More on your ship cover

Say, do you know who did the cachet on File:Ship Cover USS Brevard (AK-164) 1946.jpg ? If it was somebody like Artcraft, they would likely have a valid copyright on the artwork, and so the cover could not be in the public domain unless they released it. If it was a Navy person, and done on the job, it would be validly PD. (The 1930s cover I uploaded just has a plain text cachet, so nothing copyrightable there.)

Image source problem with Image:4th CAG at USMC War Memorial August 2004.jpg

Image Copyright problem
Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:4th CAG at USMC War Memorial August 2004.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:59, 18 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Thank you for uploading File:4th CAG at USMC War Memorial August 2004.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 00:22, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of museums in the United States

Thank you for your work on List of museums in the United States! It is very helpful. Feel free to edit areas where I've added icons too. Here is how they work (I will explain this better on the talk page eventually:


{{museum|TYPE}}[[WIKI LINK]]<br>

TYPE is where I enter the type of museum it is. You can see all the types currently available here: Template:Museum

WIKI LINK is the Wikipedia link to that museum's page. If there is no Wikipedia page for that museum, then I use this format:


{{museum|TYPE}}[[WIKI LINK]] | [http://WEB LINK/ web]<br>

I still provide a Wikipedia link even though there is no page. This way we will get a red link that can be clicked for someone to easily add the page. In this situation (where there's no Wikipedia article), I also add WEB LINK to that museum's website. I do not do this for museums that already have Wikipedia pages because the website should be on that respective page.


Here are some locations where you need spaces and where you can't have spaces:

{{museum|TYPE}}(NO SPACE)[[WIKI LINK]](SPACE)|(SPACE)[http://WEB LINK/(SPACE)web]<br>

I have not found a way around using <br> on the end.

<br /> tags

I see that you're using proper <br /> tags. I had chosen to use regular <br> just plainly for simplicity. I want to make it as simple as absolutely possible so people don't take one look and immediately turn away when they want to add a museum. It is more confusing than it was before especially to someone who doesn't really know Wiki/HTML markup. Wikimedia automatically converts <br> to <br /> when it parses the page. For example, if you look in the page source somewhere where I did a <br>, you'll see that it does turn up as a proper <br />. I'd appreciate if you used regular <br> so it's all consistent.


Thanks again for your help with this article. I will also write this in its discussion page when I get around to it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ben Boldt (talk • contribs) 17:27, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Closed museums

Hi, FieldMarine.

It doesn't say anything about closed museums - you are right. But I believe that List of museums in the United States should only contain museums that still are open. I think I should start List of defunct museums in the United States for closed museums. It's good that you raised this issue because I may have forgotten that I did that. I don't know if you noticed but the closed museums are still in the page but they are commented out with <!-- and --> tags. So we don't have to dig through the history to find them. I believe that I removed 3 closed museums if I can remember right.

You mentioned earlier about alphabetizing the icon key. I think this is a good idea, but I have them sort of grouped so similar ones are together. Is this okay with you?

I would like to work together on these issues and find a solution that suits us both. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ben Boldt (talk • contribs) 17:17, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Transferring list of museums comments

Thanks!

Ben Boldt (talk) 17:18, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would have done things differently... I think the table format is bloated and looks sloppy. I think if you want to see more info about a museum, you should click on it and view the article and leave the list nice and concise. I would like to have the map at the top of each page to navigate between them too. We should brainstorm for a while and think about what needs to be done to make this better because I agree that it seems almost destroyed in its current state. We could work on some stuff in some sandboxes for a while and when we get things looking better we could ask around and see if people support our ideas. Because I have a feeling if we don't have some backup this guy is going to undo all the changes...

I really think the lists should contain only the name and the icon to show what kind it is, plus a web link if there's no article, just like how it was before. I thought it was very easy to read.

Please revert list of museums in US stuff!

I would like it if you did that. It would not be convincing if I did it because I already did it once and he RE-DID his changes and continued on even after I told him to hold on for us to discuss his changes. If two separate people undo his disaster then we have more leverage.

Reverting is easier if you install Twinkle into your Wikipedia account. Here's how:

Create this page: User:FieldMarine/monobook.js

Vernon Court

Not all landmarks are buildings or structures. For example, Sugarloaf Mountain, in Rio de Janeiro, is a landmark. Therefore you were wrong to eliminate this category. MdArtLover (talk) 12:43, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings -- I have been to the Vernon Court & it is very nice. On this article article, I eliminated the Category:Houses because the article already contained Category:Houses in Rhode Island, which is a subcat of Category:Houses. Thus, it is redundant to have it in the upper level category when it is covered by a lower level, more specific category. So I am unclear about your comment regarding Landmarks or buildings category -- these categories remain unchanged. What exactly do you disagree with?

US Museum discussions

I've asked Ben Boldt to comment on the discussion at Talk:List of museums in the United States when he gets back. After he's commented (or if he still hasn't been back to Wikipedia after a few more days), I think it's time to wrap up the discussions and decide that we have a consensus on what the lists should look like to start out with. I've begun adding lots of museums from the online list you had linked to, starting with List of museums in Rhode Island and List of museums in Maine. Sound good?

I've clarified my comments at CFD on defunct museum catgories. I have no axe to grind on this one, but I do get fed up of editors (not you) proposing to upmerge an intersection category to only one of its parents.

  • I took the museums in all the state defunct museum categories and stuck them into "Defunct museums" sections at the bottom of each relevant state list-of-museums article. So at least not all of your work with them was in vain. I can't support keeping the categories, but I don't feel strongly about it. At some point when there are more museums to fill the categories, they'll be restored. In fact, I think it's inevitable, but I don't think there will be enough support for keeping them now.

Museum lists inclusion criteria

Hi FM,

Could you please look at this diff at the Alaska museum list talk page and tell me if you think that's a good way of posting it? I'd like your advice before I put a copy of that on all the other talk pages. I think the Talk:List of museums in Alabama]] page already says the same thing but with different language. If you think the Alabama page should be changed, how would you do it? I'm really not sure. If you want to make changes there, feel free, but I won't. Noroton (talk) 03:13, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(1) Why not add a sentence on the talk page "Inclusion criteria" section that reads: "Also inappropriate for this list are planetariums, List of aquaria and List of zoos, which have their own lists."? I'd include the links I include here but mask them with the words "aquaria" and "zoos". I wouldn't imply that it was the paragraph that got consensus, I'd just state it in the next paragraph. I'd also like to include a sentence at the top of every list noting that there is a "See also" section at the bottom where other institutions are listed. I think doing all that would do the trick.
(2) No, I don't like including the closed museums in the regular list at all. I think it just introduces needless confusion for the reader. The sortable lists allow us to quickly group like items and narrow down searches. I don't see any reason why someone would want closed and open museums in the same bunch. It's just easier all around to separate open and closed museums into different lists.

(3) I like the General information section you added. Why don't I add that when I add the other section to the talk page.

If you agree to what I'm suggesting here, I'll begin making the changes across all the state lists. Noroton (talk) 22:17, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I'll start doing it then. By the way, as to the regions: I'd like to try them out. If there's a disagreement about regions, it seems to me it can be solved simply by listing the counties that are in each region. If regions are vague, I don't see that as a major problem, because I don't think it will cause major confusion. Any reader really confused can look up the town link, which often comes with a little map (at least they do in Connecticut) or maps are available on the web. The "region" is named just to give people an idea that certain museums are in the same general area. If needed, it wouldn't be too difficult to list the Alabama counties that we could put in each of the regions I name in that listing. My intention is to leave the "region" column empty in most states and maybe someone from that state would fill it in. I might fill in the equivalent of "Birmingham area" for major cities in a state, but again, I don't see vagueness as a problem initially, and if it becomes a problem I think it can be worked out. At least, I think so. Noroton (talk) 00:33, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your message, and for asking me if I had anny objections on renaming Wickham Park, Manchester, CT to Wickham Park (Manchester, Connecticut).

I do not have any objections at all to the suggested change of name. The only reason why I changed the name — from Wickham Park to Wickham Park, Manchester, CT — was to differentiate it from Wickham Park here in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia (where I live).

Old Jail Museum

This was my reasoning in separating the pages: There are many jail and prison museums that don't have "Old Jail" in their name. I think we agree that some list of these museums is useful on Wikipedia. But disambiguation pages are only for disambiguating names, as Wikipedia:Disambiguation repeatedly states. If there were some overriding, overwhelming reason to contradict the guideline, I would have no problem with that, but it seems to me that the separate list would serve the separate purpose of listing all the museums and doing it in different ways from the disambiguation page. For instance, we might make the "List of prison museums" a sortable table or organize it by geography. Both pages should link to each other, of course. I'm also concerned about the title "Old Jail Museum", which is fine for a disambiguation page but doesn't fit Wikipedia style for article pages. Therefore either readers won't be able to figure out the prison museum list by themselves and simply type it in the search function, or we need redirect pages. Redirect pages take up about as much space on Wikipedia's servers as a prison list page would. So what's the point in combining them? I see no confusion or extra work involved in having two pages. Ultimately, uniform style helps readers concentrate on what they're looking for rather than having to adjust to different list styles on the same subject. Noroton (talk) 13:47, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I posted a comment at Talk:List of jail and prison museums and suggest that the discussion continue there. --Coppertwig (talk) 02:03, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your advice would be welcome

I'd like to pick your brain about two different things:

  1. I recently created List of science museums in the United States and, more as an experiment than anything else, I created three different columns on the subject of "type". The idea was to try to better capture the subjects covered in the museum in a way that would allow someone to search for those that might have a secondary focus on something. But I have a lot of doubts that it can work well, and it may just be confusing. If you're interested, please take a look and tell me what you think on the talk page there.
  1. I discovered Category:Prison museums which has a subcategory for prison museums in Australia. Whatever we do with the disambiguation page (and two editors from WP:MOSDAB are saying we should combine them, and I can go along with that), do you think it would be better to have a separate United States list (and maybe an Australian list and a U.K. list) or should we combine them into one worldwide list?

Re the table in the list of science museums: It looks great to me. You might want to consider deleting the "tertiary" column unless you have a reasonable hope that there will eventually be at least several entries in it; renaming the "tertiary" column to "Other focus" or just "Tertiary focus"; and/or renaming the "Notes" column to "Official museum website" or something.
Re categories and splitting pages: the way the categories are organized does not have to be the same as the way the list(s) is/are organized; it could be argued that it's better for them to be different, otherwise they're giving redundant information (though it could also be argued that it's better for them to be the same, so never mind -- just organize each one, lists or categories, in the way that makes the most sense without regard to how the other is organized; at least, that's my suggestion but I don't have experience with that particular situation.) Re splitting a page: I would suggest having them all on one page unless that page is overly long, a large number of screenfuls of information, and splitting them would result in most of the smaller pages being more than one screenful long. When considering how to split them, you need to consider WP:NPOV. I think it might not be NPOV to have one United States list and one "everything except the United States" list. It just doesn't seem like a balanced international point of view to do that. Or, maybe it would be OK. I'm not sure. You could consider splitting them by continent or something. It's OK, in my opinion, to have a few pages that are for individual countries or continents and other pages that are for a group of many countries or continents, if some countries or continents don't have enough entries to justify a page by themselves. Use your judgement as to how long is too long for one page; or see WP:SUMMARY which says "What constitutes 'too long' is largely based on the topic, but generally 30KB of prose is the starting point where articles may be considered too long." For lists, it may be a smaller number of bytes representing a similar number of screenfuls of information to an article of that length; or maybe it really is the number of bytes that's important. If nobody else objects, it's largely up to you how to do it.
I think both of you are doing good work here. These lists of museums look quite useful. Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia.  :-) --Coppertwig (talk) 13:53, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FM, Good question, I think I errored... I was searching for other Aviation Hall of Fames, finding the Florida HOF and in looking for the Florida Aviation Historical Society I hit on the Florida History Society, and must have thought "eureka!" and dropped the references accordingly.

Notability of Eau Gallie Yacht Club

A tag has been placed on Eau Gallie Yacht Club requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 15:16, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]


National monuments

Could you please explain why you depopulated the category and requested speedy deletion of the category? Many of your edits seem to be unhelpful. Bastin 22:33, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

The eliminated category was redundant & confusing considering the existing, well used cat Monuments & memorials. The large majority of monuments in almost all countries are actually listed under the cat Monuments & memorials with only a few in the singular Monuments cat. Additionally, there is no corresponding National memorials cat to match the National monuments cat. By eliminating the National monuments cat, there are useful & more consistent groupings. For example, National Memorials of the U.S. and National Monuments of the U.S. are collocated under the Cat Memorial and monuments in the US, making it much easier to navigate & provides better hierarchical structure & logical taxonomy. What problem specifically do you have with organizing in that manner? Thanks! FieldMarine (talk) 23:02, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Category:National monuments was a subcategory of Category:Monuments and memorials. Hence, the fact that the latter category is well-used is hardly surprising, and the fact that a separate subcategory existed for national monuments is entirely appropriate. If the concern was that there is assymetry, you should have done was proposed renaming Category:National monuments to Category:National monuments and memorials under the process of WP:CfR. Depopulating a category manually for the purpose of making it qualify for speedy deletion is vandalism. I am fixing the issue now. Bastin 23:25, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Refining categories & eliminating redundant ones is not vandalism...it's done on a daily basis in wikipedia. These categories still don't follow a logical flow. Thanks! FieldMarine (talk) 05:42, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Leatherneck

I would like to create a separate article for United States Marine Corps use of the term Leatherneck for use in redirects in main articles written about Marines. I was thinking I could move the current Leatherneck article to “Leatherneck (disambiguation)” so I could use that article title for the article currently located at User:FieldMarine/Sandbox 2. I would like your opinion on that? Thanks! FieldMarine (talk) 05:01, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The USMC use is certainly the primary meaning of the term, and there is no other article with that exact title, so the move makes sense to me. Cheers --ShelfSkewed Talk 05:12, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cat Order Question

Quick question because I'm still learning about categories. I noticed in this edit you changed the order of the cats. Is there a guideline somewhere as to the order? I admit to being guilty of listing rather haphazardly. Thanks! TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 04:43, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes I alphabetize cats if I make a change to one & in this case, the change was making "Defunct Museums" to "Defunct Museums in the United States". This sometimes adds to consistency across the board, but not always. I'm not aware of any guidance for ordering cats. If there is a logical reason to order them differently, I would go for it. Thanks! FieldMarine (talk) 14:27, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, no logical reason to do it otherwise. I tend to just add on when I find a new or missed cat. TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 15:30, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Aquaria in Venezuela

A tag has been placed on Aquaria in Venezuela requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Oore (talk) 04:53, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting your opinion

My fellow comrades, I'm requesting your participation 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 biography his participation in the so-called "Surge" or to simply "link" said Surge to an article about said subject. Thank you. Tony the Marine (talk) 22:35, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thank you all for your valued participation and suggestions on the Gen. Raymond T. Odierno biography. The edit "protection" of the aticle will be lifted soon. Consensus suggest that additional info should be included for his early life and career. Career history should go after the "Early life and education" section. It is recognized that the general's involvement in the planning and undertaking of the surge is notable and should be included in the article, however it should be limited in scope to what was verifiably done by the general and should not weigh too heavily on that particular subject in order to to have a more balanced biography.

Freeport of Monrovia

About your note and referencing. The way you had it you would need to have both the "Note" section and the "References" section, such as seen here: Felice Beato. If instead you do as I have, and you can see an example here, 7 World Trade Center, or on one of the 25 GAs and 1 FA I've personal done here, you can combine them into one section. Combining them tends to make sense on small articles like this, or when the sources used are generally small (in the way of page numbers, thus less need for "Johnson, pp. 14-16" followed by "Ibid., p. 76" and the like). And generally since FA changed the criteria to require inline citations, the old way described on WP:CITE where there is a general references section is a bit depreciated. The more standard way can be seen at a current FA candidate, USS Constitution. There the ref section is as it is on the Freeport, and the notes are more of a explanatory type note and not references. Hopefully this helps, but let me know if you have questions or disagree. Thanks. Aboutmovies (talk) 06:58, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Marine museum

Hey there Field Marine, according to the article Marine Corps Museum, the museum was never located in Virginia (though the current National Museum of the Marine Corps, which has its own article and is linked from this article) and the museum is not operating in D.C. anymore, so it's not a museum in D.C. Scarykitty (talk) 19:13, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think the "Museums in" category should be limited to currently operating museums. The category Defunct museums in the United States might later be split into Defunct museums in Virginia and the like, but until then, I think it's overcategorization to have the 3 categories (defunct, DC, Virginia).

Plumb House (Waynesboro, Virginia) and other NRHP articles

Hi, i came across the article you created on Plumb House (Waynesboro, Virginia) back in 2007. Nice job, thanks for starting it with link to the PDF NRHP application document for it and so on. I notice, though, that you apparently manually created the NRHP infobox on the page, probably without knowledge that there is a tool available to create NRHP infoboxes more easily and more completely. You might want to check it out, if you might create other articles on the List of RHPs in VA or otherwise. To use it, just visit http://www2.elkman.net/nrhp/infobox.php, and enter, say, "Plumb" and "VA". It generates output with a filled-out infobox ready to be cut and pasted into your new article. I just used it to update the Plumb House infobox to include latitude and longitude coordinates and to display a map. It comes in with a suitable footnote stating that the data was sourced from the National Register Information System (NRIS) in April 2008, which is the date of a big download by User:Elkman into his infobox tool system. That April 2008 date should not be changed to a current date unless of course you go to NRIS and get new data from there. You can add other info to the infobox, in which case it is usually appropriate to footnote the fields that you add to. Perhaps you may find the tool useful, and I hope you might consider developing more VA NRHP articles. Let me know if you have any questions. Anyhow, nice work on the Plumb article. :) doncram (talk) 16:57, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was the only link from Wikipedia from quite a while that offered any information about the Island that I live at.

If that is the new rules that sites that offer a link for income then please remove all the other links that recieve money from the businesses such as http://www.chincoteagueislandvacations.com/, http://www.chincoteague-island.net/ , http://www.chincoteaguewaves.com/ and www.Chincoteaguechamber.com. These companies charge for a link as I do. We offer good content that takes a lot of time and many of us do not have the luxury of retirement income from the government and have to make an honest living. I've tried to find your email address or real name to no avail to discuss this in a civil manor. If you keep removing my links then my last resort is to report you to the Wikipedia Gods and hope I find justice there. You can find my contact iformation from my site that you keep deleting.Kandmmann (talk) 23:46, 20 April 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kandmmann (talk • contribs) 23:42, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

911 at NORTHCOM - The Marines and the Babies Seven Years Ago


Wolf- Just came from the memorial ceremony here at NORTHCOM. LTC (CH) Robert Leivers led the group in a ceremony here at the headquarters. During the ceremony, he relayed this little-known story from the Pentagon on 9/11:


"During a visit with a fellow chaplain, who happened to be assigned to the Pentagon, I had a chance to hear a first-hand account of an incident that happened right after Flt 77 hit the Pentagon. The Chaplain told me what happened at a daycare center near where the impact occurred.

"This daycare had many children, including infants who were in heavy cribs. The daycare supervisor, looking at all the children they needed to evacuate, was in a panic over what they could do; there were many children, mostly toddlers, as well as the infants that would need to be taken out with the cribs. There was no time to try to bundle them into carriers and strollers.

"Just then a young Marine came running into the center and asked what they needed. After hearing what the center director was trying to do, he ran back out into the hallway and disappeared. The director thought, 'well, there we are- on our own.' About 2 minutes later, that Marine returned with 40 others in tow. Each of them grabbed a crib with a child, and the rest started gathering up toddlers. The director and her staff then helped them take all the children out of the center and down toward the park near the Potomac and the Pentagon.

"Once they got about 3/4 of a mile outside the building, the Marines stopped in the park, and then did a fabulous thing- they formed a circle with the cribs, which were quite sturdy and heavy, like the covered wagons in the West. Inside this circle of cribs, they put the toddlers, to keep them from wandering off. Outside this circle were the 40 Marines, forming a perimeter around the children and waiting for instructions. There they remained until the parents could be notified and come get their children."

Wolf: The NORTHCOM chaplain then said- "I don't think any of us saw nor heard of this on any of the news stories of the day. It was an incredible story of our men there.

I must say- there wasn't a dry eye in the room. The thought of those Marines and what they did and how fast they reacted- could we expect any less from them?? It was one of the most touching stories from the Pentagon I've EVER heard.

Speedy deletion nomination of The Quigley

A tag has been placed on The Quigley requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. — Parent5446 ☯ (message email) 04:08, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Epps monoplanes

Hi FieldMarine and thanks for the article on Epps' first aircraft -- I was really interested to learn about this one; I hadn't heard of Epps before, and am always impressed by the pioneers who did it all from scratch "the hard way".

I've moved this particular aircraft back to Epps 1907 Monoplane — as you might know, Epps actually built five completely unrelated monoplane designs between 1907 and 1924. While "1907 Monoplane" is no doubt a name applied retroactively to this particular design, builder-year-description is how aviation histories designate otherwise unnamed designs from this early period. In this specific case, "1907 Monoplane" is the name assigned in The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum Directory of Airplanes: their Designers and Manufacturers; however, if you've got another source with a different name for this specific design, then we should include that in the article too.

Thanks again for finding this one! Cheers --Rlandmann (talk) 12:09, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying to understand what you mean by "article should be kept in a series". Why move the disambiguation page to the 1909 aircraft? --Rlandmann (talk) 12:25, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

FOB Delaram

Hi FieldMarine. I was curious about the location of Delaram, not having much information about it on wiki, and thus specifically looked it up. I found a reference in the ISAF Mirror, sourced it, and thus changed the province. Unless you have better evidence than a specific WP:V verifiable source, that the province has been changed since April 2007, I'm going to change the province again. If you have such information, add it, AND RETAIN THE PREVIOUS FARAH NOTE!! It is really useful info to have that the district has been repeatedly shuffled between Farah and Nimruz. Thus people are not confused with conflicting references next time! Buckshot06 (talk) 07:18, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain "commonscat" template insertion

You just added this template to the External Links section of PTSD. I don't know what it does/is, and cannot seem to find information about it. Can you direct me? THANKS! Tom Cloyd (talk) 23:15, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I found some limited info on the template here. Basically, commonscat provides a link to Wikipedia’s sister project called Wikimedia Commons, a storehouse of media. The template provides a direct link to media related to the subject of the article. It's all part of the wikipedia family. Check it out, you'll find it a good companion to Wikipeida. I hope that helps. FieldMarine (talk) 00:33, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oh. Very good. I will check it out. Assuming there's related content there, that's definitely a quality addition to the article (which is my pet project, since I treat PTSD). I'm surprised that it was so difficult (impossible for me) to find documentation on the template. Thanks for the quick response, and the contribution. Tom Cloyd (talk) 01:00, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Just checked it out. That's a superb little brochure. One of the very best I've ever seen. Hooray for the folks at the US DOD! (And for you, for giving us a link to it.) I wonder if a higher resolution PDF is obtainable. That information is just so totally correct (which is not always what I find, sadly). I'd like a more readable image, if possible. I'll investigate. This brochure deserves widespread dissemination, and not just in the military-related populations. Tom Cloyd (talk) 01:07, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Glad to hear it will be helpful & thanks for your work with vets. Please check out MilitaryMentalHealth.org - it's relatively new resource, but I don't know how useful it is honestly. FieldMarine (talk) 01:11, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Commonscat

No its not wrong to use commonscat but it redirects to Commpons category. Redirects for templates sometimes cause problems in outside applicatoins that use WP articles such as facebook or Wikibooks. I don't know that this particular one is a problem but since it is a template I change it to direct to the main location as a minor edit if I happen to be on that article making other changes.

Kent School

Who are you to determine what is "unimportant" and "non-notable"? Take a look at the majority of other prep school entries. Many list the college matriculation.

  • Some other agenda is afoot. I nominated three other articles for deletion, which only resulted in personal attacks against me.

Gamweb (talk) 04:24, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There is no other agenda afoot here Gamweb. You incorrectly processed three articles for deletion apparently trying to make a point as one of your articles was nominated for deletion. AFD is not grounds for tantrums or fights with other editors. If you have an issue with another editor, there are numerous avenues that you can take, such as getting a third opinion, request for comment, or The administrators noticeboard. Don't accuse an uninvolved individual as having an agenda. The articles would have been snowballed closed anyway. I'm also posting this on your talk page. Dusti*poke* 05:09, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If you had bothered to review the history of the three pages that are falsely "attributed" to me, you would have noticed that I do not have even one edit on any of them. The argument used against me is inaccurate and irrelevant. Gamweb (talk) 08:38, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Edit History of BCR 509
Edit History of BCR 511
Edit History of BCR 516

There is no "agenda" here. There is a desire to purge all of the non-notable highway articles from the encyclopedia. If an article can't satisfy the General Notability Guideline, it should not have an article, period. If an article subject is not notable, that does not mean the county's roads, as a system, are not notable and worthy of a list article. That's why I've attempted to merge the recent articles, which is a valid outcome of the AfD process. Imzadi 1979 → 02:38, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder if those voting to "merge" know that means truthfully deleting the article, reducing it to one line to fit within the parameters of someone's table. Not a true merger at all. Student7 (talk) 21:58, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
My sentiments exactly. It's a deletion, with parts merged to a list article. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 22:01, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
See this edit. It would not be reduced to one line in the merger. P.S. in converting the current article into a redirect, the full editing history is preserved. If it were truly deleted, that history would be gone. Imzadi 1979 → 22:26, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It looks to me like the history is left at the redirect article, making it essentially invisible in the new "merged" article. However, i'm not an expert on this part. FieldMarine (talk) 02:06, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:C. C. Cambreleng Historical Marker 1.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:C. C. Cambreleng Historical Marker 1.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Logan Talk Contributions 05:28, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Gettysburg is in Pennsylvania, not Virginia

Which makes the title of File:Smedley D. Butler at Gettysburg, Virginia in 1922.jpg seem quite strange. You can ask at commons how to change this, but I think it's a simple notice in the file.

As far as the notice immediately above, folks can get pretty picky these days. I assume that User:Field Marine is the owner of the copyright - if so just tell User:Logan that fact and request that he not make you jump through the ridiculous hoop he is proposing. This is complicated by the rule that editors are not supposed to reveal other editors real names. If I were you I would just upload everything using your user name. If you want attribution using your real name, then you'll have to release it publicly in any case. Maybe one OTRS would cover all of your uploads, but it could get very complicated.

Another possibility of the problem above is that User:Logan thinks that the text of the marker is copyrighted. The answer to that is that the text was published in 1956 (on the lower right hand corner of the sign) without copyright notice - which means that it is in the public domain. Contact me please if anybody disputes that, and I'll get the exact references needed.

Edit warring

You appear to be edit warring over the inclusion of a link to Ponce de León Island in the Melbourne Beach, Florida article. You have reverted on the Melbourne Beach article three times today. The three-revert rule states, "An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Violations of the rule normally attract blocks of at least 24 hours. Any appearance of gaming the system by reverting a fourth time just outside the 24-hour slot is likely to be treated as a 3RR violation." Please keep this in mind. The proper means for dealing with this dispute is to discuss it on the article talk page. -- Donald Albury 18:17, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Florida cultural events

Hi FieldMarine :-)

I now live in Saint Augustine, Florida, and plan to work with cultural heritage organizations and institutions in the area. I'm reaching out to you because you edit loads of articles about FL, museums, and historical places.

Do you have any interest in doing either outreach to cultural heritage organizations in FL or on wiki assistance to new editors from this sector.

In particular, I want to get the ball rolling planning Florida events related to Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 that will happen in September 2012. This years focus in the US is images of places on the National Register of Historic Places. While living in Kentucky, my husband and I took and uploaded images of places on the NRHP so I have a general idea of the process. I'm most interested in finding the gaps in coverage of historical sites in FL, and figuring out the best way to get these covered with local events. Maybe road trips to get some images in the outlying areas. We have a good amount of lead time so I think that this is doable.

Additionally, I plan to work with the Saint Augustine 450 Commemoration (a four year initiative to celebrate the founding of Saint Augustine and settlement of FL through educational and legacy projects) to see how that we can add value to their current events, and possibly plan some joint initiatives.

I'm also working with User:LoriLee, the U.S. Cultural Partnerships Coordinator for the Wikimedia Foundation, to create an listing of cultural organizations and institutions in the United States, and WMF volunteers interested in working with these organizations. The beginning stages of it are at Wikipedia:GLAM/US/Connect. We also plan to have State specific pages that link to the Wikiproject for each state.

Would love to hear your thoughts and idea, and to see if you have an interest in one or more of these projects? FloNight♥♥♥♥ 21:08, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Arnold L. Punaro

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Arnold L. Punaro requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that your page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the page be "userfied" or emailed to you. FrigidNinja (talk) 00:21, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Arnold L. Punaro requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://punarogroup.com/about-the-punaro-group/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

3d revert on Semper fidelis

What does "3d revert" mean? Mesoso2 (talk) 22:07, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please see here. IMHO, it's better to take it to the talk page to iron out the path forward. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 22:17, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I dont think I was edit warring, since i was amending what i was editing to, not repeating the same version. I am still not sure what "3d" is meant to mean. If it is 3rd, then it was inaccurate, and if it is three-dimensional, then I don't really understand. Mesoso2 (talk) 19:36, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
My apologies as I was not clear. See the link embedded in the word "here", on my comment above. That will take you to the article about the 3 revert rule. My strong recommendation is to take any change to this long established intro to the talk page, so consensus can be achieved if you think it should be changed. You may have a compelling case for change, which, IMHO, should be articulated in the talk page. Personally, I think you made some good changes overall to the article, but there have been many versions of the intro through the years. The one now has been stable for some time now. Semper Fi!

Saw you weigh in at Sergeant Reckless. Be careful with this newbie, if she is who she says she is, we have a WP:COI and [{WP:OR]] problem. We need someone else to get that book and read it. Also, the article is already GA-class, so that means we need to stick with consistent formatting (which in this article used sfn formatting) and not go mucking up the WP:LEDE unless we change the body text in parallel. You've been around here a long time, so you know that if we have an article that's been all cleaned and passed GAN, we don't want to get it thrown to GAR territory by formatting inconsistencies and stuff like that.

Great! I don't know how familiar you are with portals / the USMC portal. The minimal maintenance is creating monthly updates for the biography & monthly quote. Also need to continue finding new "did you know" items to rotate into the list. Near the top of the talk page, there are links to the locations for biography & the quote. (Also see the Portal Maintenance section.) We used to have a monthly article, image, and an "In the News" section. But, those are dormant for now. Take some time to look at the formatting/details of the Portal, then get back with me and we can coordinate. Thanks!! — ERcheck (talk) 04:05, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to WikiProject Portals

The Portals WikiProject has been rebooted.

You are invited to join, and participate in the effort to revitalize and improve the Portal system and all the portals in it.

There are sections on the WikiProject page dedicated to tasks (including WikiGnome tasks too), and areas on the talk page for discussing the improvement and automation of the various features of portals.

Many complaints have been lodged in the RfC to delete all portals, pointing out their various problems. They say that many portals are not maintained, or have fallen out of date, are useless, etc. Many of the !votes indicate that the editors who posted them simply don't believe in the potential of portals anymore.

It's time to change all that. Let's give them reasons to believe in portals, by revitalizing them.

The best response to a deletion nomination is to fix the page that was nominated. The further underway the effort is to improve portals by the time the RfC has run its course, the more of the reasons against portals will no longer apply. RfCs typically run 30 days. There are 19 days left in this one. Let's see how many portals we can update and improve before the RfC is closed, and beyond.

A healthy WikiProject dedicated to supporting and maintaining portals may be the strongest argument of all not to delete.

We may even surprise ourselves and exceed all expectations. Who knows what we will be able to accomplish in what may become the biggest Wikicollaboration in years.

Let's do this.

See ya at the WikiProject!

Sincerely,    — The Transhumanist   10:20, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to attend a meetup in San Diego

 You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia:Meetup/San Diego/June 2018 . RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 05:55, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much

The RfC discussion to eliminate portals was closed May 12, with the statement "There exists a strong consensus against deleting or even deprecating portals at this time." This was made possible because you and others came to the rescue. Thank you for speaking up.

By the way, the current issue of the Signpost features an article with interviews about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

I'd also like to let you know that the Portals WikiProject is working hard to make sure your support of portals was not in vain. Toward that end, we have been working diligently to innovate portals, while building, updating, upgrading, and maintaining them. The project has grown to 80 members so far, and has become a beehive of activity.

Our two main goals at this time are to automate portals (in terms of refreshing, rotating, and selecting content), and to develop a one-page model in order to make obsolete and eliminate most of the 150,000 subpages from the portal namespace by migrating their functions to the portal base pages, using technologies such as selective transclusion. Please feel free to join in on any of the many threads of development at the WikiProject's talk page, or just stop by to see how we are doing. If you have any questions about portals or portal development, that is the best place to ask them.

If you would like to keep abreast of developments on portals, keep in mind that the project's members receive updates on their talk pages. The updates are also posted here, for your convenience.

Again, we can't thank you enough for your support of portals, and we hope to make you proud of your decision. Sincerely,    — The Transhumanist   10:32, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

P.S.: if you reply to this message, please {{ping}} me. Thank you. -TT

I read your comment on the nfl wikiproject page. A lot of the opposition to the nba style were complaints about it not being concise with the addition of city and state. I don't think they are going to take well to the idea of spelling out "high school." As someone that pushed strongly for the nba style and I'm in favor of sacrificing conciseness for clarity, even I'm not in favor of adding "high school." That just seems superfluous to me, considering the high school paramater already has "high school" written out in the infobox. And what do you mean by linked? We do hyperlink to the article of the high school. Unless the high school does not have a it's own article page, we hyperlink every single one. The edit of mine you reverted is in fact hyperlinked to the South Plantation high school article. Edday1051 (talk) 01:27, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Military Heritage & Aviation Museum

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Military Heritage & Aviation Museum requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

We can't use IMDb as it's not a reliable source at all should never be used to verify biographical content (you can read more about the reasons for this here, here and here). I'll wade through the citations and see if I can find reliably sourced verification to include the material.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 17:45, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Someone added a category Category:American military personnel of the Vietnam War, which had no ref that I could find that supported that category, so I changed it to just say he served in the army.

My pilot/stunt/producer beau

Hi, I’m Donna. GTA’s girlfriend. And Oh, BTW - you’ve mischaracterized him by referring to him by using his full name here. I posted it myself some time way back at all his Alma Mater pages (Missuslulu). So sorry I’m not up on your fanboy rules here at Wikipedia. But, everybody I know in the entertainment biz, all know Wikipedia was overrun by trolls and nobody considers Wikipedia itself to be a good source of any information about any subject. Wikipedia is largely fake news. Anyway, you evidently ordered me blocked for daring to try to chime in with and correct you. Not only is he a famous stuntman, but formerly with NASA as a space shuttle astronaut candidate, prior to following his Uber famous cousin RDJ, into show biz. Ever heard of a little show called Walker Texas Ranger? Yep. He also doubled Chuck Norris every episode. Well another little update, his press tour for Doolittle is doing fine and GTA recently produced me in a new project too. He’s also executive producer of Tomorrow’s World. I see little FieldMarine reached out to all his Wiki cyber friends to help quell his tantrum. With over a dozen reverts FieldMarine made (no blocking him for edit warring though) and his temper tantrum over my stunt/producer beau - must have been boiling over. Can you remove the article about me from Wikipedia. My page is also factually full of shit like most of my famous friends pages. (BTW I was on a little non noteworthy show called Baywatch and my ex is in a relatively unknown band called Motley Crue). On the other hand don’t even worry about it. Word is Wikipedia is financially insolvent and nearly defunct, so playtime in your parents basements will be over here soon enough. As I mentioned no one considers your Wikipedia playground, or any of you trolls, notable or noteworthy and really nobody ever did since its inception. Now try to fool around with RDJ, his fam and friends a bit more, & have fun doing so children!— Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.250.246.155 (talk) 01:22 January 11, 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Sri Lankan education awards

A tag has been placed on Category:Sri Lankan education awards requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Egyptian egg oven revert

What was the point of this? The "article" is literally two sentence long. Merged to the parent article it helps to fledge out a still-very-short history section. Hell, you didn't even bother adding back the stuff that I put in the merged article, which means that its content in incubator (egg) is actually longer than the standalone article. If you're not going to put the effort into expanding it beyond the state you left it in an entire decade ago (if you are, then the new source I added has some useful content) then just let it go, rather than preventing the project being improved.

Oneupsmanship: This painting turned the friendly rivalry between Edward Redfield and Elmer Schofield into
a feud. Schofield was a frequent houseguest at Redfield's farm, upstream from New Hope, Pennsylvania,
and the two would go out painting together, competing to capture the better view. Redfield served on the jury
for the 1904 Annual Exhibition of the Carnegie Institute; at which, despite Redfield's opposition, Across the
River was awarded the Gold Medal and $1,500 prize. It was not until a 1963 interview that the 93-year-old
Redfield revealed the painting as the cause of the 40-year feud between them. Schofield may have painted it
in England, but a blindsided Redfield knew that it was a view of the Delaware River, from his own front yard!

Conflict of interest edits

Hello FieldMarine,

I noticed you removed the proposed deletion tag from the Richard Arnest page. This is a conflict of interest as you are the original creator of this page. I think in the interest of the community, you should add the tag back and let the community discuss.

Moral lesson: John Vanderlyn was an American painter who studied in Paris, and his life-sized
Ariadne Asleep on the Island of Naxos was one of the first large nudes exhibited in the United States.
Peddling the poison as well as the cure, this overtly sensuous work was presented to the public as a
moral lesson on the consequences of lascivious behavior. Visible in the distance is the ship of
Princess Ariadne's secret lover, Theseus, for whom she has betrayed her people by helping him to
escape the Labyrinth and slay the Minotaur. Ariadne's bliss will come to an end when she awakens
from her post-coital reverie, only to discover that the faithless Theseus has sailed away without her.

Removing women from Category:Manhattan Project people

You have removed all the women from the category, leaving only a list of men and seeming to indicate men were the only notable people involved. I am putting the women back. As it says at the top of Category:Women on the Manhattan Project‎ , that is a non-diffusing subcategory using {{Non-diffusing subcategory}}. According to Wikipedia:Categorization/Ethnicity, gender, religion and sexuality: In almost all cases, gendered/ethnic/sexuality/disability/religion-based categories should be non-diffusing, meaning that membership in the category should not remove membership from the non-gendered/non-ethnic/etc. parent category.

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months. (Purge)

Hi FieldMarine,

I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join the new page reviewing team, and after reviewing your editing history, I think you would be a good candidate. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; the new page reviewing team needs help from experienced users like yourself.

Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, most pages are easy to review, and habits are quick to develop). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR. If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message on my talk page or at the reviewer's discussion board.

Edward A. Synan

Greetings, FieldMarine. Thank you for your work on Edward A. Synan. In this edit, you wrote that Synan graduate from "St. Luke's High School". Do you have a source for that? As best as I can tell, the citation currently given there does not include that information. Arbitrarily0 (talk) 15:20, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Arbitrarily0, ref added. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 16:17, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Verification

Hey, @FieldMarine. I believe we have a mutual friend, @Buckshot06. He told me to come here for verification that an ANGLICO unit is commanded by a Lt.Col. Faith15 20:10, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:FieldMarine/Articles

Dear FieldMarine, I'm a longtime military editor from New Zealand, who has watched your intrepid coverage of the USMC and other subjects with much appreciation. We have a new young user from the southern states of the USA (Faithful15), who has made a malformed request at a sub-talk-page of yours (above) regarding the commanding officer rank for the Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company. I was not sure whether you would see it. Are they [still] commanded by a lieutenant colonel? Is there a Field Manual or TOE we could add to the article for an authoritative reference? Buckshot06 (talk) 20:39, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Buckshot06 and @User:Faithful15, good to hear from you. In the reserves (1/2 of the ANGLICOs are in the reserves), the commander of an ANGLICO is definitely a board selected LtCol by T/O. I will have to check for active duty because the rank structure is sometimes different, but considering the nature of the mission, and they often support high level MAGTFs or Joint Task Forces, I suspect they are also commanded by LtCols. Keep in mind, the Marine Corps structure is rapidly changing under General Berger. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 21:12, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not a ref for T/O, but this MARADMIN says rank required for applying for CO position in the reserves. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 21:27, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Fun fact, my biological father was a Marine once, so I understand some military terms. Semper Fi, my friend, Semper Fi! Faith15 19:57, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oorah! I highly recommend reading With the Old Breed if you have not already. One of the best first hand accounts about World War II. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 21:24, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You just guessed my favorite war subject. You are alright in my book, sir. Semper Fi! 😁🇺🇸 Faith15 21:44, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Arthur A. Wilder

I think I get what you were trying to do here, but this edit appears to have broken two category links. Also, I am unaware of any basis in the MOS for changing instances of "p." to "page" in references. BD2412 T 18:40, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Sorry for the broken link, my mistake. As far as spelling out, it is done to make it easier to read, especially when run through translations, when not everyone is aware of conventions for abbreviations. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 18:58, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Hawaii Bowl

Hawaii Bowl (without the apostrophe) is how it's more commonly referred to in media, and per WP:COMMONNAME, that's what the article title should remain. I started a technical request to move it back; if you want it to be moved to the "correct title," feel free to start your own requested move when the technical job is done.

Horse Marines needs its own article

You added a section on Horse Marines to Marine Detachment. Good material, but it has no place on an article about shipboard marine detachments. So I deleted it.


It seems to me that Horse Marines is a big enough topic to rate its own article. The material you wrote for that section would make an excellent stub. Isaac Rabinovitch (talk) 03:46, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Horse Marines are a type of land based Marine Det. Please take this discussion to the talk page. Thanks. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 04:33, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Hi FieldMarine, thanks for adding to Harry Bolick. I had a question. I might have missed it but I don't see in the ref where it says Fort Benning, Georgia? WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 22:45, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. That is where The Infantry School Troops Brigade was located at the time. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 00:37, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
