602 ACS and 606 ACS are both listed in this table, and while I could follow the data at the page entries (eg 602 SOS), I can see by your edits that sometimes they're incorrect. Would you please take a look, and if you'd like to check comparable tables at MiG-21 and MiG-19 that might be a public service. All warmest - best wishes for the Christmas hols!! Buckshot06 (talk) 23:21, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
I wasn't aware of any A-1 losses in air to air combat during the war. Both the victories in the article are unreferenced and one in particular might be marked dubious.

[1] this edit put the article straight into the U.S. military units in WW II main cat, which has 902 articles in it, many USAAF. It desperately needs articles moved into the subcats. Articles like this should be placed straight into the AAF unit size cat, which is part of that main cat. Cheers Buckshot06 (talk) 22:22, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Greetings,
You seem to be the go-to expert on US Air Force unit organizations and lineages. Do you know where I could find either the parent organization, or even better, seperate lineage and awards info for the "Aerospace Physiology Training Department, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH"? The APTD was my dad's first assigned unit (1971-'87).
As for the APTD's parent organization, there's several possibilities which I have tried to look into, all without success:
I know he was also connected to the hyperbaric (hypobaric?) medicine department at Wright-Patt both before and as it was being established as a seperate organization at somepoint within that timeframe, so whatever organization it sprang from, would seem to of been his parent unit.
Thank you for any info. Gecko G ( talk) 21:44, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
(I have a gap in my information during the late 1980s, when USAF did a lot of renumbering and renaming of medical units, so I don't know it the following is a redesignation or a new unit)
Sorry LG I don't understand this. It needs to be in a root category, 'X wings of the United States Air Force'; it can't just be in mil-units-and-formations-formed-in-x category, nobody will ever be able to find it thru the category structure... Buckshot06 (talk) 06:59, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article 563d Rescue Group you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Concertmusic -- Concertmusic ( talk) 15:41, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
As you may know, I am working on the GA review for 563d Rescue Group. Progress is slow but steady. Having said that, I had no issues yesterday, but starting just about 15 minutes ago, the links in that article to the Air Force fact sheets are all broken, as it appears that the Air Force has just moved fact sheets to another location. This may have a far-reaching impact for many of your articles. If you would be so kind as to have a look at this particular article, and to fix those links; at a glance, not only did the location change, but some of the actual fact sheets have changed as well. That would allow me to carry on with the review as quickly as possible. I am sorry if I am the bearer of bad news! -- Concertmusic ( talk) 18:16, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
The article 563d Rescue Group you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:563d Rescue Group for things which need to be addressed.

Please see this post on the GA review page for 563d Rescue Group - thank you!
I just went over the above GA review notes, and am finding that there really is just one final item left, which needs to be done across all of the sections under Lineage. It has to do with the fact that you cannot have an overarching reference just on the final bulleted item in a bulleted list - as it then appears that just that row is being referenced. Therefore, if you could have a quick introductory sentence under the header of each section that describes the section, and then hang the reference off that sentence (inside the colon) - that will get this item taken care of.
The intro sentence could be as little as "Assignments of the 563d Rescue Group from 1944 to present:", and then have Reference 50 at the end of that sentence. Specifically, for the Lineage section, you could either do the intro sentence, as described, and add Reference 50 at the end of that sentence, or you could add Reference 50 at the end of each of the 3 bullets.
For the Assignments sections, you need to have that intro sentence, and hang Reference 50 off it - the only other choice is to add the reference to each bullet, which is a mess. It is then also made clear that reference 50 is for the entire section, and Reference 51 is for just that last bullet.
Same for all of the other sections except Detachments, which is fine the way it is. If that can get done, I believe we can pass this article as a GA!
Thank you! -- Concertmusic ( talk) 17:38, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
The article 563d Rescue Group you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:563d Rescue Group for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

Good Evening Lineagegeek,
I wish to add information to Wikipedia regarding the 46th Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron, currently it links to 46th Fighter Training Squadron but I see we also have a 46th Reconnaissance Squadron article is their anyway you can check to see if the unit is a rebrand of the Fighter Training Squadron ? If it does I want to move the Fighter Training Squadron article over to the Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron name.

Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to
302d Airlift Wing. I did have one note for you. I am working on a maintenance project to clean up
Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see
WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this: |image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]
, instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do: |image=SomeImage.jpg
. There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption
. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recetly added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!!

For your sterling work on Draft:1st Expeditionary Rescue Group. Buckshot06 (talk) 12:14, 20 August 2016 (UTC) |
I found it through a link -- another editor appears to have abandoned it. I need to finish up WW II, then get an admin to move it to mainspace (there's a redirect there now).
And what, relating to the Second World War, are ASWAAF and SCARWAF? AAF sure, but what? Buckshot06 (talk) 12:27, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
These terms refer to units from other branches (other than Air Corps) that were assigned to the AAF or overseas Air Forces. Few were assigned to combat units at the group level or below (perhaps some Chemical Companies, Air Operations) after 1943 (for a short time tactical groups had an Ordnance Company, Aviation assigned or attached). They were assigned to service or depot groups. At Wing level and above, just about every headquarters had some sort of signal company. Common units were Quartermaster Truck Companies, Aviation; Ordnance Supply & Maintenance Companies, Aviation; Signal Companies, Service Group; Engineer Aviation Fire Fighting Platoons; Engineer Aviation Battalions; Military Police Companies, Aviation (Overseas only after 1942 -- the ones in the US were converted to Air Corps units as Guard Squadrons). I believe the last of these went out around the mid-1950s at Wolters and Beale Air Force Bases when the last Engineer Aviation units inactivated.
G'day Lineagegeek, I'd like you to consider nominating as a coord this year. You've been around the project for long enough, know how things work, and are a prolific content contributor. No pressure, but we could do with some new blood keeping the wheels turning. Cheers, Peacemaker67 ( click to talk to me) 03:45, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
When you create new redirects, would you please mind adding the defining category, in accordance with WP:CATDEF? For example, with 2d Liaison Flight, I added Category:Flights of the United States Air Force, and would have added Cat:Liaison Flights of the United States Air Force if that category existed.

Hi Lineagegeek, every so often the editors of the Milhist newsletter, the Bugle, run an interview with members of the project.

We always like to get the Bugle out by the 7th of the month, so allowing for some tidy-up before despatch, if you could complete your answers within two weeks, i.e. around 2nd November, that'd be great.

Hi Lineagegeek! I noticed that you had
changed the assessment of
102d Intelligence Wing from A-Class to C-Class by removing the |A-Class=
parameter from the template. Unfortunately, doing it this way causes an error to be flagged by the A-Class tracking function built into the template, since it looks as though there's a phantom A-Class review that's not properly listed in the assessment. I've restored the parameter for now; if we want to demote the article, the clean way to do it would be to create a (new) re-assessment A-Class review and then close it with |A-Class=demoted
.
(I think the article is also listed as a GA; that should probably get re-assessed as well if we drop the A-Class rating.) Kirill Lokshin ( talk) 22:08, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi thanks for the feedback & compliment on the ID. Thanks also for correcting my miserable mistake regarding the obs/aero squadron lineal connections. It took me all of 1 minute to confirm in Maurer what you were saying. I should've checked in the first place, but I made the mistake of generalizing information I looked at on the 104th Obs Squadron (which had no connection to the 104th Aero Squadron, as the wiki said) to the other observation squadrons. Thanks for undoing it and thanks even more for letting me know the source. A valuable lesson in not jumping to conclusions! Also a note re: Clay. I've found some of his information questionable. I suspect some of what he presents on the obs squadrons existed on paper but was not reflected in reality. I'm still researching it (for a book I'm writing on the MD ANG), so I can't say he's definitively wrong, but I would cross-check Clay with other sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alltheuseridsiwantedweretaken ( talk • contribs) 11:23, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.
For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert ( talk) & MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello Lineagegeek,
Can you please see if the 4th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron is connected to 4th Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron, I been looking at [4] and I don't think it is connected but I wanted to double check with you before I change anything.
Gavbadger ( talk) 13:55, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
Thanks very much for the correction to my date range edits in several articles. I was going by the old standard and didn't know it had changed. Note, however, that in your reversions you brought along several of my other edits to the articles. It is probably a better approach to just make the corrections to the problematic part, in this case the date range, instead of reverting.
With regard to the location of the unit emblem, I am following Template:Infobox military unit which reserves for the inbox's "image" field "[a]n image of the unit insignia (cap badges, tartan or colours), if available; other images may be used if this cannot be obtained."
Thanks again for bringing me up to speed on the date ranges! Ocalafla ( talk) 14:34, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

Please read and understand MOS:JOBTITLES and MOS:MILTERMS, then revisit 20th Fighter Squadron. Stars have nothing to do with the capitalization; if it is necessary to stress that he had four stars, you could say "as a four-star general". Chris the speller yack 04:16, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
Hi Lineagegeek. In the future, please add attribution when copying from public domain sources: simply add the template {{
PD-notice}}
after your citation. I have done so for the above article. Please do this in the future so that our readers will be aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. Also, I noticed there's a broken citation in the article which I don't know how to fix. Thanks, —

Hello,
I was looking at your assessment of the above article. I note that the supporting materials requirement for the Class B assessment is marked "criterion not met". I did cite all sources when I wrote the original draft, and I listed my references at bottom. So what criteria do I still have to satisfy to gain a "B" for the article?
Georgejdorner ( talk) 02:38, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
The page ought to have an infobox, diagram or more images. Although the standard does contain the word "or", a single photo of an O-1 is a bit lean for a B rated article. Looking at the article, I see that two paragraphs are tagged for no reference (and two others have none, but are not tagged). That would need to be corrected to return B1 to a yes. -- Lineagegeek ( talk) 20:50, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
Hmmm. When I last looked at it, this article was fully cited...but you're right. Additional graphics can be found. I rather doubt the utility of an info box for what was not even an official USAF unit. Georgejdorner ( talk) 19:51, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for your work on the 60 ERS. Are you prepared to speculate at all about its relationship with the 449th AEG? Also, the 313th (especially) and 406th AEWs have a bit of a thin lineage. Does your AFOSCR access cover the period of the 313th AEW for OOD at Moron? Cheers and very many thanks for your continuing hard work, Buckshot06 (talk) 18:17, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for correcting my incorrect correction. I see that I am not the first person to be confused by this issue. I propose that "inactivated" should be linked to a wiki-dictionary entry that consists of the following: A USAF procedure which ends the organizational existence of a military unit, "when its mission ceases to exist and all resources are withdrawn," while still preserving its legal existence (unit is not disbanded). "An inactive unit retains its lineage, history and honors and is available for activation when needed again." (citing to the USAF procedure you provided me). I have never posted on anyone's talk page before, so I hope I have not violated any Wikipedia etiquette rules. Just wanted to contribute. -- WPatrickW ( talk) 22:37, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
Hey there! How can I help out on the 84th Airlift Flight page? Chefmikesf ( talk) 17:55, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
It's short on citations. There appears to be material from Haulman, 84 Airlift Flight, that could be cited. The World War II material is more detailed, looking for material in Maurer, Maurer, ed. (1983) [1961]. Air Force Combat Units of World War II (PDF) (reprint ed.). Washington, DC: Office of Air Force History. ISBN 0-912799-02-1. LCCN 61060979. Retrieved December 17, 2016.'s entry for the 437th Troop Carrier Group, could flesh this out. That source may have some material on Korean War service as well, but either Endicott, Judy G., ed. (2001). The USAF in Korea, Campaigns, Units and Stations 1950-1953 (PDF). Maxwell AFB, AL: Air Force Historical Research Agency. ISBN 0-16-050901-7. Retrieved December 17, 2016. or Futrell, Robert F.

Retrieved December 17, 2016. would have more on that (it was part of one of only two reserve wings that deployed to the theater during the Korean War), while Cantwell, Gerald T. (1997). Citizen Airmen: a History of the Air Force Reserve, 1946-1994 (PDF). Washington, D.C.: Air Force History and Museums Program. ISBN 0-16049-269-6. Retrieved December 17, 2016. would flesh out its mobilization and the changes in the reserve program that led to its 1957 inactivation. -- Lineagegeek ( talk) 19:57, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I was reading your assessment of this article. You make a considerable fuss about the inaccuracy of the sourced material I used for the article, yet you give no source for your objections. How can you justify your personal opinion as being more accurate than the source? If you have some source I am not aware of, could you please tell me so I can use it in the article? Georgejdorner ( talk) 19:47, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
First, Haas does not tie the crash rescue boat inactivation to the creation of Air Rescue Service (ARS). His note tying the activation of ARS to the 1947 creation of the USAF as a separate service is flat wrong. An organization that was already around [7] could not have been created by an action that did not occur until 1947. (And that is fact, not 'personal opinion".) This footnote is merely to point out that rescue boats were not part of ARS, not to state ARS' lineage. In addition, although Haas is a little vague, the context makes it clear that he is talking about boat operations in Japan, not Air Force wide (the last of the USAF boats had been put in dry storage for shipment back to the United States). He also is clear about Detachment 1 (and the Det was not activated on 7 July, but "shortly thereafter." [8] dosuments the squadron's existence with a detachment on Okinawa. -- Lineagegeek ( talk) 20:46, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
Ah, most interesting. I shall exploit these sources when I have time. Many thanks for the references. Georgejdorner ( talk) 19:03, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
I meant no insult by referring to opinion above. It's just that when I write for WP, I consider information as opinion until the source is supplied. Then it's a proven fact. Again, thanks for the facts. Georgejdorner ( talk) 00:36, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
Please take another look. Although it turned out I did not cite the sources you so generously shared, I did use them in editing the article. Georgejdorner ( talk) 00:54, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

Greetings,
"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.

Hey, I noticed you marked yourself as a member of WikiProject Wikify and you are currently listed as active. I was wondering if you would be able to assist with our current backlog reduction plan. While traditional drives are more structured month-long sprints by WikiProject Wikify members, there is currently lacking activity within the project and in order to significantly reduce the incredible backlog, members are encouraged to review all articles marked with the Underlinked Template Message - {{ underlinked}} - a list of which can be found here - to analyze the worthiness of the template message on the given article. Articles that have nothing to link or are have had wikilinks sufficiently added should have the template removed to clear the backlog and make it easier for editors to find articles in genuine need of wikification. This can be done by any editor; however, all editors should consider joining if they haven't done so already. Thank you!

I'm cleaning up a Free French Air Force unit, 03.003 Fighter Squadron "Ardennes". It mentions an attachment to No. 338 Wing USAAF in North Africa in 1944. Did either a 338th Fighter Wing or 338th Bombardment Wing exist? Cheers and thanks Buckshot06 (talk) 19:03, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Reading Owen, Purpose and Precision, pp. 86-7 and 139 (note 114), I have amended the details for the 313 AEW and copied some data over to the 406 AEW. Essentially it appears that the growing, improvised wing at Moron in March 2011 was simultaneously designated the 313 by AMC and the 406 by USAFE on the same day, clearly without too much coordination. The PA ANG brigadier general commanding just got on with the job as best he could. Soon afterwards - see top of pp. 87, 'settled in AMC's favor', and 139 note 114, '406 AEW existed only for a brief time' - it appears the double designation was rescinded by USAFE inactivating the 406 AEW. However, it does not explicitly state this. Cheers Buckshot06 (talk) 21:03, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
Hey, I have noticed that you have been adding a lot of "lead too short tags", to a lot of articles, for a long time. I only ask that you would consider fixing the leads instead of consistently tagging articles with this tag. It seems as though you are systematically going through related articles and adding the tag to all of them. This is not helpful, because the odds of someone going through dozens of Airlift Squadron articles consecutively and expanding the lead on all of them is highly unlikely, especially considering many of these articles were created ~10 years ago. If you want to improve articles, please do so, but using a tag like this so consistently does not improve anything. I hope you understand. Thank you. -- ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ 19:32, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Hi Lineagegeek. It looks like you copied some content from 1st Aerospace Control Squadron to 1st Space Operations Squadron. When you copy from one Wikipedia article to another, you need to provide attribution. This is done by saying in your edit summary that the material was copied, and where you got it. Please have a look at this edit summary for an example of how it is done. Please let me know if you have any questions, or have a look at WP:Copying within Wikipedia for more information. Thanks, — Ninja Diannaa ( Talk) 04:21, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
Your merger appears to be totally inappropriate as the only thing left of the entire 1st Aero article is a couple of sentences in Background. This suppresses some early history of the USAF space program an action which which appears totally inappropriate. Please explain why you think it appropriate to suppress this history.
The Wikipedia notice about the merger sent me to 1st Expeditionary Space Control Squadron
(Redirected from 1st Space Control Squadron)
which is what I was referring to, not a I said, the Operations Squadron. I now see, as you say, that there is Space Track information in the 1st Space Operations page. Thanks for the quick reply.
I think it would be better, rather than merging part of the 1st Aero page into the new page if you included a link to the full original 1st Aero page as it has additional historical information.
Seaotter6 I think most of what was omitted is discussed in Talk:1st Space Operations Squadron along with reasons. Some other material not included was pre-1961 and probably more appropriate for inclusion in Project Space Track (1957-1961) than in an article about the unit. I've corrected the typo (my fault) on the redirect, so I see why you thought stuff was going down the memory hole. The merger note on the talk page will take you to the talk page and article on the 1st Aerospace Control Squadron, which still contains links to all the previous material. Don't forget to sign your comments. Since this is a continuation of the previous section, I'll take the liberty of removing the separate section header. -- Lineagegeek ( talk) 22:16, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
Yes, I see the names of the initial 1st Aero cadre on the talk age under merger but I can't imagine why normal Wikipedia users would think to go to the talk page and scroll down all that way to see part of the items you deleted. I still think a link to the full old 1st Aero page would be far better and not so obscure. Some people are interested in the history of the very early USAF days of satellite tracking and the 1st Aero page has all that is available as far as I know. It's rather a shame to trash it.

Many thanks for your last edits at 409 AEG. Particularly helpful was citing the exact AF doco for the group's current squadrons. Would you mind, when you have time, checking the same records for the 404 AEG? Many thanks Buckshot06 (talk) 08:24, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

[1] this edit put the article straight into the U.S. military units in WW II main cat, which has 902 articles in it, many USAAF. It desperately needs articles moved into the subcats. Articles like this should be placed straight into the AAF unit size cat, which is part of that main cat. Cheers Buckshot06 (talk) 22:22, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Greetings,
You seem to be the go-to expert on US Air Force unit organizations and lineages. Do you know where I could find either the parent organization, or even better, seperate lineage and awards info for the "Aerospace Physiology Training Department, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH"? The APTD was my dad's first assigned unit (1971-'87).
As for the APTD's parent organization, there's several possibilities which I have tried to look into, all without success:
I know he was also connected to the hyperbaric (hypobaric?) medicine department at Wright-Patt both before and as it was being established as a seperate organization at somepoint within that timeframe, so whatever organization it sprang from, would seem to of been his parent unit.
Thank you for any info. Gecko G ( talk) 21:44, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
(I have a gap in my information during the late 1980s, when USAF did a lot of renumbering and renaming of medical units, so I don't know it the following is a redesignation or a new unit)
Sorry LG I don't understand this. It needs to be in a root category, 'X wings of the United States Air Force'; it can't just be in mil-units-and-formations-formed-in-x category, nobody will ever be able to find it thru the category structure... Buckshot06 (talk) 06:59, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article 563d Rescue Group you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Concertmusic -- Concertmusic ( talk) 15:41, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
As you may know, I am working on the GA review for 563d Rescue Group. Progress is slow but steady. Having said that, I had no issues yesterday, but starting just about 15 minutes ago, the links in that article to the Air Force fact sheets are all broken, as it appears that the Air Force has just moved fact sheets to another location. This may have a far-reaching impact for many of your articles. If you would be so kind as to have a look at this particular article, and to fix those links; at a glance, not only did the location change, but some of the actual fact sheets have changed as well. That would allow me to carry on with the review as quickly as possible. I am sorry if I am the bearer of bad news! -- Concertmusic ( talk) 18:16, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
The article 563d Rescue Group you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:563d Rescue Group for things which need to be addressed.

Please see this post on the GA review page for 563d Rescue Group - thank you!
I just went over the above GA review notes, and am finding that there really is just one final item left, which needs to be done across all of the sections under Lineage. It has to do with the fact that you cannot have an overarching reference just on the final bulleted item in a bulleted list - as it then appears that just that row is being referenced. Therefore, if you could have a quick introductory sentence under the header of each section that describes the section, and then hang the reference off that sentence (inside the colon) - that will get this item taken care of.
The intro sentence could be as little as "Assignments of the 563d Rescue Group from 1944 to present:", and then have Reference 50 at the end of that sentence. Specifically, for the Lineage section, you could either do the intro sentence, as described, and add Reference 50 at the end of that sentence, or you could add Reference 50 at the end of each of the 3 bullets.
For the Assignments sections, you need to have that intro sentence, and hang Reference 50 off it - the only other choice is to add the reference to each bullet, which is a mess. It is then also made clear that reference 50 is for the entire section, and Reference 51 is for just that last bullet.
Same for all of the other sections except Detachments, which is fine the way it is. If that can get done, I believe we can pass this article as a GA!
Thank you! -- Concertmusic ( talk) 17:38, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
The article 563d Rescue Group you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:563d Rescue Group for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

Good Evening Lineagegeek,
I wish to add information to Wikipedia regarding the 46th Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron, currently it links to 46th Fighter Training Squadron but I see we also have a 46th Reconnaissance Squadron article is their anyway you can check to see if the unit is a rebrand of the Fighter Training Squadron ? If it does I want to move the Fighter Training Squadron article over to the Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron name.

Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to
302d Airlift Wing. I did have one note for you. I am working on a maintenance project to clean up
Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see
WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this: |image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]
, instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do: |image=SomeImage.jpg
. There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption
. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recetly added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!!

I found it through a link -- another editor appears to have abandoned it. I need to finish up WW II, then get an admin to move it to mainspace (there's a redirect there now).
And what, relating to the Second World War, are ASWAAF and SCARWAF? AAF sure, but what? Buckshot06 (talk) 12:27, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
These terms refer to units from other branches (other than Air Corps) that were assigned to the AAF or overseas Air Forces. Few were assigned to combat units at the group level or below (perhaps some Chemical Companies, Air Operations) after 1943 (for a short time tactical groups had an Ordnance Company, Aviation assigned or attached). They were assigned to service or depot groups. At Wing level and above, just about every headquarters had some sort of signal company. Common units were Quartermaster Truck Companies, Aviation; Ordnance Supply & Maintenance Companies, Aviation; Signal Companies, Service Group; Engineer Aviation Fire Fighting Platoons; Engineer Aviation Battalions; Military Police Companies, Aviation (Overseas only after 1942 -- the ones in the US were converted to Air Corps units as Guard Squadrons). I believe the last of these went out around the mid-1950s at Wolters and Beale Air Force Bases when the last Engineer Aviation units inactivated.
G'day Lineagegeek, I'd like you to consider nominating as a coord this year. You've been around the project for long enough, know how things work, and are a prolific content contributor. No pressure, but we could do with some new blood keeping the wheels turning. Cheers, Peacemaker67 ( click to talk to me) 03:45, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
When you create new redirects, would you please mind adding the defining category, in accordance with WP:CATDEF? For example, with 2d Liaison Flight, I added Category:Flights of the United States Air Force, and would have added Cat:Liaison Flights of the United States Air Force if that category existed.

We always like to get the Bugle out by the 7th of the month, so allowing for some tidy-up before despatch, if you could complete your answers within two weeks, i.e. around 2nd November, that'd be great.

Hi Lineagegeek! I noticed that you had
changed the assessment of
102d Intelligence Wing from A-Class to C-Class by removing the |A-Class=
parameter from the template. Unfortunately, doing it this way causes an error to be flagged by the A-Class tracking function built into the template, since it looks as though there's a phantom A-Class review that's not properly listed in the assessment. I've restored the parameter for now; if we want to demote the article, the clean way to do it would be to create a (new) re-assessment A-Class review and then close it with |A-Class=demoted
.
(I think the article is also listed as a GA; that should probably get re-assessed as well if we drop the A-Class rating.) Kirill Lokshin ( talk) 22:08, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi thanks for the feedback & compliment on the ID. Thanks also for correcting my miserable mistake regarding the obs/aero squadron lineal connections. It took me all of 1 minute to confirm in Maurer what you were saying. I should've checked in the first place, but I made the mistake of generalizing information I looked at on the 104th Obs Squadron (which had no connection to the 104th Aero Squadron, as the wiki said) to the other observation squadrons. Thanks for undoing it and thanks even more for letting me know the source. A valuable lesson in not jumping to conclusions! Also a note re: Clay. I've found some of his information questionable. I suspect some of what he presents on the obs squadrons existed on paper but was not reflected in reality. I'm still researching it (for a book I'm writing on the MD ANG), so I can't say he's definitively wrong, but I would cross-check Clay with other sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alltheuseridsiwantedweretaken ( talk • contribs) 11:23, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.
For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert ( talk) & MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello Lineagegeek,
Can you please see if the 4th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron is connected to 4th Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron, I been looking at [4] and I don't think it is connected but I wanted to double check with you before I change anything.
Gavbadger ( talk) 13:55, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
Thanks very much for the correction to my date range edits in several articles. I was going by the old standard and didn't know it had changed. Note, however, that in your reversions you brought along several of my other edits to the articles. It is probably a better approach to just make the corrections to the problematic part, in this case the date range, instead of reverting.
With regard to the location of the unit emblem, I am following Template:Infobox military unit which reserves for the inbox's "image" field "[a]n image of the unit insignia (cap badges, tartan or colours), if available; other images may be used if this cannot be obtained."
Thanks again for bringing me up to speed on the date ranges! Ocalafla ( talk) 14:34, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello Lineagegeek, before I restore the 3 Special Operations Squadron page back to its previous version, do you have any newer references that would supercede the official USAF HRA page dated 10 Aug 2016? 'Cheers, Loopy30 ( talk) 23:52, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
Greetings from the Military history WikiProject! Elections for the Military history WikiProject Coordinators are currently underway. As a member of the WikiProject you are cordially invited to take part by casting your vote(s) for the candidates on the election page. This year's election will conclude at 23:59 UTC 29 September.

Hello,
I was looking at your assessment of the above article. I note that the supporting materials requirement for the Class B assessment is marked "criterion not met". I did cite all sources when I wrote the original draft, and I listed my references at bottom. So what criteria do I still have to satisfy to gain a "B" for the article?
Georgejdorner ( talk) 02:38, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
The page ought to have an infobox, diagram or more images. Although the standard does contain the word "or", a single photo of an O-1 is a bit lean for a B rated article. Looking at the article, I see that two paragraphs are tagged for no reference (and two others have none, but are not tagged). That would need to be corrected to return B1 to a yes. -- Lineagegeek ( talk) 20:50, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
Hmmm. When I last looked at it, this article was fully cited...but you're right. Additional graphics can be found. I rather doubt the utility of an info box for what was not even an official USAF unit. Georgejdorner ( talk) 19:51, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for your work on the 60 ERS. Are you prepared to speculate at all about its relationship with the 449th AEG? Also, the 313th (especially) and 406th AEWs have a bit of a thin lineage. Does your AFOSCR access cover the period of the 313th AEW for OOD at Moron? Cheers and very many thanks for your continuing hard work, Buckshot06 (talk) 18:17, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for correcting my incorrect correction. I see that I am not the first person to be confused by this issue. I propose that "inactivated" should be linked to a wiki-dictionary entry that consists of the following: A USAF procedure which ends the organizational existence of a military unit, "when its mission ceases to exist and all resources are withdrawn," while still preserving its legal existence (unit is not disbanded). "An inactive unit retains its lineage, history and honors and is available for activation when needed again." (citing to the USAF procedure you provided me). I have never posted on anyone's talk page before, so I hope I have not violated any Wikipedia etiquette rules. Just wanted to contribute. -- WPatrickW ( talk) 22:37, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
Hey there! How can I help out on the 84th Airlift Flight page? Chefmikesf ( talk) 17:55, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
It's short on citations. There appears to be material from Haulman, 84 Airlift Flight, that could be cited. The World War II material is more detailed, looking for material in Maurer, Maurer, ed. (1983) [1961]. Air Force Combat Units of World War II (PDF) (reprint ed.). Washington, DC: Office of Air Force History. ISBN 0-912799-02-1. LCCN 61060979. Retrieved December 17, 2016.'s entry for the 437th Troop Carrier Group, could flesh this out. That source may have some material on Korean War service as well, but either Endicott, Judy G., ed. (2001). The USAF in Korea, Campaigns, Units and Stations 1950-1953 (PDF). Maxwell AFB, AL: Air Force Historical Research Agency. ISBN 0-16-050901-7. Retrieved December 17, 2016. or Futrell, Robert F. (1983). The United States Air Forces in Korea 1950-1953 (PDF). Washington, DC: Office of Air Force History. ISBN 0-912799-71-4. Retrieved December 17, 2016. would have more on that (it was part of one of only two reserve wings that deployed to the theater during the Korean War), while Cantwell, Gerald T. (1997). Citizen Airmen: a History of the Air Force Reserve, 1946-1994 (PDF). Washington, D.C.: Air Force History and Museums Program. ISBN 0-16049-269-6. Retrieved December 17, 2016. would flesh out its mobilization and the changes in the reserve program that led to its 1957 inactivation. -- Lineagegeek ( talk) 19:57, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I was reading your assessment of this article. You make a considerable fuss about the inaccuracy of the sourced material I used for the article, yet you give no source for your objections. How can you justify your personal opinion as being more accurate than the source? If you have some source I am not aware of, could you please tell me so I can use it in the article? Georgejdorner ( talk) 19:47, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
First, Haas does not tie the crash rescue boat inactivation to the creation of Air Rescue Service (ARS). His note tying the activation of ARS to the 1947 creation of the USAF as a separate service is flat wrong. An organization that was already around [7] could not have been created by an action that did not occur until 1947. (And that is fact, not 'personal opinion".) This footnote is merely to point out that rescue boats were not part of ARS, not to state ARS' lineage. In addition, although Haas is a little vague, the context makes it clear that he is talking about boat operations in Japan, not Air Force wide (the last of the USAF boats had been put in dry storage for shipment back to the United States). He also is clear about Detachment 1 (and the Det was not activated on 7 July, but "shortly thereafter." [8] dosuments the squadron's existence with a detachment on Okinawa. -- Lineagegeek ( talk) 20:46, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
Ah, most interesting. I shall exploit these sources when I have time. Many thanks for the references. Georgejdorner ( talk) 19:03, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
I meant no insult by referring to opinion above. It's just that when I write for WP, I consider information as opinion until the source is supplied. Then it's a proven fact. Again, thanks for the facts. Georgejdorner ( talk) 00:36, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
Please take another look. Although it turned out I did not cite the sources you so generously shared, I did use them in editing the article. Georgejdorner ( talk) 00:54, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

Greetings,
"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.

Hey, I noticed you marked yourself as a member of WikiProject Wikify and you are currently listed as active. I was wondering if you would be able to assist with our current backlog reduction plan. While traditional drives are more structured month-long sprints by WikiProject Wikify members, there is currently lacking activity within the project and in order to significantly reduce the incredible backlog, members are encouraged to review all articles marked with the Underlinked Template Message - {{ underlinked}} - a list of which can be found here - to analyze the worthiness of the template message on the given article. Articles that have nothing to link or are have had wikilinks sufficiently added should have the template removed to clear the backlog and make it easier for editors to find articles in genuine need of wikification. This can be done by any editor; however, all editors should consider joining if they haven't done so already. Thank you!

I'm cleaning up a Free French Air Force unit, 03.003 Fighter Squadron "Ardennes". It mentions an attachment to No. 338 Wing USAAF in North Africa in 1944. Did either a 338th Fighter Wing or 338th Bombardment Wing exist? Cheers and thanks Buckshot06 (talk) 19:03, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Reading Owen, Purpose and Precision, pp. 86-7 and 139 (note 114), I have amended the details for the 313 AEW and copied some data over to the 406 AEW. Essentially it appears that the growing, improvised wing at Moron in March 2011 was simultaneously designated the 313 by AMC and the 406 by USAFE on the same day, clearly without too much coordination. The PA ANG brigadier general commanding just got on with the job as best he could. Soon afterwards - see top of pp. 87, 'settled in AMC's favor', and 139 note 114, '406 AEW existed only for a brief time' - it appears the double designation was rescinded by USAFE inactivating the 406 AEW. However, it does not explicitly state this. Cheers Buckshot06 (talk) 21:03, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
Hey, I have noticed that you have been adding a lot of "lead too short tags", to a lot of articles, for a long time. I only ask that you would consider fixing the leads instead of consistently tagging articles with this tag. It seems as though you are systematically going through related articles and adding the tag to all of them. This is not helpful, because the odds of someone going through dozens of Airlift Squadron articles consecutively and expanding the lead on all of them is highly unlikely, especially considering many of these articles were created ~10 years ago. If you want to improve articles, please do so, but using a tag like this so consistently does not improve anything. I hope you understand. Thank you. -- ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ 19:32, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Hi Lineagegeek. It looks like you copied some content from 1st Aerospace Control Squadron to 1st Space Operations Squadron. When you copy from one Wikipedia article to another, you need to provide attribution. This is done by saying in your edit summary that the material was copied, and where you got it. Please have a look at this edit summary for an example of how it is done. Please let me know if you have any questions, or have a look at WP:Copying within Wikipedia for more information. Thanks, — Ninja Diannaa ( Talk) 04:21, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
Your merger appears to be totally inappropriate as the only thing left of the entire 1st Aero article is a couple of sentences in Background. This suppresses some early history of the USAF space program an action which which appears totally inappropriate. Please explain why you think it appropriate to suppress this history.
The Wikipedia notice about the merger sent me to 1st Expeditionary Space Control Squadron
(Redirected from 1st Space Control Squadron)
which is what I was referring to, not a I said, the Operations Squadron. I now see, as you say, that there is Space Track information in the 1st Space Operations page. Thanks for the quick reply.
I think it would be better, rather than merging part of the 1st Aero page into the new page if you included a link to the full original 1st Aero page as it has additional historical information.
Seaotter6 I think most of what was omitted is discussed in Talk:1st Space Operations Squadron along with reasons. Some other material not included was pre-1961 and probably more appropriate for inclusion in Project Space Track (1957-1961) than in an article about the unit. I've corrected the typo (my fault) on the redirect, so I see why you thought stuff was going down the memory hole. The merger note on the talk page will take you to the talk page and article on the 1st Aerospace Control Squadron, which still contains links to all the previous material. Don't forget to sign your comments. Since this is a continuation of the previous section, I'll take the liberty of removing the separate section header. -- Lineagegeek ( talk) 22:16, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
Yes, I see the names of the initial 1st Aero cadre on the talk age under merger but I can't imagine why normal Wikipedia users would think to go to the talk page and scroll down all that way to see part of the items you deleted. I still think a link to the full old 1st Aero page would be far better and not so obscure. Some people are interested in the history of the very early USAF days of satellite tracking and the 1st Aero page has all that is available as far as I know. It's rather a shame to trash it.

Hi Again... I’m hoping to lean on your experience as a Unit Historian to determine the best way to discover information. There is an article I’m sure you’re aware of listing former commanders of SAC.

Why don’t unit historians ever post anything but “current” info on Fact Sheets and unit history sites? Is there a better place for me to look?
