Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of highest-grossing animated films, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Vanity Fair ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Regarding this edit [1] that same anon changed the description of the article to say the MCPON had red stripes [2]. I'm confused, since the picture has him with gold stripes and his mast was in 1996, why would he have red stripes? I'm thinking all the changes by this anon should be reverted... - Nard ( Hablemonos)( Let's talk) 13:47, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Hey quick question, where are you seeing that GEN Dickenson is nominated for SPACECOM? I checked out the source on the article, but didn't see it there. Garuda28 ( talk) 22:09, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
Hey, I hope you’re doing well. I noticed the abbreviation clarification you made and did a little google searching. I couldn’t find any reference to the vice chairman as VJCS on military sites but found plenty with VCJCS (such as https://www.jcs.mil/About/). Would you be able to share where the abbreviation is coming from? Thanks! Garuda28 ( talk) 02:44, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
Hey, hope you’re doing well. I was wondering if i could get your input at Talk:United States Space Command#Joint Force Headquarters – Air Force Cyber as a providing component since you’re pretty well read in on U.S. military UCC structure?

Hey, I just saw your edit on Space Force naval rank but don’t understand it (I totally believe you btw). As a matter of personal curiosity could you explain what happened? Garuda28 ( talk) 19:42, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
Hey, do you by chance have a graphic for a post-fleet/force MCPO rank is? I was doing some digging on the naval exchange (trying to see if they carry red rank for the special ranks, and if not I wasn't going to include it on the rank chart) and saw a post-Fleet/Force MCPO rank with two gold stars on top and the central star being white instead of gold. You know anything about this? Thanks! Garuda28 ( talk) 23:19, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
Hey, I noticed the image you swapped out of the Patton page today as it was photoshopped. Good call btw. I don't do much (like at all) on Commons, is it typical for that site to host fake images like that? I hope not, as that could shake one's faith in the content of that site. And this one. Speaking of fakes, it appears that image was created by the now infamous OberRanks. Whether thats a factor or not, should something be done about that file? Thanks for any insight. - wolf 04:07, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Dear Neovu79,

Hey, would like to ask if you could start leaving summaries with your edits. You don't seem to leave many (your stats show only 1 in 10) and I've noticed because many of the pages your edit are on my watchlist. To make things easier, you can use abbreviations. I'm sure most, if not all, of the editors that watch or work on the pages you edit would appreciate it if you could start leaving some kind of summary every time you edit a page. Thanks in advance. - wolf 19:39, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
I've updated quite a handful of the USPHS awards (most of them don't have an actual page attached to them), and I'm going to start working on updating and creating pages for the rest of them. So there will likely be quite a few edits on that page. Any help with double checking edits and formatting after the fact are appreciated. Dusa1981 ( talk) 20:56, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
@
Thewolfchild: - It's unfortunate that you feel that way. I don't recall ever having an issue with you collaborating
.
I know you don't like using your own talk page for personal discussion", that's not something I really get to decide. I do like to try an keep article-related talk on article tp's, (where it belongs), and I try to keep any nonsense to minimum. That's about it.
But is any of this really important? I mean, just today you repeatedly reverted some of my edits, and posted talk page comments that range from not-all-that-enthused to fairly chilly. And that leaves the other open issue, (the one you copped the quote from), the enlisted rank insignia images. The one where after multiple pings at Garuda28's tp, it seemed like you just weren't going to respond to us. Then after the thread was moved, and you finally did reply, it was, not exactly, shall we say, all that 'collaborative'. But, I hope I'm wrong. This can be a tricky medium sometimes, can make it difficult to read people. I think we have a consensus on the enlisted patches, and I hoping we can make some improvements to the AN and related pages and templates. Best way to do that is to look forward, and not dwell on the past. Have a nice day - wolf 04:09, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
If you took my replies as not at all collaborative well I'm sorry that you feel that way, but I can't completely control how you will perceive my tones over the internet and I would expect everyone to assume that my comments as not targeted." That wasn't about tones, but actual words, those you can control. But, it seems you agree with me about the limitations of reading tone, and therefore attitude, on talk pages, and I've already stated that I respect the work that you've put into many of the articles here, so let's call that progress. But that said, I didn't ask you about your personal life. To be fair, if you're going to be involved in articles, then disappear, that's on you. Everyone has a life outside of WP, but only you can determine if you should be involving yourself in content changes if RL is going to limit said involvement from then discussing those charges. The discussions are an important part of WP. Lastly, I think your pivot to the AN article is best left to the AN talk page. - wolf 21:18, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
I've starting doing a rework of the List of active duty United States three-star officers page into the more ordered format that I believed you made the four-star page currently.

Do you happen to have any sources that say Maj. Gen. A.C. Roper retired or was replaced as Deputy Commanding General, U.S. Army Reserve? I'm asking because Gregory J. Mosser recently relinquished command of 377th Theater Sustainment Command to Maj. Gen. Susan B. Henderson, with sources confirming this. Gregory J. Mosser is slated to become the next DCG of U.S. Army Reserve Command as released by the Department of Defense. Gomo.Army.mil already lists Mosser in the DCG, U.S. Army Reserve Command position. How to proceed? If I choose one over the other, one general's going to be missing seeing as both Roper and Mosser are two-stars. SuperWIKI ( talk) 14:29, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
Given how you predicted that
James H. Dickinson would become the next commander of SPACECOM with knowledge of his extensive experience and career path, I'd like to know your thoughts on what three-star positions these generals will take, having been announced on Congress.gov but no USDOD announcement yet. These generals here:
Ronald P. Clark
[1],
Theodore D. Martin
[2],
Patrick E. Matlock
[3],
Eric C. Peterson
[4] and
A.C. Roper, Jr.
[5].
Secondly,
CSO
John W. Raymond
is being appointed to the permanent grade of Major General. Any idea on what this means, whether he is retiring as a MG, did not reach the three-year limit needed to retire as a four-star or is just being promoted to permanent Major General with no relation to his temporary rank of General? Would appreciate an answer.

Following the above chat with interest. I appreciate the lists Superwiki is creating and it's great that you're helping him out. This issue about the reserve vs nat'l guard appt. had me looking at the related pages, and I ended up on the Chief of the National Guard Bureau page. I noticed that of the last nine chiefs, the position has alternated between Army and AF. Do you know if that's a coincidence or is it deliberate? If so, is it an informal understanding, or something that's codified somewhere? Any feedback is appreciated. Cheers - wolf 20:08, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
Even though I think it's likely, wasn't GEN LaCamera's original nomination as USFK commander returned to the President without action? It is correct to assume that he is being nominated for the same position again under a different president (even though that's probably exactly what they're doing) with sources referring to the original nomination? Based on your experience, I'd like to know more regarding that process. SuperWIKI ( talk) 15:20, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
I heard in the INDOPACOM change of command ceremony from the mouth of INDOPACOM chief of staff Ronald P. Clark that John C. Aquilino relinquished command of the U.S. Pacific Fleet to Samuel Paparo earlier that morning, but RADM Stephen T. Koehler is currently listed as acting commander on their official website. If both are true, that means Koehler was acting commander for a fair few hours. Given that the USPACFLT commander list also includes acting commanders, how do I proceed? You do have expertise in these matters. Should we wait for other sources that say out loud "Paparo has been officially promoted to four-star admiral and commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet effective this-and-that?"actually that's exactly what I should do what am I talking about SuperWIKI ( talk) 13:00, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
@ Neovu79: Greetings! I see that you are a very prolific writer in the navy-niche. I recently saw your contributions on List of United States Navy four-star admirals and thought it was a shame that you didn't continue as, from what I can tell, you could easily get it to featured list status.

I noticed the series of edits you made today to
United States National Guard, as well as
National Guard Bureau, with the summary: "Officially, there is no "United States" or "U.S." that precedes National Guard
".
With that in mind, did you want to consider proposing a rename of United States National Guard to National Guard (United States)...?
I know it was proposed back in 2018, but consensus can change, especially if you can present a good case for the move. Ftr, I would support it, I'm sure some some others would as well. - wolf 04:23, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Given your "expertise" in selecting potential four-star appointments in the future, I was wondering who your likely picks would be for these positions (whose terms started in 2018/2019): Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Commander, U.S. Cyber Command, and Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command. With Nakasone and Grady approaching the ends of their customary terms for CDRUSCYBERCOM and COMUSFF, and Hyten not seeking a third term, do you think a four-star will be laterally promoted to replace them or a member of the three-star pool, respectively? And for the joint positions, which service's counterpart (esp. for CYBERCOM, which would have the ARCYBER, FCC, 16 AF and DCI positions as the three-star hopefuls) has the best chance of taking the titles?

Do you happen to have any useful sources for the vice commander position at USSOCOM, such as any law that established it or sources pertaining to why it exists? Presumably it was to give the Air Force a permanent role in USSOCOM given its joint nature, and since there hasn't been an Air Force commander of SOCOM since 2003, it might have been created afterwards. Would appreciate your assistance. SuperWIKI ( talk) 01:47, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
I read in the citation [1] that Congress apparently limited the Space Force to create only one new four-star position: the Chief of Space Operations and thus could not create any new ones for the time being, meaning that at least 1 more four-star billet (and for the three-star billets, 5) had to be transferred from the Air Force. Is there any record of said move reducing the statutory cap on Air Force four-star officers by one, i.e. from 9 four-stars to 8 four-stars? Having read U.S. Code Chapter 908 (Space Force), nothing in it seems to mention any changes to 10 U.S.C. § 525, despite the office of CSO and VCSO already existing for almost two years now. Is there any sources available that reconcile this, some section in an NDAA somewhere? This may have some effects on accuracy in the List of active duty United States four-star officers#Statutory limits page.
On a related note, it seems the Cornell U.S. Code four-star Army officer cap no longer matches the aforementioned four-star Wikipedia page. I quote from there:
(1) in the Army, if that appointment would result in more than—
- (A) 8 officers in the grade of general; Four-star page quotes as 7
I intended to make the necessary changes, but given I lack the literacy on these types of law changes, I wanted to run this and the above through you first to make sure I know of any changes made. Did any law or regulation cause the Army to add one four-star spot, possibly that of Army Futures Command? SuperWIKI ( talk) 15:34, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

GOMO lists Richardson's date of rank as 29 October 2021, not the 18th when the actual ceremony took place.

Now we have the CJCS. It's almost certain to me that an Air Force general will be selected to succeed Milley since there's a strong desire to have that service take the chair (which would make CQ the first Air Force CJCS since Myers), especially since the whole Goldfein thing. Let's, however, entertain the possibility that a non-JCS member is appointed as chairman, since 10 U.S.C. § 152 provides that the chairman must have served as vice chairman, a service chief, or a combatant commander prior. Meaning, that, unless the president waives such requirements in the national interest, the chief of the National Guard Bureau cannot, and realistically will never be, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The last non-JCS member to be appointed chairman was IIRC, General Hugh Shelton.
Which non-JCS member currently in service is most qualified to be CJCS? SuperWIKI ( talk) 06:29, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
How about USEUCOM? Personally think Cavoli is the top choice, plus his tour as USAREUR-AF commander, if his three-star tenure as USAREUR commander is counted, should be coming to an end soon. Plus, a little below a decade before he has to retire. Additionally, for the case of an Army deputy commander, Lieutenant General Howard is approaching the tenure that his recent predecessors have departed at: around 1 year and 200-300 days, so those chances increase if a new deputy commander from a different service comes in.

@ Neovu79: Who do you think is best placed to replace GEN McConville as chief of staff of the Army next year? Assuming that an Army incumbent in any position isn't nominated one year or less into their term, or that they don't deep-select from three-star officers, I have the current VCSA Joseph M. Martin, TRADOC commander Paul E. Funk II, and (least likely to me) USAREUR-AF commander Christopher G. Cavoli as the most likely hopefuls. Personally, I have Martin as my top choice.

I know they report for operational purposes to their respective combatant commanders in their positions as service component commanders.

SuperWIKI ( talk) 08:55, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
LTG Michael E. Kurilla and VADM Frank D. Whitworth have been nominated to new positions, the former of which includes a promotion to general. In my opinion, Kurilla is likely to replace GEN Clarke as commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, since Clarke already has more than two years in tenure and Kurilla has several years of general officer experience in the Joint Staff and Joint Special Operations Command. Bonus points for being Clarke's successor as commander of the 75th Ranger Regiment. I mean, he could also be a contender to replace Gen McKenzie at CENTCOM, given his time as chief of staff, plus McKenzie assumed command around the same time as Clarke. Given, however, that CENTCOM hasn't appointed a three-star Army general directly to command CENTCOM since GEN Abizaid in 2003 (plus I'm favouring GEN Garrett for CENTCOM), I think it's a long shot. I almost believed Kurilla could be the nominee for Futures Command, but he doesn't have any of the budget or logistics expertise that GEN Murray had.
For Whitworth, I'm asking because he's a career intelligence officer, and that career path has only a few possible positions which he can be nominated for. Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, Director of the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center and Director of Naval Intelligence.
For both officers, what are your thoughts? Pinging @ KingEdinburgh: to loop him in, since he updated the nominations first. SuperWIKI ( talk) 12:02, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Hey Neovu79! I've been following your nomination of this page. Here's some places where citations could be helpful. I'm preoccupied with proofreading and organizing the recent wave of two-star nominations so I won't be able to assist in detail; however, this may raise the quality of the page to convince reviewers.
The retirement for age subsection. Citations on dates of birth, year placed on active duty (which should be in their official service biographies), year they would have retired under standard limits (example: for Mullen, cite the version of the U.S. Code section he would've retired under in 2008. Append to that a note that Mullen was subject to this rule), date they assumed the office that placed them higher than retirement age (CJCS, CNGB, etc.) and the date they actually retired. Don't think there's a need to cite the exact age at which they retired if we have the start and end dates ( WP:BLUE, if you think it counts as such).
The promotion track subsection. Citations on year VADM was appointed to admiral, role their predecessor was re-assigned to, role their' predecessor was re-assigned to, and year their predecessor retired. Again, I don't think there's a need to cite the exact age at which they retired if we have the start and end dates ( WP:BLUE, if you think it counts as such).
The 60-day rule subsection. Same rules.
Four-star officers typically step down from their posts up to 60 days in advance of their official retirement dates. Officers retire on the first day of the month, so once a retirement month has been selected, the relief and retirement ceremonies are scheduled by counting backwards from that date by the number of days of accumulated leave remaining to the retiring officer. During this period, termed transition leave or terminal leave, the officer is considered to be awaiting retirement but still on active duty.
The presidential waiver section. Same rules. Additionally, ADM Rickover is not an example of a presidential waiver at least from the text, it should be noted as such.
A statutory limit can be waived by the president with the consent of Congress if it serves national interest. However, this is extremely rare.

The article Jack Burns (American football coach) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Hi Neovu79! I'll be leaving for mandatory national service on 11 July, and will be in rotation for about 2 years. For at least the first two months of service, I will be in basic training. As such, until I transition to vocational training (which by nature of my physical standards will be clerical shift work), I won't be free to update and edit the usual pages as much as I used to during this two-month period.
So, if it doesn't inconvenience you and the other users I'm messaging, I just wanted to give notice on these issues and hope for your help in updating the usual Wikipedia articles as necessary. I thank you for the help.
P.S. Due to your personal scheduling issues, I just wanted to reassure you if you don't see frequent edits on the List of active duty United States four-star officers. SuperWIKI ( talk) 07:54, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals.

Hey, would like to ask if you could start leaving summaries with your edits. You don't seem to leave many (your stats show only 1 in 10) and I've noticed because many of the pages your edit are on my watchlist. To make things easier, you can use abbreviations. I'm sure most, if not all, of the editors that watch or work on the pages you edit would appreciate it if you could start leaving some kind of summary every time you edit a page.

@
Thewolfchild: - It's unfortunate that you feel that way. I don't recall ever having an issue with you collaborating
.
I know you don't like using your own talk page for personal discussion", that's not something I really get to decide. I do like to try an keep article-related talk on article tp's, (where it belongs), and I try to keep any nonsense to minimum. That's about it.
But is any of this really important? I mean, just today you repeatedly reverted some of my edits, and posted talk page comments that range from not-all-that-enthused to fairly chilly. And that leaves the other open issue, (the one you copped the quote from), the enlisted rank insignia images. The one where after multiple pings at Garuda28's tp, it seemed like you just weren't going to respond to us. Then after the thread was moved, and you finally did reply, it was, not exactly, shall we say, all that 'collaborative'. But, I hope I'm wrong. This can be a tricky medium sometimes, can make it difficult to read people. I think we have a consensus on the enlisted patches, and I hoping we can make some improvements to the AN and related pages and templates. Best way to do that is to look forward, and not dwell on the past. Have a nice day - wolf 04:09, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
If you took my replies as not at all collaborative well I'm sorry that you feel that way, but I can't completely control how you will perceive my tones over the internet and I would expect everyone to assume that my comments as not targeted." That wasn't about tones, but actual words, those you can control. But, it seems you agree with me about the limitations of reading tone, and therefore attitude, on talk pages, and I've already stated that I respect the work that you've put into many of the articles here, so let's call that progress. But that said, I didn't ask you about your personal life. To be fair, if you're going to be involved in articles, then disappear, that's on you. Everyone has a life outside of WP, but only you can determine if you should be involving yourself in content changes if RL is going to limit said involvement from then discussing those charges. The discussions are an important part of WP. Lastly, I think your pivot to the AN article is best left to the AN talk page. - wolf 21:18, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Do you happen to have any sources that say Maj. Gen. A.C. Roper retired or was replaced as Deputy Commanding General, U.S. Army Reserve? I'm asking because Gregory J. Mosser recently relinquished command of 377th Theater Sustainment Command to Maj. Gen. Susan B. Henderson, with sources confirming this. Gregory J. Mosser is slated to become the next DCG of U.S. Army Reserve Command as released by the Department of Defense. Gomo.Army.mil already lists Mosser in the DCG, U.S. Army Reserve Command position. How to proceed? If I choose one over the other, one general's going to be missing seeing as both Roper and Mosser are two-stars. SuperWIKI ( talk) 14:29, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
Given how you predicted that
James H. Dickinson would become the next commander of SPACECOM with knowledge of his extensive experience and career path, I'd like to know your thoughts on what three-star positions these generals will take, having been announced on Congress.gov but no USDOD announcement yet. These generals here:
Ronald P. Clark

Theodore D. Martin
[2],
Patrick E. Matlock
[3],
Eric C. Peterson
[4] and
A.C. Roper, Jr.
[5].
Secondly,
CSO
John W. Raymond
is being appointed to the permanent grade of Major General. Any idea on what this means, whether he is retiring as a MG, did not reach the three-year limit needed to retire as a four-star or is just being promoted to permanent Major General with no relation to his temporary rank of General?

Even though I think it's likely, wasn't GEN LaCamera's original nomination as USFK commander returned to the President without action?

If both are true, that means Koehler was acting commander for a fair few hours. Given that the USPACFLT commander list also includes acting commanders, how do I proceed?

Given your "expertise" in selecting potential four-star appointments in the future, I was wondering who your likely picks would be for these positions (whose terms started in 2018/2019): Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Commander, U.S. Cyber Command, and Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command. With Nakasone and Grady approaching the ends of their customary terms for CDRUSCYBERCOM and COMUSFF, and Hyten not seeking a third term, do you think a four-star will be laterally promoted to replace them or a member of the three-star pool, respectively? And for the joint positions, which service's counterpart (esp. for CYBERCOM, which would have the ARCYBER, FCC, 16 AF and DCI positions as the three-star hopefuls) has the best chance of taking the titles?

I read in the citation [1] that Congress apparently limited the Space Force to create only one new four-star position: the Chief of Space Operations and thus could not create any new ones for the time being, meaning that at least 1 more four-star billet (and for the three-star billets, 5) had to be transferred from the Air Force. Is there any record of said move reducing the statutory cap on Air Force four-star officers by one, i.e. from 9 four-stars to 8 four-stars? Having read U.S. Code Chapter 908 (Space Force), nothing in it seems to mention any changes to 10 U.S.C. § 525, despite the office of CSO and VCSO already existing for almost two years now. Is there any sources available that reconcile this, some section in an NDAA somewhere? This may have some effects on accuracy in the List of active duty United States four-star officers#Statutory limits page.
On a related note, it seems the Cornell U.S. Code four-star Army officer cap no longer matches the aforementioned four-star Wikipedia page. I quote from there:
(1) in the Army, if that appointment would result in more than—
- (A) 8 officers in the grade of general; Four-star page quotes as 7
I intended to make the necessary changes, but given I lack the literacy on these types of law changes, I wanted to run this and the above through you first to make sure I know of any changes made.

GOMO lists Richardson's date of rank as 29 October 2021, not the 18th when the actual ceremony took place.

Now we have the CJCS. It's almost certain to me that an Air Force general will be selected to succeed Milley since there's a strong desire to have that service take the chair (which would make CQ the first Air Force CJCS since Myers), especially since the whole Goldfein thing. Let's, however, entertain the possibility that a non-JCS member is appointed as chairman, since 10 U.S.C. § 152 provides that the chairman must have served as vice chairman, a service chief, or a combatant commander prior. Meaning, that, unless the president waives such requirements in the national interest, the chief of the National Guard Bureau cannot, and realistically will never be, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The last non-JCS member to be appointed chairman was IIRC, General Hugh Shelton.

How about USEUCOM? Personally think Cavoli is the top choice, plus his tour as USAREUR-AF commander, if his three-star tenure as USAREUR commander is counted, should be coming to an end soon. Plus, a little below a decade before he has to retire. Additionally, for the case of an Army deputy commander, Lieutenant General Howard is approaching the tenure that his recent predecessors have departed at: around 1 year and 200-300 days, so those chances increase if a new deputy commander from a different service comes in.

@ Neovu79: What do you think are the chances that Wolters' term gets extended because of the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine? Would you say it's likely? KingEdinburgh ( talk) 05:25, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
@ Neovu79: @ KingEdinburgh: Seems my top choices for the CDRUSEUCOM/SACEUR role have been flushed down the toilet since both Burke and Harrigian are retiring. So, especially to you, KingEdinburgh, is Cavoli a clear shot for the nomination now? Do you have any other dark-horse candidates in mind? SuperWIKI ( talk) 07:08, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
@ Neovu79: Who do you think is best placed to replace GEN McConville as chief of staff of the Army next year? Assuming that an Army incumbent in any position isn't nominated one year or less into their term, or that they don't deep-select from three-star officers, I have the current VCSA Joseph M. Martin, TRADOC commander Paul E. Funk II, and (least likely to me) USAREUR-AF commander Christopher G. Cavoli as the most likely hopefuls. Personally, I have Martin as my top choice.

I know they report for operational purposes to their respective combatant commanders in their positions as service component commanders. However, for administrative purposes, do they report to their service secretaries or the service chiefs (i.e. the Chief of Naval Operations and Chief of Staff of the United States Army)? SuperWIKI ( talk) 08:55, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
LTG Michael E. Kurilla and VADM Frank D. Whitworth have been nominated to new positions, the former of which includes a promotion to general. In my opinion, Kurilla is likely to replace GEN Clarke as commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, since Clarke already has more than two years in tenure and Kurilla has several years of general officer experience in the Joint Staff and Joint Special Operations Command. Bonus points for being Clarke's successor as commander of the 75th Ranger Regiment. I mean, he could also be a contender to replace Gen McKenzie at CENTCOM, given his time as chief of staff, plus McKenzie assumed command around the same time as Clarke. Given, however, that CENTCOM hasn't appointed a three-star Army general directly to command CENTCOM since GEN Abizaid in 2003 (plus I'm favouring GEN Garrett for CENTCOM), I think it's a long shot. I almost believed Kurilla could be the nominee for Futures Command, but he doesn't have any of the budget or logistics expertise that GEN Murray had.
For Whitworth, I'm asking because he's a career intelligence officer, and that career path has only a few possible positions which he can be nominated for. Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, Director of the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center and Director of Naval Intelligence.
For both officers, what are your thoughts? Pinging @ KingEdinburgh: to loop him in, since he updated the nominations first. SuperWIKI ( talk) 12:02, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Just wanted to give you a heads-up, I've begun requesting colour corrections of military portraits on the Wikimedia photography workshop. Additionally, are there any official military portraits you've noticed with any glaring visual issues, like poor colouring, signatures/writing on the image, etc.? I can make requests for those too. Thanks! SuperWIKI ( talk) 14:40, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

116 Stat. 2487 of the 2003 National Defense Authorization Act establishes a Department of Defense Test Resource Management Center and assigned the director the statutory grade of lieutenant general or vice admiral. Was this position, as a three-star office, ever actually established? Even if under a different name? I can't find any sort of evidence supporting an actual establishment.

Hi! Quick question. Raymond's retirement ceremony was held in November 2022 but his official retirement date per his certificate of retirement is 1 January 2023. Should we use 2023 instead of 2022 for his service years? Thanks. KingEdinburgh ( talk) 12:58, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Hey Neovu79! I've been following your nomination of this page. Here's some places where citations could be helpful. I'm preoccupied with proofreading and organizing the recent wave of two-star nominations so I won't be able to assist in detail; however, this may raise the quality of the page to convince reviewers.
The retirement for age subsection. Citations on dates of birth, year placed on active duty (which should be in their official service biographies), year they would have retired under standard limits (example: for Mullen, cite the version of the U.S. Code section he would've retired under in 2008. Append to that a note that Mullen was subject to this rule), date they assumed the office that placed them higher than retirement age (CJCS, CNGB, etc.) and the date they actually retired. Don't think there's a need to cite the exact age at which they retired if we have the start and end dates ( WP:BLUE, if you think it counts as such).
The promotion track subsection. Citations on year VADM was appointed to admiral, role their predecessor was re-assigned to, role their' predecessor was re-assigned to, and year their predecessor retired. Again, I don't think there's a need to cite the exact age at which they retired if we have the start and end dates ( WP:BLUE, if you think it counts as such).
The 60-day rule subsection. Same rules.
Four-star officers typically step down from their posts up to 60 days in advance of their official retirement dates. Officers retire on the first day of the month, so once a retirement month has been selected, the relief and retirement ceremonies are scheduled by counting backwards from that date by the number of days of accumulated leave remaining to the retiring officer. During this period, termed transition leave or terminal leave, the officer is considered to be awaiting retirement but still on active duty.
The presidential waiver section. Same rules. Additionally, ADM Rickover is not an example of a presidential waiver at least from the text, it should be noted as such.
A statutory limit can be waived by the president with the consent of Congress if it serves national interest. However, this is extremely rare.

The article Jack Burns (American football coach) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Hi Neovu79! I'll be leaving for mandatory national service on 11 July, and will be in rotation for about 2 years. For at least the first two months of service, I will be in basic training. As such, until I transition to vocational training (which by nature of my physical standards will be clerical shift work), I won't be free to update and edit the usual pages as much as I used to during this two-month period.
So, if it doesn't inconvenience you and the other users I'm messaging, I just wanted to give notice on these issues and hope for your help in updating the usual Wikipedia articles as necessary. I thank you for the help.
P.S. Due to your personal scheduling issues, I just wanted to reassure you if you don't see frequent edits on the List of active duty United States four-star officers. SuperWIKI ( talk) 07:54, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her), via:
