Thanks for your help, we will improve this article further (B-Class, or more :-))- Yours in Scouting Phips ( talk) 21:40, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
I have once again removed this category from Ken Phelps. I can find no article on Wikipedia for "Phelps family", and it apparently isn't important enough to be mentioned anywhere in the Ken Phelps article, nor on its talk page. Unless someone puts something in the article text, with proper citation, I will continue to remove the category from that page.
On a broader scale, I would like to know what the "Phelps family" is, why it's notable, and how one determines whether or not its category (and, for that matter, any of the nebulous "American families" subcategories) belongs on a particular page. I have asked at the parent category's talk page twice now with no answer. Perhaps you can help me. - Dewelar ( talk) 05:39, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
It seems that you and I are either one and the same, or somehow a pair of now separated but previously joined Siamese twins with a single brain. [1] And I'm a meatpuppet? <sarcasm>Maybe I should never agree with another editor again, or just mind my own business and stick to editing Wildfire. [2] Or maybe you're a meatpuppet and I'm influencing you to edit war-, history-, and scouting-related articles, [3] even though I can't get the boys in my ward's Priests Quorum (I'm the advisor) to think about anything other than basketball and paintball.</sarcasm> MrBell ( talk) 17:14, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Seems someone has been visiting. The other day I had a strange request too. [4] Any thoughts? And what's this about WTC and a testimony? World Trade Center? Wu-Tang Clan? With Tons of Chili? MrBell ( talk) 19:47, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi there. I noticed you're writing TD battalion articles - finally, someone else, hurrah!
I'm not so sure about the unit links, though. As far as I know, no other country employed anything named a "tank destroyer battalion", with the possible exception of a loose translation of the German panzerjager battalions, and they certainly didn't have the very high unit numbers that the American ones do. As such, I don't think we need to disambiguate them by adding (United States) at the end - certainly the existing ones don't use this, and it's never proven a problem.
If you do think this is a likely problem, though, let me know and I'll look into the legwork of changing them all and setting up redirects. Shimgray | talk | 21:39, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

You'd think some dweeb would have better things to do on a Friday night other than hiding behind an anon IP and leaving crap on talk pages. Oh, well.. He now has a new hobby for the next month. :) -- PMDrive1061 ( talk) 02:55, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
Shubinator ( talk) 06:27, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
Why did switch the image on the one man and one woman userbox? Was there something offensive about my image? If the GLBT community have their flag on their userboxes, why not the heterosexuals? I think the flag I created is much better that having the male and female symbols. So could you please change it back to (Preferably) that flag or the two wedding bells that I created.

Hello. I noticed you were one of the users involved in improving the 32nd Infantry Division article. As a Wikipedian who focuses on US Army units, I thought I would lend a hand in improving it as much as possible. If you need anything, please let me know! - Ed! (talk) 23:03, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
The GA review for the article is underway. The reviewer put the article on hold pending some improvements. I've started to fix some of the things he pointed out, but some of them will require additional verification from your sources.- Ed! (talk) 18:53, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed you've contributed to Battle of Buna-Gona previously. I've loaded a photograph on the talk page which I think would be useful for the article, however I'm conscious it may be seen as contentious. If you would like to express a view, it would be helpful. Thanks.-- Goldsztajn ( talk) 08:47, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your input on Coats of arms of U.S. Infantry Regiments. I've posted on the talk page there a clarification of the method to my madness in editing the page. It may appear to be inconsistent to leave some entries that lack an image while deleting others. But, I attempted to leave entries that provided a link to an external site with a COA image. I only attempted to remove entries lacking any such reference. Hope this clears things up. I've gone back and redone the other changes I made but left intact your undo on entries lacking COA images and links to images. I look forward to continuing to work together to make this article even better. Otownfla ( talk) 12:16, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
No worries on your edit; I know you're busy working on many other articles. I went back and redid the undone corrections. Thanks for your work. Otownfla ( talk) 12:02, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Brother Phelps: I realize that you are related to W. W. Phelps. I've been reading through the hymnal and wonder if you might offer some insight: what does the line mean, "There is no end to race"? 64.244.80.202 ( talk) 15:58, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
You were suggesting back way when that the two 504th Regiment articles need to be merged. I think no one is going to oppose this as this is in line with article naming guidelines, so can do it quite safely...and carefully as the non (United States) named article has many redlinks that need to be fixed -- 121.217.20.152 ( talk) 23:25, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Have you considered putting this up for GA again? User:Maunus is a good and fair reviewer. I can ask him to review it. I'm making this our portal article of the month for Nov. — Rlevse • Talk • 02:02, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
I've migrated about 20KB of content to NYLT and the U.S. Wood Badge articles, along with some additional pruning, to bring the article size down to 60KB. Other issues also addressed. Will re-submit for GA review. -- btphelps ( talk) ( contribs) 06:56, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
