Request

Hey buddy, how you doing? I happened to come along an article about a Navy Cross recipient, John Clarence Butler and was wondering if the "tags" placed on the same were really justified. As a second opinion, could you take a look at it and decide those "tags" are right and proper. Thank you. Tony the Marine (talk) 23:07, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

• Thank you my friend for "Checking Out" the article. I mean, here you have a war hero who was awarded the Navy Cross, whose notability was recognized by the Dept. of the Navy who named a ship after him, the town of Buckeye who named an airfield after him and by the American Legion who named a post after him, yet someone in Wikipedia questioned his notability. Thank you once more. Tony the Marine (talk) 16:00, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Clayton C. Jerome

Hi Looper5920, I noticed that the Marine Aircraft Group 32 that you created had Clayton C. Jerome listed as a notable commander, with no article. I created the article, but I would appreciate you firming up the content. Marines in the Phillipines notes that Jerome played a key role in the implementation of close air support during the liberation of the Philippines.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

• tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
• adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
• updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
• creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

2d Antiaircraft Artillery Battalion

Several short refs are missing corresponding long refs. Namely

• Sherrod 2002
• Hammel & Lane 2006
• Sherrod 2004
• Nichols & Shaw 1966 [there is a 1955 one however]

Could you add those? Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 14:13, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Also note that if you install Svick's script per these instructions, you'll automatically be notified of these issues in the future. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 14:14, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. References have been fixed. Just lost track while cutting and pasting.Looper5920 (talk) 14:19, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

There's still Hammel & Lane 2006 missing there. Hence why the script is really useful to have! Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 15:31, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Marine Barracks, Naval Air Station Midway

I fixed a few citations in there, please double check if I didn't introduce errors by mistake.

However, since there were two Rottman 2002 references, I made them Rottman 2002a and 2002b. You'll have to update the short footnotes to reflect 2002a/b because I don't know which of the two you meant.

Again, I note that if you install Svick's script per these instructions, you'll automatically be notified of these issues in the future.

Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:45, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

There are also issues in

• Deputy Commandant for Aviation
• Edward S. Fris
• List of United States Marine Corps aviation support units Rottman 2000 vs Rottman 2002 discrepancy
• Marine Tactical Data System
• Robert O. Bisson Banks 1999 missing

which you created. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:49, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Turtle Bay Airfield

Question to you since you are in the aviation project and recently editted this article. An editor removed what I view as content from an image stating: that the aircraft from "the Black Sheep Squadron & lead by Major Pappy Boyington" was trivia. Do you agree with that assessment? If you do not would you do the revert please.

Autopatrolled granted

Hi Looper5920, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help).

Hello - Touching Base

Hi Looper, Long time... saw your comments on a recent Deletion discussion. Nice to see that you are still active and adding to the Wikipedia knowledge base. Hope you and your loved ones are well. — ERcheck (talk) 22:55, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

• @ERcheck:Thanks for the note. Good to hear from you. When I get some free time I still enjoy pecking away at articles. Can't say I have too much concern for the administration of the project anymore. That being said, I do not like it when folks come along and suggest mass deletions of pages which represent a great deal of hard work on another editors part. Sometimes it is best to let some of this stuff breathe a little bit while others make it better. All is well on this end. Best to you and yours as well.Looper5920 (talk) 13:35, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

May I use your photograph?

Dear Looper5920,

This is a slightly bizarre request--I'm a military historian, and I have a new book coming out about how VNSAs fund themselves. One of the chapters is heavy on NORAID and the diaspora population, and your photo of the wall mural is terrific for illustrating that linkage. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Southie_Mural.JPG

My publisher wants me to seek out explicit and direct written permission--is that something that you're comfortable doing? I am also willing to pay a reproduction fee. Please let me know! sankeym@gmail.com

Thank you,

Dr. Margaret Sankey

VMA-542

Hi Looper, It's great to see you continuing to add information on the USMC. I was reading your most recent work on VMA-542 and noticed your edit comment about needing a reference for the name change.

See these reference for the name change of VMA-542 to VMFA-542.

Marine Attack Squadron (VMA) 542, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (MAW), is scheduled to hold a re-designation ceremony Dec. 1 at 10 a.m. at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina....VMA- 542 will become Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 542.

AND

Marine Attack Squadron 542 (VMFA-542) — the Tigers — was re-designated Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 542 (VMFA-542) in ceremonies held at the squadron’s base at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, as it retires its last Harriers in favor of the Lightning II.

Image source problem with File:Operation Arc Light Memorial.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Operation Arc Light Memorial.jpg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F4 of the 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 21:14, 28 January 2024 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Need help for contribution to a WWII Archiving website

Good evening. This is probably a somewhat unusual message for you, and I wanted to contact you via email but I don't see any so this is it

My name is Paul Sidle. I am the founder of the website the WWII Archives, soon to become a non-profit. Although it runs on mediawiki, its goal is entirely different from Wikipedia's. The goal is for anyone to join and help create the most detailed accounts of any subject from the WWII era. In doing so people are implored to go out and conduct as many interviews, archive as many documents, and do anything else to find and archive whatever other scattered information of that time period there is out there.

Recently I had the gracious opportunity to interview the 102 year old veteran Col. Joe McPhail, a USMC veteran of the Pacific War and Korean War, serving in VMF-441, 323, 122, and 214 (214 in the Korean War). As such I started doing an article on him. However creating those articles requires you to try and find any research and sources that exist out there on the subject. He had conducted a lot of interviews and I eventually discovered many documents from 441, 323, etc about his involvement and the involvement of others, what they did, among other things. The articles relating to those subjects can be searched on the website if you would like to see (for example here is Joe McPhail's). I have gathered most of the information that I could find relating to Joe and as per policy on the website you have to try and leave traces of other people enough for future people to come and find them to start writing about if you're not going to write about it. However the problem is is that I have to move on to archiving, writing, interviewing, etc about other subjects (to try and get the site/non-profit moving) so I can't write about everything and I am having a hard time finding some things.

Therefore when looking around the contributors to the 323 article on wikipedia I found you and your great interest in the subject area. Therefore I am asking for at least some contribution for someone with related interests. All that is needed is to sign-up, maybe read the Editing rules (I need to edit that whole thing), and there you go.

I also need some help and suggestions as the site is a bit new and could use some experienced wiki writers, managers, and editors to help, as currently there are very few people actually contributing.

I know that it is asking a lot asking someone like you to help contribute, however I offer the benefit that any great article that is written or contributed by you will be posted on about on a blog post relating to that article with some names attached. These will then get recognized by advertising and posting on social media and such. Also you would be free to contribute archival stuff, interviews, etc relating to personal family stuff from that time period as I have done in great length.

I would be ever greatful if there is anything that you could help contribute, even if it is some sort of suggestion or referral to someone else.

Thank you in advance, GTaillefer (Paul Sidle) Guillaume Taillefer (talk) 00:51, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of VMA-124

The article VMA-124 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

It appears to already exist, nearly identical, in VMFA-124; VMA-124 was redesignated VMFA-124

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
