterilization on a broad scale by Puerto Rican women as a form of birth control. The real reasons behind the sterilization campaigns were not justified at all. One of the reasons was that Puerto Rico was a U.S. colony, so there was still the idea of Manifest Destiny. The United States felt that they could do whatever they wanted to the Puerto Ricans because they were inferior.
3. What about Agent Orange? First introduced in 1946 in the agricultural farms of Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. Agent Orange tested by the US military in El Yunque National Rain Forrest and Vieques before being used in Vietnam. The list goes on and on.

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, actually I learned about the current situation of Vieques thanks to your link and I got carried away with the subject. -- Jmundo ( talk) 23:54, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your note. I'm fine - just extremely busy in RL. How about you? Hope all is well and you are staying safe. — ERcheck ( talk) 06:39, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
Congratulations, Sergeant. And thank you for your service to our country. -- Orlady ( talk) 14:19, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
This is an unfortuante fact of this site, but we sadly have some editors who are extremely anti-Amrican and very much anti-U.S. military. If that is indeed your real name on the front page, I would recommend taking it off and asking an administrator to purge it from edit histories. Having your real name invites identity theft and also encourages people with a beef against the U.S. military to possibly try and get you in trouble. When I had more personal info about me on this site (including a picture) I deployed to the Middle East and it went from an occassional crack against the Navy (being called a squid) to an outright assault on my family. I had threatening e-mails, comments made about my wife, attempts to contact my real world unit CO in the Middle East, and in the ultimate extreme of another user pretty much going crazy, a criminal charge was filed against me at a police station in England (it was obviously thrown out since I was 7000 miles away in the Middle East). Anyway, you just never know. Stumple across the wrong person on this website and you could be in for some very serious problems. This also ties into our anti-terrorism training about posting real world info about military members on the web (although that mainly applies to deployments, troop movements, etc). Anyway, just some advice here from an O-4 with 14 years in. I'd take all your personal stuff off the site like your name, etc. Saying your a Marine is fine, but drawing attention to it isnt a good idea. Best wishes, go Marines! - OberRanks ( talk) 14:21, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

No, I am not really interested in joining WikiProject Military History, because there is little I could add there. It seems that editors on that project are really interested in making things better, and also really helpful to people who have military articles but for which those are not their primary focus (such as me). Thank you all for your help and I will ask you for it soon again, but I don't think I could be useful to your project as a member.
To remove any doubt, I am not the Simon Trew, the military historian from Sandhurst. But I am Simon Trew. We very occasionally get confused because I worked for British Aerospace Defence for many years, but it is not common. I only say so because if anywhere there will be confusion it will be at Military History, and the fact that I am translating central European articles (one was marked as Balkan, another as German, both of which are entirely wrong) probably does not help because that is his speciality. It is my birthname and I and am quite entitled to it, as is he. I come here with clean hands using my real name.
It is very rare to get us confused, but I say so here so that on a search etc it is quite clear,

Thanks, I am sure I will make a few from time to time. Looks like Ill be going out to the sandbox in a few months so maybe Ill be able to find some free time to do some edits while Im there. -- Kumioko ( talk) 02:24, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi! As you have expressed an interest in the initial The Great Wikipedia Dramaout, you're being notified because we are currently planning another one in January! We hope to have an even greater level of participation this time around, and we need your help. If you're still interested please sign up now at Wikipedia:The Great Wikipedia Dramaout/2nd. Thanks, and Happy Holidays! JCbot ( talk) 04:25, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
That is all in need. I didn't mean for the fascist to get on the Iowo Jima Flag case. I believed that the Iconic Image of the Flag Raising was within reason and since it has never been questioned that it would serve as an example, that's all. It didn't result that way and I'm sorry about that. Hey, I'm not offended or nothing (smile), it happens. Tony the Marine ( talk) 23:04, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

To all my friends in Wikipedia. After so many years I have decided to take an extended leave from the project. My continued participation in the project has become less enjoyable as I have explained [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikiquette_alerts#User:Damiens.rf_should_be_told_to_stop_his_rudeness_and_Wikihounding here]. I thank God that I became involved in the project in the first place because not only have I used it to educate others, but I have also learned a lot from friends such as yourself. Try to maintain a high standard in your contributions and make sure that the truth is always told in what you write. I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year, may God Bless you and thank you for your friendship. Tony the Marine ( talk) 02:35, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
