Naval Aviation Squadrons

Thanks for your work on updating the references for these. I originated a lot of them, with good references at the time, but then DANAS changed its setup and all the references went bad. I just didn't have the time or motivation to go back in and fix them, hoping that some heroic soul would take on that challenge. Good work! Or as they say in the Navy, Bravo Zulu.

The DYK hook game

Hello, Finktron,

Writing the hook for a DYK is a bit of a parlor trick. It can be fun, testing your ingenuity. The aim is to draw the reader in with a statement that hooks the reader's interest; the constraints are, you can't invent anything. It may take some rewriting sometimes.

Grab the most interesting factoid you can find about the subject. Embody it in a single sentence. Add the relevant cite immediately after the sentence. I find it works best if that sentence is the final one in a paragraph, so you may want to shuffle sentence order in the para in question to situate your factoid in front of the cite.

In the present case, a reviewer may ask you to point out "landlocked" in your sources--or they may not. They may ask why the cite in the lead, as such is used in the lead only in cases of controversy. Personally, I find this lead not particularly interesting, though not to the point of objecting.

However, to me the most interesting thing about Harris is that he shot down four enemy planes on four different occasions. You may want to try that for a hook.

To summarize:
1. Put your hook(s) in a single sentence each.
2. Make it/them the most interesting fact(s) in the article.
3. Let the cite follow naturally after the hook.
4. It is perfectly fair to mislead your reader, but not to cheat them with made-up or irrelevant facts.

Have fun!Georgejdorner (talk) 17:44, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Cecil E. Harris

Hi-I found a citation about a statue in honor of Cecil E. Harris on the Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota. However, the word in the section about his education was confusing because the article had Northern State Teachers College which was of the initial names for Northern Michigan University. Confusing and not clear. My apologies for any problems. Hopeful, the citation about the state of Cecil E. Harris at Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota is helpful. Thank you-RFD (talk) 18:14, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

@RFD: I appreciate that your edits were in good faith. I'm going to nix them just because I already have citations to his NSTC attendance after the next sentence, and an article about the statue on NSU campus already exists in the web cites for this article (cite [89] under Recognition section). Best, Finktron (talk) 04:10, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Cecil E. Harris. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Cecil E. Harris), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Formosa Air Battle

Hello, Finktron – I have completed the copy-edit you requested at Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests. I enjoyed reading the article; it was quite well written. Please let me know if you have any questions. I have a few questions on minor issues:

1) A few times, I changed a number such as "10" to the word for the number, "ten". I usually do that for numbers of one or two digits (except in a science or math article). However, I stopped changing the number to the word about half-way through the article, particularly for number of enemy planes shot down. I thought I'd ask you first what you thought.

2) I added "the" before a ship's name ("the Houston) when it was missing, but not when it said "USS Houston".

3) I made dashes consistent – all spaced en-dashes. You had some en-dashes and some em-dashes.

4) In the first paragraph in Formosa Air Battle#Background you introduce the Sho plan. In the third paragraph of that section you discuss Sho 1 and Sho 2. The first mentions of those are un-hyphenated, and I added a no-break space between Sho and the number so it wouldn't break between them at the end of a line (the number will stay with the word). Then, at the end of that paragraph, you have "Sho-2", with a hyphen between Sho and "2". I left it as it was, but I have to ask you which you prefer: hyphenated or un-hyphenated. These should be consistent.

5) I'm going to copy the second paragraph of Formosa Air Battle#Background here for ease of reference, highlighting a phrase in bold:

By 10 October Toyoda's tour of the front was complete. He intended to depart from Formosa for Japan that same day but was forced to change his plans. Surprise U.S. carrier strikes against the Ryukyu Islands cut off Toyoda's flight path home, grounding the admiral far from Combined Fleet headquarters at a decisive moment. Out of position and with inadequate lines of communication, the response to such overwhelming enemy air power was left to Toyoda's Chief of Staff, Admiral Ryūnosuke Kusaka.

I paused at the phrase "such overwhelming enemy air power". All I could see in the preceding sentences that could remotely be seen as "overwhelming air power" was "Surprise U.S. carrier strikes against the Ryukyu Islands". I don't see any indication that anything was overwhelming. I think you either need to provide details as to how the U.S. air power was overwhelming or change "the response to such overwhelming enemy air power" to "the response to these attacks (or strikes)".

6) I see you have used "U.S." as the abbreviation for "United States" throughout the article. I don't know if this abbreviation is standard throughout Wikipedia's military history articles, but generally, in most articles, the abbreviation is written without the periods/full stops: "US". If you're not sure, you might consult AustralianRupert.

7) I found most of the article quite well written and clear (and I know little about either World War II or air battles). In the third paragraph of the Formosa Air Battle#Aftermath, however, you lost me. I had to read it several times to figure out what this was about. I think it might help to add the adjective "Japanese" before "634th Naval Air Group" so the reader knows which side this is about. Those familiar with the names of battle groups and units will probably know that this was a Japanese air group, but the average Wikipedia reader might not. It might help, also, to give an indication of when the events in the second and third paragraphs happened. I know the third paragraph contains the phrase, "By January 1945", but the second and third paragraphs seem kind of lost in space and time when compared with all the other paragraphs. Adding to that impression are two phrases that mystify me: "Freshly constituted carrier units" and "land-based air power". For the non-expert, these don't mean much. (When I read "freshly constituted", I think of orange juice reconstituted from a frozen state, and I wonder how air power can be land-based.) Well, that's all.  – Corinne (talk) 02:46, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

 – Corinne (talk) 02:51, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

8) One more thing: when you want to use the initials of (or some kind of abbreviation for) an organization, agency, unit, etc., you're supposed to give the initials or abbreviation in parentheses after the first mention of the organization, agency, unit, etc. I don't see that for "TG" or "TF". I know that "TG" follows shortly upon the heels of several instances of "Task Group + number", so readers will probably figure it out. AustralianRupert can advise as to whether it is necessary to put "TG" in parentheses after the first mention of "Task Group", and, if so, where to put it; I thought it would look odd placed between "Task Group" and a number, so, if you do add it, I think it would have to be after the number. Also, check to be sure you have done that for all the other acronyms (mostly Japanese command groups).  – Corinne (talk) 03:13, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

ArbCom 2020 Elections voter message

Hello! Voting in the 2020 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 7 December 2020. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority 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 in the 2020 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page.
