ER, it's a New Year, seems like if it was yesterday that I last spoke to you (or wrote (smile)). I think I took care if it. I can't do the same for the tables unless I eliminate the "sortable" part. What do you suggest? Tony the Marine ( talk) 19:08, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:408sqn 72.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 04:48, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
ER. you said: "The ref you have is U.S. Army. I added DoD (#73), but can't find sec 532(f). See my embedded comments in the workshop section. Can you find 532(f) or a USMC ref?" I think you meant (ref #72). Fixed. Tony the Marine ( talk) 05:19, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey ERcheck, thanks for your note. I'm not sure this sandbox effort is going anywhere, I had one note from Melanie a couple of weeks back and she's made no edits since Dec 14. I'm tempted to leave her one last notification of deletion, wait a few days, then blow the sucker away. What do you reckon? The Rambling Man ( talk) 07:51, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

hey, ERcheck, i would like to know why you deleted my "Pizza Hut" corrections about the number of employees and the customer mania headline? Please drop me a line via email, marilynspikes@msn.com.
It took me a long time to add those little 2 lines. I am new to writing on Wikipedia and i do wish to add more material, but if people such as yourself will simply delete my work, i feel discouraged from adding further information.
Please be so kind as to respond to me request?
—Preceding unsigned comment added by Marilynspikes ( talk • contribs) 15:35, 26 January 2008
Thank you so much for such a thorough response. It has really helped in re-installing my devout faith for Wiki. Many thanks and I will continue to add where I feel it is needed.
Thank you for all the links suggested, and I shall read them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marilynspikes ( talk • contribs) 22:31, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

You referred to this edit Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Eternal-Entropy/EternalEntropyWiki/Levels of Belief in a Statement as "Speedy Delete" which is an unusual (though probably warranted in this case) resolution for a malformed nomination. Are you planning to actually delete the malformed nom subpage? Or did you really mean "Speedy Close" (in this case I guess you can't really call it a "Speedy Keep" since it was never really nominated). If you're not going to delete the nomination page we should probably close it out on the nomination subpage with a "Speedy Close/Malformed Nomination" or something to that effect together with the mfd header and footer and move it to the log rather than just leave it out there hanging. I realize you only removed it an hour ago, I just wanted to jump on it before it gets forgotten as sometimes happens. My opinion is that we actually delete the nomination page, under G6/common sense. Thanks.-- Doug.( talk • contribs) 03:55, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:LMurray_Homeless2Harvard.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Project FMF ( talk) 14:34, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
I was working on the album page for "All Is Well" and typed the title into the search box. It redirects to the album "The Silver Lining". If you use a lower case 'i' in the word 'is' it works correctly. I don't know where or how to fix it. Maria202 ( talk) 21:01, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Thank you much. I think I did it right but I'm still a bit confused with the three redirect pages. If you could double check those for me I'd appreciate it. I'll see what I can find on Michael Smith and the song. Again, thank you for helping me. Maria202 ( talk) 03:08, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Me again. I was updating the leadin paragraph for the Clay Aiken aritcle and checked the link for Sir Robin. This character article has been redirected back to the Spamalot article. It's the only character this was done to. See these two links [ [3]] and [ [4]]. See also [ [5]], the Dec. 14th revision date and the Jan. 19th revision date. Could you take a look please and see what's going on? Thanks - Maria202 ( talk) 16:49, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi - you do realise you keep restoring a version of this article that says " Bonneville Radio fired him after enduring several years of his phoniness"? It's an attack page. I db-bio'd it because it doesn't show notability, but I've found a better early diff now which I'm going to restore. Black Kite 01:31, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm guessing you were being sincere, and not sarcastic, in your comment on my talk page. I just figured that since it hadn't been updated in Feb, the usual suspects weren't out and about to make the change. Otherwise, I would have discussed it a bit first. Let me know if you have any thoughts on what I selected. bahamut0013 ♠ ♣ 17:10, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
hey, I appreciated your editing of my user page, thankyou. What's up?-- Kiyarrlls ton 16:41, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
I noticed that you removed the speedy tag from this article, whilst like you (I assume) I don't think it fits with any of the speedy delete criteria I don't think any of the content is salvagable as an article and I don't see the advantage of having it in mainspace for another two days. With this in mind I started a thread here. Regards, Guest9999 ( talk) 19:35, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Taking a look at some of the suggested content, I looked at Carlson's patrol and was blown away--it's a great article. I definately favor featuring that one. I also realize that if we want to get some variety from our featured image, we should pick an older image, and the Image:DeadJapaneseGuadalcanal.jpg struck me as the better of the older ones. Following the Guadalcanal-ish "theme" going in my recommendations, I'd pick Robert E. Galer for the featured biography and the James Jones quote for the featured quote.
Thoughts? bahamut0013 ♠ ♣ 15:32, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading Image:LogoADA.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 13:39, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I saw that you deleted Image:Barack-obama-somali-elder-clothing.jpg based on CSD G4. However, unless I'm mistaken, the reason why it was previously deleted was because the licensing/Fair Use info was missing or incorrect. I fixed that info (see my note here), but you deleted it soon afterward. Is there some other reason why it was deleted again? If not, could you restore it? Cheers! -- Hux ( talk) 00:56, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Was going to inquire about this myself, but I see Hux beat me to it. The deletion reason you gave, G4, doesn't apply to what was originally a speedly delete [6]. I understand Hux fixed G12, and there is an ongoing discussion about including the image [7], so... maybe you were premature? Andyvphil ( talk) 13:27, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia without explaining the valid reason for the removal in the
edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been
reverted. Please make use of the

In the future, could you please sort Hawaii-related deletion discussions using the instructions found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Hawaii. Regardless of the content of this article, which I admit not having seen or having access to, the concept is a culturally-significant aspect of Hawaiiana and would qualify for any number of redirects in lieu of content. That the article was summarily deleted without any input from the Hawaii project is indicative of core problems related to the deletion process which are upheld by a group of people who are motivated by the idea of deletion rather than that of an informed opinion. — Viriditas | Talk 15:08, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, I read your note at Gimme's talkpage. Just to let you know that the bot does not promote or fail nominations, it merely archives them. See WP:FAC/ar for more details. In a nutshell it was failed by User:Scorpion0422 with this edit and this edit. Regards. Woody ( talk) 22:48, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
The reason it was failed is because of an ongoing discussion about incomplete lists. While the list did either contain or have links to lists that contained every winner, I decided to close it because of The Rambling Man's concerns that it was not the best idea to promote such lists until a resolution to the issue was found. Also, the discussion had been going on for a month and I checked with the nominating user before closing it. -- Scorpion 0422 01:28, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading

Oh. You didn't give me the chance to put a "hang on" tag on the page. Maybe I should have done more research into what makes it clear that a person is "notable" in Wikipedia terms. Dr.Anna Poletti is one of Australia's leading experts on zines and D.I.Y. publishing, as evidenced by the fact that Australia's most significant and eminent academic publishing house is about to publish her book on the topic. She is also one of the founders of Australia's National Young Writers' Festival and the yearly Critical Animals conference. Articles have been written in several national newspapers where she has provided expert comment. She has been extensively interviewed on the Australian Broadcasting Commission's Book Programme. I could provide links for these. Do you think this would be sufficient to establish the subject's notability? Thanks. Johannes.klabbers ( talk) 23:13, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

There is an anonymous user ( User:132.79.13.15), whom you have previously blocked for vandalism, that has vandalized my userpage a few times, seemingly in response for my reverting his/her vandalism of Marine Corps Martial Arts Program. Checking the IP, it seems to be a US Army domain (possibly Fort Belvoir), and some of the other contributions are mostly related to the Army. I've added another vandalism warning template on the talk page, but I doubt it will do any good. Do you think you could do something administrator-ly to discourage this vandalism, or at least keep it on your radar? I would appreciate the help. bahamut0013 ♠ ♣ 01:30, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Yes, there are definetly two different films. The 1937 one stars Bing Crosby, while the 1936 one is a short film nominated for an Oscar. On a second check, it looks like the NY Times page seems to have merged the two films together! I'll reference the Oscar nom on the '36 film from elsewhere. Thanks!

Found a similar situation: Repairables Management Division; a platoon-sized unit, a sub-unit of a company sized unit in a MALS. I couldn't agree that such a unit is inherantly notable, especially given the limited scope. It also has been primarily edited by T8765 ( talk · contribs), who has worked only on that article and linked it form one other. I can't think of a good place to merge it into, and I'm concerned about Marines opening single-purpose accounts to write about some old insignificant thing they did/wortked in/whatever when they were in the Corps. What do you think we should do with this article/user? bahamut0013 ♠ ♣ 14:59, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the improvements to the PIRAZ article. I noticed reviewing your work that you wrote the William L. Nyland article. Bill and I were NROTC classmates at the University of New Mexico when future Camp Pendleton commanding general Robert Haebel was the Marine Corps instructor at that unit. I particularly remember Bill spit-shining a pair of rough-out high-top boots during our 2/c midshipman cruise while the rest of us maintained indifferent attention to the finish of our low-cut boondockers. I wondered if you and I may have met? I think I have a photo of Bill as a midshipman if that would be appropriate for the article. Thewellman ( talk) 05:47, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Robert E.

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.

Hey, I just wanted to let you know: I'm not going to have computer access (after today) until the 3rd or so... If you can, you'll have to do the USMC portal update for September. If I come in and it's still on the current features, then I'll go ahead and change it (late is better than never, and we'll never get featured portal if it's consistantly stagnant). As it stands right now, I've kind of planning on a bit of a "theme" for the update.... Iwo Jima.

I have been working closely behind the scenes with family members and Congress on both cases. The only thing that I know is that the Department of Defense approved Peralta's nomination of the MOH and that the only thing that is keeping his MOH award is the signature of Pres. Bush (It is on his desk). In regard to Mendez, the Department of the Navy still has his MOH nomination on hold. I was informed about this by the office of Congressman J.

I'm sure you noticed that an editor has been constantly changing the wording of the United States Marine Corps article, specifically the subsection of addressing veterans, to be more POV toward those who have had a dishonorable discharge. Specifically, Wrestleforpizza & 71.123.16.83 have made identical changes (example: [10] & [11]). Wrestleforpizza has been warned once for this ( User_talk:Wrestleforpizza), and the anonymous IP has been warned 3 times and blocked ( User talk:71.123.16.83)... if you look at the history, you'll see that once the IP was blocked (03:49, 7 September), the person logged in and continued the same edits (16:59, 7 September 2008). I think it's safe to say that not only did the editor not get the hint, but that he has a single purpose account as well, and I would speculate that this individual has recieved a dishonorable discharge as well. I've also left this message at User talk:MBK004 (he was the blocking admin). bahamut0013 ♠ ♣ 15:59, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of hoovers hunters was too quick for any dispute to take place. The Battalion was number near the top of VC must capture list and Mr Hoover like Carlos Hathcock was one of the men on the VC most wanted dead or alive list. This article needs more recognition and is historically important. I would contribute more to it, If I had more free time to do so. I wish the article to be resumed soon or further disputed and not immediately deleted upon the opinion of one person. Many who served in Vietnam knew of Hoover's Hunters and were highly prized by the top brass in Washington. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Root Beers ( talk • contribs) 13:21, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

It truly is a shame that he wasn't awarded the MoH. It was approved and Pres. Bush had the papers of approval in his office. What happened? I can only speculate, however I read that the current administration is doing everything in their power to not award anything higher then the Bronze Star because according to "them," we are not involved in a "war," we are involved in a police operation and if the administration starts to award medals of valor, that would be an admission that we are indeed involved in a "war." You go figure it out.
I'll try to work on the article soon, my friend, my health isn't what it used to be, I can hardly walk and tomorrow I'm going to the hospital to find out what's going on. Tony the Marine ( talk) 02:23, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

My fellow comrades, I'm requesting your participation (opinion or suggestion) as an uninvolved party in the following consensus: Gen. Raymond T. Odierno in an effort to terminate an edit-war between the two parties involved . The issue involved has to do with the inclusion in Odierno's biogragpy his participation in the so-called "Surge" or to simply "link" said Surge to an article about said subject. Thank you.

Well my friend, I'm back from the cruise. The ship stopped in Catalina Island and in Ensenada Mexico. The last time I was in Mexico was in 1969, when I was sent to Camp Pendelton and I visited Tijuana. The thing about Ensenada that I had to see was La Bufadora and the Convention center which once was a casino owned by Al Capone. Semper Fi, Tony the Marine ( talk) 06:22, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
I think that the internet link is no longer posted, but the article came out on September 7, 2006, in "Claridad" a Puerto Rican monthy.
Title: "Projecto Wikipedia: realzando la presencia Boricua en sus pajinas" (Wikipedia project: The Puerto Rican (Boricua) presence in it's pages); Especial Para En Rojo (A Special in Red; by: David E. Miro Feliciano.
Mr. Feliciano has a user page here: User: Demf. It is in Spanish and reads like this:
"I (Feliciano) am not the "Boricua" (Puerto Rican) who has made the most contributions to Wikipedia, that honor belongs to Anthony Santiago, better known as "Tony the Marine", a Puerto Rican born in the Bronx, former member of the Armed Forces of the United States and Vietnam Veteran, believer in Puerto Rico's independence and who serves as an administrador in Wikipedia in English who resides in Arizona. Tony "The Marine" tends to locate new registered users in Wikipedia who are Puerto Ricans and help them guide as their mentor."

I agree with you on Battle of Belleau Wood, it's a very solid B-class that really ought to be rated higher than that.
For the biographies, I'm split. I'm reluctant to feature Gen Barrow so soon after his death; featuring a concurrently developing article seems like a bad idea to me because there exists the possibility that some changes may need to be made, depending on how things develop, besides, it's not as well developed as the others. I was leaning toward Cukela, but then I saw your point about perhaps featuring a lesser-known name, plus, the other two candidates actually were at Belleau Wood, and you know I love to connect the farious features. Cole's article is not in any shape to be featured in its current condition. Gen Shepard seems the best choice to me, and he gets my vote, unless you can improve Cole's article to B-class in a few days.

As a recently involved editor to the Richard Milhous Nixon article I would like to inform you that I nominated the article for WP:GA. Lets cross our fingers and hope for the best. Sadly, a recent dispute on the Talk:Barack Obama page has spilled over to other articles on the presidents. The Nixon article has gone through a few changes, but I reverted the changes with the argument that any consensus reached on the Obama talk page is not binding on other pages. An editor has asked for a discussion. If you would like to join in, please do so at Talk:Richard Nixon.-- Jojhutton ( talk) 02:33, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

The portal looks great as always. The thing that really caught my attention was the K-9 with the Purple Heart. You know last year someone told me that it wasn't far that military K-9's were not recognized and awarded military decorations for heroism. I just finished revamping my Irish immigration to Puerto Rico, the rewriet makes it practically brand new. You know, someone sent me an e-mail about a Captain in the Army who is blind.

This is not vandalism. I know for a fact, based on many reliable media sources and United States records, that Barack Obama has not yet confirmed with the government that he is American born and able to legally take office as the president. His birthplace should be removed from the article to avoid controversy. It should temporarily be prohibited to add this information. As a matter of fact, this article should be temporarily disabled from viewing until its content can be verified. It is impossible to verify anything at this time, as the media is putting its bias into the American's mind. I did not intend to vandalize this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JRH95 ( talk • contribs) 20:06, 3 December 2008

That is an awesome image! I remember doing mine on top of an obstacle course, and I've attended one where a MGySgt from Motor T did his on top of a wrecker. It would be a great image for the portal, but
the queue is filled up until March of 2010. If you end up uploading it, let me know and I'll caption it with the

There is a lot of crap going on in regard to Castor's notability in the Talk:Ivan Castro (soldier) apge. Plus, the marathon section has been decimated.

Tony the Marine ( talk) 18:27, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
I want to share with you that my DYK hook for Ivan Castro (soldier) drew 71,300 page views while it was featured on the Main Page. That's an all-time DYK record for most page views! The list of all-time top DYK page views can be seen here, and your Castro article is now #1: Wikipedia:DYKBEST#All-time best of DYK. I do not seek any congratulations because the disrespect towards the article and the decimation of the marathon section have discouraged me from ever nominating any of the articles that I create for "DYK" ever again. I want to thank you because you were an asset to the article with your copyediting. Tony the Marine ( talk) 06:02, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
I heppened upon William Gainey and thought the wording of the text was a little strange; seems almost as if his bio was copied and pasted from an Army website.

I'm planning to take on a project for the rest of the month, and I was wondering if you'd like to join me. I'm planning on replacing the award ribbons on various US military biography and unit pages with the new vector images. There is a .SVG file available for all US awards and most authorized foreign awards (see the templates:
interservice,
Army,
DoN,
USAF,
USCG, and
foreign). I'll also take the opportunity to replace ribbon rack images (where multiple awards are lumped into a single image) and create a ribbon rack table on articles that have a simple list (see
example ).
Are you interested in coordinating? If you are not, do you have any advice for me (I'm sure there is some WPBIO guideline I'm overlooking).

Yes, I found the same thing myself with the articles as well. There are so many great topics, but they are limited by what has been done. However, Wikipedia can only improve in the interveneing months, and the articles and bios we want to feature will get better until they are of the caliber needed to be featured on the portal. If not, a little cleanup and we can easily improve it to at least B-class. bahamut0013 ♠ ♣ 13:19, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

The navbox is for the utility of whomever is maintaining the portal, namely, me. I've noticed that when I'm doing some sort of work, I'm typing various page names over and over... It's just to navigate between the various pages the portal uses. I've added it to every portal page that might need periodic changes or fixes, excepting the monthly features. Obviously, not supposed to be visible by most users.
Not sure what you mean by extra white space. I see nothing in IE7 tht I didn't see before, but I suppose I can try deleting extra line breaks and let me know if that helps.

Just to let you know, I use publisher= all the time in cite news templates because work= forces on italics and thus isn't suitable for broadcast sources (CBS News, etc.). I also use cite news for news magazines and general purpose magazines and reserve cite journal for academic journals. I feel bad that you're going through John S. McCain, Jr. and doing lots of mundane work to change all these to the way you see best. I certainly don't object (it all comes out the same in how the article looks to the reader), but it's never my goal to make others do lots of busy work when I put articles up for review (if anyone should do busy work it's me) ...

Thanks for uploading Image:WakeIsland (1942 movie) cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 03:27, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

You referred to this edit Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Eternal-Entropy/EternalEntropyWiki/Levels of Belief in a Statement as "Speedy Delete" which is an unusual (though probably warranted in this case) resolution for a malformed nomination. Are you planning to actually delete the malformed nom subpage? Or did you really mean "Speedy Close" (in this case I guess you can't really call it a "Speedy Keep" since it was never really nominated). If you're not going to delete the nomination page we should probably close it out on the nomination subpage with a "Speedy Close/Malformed Nomination" or something to that effect together with the mfd header and footer and move it to the log rather than just leave it out there hanging. I realize you only removed it an hour ago, I just wanted to jump on it before it gets forgotten as sometimes happens. My opinion is that we actually delete the nomination page, under G6/common sense. Thanks.-- Doug.( talk • contribs) 03:55, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:LMurray_Homeless2Harvard.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Project FMF ( talk) 14:34, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
I was working on the album page for "All Is Well" and typed the title into the search box. It redirects to the album "The Silver Lining". If you use a lower case 'i' in the word 'is' it works correctly. I don't know where or how to fix it. Maria202 ( talk) 21:01, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Thank you much. I think I did it right but I'm still a bit confused with the three redirect pages. If you could double check those for me I'd appreciate it. I'll see what I can find on Michael Smith and the song. Again, thank you for helping me. Maria202 ( talk) 03:08, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Me again. I was updating the leadin paragraph for the Clay Aiken aritcle and checked the link for Sir Robin. This character article has been redirected back to the Spamalot article. It's the only character this was done to. See these two links [ [3]] and [ [4]]. See also [ [5]], the Dec. 14th revision date and the Jan. 19th revision date. Could you take a look please and see what's going on? Thanks - Maria202 ( talk) 16:49, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi - you do realise you keep restoring a version of this article that says " Bonneville Radio fired him after enduring several years of his phoniness"? It's an attack page.

I noticed that you removed the speedy tag from this article, whilst like you (I assume) I don't think it fits with any of the speedy delete criteria I don't think any of the content is salvagable as an article and I don't see the advantage of having it in mainspace for another two days.

Taking a look at some of the suggested content, I looked at Carlson's patrol and was blown away--it's a great article. I definately favor featuring that one. I also realize that if we want to get some variety from our featured image, we should pick an older image, and the Image:DeadJapaneseGuadalcanal.jpg struck me as the better of the older ones. Following the Guadalcanal-ish "theme" going in my recommendations, I'd pick Robert E. Galer for the featured biography and the James Jones quote for the featured quote.
Thoughts? bahamut0013 ♠ ♣ 15:32, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading Image:LogoADA.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 13:39, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I saw that you deleted Image:Barack-obama-somali-elder-clothing.jpg based on CSD G4. However, unless I'm mistaken, the reason why it was previously deleted was because the licensing/Fair Use info was missing or incorrect. I fixed that info (see my note here), but you deleted it soon afterward. Is there some other reason why it was deleted again? If not, could you restore it? Cheers! -- Hux ( talk) 00:56, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Was going to inquire about this myself, but I see Hux beat me to it. The deletion reason you gave, G4, doesn't apply to what was originally a speedly delete [6]. I understand Hux fixed G12, and there is an ongoing discussion about including the image [7], so... maybe you were premature? Andyvphil ( talk) 13:27, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

In the future, could you please sort Hawaii-related deletion discussions using the instructions found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Hawaii. Regardless of the content of this article, which I admit not having seen or having access to, the concept is a culturally-significant aspect of Hawaiiana and would qualify for any number of redirects in lieu of content. That the article was summarily deleted without any input from the Hawaii project is indicative of core problems related to the deletion process which are upheld by a group of people who are motivated by the idea of deletion rather than that of an informed opinion. — Viriditas | Talk 15:08, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, I read your note at Gimme's talkpage. Just to let you know that the bot does not promote or fail nominations, it merely archives them. See WP:FAC/ar for more details. In a nutshell it was failed by User:Scorpion0422 with this edit and this edit. Regards. Woody ( talk) 22:48, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
The reason it was failed is because of an ongoing discussion about incomplete lists. While the list did either contain or have links to lists that contained every winner, I decided to close it because of The Rambling Man's concerns that it was not the best idea to promote such lists until a resolution to the issue was found. Also, the discussion had been going on for a month and I checked with the nominating user before closing it. -- Scorpion 0422 01:28, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh. You didn't give me the chance to put a "hang on" tag on the page. Maybe I should have done more research into what makes it clear that a person is "notable" in Wikipedia terms. Dr.Anna Poletti is one of Australia's leading experts on zines and D.I.Y. publishing, as evidenced by the fact that Australia's most significant and eminent academic publishing house is about to publish her book on the topic. She is also one of the founders of Australia's National Young Writers' Festival and the yearly Critical Animals conference. Articles have been written in several national newspapers where she has provided expert comment. She has been extensively interviewed on the Australian Broadcasting Commission's Book Programme. I could provide links for these. Do you think this would be sufficient to establish the subject's notability? Thanks. Johannes.klabbers ( talk) 23:13, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

There is an anonymous user ( User:132.79.13.15), whom you have previously blocked for vandalism, that has vandalized my userpage a few times, seemingly in response for my reverting his/her vandalism of Marine Corps Martial Arts Program. Checking the IP, it seems to be a US Army domain (possibly Fort Belvoir), and some of the other contributions are mostly related to the Army. I've added another vandalism warning template on the talk page, but I doubt it will do any good. Do you think you could do something administrator-ly to discourage this vandalism, or at least keep it on your radar? I would appreciate the help. bahamut0013 ♠ ♣ 01:30, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Apologies for disturbing you on wikibreak. I was just doing some prod patrol and noticed that Electric zerobike didn't have a reason associated with it. I've added a prod-2, but thought it'd be best to drop you a note here. Many thanks, Gazimoff Write Read 01:03, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Yes, there are definetly two different films. The 1937 one stars Bing Crosby, while the 1936 one is a short film nominated for an Oscar. On a second check, it looks like the NY Times page seems to have merged the two films together! I'll reference the Oscar nom on the '36 film from elsewhere. Thanks!

Found a similar situation: Repairables Management Division; a platoon-sized unit, a sub-unit of a company sized unit in a MALS. I couldn't agree that such a unit is inherantly notable, especially given the limited scope. It also has been primarily edited by T8765 ( talk · contribs), who has worked only on that article and linked it form one other. I can't think of a good place to merge it into, and I'm concerned about Marines opening single-purpose accounts to write about some old insignificant thing they did/wortked in/whatever when they were in the Corps. What do you think we should do with this article/user? bahamut0013 ♠ ♣ 14:59, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the improvements to the PIRAZ article. I noticed reviewing your work that you wrote the William L. Nyland article. Bill and I were NROTC classmates at the University of New Mexico when future Camp Pendleton commanding general Robert Haebel was the Marine Corps instructor at that unit. I particularly remember Bill spit-shining a pair of rough-out high-top boots during our 2/c midshipman cruise while the rest of us maintained indifferent attention to the finish of our low-cut boondockers. I wondered if you and I may have met? I think I have a photo of Bill as a midshipman if that would be appropriate for the article. Thewellman ( talk) 05:47, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I just wanted to let you know: I'm not going to have computer access (after today) until the 3rd or so... If you can, you'll have to do the USMC portal update for September. If I come in and it's still on the current features, then I'll go ahead and change it (late is better than never, and we'll never get featured portal if it's consistantly stagnant). As it stands right now, I've kind of planning on a bit of a "theme" for the update.... Iwo Jima. All of my choices are on Portal:United States Marine Corps/Coordination, at the top of each respective list.

I have been working closely behind the scenes with family members and Congress on both cases. The only thing that I know is that the Department of Defense approved Peralta's nomination of the MOH and that the only thing that is keeping his MOH award is the signature of Pres. Bush (It is on his desk). In regard to Mendez, the Department of the Navy still has his MOH nomination on hold. I was informed about this by the office of Congressman J. Serrano who joined my quest after I got in touch with him. Tony the Marine ( talk) 05:28, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure you noticed that an editor has been constantly changing the wording of the United States Marine Corps article, specifically the subsection of addressing veterans, to be more POV toward those who have had a dishonorable discharge. Specifically, Wrestleforpizza & 71.123.16.83 have made identical changes (example: [10] & [11]). Wrestleforpizza has been warned once for this ( User_talk:Wrestleforpizza), and the anonymous IP has been warned 3 times and blocked ( User talk:71.123.16.83)... if you look at the history, you'll see that once the IP was blocked (03:49, 7 September), the person logged in and continued the same edits (16:59, 7 September 2008). I think it's safe to say that not only did the editor not get the hint, but that he has a single purpose account as well, and I would speculate that this individual has recieved a dishonorable discharge as well. I've also left this message at User talk:MBK004 (he was the blocking admin). bahamut0013 ♠ ♣ 15:59, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of hoovers hunters was too quick for any dispute to take place. The Battalion was number near the top of VC must capture list and Mr Hoover like Carlos Hathcock was one of the men on the VC most wanted dead or alive list. This article needs more recognition and is historically important. I would contribute more to it, If I had more free time to do so. I wish the article to be resumed soon or further disputed and not immediately deleted upon the opinion of one person. Many who served in Vietnam knew of Hoover's Hunters and were highly prized by the top brass in Washington. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Root Beers ( talk • contribs) 13:21, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

It truly is a shame that he wasn't awarded the MoH. It was approved and Pres. Bush had the papers of approval in his office. What happened? I can only speculate, however I read that the current administration is doing everything in their power to not award anything higher then the Bronze Star because according to "them," we are not involved in a "war," we are involved in a police operation and if the administration starts to award medals of valor, that would be an admission that we are indeed involved in a "war." You go figure it out.

I think that the internet link is no longer posted, but the article came out on September 7, 2006, in "Claridad" a Puerto Rican monthy.
Title: "Projecto Wikipedia: realzando la presencia Boricua en sus pajinas" (Wikipedia project: The Puerto Rican (Boricua) presence in it's pages); Especial Para En Rojo (A Special in Red; by: David E. Miro Feliciano.
Mr. Feliciano has a user page here: User: Demf. It is in Spanish and reads like this:
"I (Feliciano) am not the "Boricua" (Puerto Rican) who has made the most contributions to Wikipedia, that honor belongs to Anthony Santiago, better known as "Tony the Marine", a Puerto Rican born in the Bronx, former member of the Armed Forces of the United States and Vietnam Veteran, believer in Puerto Rico's independence and who serves as an administrador in Wikipedia in English who resides in Arizona. Tony "The Marine" tends to locate new registered users in Wikipedia who are Puerto Ricans and help them guide as their mentor."

I agree with you on Battle of Belleau Wood, it's a very solid B-class that really ought to be rated higher than that.
For the biographies, I'm split. I'm reluctant to feature Gen Barrow so soon after his death; featuring a concurrently developing article seems like a bad idea to me because there exists the possibility that some changes may need to be made, depending on how things develop, besides, it's not as well developed as the others. I was leaning toward Cukela, but then I saw your point about perhaps featuring a lesser-known name, plus, the other two candidates actually were at Belleau Wood, and you know I love to connect the farious features. Cole's article is not in any shape to be featured in its current condition. Gen Shepard seems the best choice to me, and he gets my vote, unless you can improve Cole's article to B-class in a few days.

As a recently involved editor to the Richard Milhous Nixon article I would like to inform you that I nominated the article for WP:GA. Lets cross our fingers and hope for the best. Sadly, a recent dispute on the Talk:Barack Obama page has spilled over to other articles on the presidents. The Nixon article has gone through a few changes, but I reverted the changes with the argument that any consensus reached on the Obama talk page is not binding on other pages. An editor has asked for a discussion. If you would like to join in, please do so at Talk:Richard Nixon.-- Jojhutton ( talk) 02:33, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks buddy, for your help. After I wrote the Jewish immigration to Puerto Rico article, I looked into the Chinese immigration to Puerto Rico and what I found was a poorly writen article without any sources and any truth to it. I decided to write a new version that would fit in with the other immigration articles that I have written. How do you like it? Tony the Marine ( talk) 00:57, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
Regarding your wipeout of my edit to Ann E. Dunwoody, Ironically, I was going to put "this may belong in another article - see talk page" in my edit comments for the 2nd edit, and open a talk page discussion immediately. I've put the proposed content and my own comments on Talk:Ann E. Dunwoody#Photo controversy discussion davidwr/( talk)/( contribs)/( e-mail) 02:16, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

You sure do get things done.
Have you seen Looper about lately? He hasn't been on Wikipedia very often in the last month or so, and when he has, it's been very brief. He mentiond he was moving more than a month ago.
I also wanted to let you know that I'll be deploying again to Iraq soon after the new year. The majority of updates will be dependant on you, though I will contribute as able while forward. I doubt very much I'll once leave Al Asad Airbase. Cheers. bahamut0013 ♠ ♣ 12:20, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I left you a short note about citations on the talk page for the Felt article. I'm out of my depth. No need to reply, just giving you a heads-up because of your remark there which seems to be related to the same problem. — LisaSmall T/ C 02:34, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Sorry I don't know much more about that picture than what I put out there. I got it from Gray Research center on Quantico and it was a government photo so its freely distributable but thats about all I know. You might try sending it to the Mairine Corps museum website or the Mairine Corps historical society they might know. -- Kumioko ( talk) 14:52, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
I'm starting to pre-load some of the 2009 portal updates. One thing about Feb: we both wanted to to an Iwo Jima theme, and I'd like to use Holland Smith as the article, but it's start class. Since you are the biography expert, I thought I'd point you in that direction (let me know if you think you can't get at it soon, I'll pick someone else, probably a MOH winner). bahamut0013 ♠ ♣ 21:55, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
The portal looks great as always. The thing that really caught my attention was the K-9 with the Purple Heart. You know last year someone told me that it wasn't far that military K-9's were not recognized and awarded military decorations for heroism. I just finished revamping my Irish immigration to Puerto Rico, the rewriet makes it practically brand new. You know, someone sent me an e-mail about a Captain in the Army who is blind. I'm going to check it out this week. Tony the Marine ( talk) 00:47, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

This is not vandalism. I know for a fact, based on many reliable media sources and United States records, that Barack Obama has not yet confirmed with the government that he is American born and able to legally take office as the president. His birthplace should be removed from the article to avoid controversy. It should temporarily be prohibited to add this information. As a matter of fact, this article should be temporarily disabled from viewing until its content can be verified. It is impossible to verify anything at this time, as the media is putting its bias into the American's mind. I did not intend to vandalize this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JRH95 ( talk • contribs) 20:06, 3 December 2008
Thanks for the "fun fact" and the ref. majic in my workshop. That Capt. Castro is something else isn't he? I got in touch with Brig. Gen. Hector E. Pagan Deputy commander of the Special Forces (He is the one who presented me with the excellence medal in Puerto Rico) and he has arranged my contact with Castro. I'll do it after I organize my research. Tony the Marine ( talk) 05:17, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
That is an awesome image! I remember doing mine on top of an obstacle course, and I've attended one where a MGySgt from Motor T did his on top of a wrecker. It would be a great image for the portal, but
the queue is filled up until March of 2010. If you end up uploading it, let me know and I'll caption it with the
Oath of enlistment.

There is a lot of crap going on in regard to Castor's notability in the Talk:Ivan Castro (soldier) apge. Plus, the marathon section has been decimated. I don't want the anger part of me to get the better part of me and I thought that you would like to look into this and comment. I can not get in touch with Castro as long as this foolisness goes on. Tony the Marine ( talk) 18:27, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
I want to share with you that my DYK hook for Ivan Castro (soldier) drew 71,300 page views while it was featured on the Main Page. That's an all-time DYK record for most page views! The list of all-time top DYK page views can be seen here, and your Castro article is now #1: Wikipedia:DYKBEST#All-time best of DYK. I do not seek any congratulations because the disrespect towards the article and the decimation of the marathon section have discouraged me from ever nominating any of the articles that I create for "DYK" ever again. I want to thank you because you were an asset to the article with your copyediting. Tony the Marine ( talk) 06:02, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
I heppened upon William Gainey and thought the wording of the text was a little strange; seems almost as if his bio was copied and pasted from an Army website. I was wondering if you had any thoughts on cleaning it up, or perchance would like to help. On a side note, I was wondering if you've heard anything about nominating another Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman anytime soon? bahamut0013 ♠ ♣ 20:28, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
I'm planning to take on a project for the rest of the month, and I was wondering if you'd like to join me. I'm planning on replacing the award ribbons on various US military biography and unit pages with the new vector images. There is a .SVG file available for all US awards and most authorized foreign awards (see the templates:
interservice,
Army,
DoN,
USAF,
USCG, and
foreign). I'll also take the opportunity to replace ribbon rack images (where multiple awards are lumped into a single image) and create a ribbon rack table on articles that have a simple list (see
example ).
Are you interested in coordinating? If you are not, do you have any advice for me (I'm sure there is some WPBIO guideline I'm overlooking).

Yes, I found the same thing myself with the articles as well. There are so many great topics, but they are limited by what has been done. However, Wikipedia can only improve in the interveneing months, and the articles and bios we want to feature will get better until they are of the caliber needed to be featured on the portal. If not, a little cleanup and we can easily improve it to at least B-class. bahamut0013 ♠ ♣ 13:19, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
YOU ARE CHEATING ON ME WITH THE AIR FORCE PORTAL!!!! YOU MANWHORE!!!!!
:D It's good to see initiative like that. Would you like me to help? bahamut0013 ♠ ♣ 12:48, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
The navbox is for the utility of whomever is maintaining the portal, namely, me. I've noticed that when I'm doing some sort of work, I'm typing various page names over and over... It's just to navigate between the various pages the portal uses. I've added it to every portal page that might need periodic changes or fixes, excepting the monthly features. Obviously, not supposed to be visible by most users.
Not sure what you mean by extra white space. I see nothing in IE7 tht I didn't see before, but I suppose I can try deleting extra line breaks and let me know if that helps.

Merry Christmas, dear friend. Hope things are pleasant for you and yours.
On an unrelated note, you may be interested in User:Bahamut0013/ribbon workshop as a tool for future biography work. Copy and paste!
Also unrelated: have you ever noticed the striking similarity between the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal ribbon and the Yangtze Service Medal ribbon? The heraldry folks must have had a slow night.

Just to let you know, I use publisher= all the time in cite news templates because work= forces on italics and thus isn't suitable for broadcast sources (CBS News, etc.). I also use cite news for news magazines and general purpose magazines and reserve cite journal for academic journals. I feel bad that you're going through John S. McCain, Jr. and doing lots of mundane work to change all these to the way you see best. I certainly don't object (it all comes out the same in how the article looks to the reader), but it's never my goal to make others do lots of busy work when I put articles up for review (if anyone should do busy work it's me) ... Wasted Time R ( talk) 22:34, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
Since you're looking at my contribs, look past the surface and ask why I was editing those templates? I was doing a cleanup on Category:United States military navigational boxes.
