Hello, I appreciate your desire to make contributions to the article on the 2nd Infantry Division and am not interested in starting an edit war with you. If you will read Wikipedia guidelines, information provided should be supported by reliable sources. Comments on talk pages and even email should be courteous and always assume good faith, which I am striving to do here. I would appreciate it if you would do likewise. While you may disagree with what I wrote, the information I added about Daniel Burke was both factual and supported by reliable sources. I did not, as you may have noted, remove your edit about the time during which he accepted the commission, but merely noted that it needed a reference by adding the {{fact}} template. You may not revert others' edits repeatedly, as this is not seen as civil. Editors are encouraged to work out differences on the article's talk page. If you have a source for the information you would like to add, please start the discussion there. Since I have been editing on Wikipedia for a few years, I'm sure I can work with you to find a resolution. Thanks. -- btphelps (talk) (contribs) 01:45, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Please avoid further reverting my edits to the article. This will violate Wikipedia's rules for reversions and per Wikipedia guidelines "Editors who engage in edit warring are liable (usually after warning) to be blocked from editing in order to prevent further disruption." -- btphelps (talk) (contribs) 01:49, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article 2nd Infantry Regiment (United States), please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- btphelps (talk) (contribs) 01:51, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've responded on the article's talk page to your question. Ocalafla (talk) 14:16, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure I completely understand the question posed on my talk page but will try to do my best to answer it. The intent of my edit was to ensure there was clarity on the issue of the battle honors of the original 2nd Infantry. The way the text read before my edit could lead a reader to mistakenly believe that only the "new" (or "current") 2nd Infantry inherited the battle honors of the original 2nd Infantry. As we know, other regiments also share some of the battle honors of the original 2nd Infantry. Hope this answers your question. Ocalafla (talk) 14:03, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ocalafla I thought I explained it quite well and I will not try to do it any better. That being said I will tell you here and now that I will be making quite a few changes to the history. All information that has nothing to do will the current regiment, that being all about the original 2nd Infantry, will be removed as well as any references to the original 2nd Infantry. I am sure that this should resolve any issues concerning the old and new regiments. GUNNERGRZ (talk) 16:16, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- You may find when editing on Wikipedia that editors don't always understand each other at the first attempt and that clarification is often necessary. I welcome any efforts on your part to help me better understand your question.
- I look forward to working together in a collaborative and civil manner to constantly improve the article. I would suggest that as we move forward that it would not be helpful to readers to eliminate all mention of the original 2nd Infantry. Doing so could cause unneeded confusion. At least some explanation of the distinction between the two would be useful to readers. Ocalafla (talk) 00:12, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
