User talk:AntonyZ
Welcome
My name is Λuα and I have been on Wikipedia for sometime now. I have been wandering around when I saw your name and decided to drop by to see if you need help with Wikipedia. I have also attached this list of some links that might help you:
- WP:Tutorial
- WP:How to edit a page
- WP:How to write a great article
- WP:Manual of Style.
You should also note that you have to sign your comments by using four of those ~ at the end of your messages (i.e. ~~~~, this will simply place your user name and date; see my signature at the end of this message as an example.)
Please do not hesitate to
P.S. Some new users find editing Wikipedia a bit difficult at first, but it only seems this way. In fact it is quite easy to get used to editing it and actually finding that enjoyable ! :)
Good luck! :)

Walter Krueger
- Also for World War II Victory Medal etc. etc. etc.
- For example, look at the article about Vice admiral Daniel E. Barbey
, which you edited. I made ribbon bar there too. But if you look on the main photo, you will see, that the ribbon bar is the same as on the photo. I am not an troll, who is destroying wikipedia, I work a long time on cs.wikipedia.org you can check it.
- Here are some links to the article of Walter Krueger:
- I did not think that you were a troll or a vandal. I can tell when someone knows what they are talking about. The problem is that on the English wikipedia the threshold for inclusion is verifiability, not truth. We need to have sources to back up, like a book that lists his awards. Regrettably, www.veterantributes.org is not a reliable source.
Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:02, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
- Mhmmm I understand Hawkeye, how I should do that? There is a little bit problem, because some of the awards, as I said higher, the certain officer received, if he served during some campaign, wars, service years....etc. US Army have strict army regulations of eligibility for receiving of some medal. And If I can prove, that certain officer served in the army during some year or in the article is written (for example General Blabla served with distinction during Great War and was awarded with Distinguished service cross for gallantry.
- So If he survived the year of 1919 and was in active service in 1935, I can tell for sure, that he is holder of Distinguished Service Cross and World War I Victory Medal and ribbons of it. So thats something like if I said: "The Grass is green". You know what I mean? It something what is not needed to be proven, because it is of course. How I should do it then? I´d like to help to english wikipedia (and I try to make a new articles, correcting wrong links etc), but this kind of unnecessary byrocracy, just bored me and I losing motivation to write another new articles. Thank you in advance for some advice. --AntonyZ (talk) 23:11, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Oscar R. Cauldwell - Reverted, my mistakeI have reverted your edits on this article for the following important reasons:
- The man "in centre with glasses" -- as described in your addition to the caption -- is actually Japanese Paymaster Lieutenant P. Hisao Napasato, as can easily be ascertained from the Summary of File:Wake Island Surrender.jpg, not Lawson H. M. Sanderson. This is a serious error which on its own would have justified reverting your edits.
- The subject of the article is Shigematsu Sakaibara. The identity of the notable U.S. commander to whom he surrendered, is irrelevant in the caption of the image used in the infobox.
Please be more careful with edits like this in the future. Thank you. MPS1992 (talk) 19:02, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
- Hello,
If you take a look on the article now, you can notify the description says: Admiral Shigematsu Sakaibara (seated third from left) signing the surrender of Wake Island aboard USS Levy on September 4, 1945. But actually admiral Sakaibara is not THIRD from the left, but SECOND. So I can agree with your opinion that mention of Brigadier General Lawson H.M. Sanderson is irrelevant in caption of the image used in the infobox. Especially when there are two men with glasses in the centre. But now, the caption is incorrect. I will revert you edit in the caption about place of admiral Sakaibara at the table.
Please be more careful with edits like this in the future. Thank you. AntonyZ (talk) 19:28, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.

DYK for George F. Good Jr.
On 26 January 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article George F. Good Jr., which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that during World War II, Colonel George F. Good Jr. successfully defended Funafuti from ten Japanese attacks with a mixed unit that was "poorly armed" and "stuck out like a sore thumb"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/George F. Good Jr.. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, George F. Good Jr.), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog DriveG'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.

A barnstar for you!
The Original Barnstar
Thank you for your article on Harold C. Roberts, USMC. He was my grandfather. I inherited hundreds of letters and other documents from his career. I am very interested in your research, especially what may be available as "personal papers," per footnote 1. I will try to update the article from my information. Rojohnny (talk) 21:24, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hello Rojohnny,
- Thank you for the Barnstar! I really appreciate it! I am also very glad, that somebody from Colonel Roberts family had contacted me. Together we can improve article about him. If you asking about "personal papers", I am in touch with USMC Military History Division and they provided me some biographical information in PDF file and some photos. Unfortunatelly the biographical information were not detailed at all and I had to "dig deeper" to find something more detailed. I checked the documents named "Register of the commissioned and warrant officers of the United States Navy and Marine Corps and reserve officers on active duty" from 1917 to 1945 (total 17 files) and in each of these editions there were partly information like: Date of first commissioning, present rank and date of the rank, present duty station, date of last sea or expeditionary service, total lenght in years and months of service (including sea service, expeditionary service).
- It was like a puzzle, I knew his medal ribbons on his service uniform, which confirmed me the expeditionary duty in Nicaragua or China and if you put all these information together, I had a total overview of his career. Did you find something in the article about your grandfather, which is not correct? Do you have some additional information? Let me know please AntonyZ (talk) 12:51, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
Marine Corps General Portraits
- Hi Connorman, I checked my archive, but unfortunatelly I do not have any good photos of generals Lukeman, Megarr and Monahan. But If you give me some time, I will do my best to create a good biography of them. It is good to meet someone, who is interested in USMC history! AntonyZ (talk) 18:58, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks! I've noticed your past work on bios and I must say that you do a great job in generating quality content, and to keep it up! With regards to general officer portraits, here are some of others I've created but haven't been able to locate any high quality photos for: William R. Etnyre, Robert F. Milligan, James J.

Walter Krueger
- Also for World War II Victory Medal etc. etc. etc.
- For example, look at the article about Vice admiral Daniel E. Barbey
, which you edited. I made ribbon bar there too. But if you look on the main photo, you will see, that the ribbon bar is the same as on the photo. I am not an troll, who is destroying wikipedia, I work a long time on cs.wikipedia.org you can check it.
- Here are some links to the article of Walter Krueger:
- I did not think that you were a troll or a vandal. I can tell when someone knows what they are talking about. The problem is that on the English wikipedia the threshold for inclusion is verifiability, not truth. We need to have sources to back up, like a book that lists his awards. Regrettably, www.veterantributes.org is not a reliable source. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:02, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
- Mhmmm I understand Hawkeye, how I should do that? There is a little bit problem, because some of the awards, as I said higher, the certain officer received, if he served during some campaign, wars, service years....etc. US Army have strict army regulations of eligibility for receiving of some medal. And If I can prove, that certain officer served in the army during some year or in the article is written (for example General Blabla served with distinction during Great War and was awarded with Distinguished service cross for gallantry.
- So If he survived the year of 1919 and was in active service in 1935, I can tell for sure, that he is holder of Distinguished Service Cross and World War I Victory Medal and ribbons of it. So thats something like if I said: "The Grass is green". You know what I mean? It something what is not needed to be proven, because it is of course. How I should do it then? I´d like to help to english wikipedia (and I try to make a new articles, correcting wrong links etc), but this kind of unnecessary byrocracy, just bored me and I losing motivation to write another new articles. Thank you in advance for some advice. --AntonyZ (talk) 23:11, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Oscar R. Cauldwell - Reverted, my mistakeI have reverted your edits on this article for the following important reasons:
- The man "in centre with glasses" -- as described in your addition to the caption -- is actually Japanese Paymaster Lieutenant P. Hisao Napasato, as can easily be ascertained from the Summary of File:Wake Island Surrender.jpg, not Lawson H. M. Sanderson. This is a serious error which on its own would have justified reverting your edits.
- The subject of the article is Shigematsu Sakaibara. The identity of the notable U.S. commander to whom he surrendered, is irrelevant in the caption of the image used in the infobox.
Please be more careful with edits like this in the future. Thank you. MPS1992 (talk) 19:02, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
- Hello,
If you take a look on the article now, you can notify the description says: Admiral Shigematsu Sakaibara (seated third from left) signing the surrender of Wake Island aboard USS Levy on September 4, 1945. But actually admiral Sakaibara is not THIRD from the left, but SECOND. So I can agree with your opinion that mention of Brigadier General Lawson H.M. Sanderson is irrelevant in caption of the image used in the infobox. Especially when there are two men with glasses in the centre. But now, the caption is incorrect. I will revert you edit in the caption about place of admiral Sakaibara at the table.
Please be more careful with edits like this in the future. Thank you. AntonyZ (talk) 19:28, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

DYK for George F. Good Jr.
On 26 January 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article George F. Good Jr., which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that during World War II, Colonel George F. Good Jr. successfully defended Funafuti from ten Japanese attacks with a mixed unit that was "poorly armed" and "stuck out like a sore thumb"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/George F. Good Jr.. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, George F. Good Jr.), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog DriveG'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.

A barnstar for you!
The Original Barnstar
Thank you for your article on Harold C. Roberts, USMC. He was my grandfather. I inherited hundreds of letters and other documents from his career. I am very interested in your research, especially what may be available as "personal papers," per footnote 1. I will try to update the article from my information. Rojohnny (talk) 21:24, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hello Rojohnny,
- Thank you for the Barnstar! I really appreciate it! I am also very glad, that somebody from Colonel Roberts family had contacted me. Together we can improve article about him. If you asking about "personal papers", I am in touch with USMC Military History Division and they provided me some biographical information in PDF file and some photos. Unfortunatelly the biographical information were not detailed at all and I had to "dig deeper" to find something more detailed. I checked the documents named "Register of the commissioned and warrant officers of the United States Navy and Marine Corps and reserve officers on active duty" from 1917 to 1945 (total 17 files) and in each of these editions there were partly information like: Date of first commissioning, present rank and date of the rank, present duty station, date of last sea or expeditionary service, total lenght in years and months of service (including sea service, expeditionary service).
- It was like a puzzle, I knew his medal ribbons on his service uniform, which confirmed me the expeditionary duty in Nicaragua or China and if you put all these information together, I had a total overview of his career. Did you find something in the article about your grandfather, which is not correct? Do you have some additional information? Let me know please AntonyZ (talk) 12:51, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
Marine Corps General Portraits
- Hi Connorman, I checked my archive, but unfortunatelly I do not have any good photos of generals Lukeman, Megarr and Monahan.

With regards to general officer portraits, here are some of others I've created but haven't been able to locate any high quality photos for: William R. Etnyre, Robert F. Milligan, James J. McMonagle, Ray Franklin, Orlo K. Steele, Dennis J. Murphy, Arthur C. Blades, George M. Karamarkovich, Charles H. Pitman, Emil Bedard, Royal N. Moore Jr.. If you could check your archive to see if you have any of them, that would be great! Many thanks again. Connormah (talk) 06:40, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

Walter Krueger
- Also for World War II Victory Medal etc. etc. etc.
- For example, look at the article about Vice admiral Daniel E. Barbey
, which you edited. I made ribbon bar there too. But if you look on the main photo, you will see, that the ribbon bar is the same as on the photo. I am not an troll, who is destroying wikipedia, I work a long time on cs.wikipedia.org you can check it.
- Here are some links to the article of Walter Krueger:
- I did not think that you were a troll or a vandal. I can tell when someone knows what they are talking about. The problem is that on the English wikipedia the threshold for inclusion is verifiability, not truth. We need to have sources to back up, like a book that lists his awards. Regrettably, www.veterantributes.org is not a reliable source. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:02, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
- Mhmmm I understand Hawkeye, how I should do that? There is a little bit problem, because some of the awards, as I said higher, the certain officer received, if he served during some campaign, wars, service years....etc. US Army have strict army regulations of eligibility for receiving of some medal. And If I can prove, that certain officer served in the army during some year or in the article is written (for example General Blabla served with distinction during Great War and was awarded with Distinguished service cross for gallantry.
- So If he survived the year of 1919 and was in active service in 1935, I can tell for sure, that he is holder of Distinguished Service Cross and World War I Victory Medal and ribbons of it. So thats something like if I said: "The Grass is green". You know what I mean? It something what is not needed to be proven, because it is of course. How I should do it then? I´d like to help to english wikipedia (and I try to make a new articles, correcting wrong links etc), but this kind of unnecessary byrocracy, just bored me and I losing motivation to write another new articles. Thank you in advance for some advice. --AntonyZ (talk) 23:11, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Oscar R. Cauldwell - Reverted, my mistakeI have reverted your edits on this article for the following important reasons:
- The man "in centre with glasses" -- as described in your addition to the caption -- is actually Japanese Paymaster Lieutenant P. Hisao Napasato, as can easily be ascertained from the Summary of File:Wake Island Surrender.jpg, not Lawson H. M. Sanderson. This is a serious error which on its own would have justified reverting your edits.
- The subject of the article is Shigematsu Sakaibara. The identity of the notable U.S. commander to whom he surrendered, is irrelevant in the caption of the image used in the infobox.
Please be more careful with edits like this in the future. Thank you. MPS1992 (talk) 19:02, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
- Hello,
If you take a look on the article now, you can notify the description says: Admiral Shigematsu Sakaibara (seated third from left) signing the surrender of Wake Island aboard USS Levy on September 4, 1945. But actually admiral Sakaibara is not THIRD from the left, but SECOND. So I can agree with your opinion that mention of Brigadier General Lawson H.M. Sanderson is irrelevant in caption of the image used in the infobox. Especially when there are two men with glasses in the centre. But now, the caption is incorrect. I will revert you edit in the caption about place of admiral Sakaibara at the table.
Please be more careful with edits like this in the future. Thank you. AntonyZ (talk) 19:28, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

Brunelli, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Atlantic Fleet (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

DYK for George F. Good Jr.
On 26 January 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article George F. Good Jr., which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that during World War II, Colonel George F. Good Jr. successfully defended Funafuti from ten Japanese attacks with a mixed unit that was "poorly armed" and "stuck out like a sore thumb"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/George F. Good Jr.. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, George F. Good Jr.), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog DriveG'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.

A barnstar for you!
The Original Barnstar
Thank you for your article on Harold C. Roberts, USMC. He was my grandfather. I inherited hundreds of letters and other documents from his career. I am very interested in your research, especially what may be available as "personal papers," per footnote 1. I will try to update the article from my information. Rojohnny (talk) 21:24, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hello Rojohnny,
- Thank you for the Barnstar! I really appreciate it! I am also very glad, that somebody from Colonel Roberts family had contacted me. Together we can improve article about him. If you asking about "personal papers", I am in touch with USMC Military History Division and they provided me some biographical information in PDF file and some photos. Unfortunatelly the biographical information were not detailed at all and I had to "dig deeper" to find something more detailed. I checked the documents named "Register of the commissioned and warrant officers of the United States Navy and Marine Corps and reserve officers on active duty" from 1917 to 1945 (total 17 files) and in each of these editions there were partly information like: Date of first commissioning, present rank and date of the rank, present duty station, date of last sea or expeditionary service, total lenght in years and months of service (including sea service, expeditionary service).
- It was like a puzzle, I knew his medal ribbons on his service uniform, which confirmed me the expeditionary duty in Nicaragua or China and if you put all these information together, I had a total overview of his career. Did you find something in the article about your grandfather, which is not correct? Do you have some additional information? Let me know please AntonyZ (talk) 12:51, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
Marine Corps General Portraits
- Hi Connorman, I checked my archive, but unfortunatelly I do not have any good photos of generals Lukeman, Megarr and Monahan. But If you give me some time, I will do my best to create a good biography of them. It is good to meet someone, who is interested in USMC history! AntonyZ (talk) 18:58, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks! I've noticed your past work on bios and I must say that you do a great job in generating quality content, and to keep it up! With regards to general officer portraits, here are some of others I've created but haven't been able to locate any high quality photos for: William R. Etnyre, Robert F. Milligan, James J.

Walter Krueger
- Also for World War II Victory Medal etc. etc. etc.
- For example, look at the article about Vice admiral Daniel E. Barbey
, which you edited. I made ribbon bar there too. But if you look on the main photo, you will see, that the ribbon bar is the same as on the photo. I am not an troll, who is destroying wikipedia, I work a long time on cs.wikipedia.org you can check it.
- Here are some links to the article of Walter Krueger:
- I did not think that you were a troll or a vandal. I can tell when someone knows what they are talking about. The problem is that on the English wikipedia the threshold for inclusion is verifiability, not truth. We need to have sources to back up, like a book that lists his awards. Regrettably, www.veterantributes.org is not a reliable source. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:02, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
- Mhmmm I understand Hawkeye, how I should do that? There is a little bit problem, because some of the awards, as I said higher, the certain officer received, if he served during some campaign, wars, service years....etc. US Army have strict army regulations of eligibility for receiving of some medal. And If I can prove, that certain officer served in the army during some year or in the article is written (for example General Blabla served with distinction during Great War and was awarded with Distinguished service cross for gallantry.
- So If he survived the year of 1919 and was in active service in 1935, I can tell for sure, that he is holder of Distinguished Service Cross and World War I Victory Medal and ribbons of it. So thats something like if I said: "The Grass is green". You know what I mean? It something what is not needed to be proven, because it is of course. How I should do it then? I´d like to help to english wikipedia (and I try to make a new articles, correcting wrong links etc), but this kind of unnecessary byrocracy, just bored me and I losing motivation to write another new articles. Thank you in advance for some advice. --AntonyZ (talk) 23:11, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Oscar R. Cauldwell - Reverted, my mistakeI have reverted your edits on this article for the following important reasons:
- The man "in centre with glasses" -- as described in your addition to the caption -- is actually Japanese Paymaster Lieutenant P. Hisao Napasato, as can easily be ascertained from the Summary of File:Wake Island Surrender.jpg, not Lawson H. M. Sanderson. This is a serious error which on its own would have justified reverting your edits.
- The subject of the article is Shigematsu Sakaibara. The identity of the notable U.S. commander to whom he surrendered, is irrelevant in the caption of the image used in the infobox.
Please be more careful with edits like this in the future. Thank you. MPS1992 (talk) 19:02, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
- Hello,
If you take a look on the article now, you can notify the description says: Admiral Shigematsu Sakaibara (seated third from left) signing the surrender of Wake Island aboard USS Levy on September 4, 1945. But actually admiral Sakaibara is not THIRD from the left, but SECOND. So I can agree with your opinion that mention of Brigadier General Lawson H.M. Sanderson is irrelevant in caption of the image used in the infobox. Especially when there are two men with glasses in the centre. But now, the caption is incorrect. I will revert you edit in the caption about place of admiral Sakaibara at the table.
Please be more careful with edits like this in the future. Thank you. AntonyZ (talk) 19:28, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

DYK for George F. Good Jr.
On 26 January 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article George F. Good Jr., which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that during World War II, Colonel George F. Good Jr. successfully defended Funafuti from ten Japanese attacks with a mixed unit that was "poorly armed" and "stuck out like a sore thumb"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/George F. Good Jr.. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, George F. Good Jr.), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog DriveG'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.

A barnstar for you!
The Original Barnstar
Thank you for your article on Harold C. Roberts, USMC. He was my grandfather. I inherited hundreds of letters and other documents from his career. I am very interested in your research, especially what may be available as "personal papers," per footnote 1. I will try to update the article from my information. Rojohnny (talk) 21:24, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hello Rojohnny,
- Thank you for the Barnstar! I really appreciate it! I am also very glad, that somebody from Colonel Roberts family had contacted me. Together we can improve article about him. If you asking about "personal papers", I am in touch with USMC Military History Division and they provided me some biographical information in PDF file and some photos. Unfortunatelly the biographical information were not detailed at all and I had to "dig deeper" to find something more detailed. I checked the documents named "Register of the commissioned and warrant officers of the United States Navy and Marine Corps and reserve officers on active duty" from 1917 to 1945 (total 17 files) and in each of these editions there were partly information like: Date of first commissioning, present rank and date of the rank, present duty station, date of last sea or expeditionary service, total lenght in years and months of service (including sea service, expeditionary service).
- It was like a puzzle, I knew his medal ribbons on his service uniform, which confirmed me the expeditionary duty in Nicaragua or China and if you put all these information together, I had a total overview of his career. Did you find something in the article about your grandfather, which is not correct? Do you have some additional information? Let me know please AntonyZ (talk) 12:51, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
Marine Corps General Portraits
- Hi Connorman, I checked my archive, but unfortunatelly I do not have any good photos of generals Lukeman, Megarr and Monahan.

- Thanks! I've noticed your past work on bios and I must say that you do a great job in generating quality content, and to keep it up! With regards to general officer portraits, here are some of others I've created but haven't been able to locate any high quality photos for: William R. Etnyre, Robert F. Milligan, James J. McMonagle, Ray Franklin, Orlo K. Steele, Dennis J. Murphy, Arthur C. Blades, George M. Karamarkovich, Charles H. Pitman, Emil Bedard, Royal N. Moore Jr.. If you could check your archive to see if you have any of them, that would be great! Many thanks again. Connormah (talk) 06:40, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

- For example, look at the article about Vice admiral Daniel E. Barbey
- Here are some links to the article of Walter Krueger:
- I did not think that you were a troll or a vandal. I can tell when someone knows what they are talking about. The problem is that on the English wikipedia the threshold for inclusion is verifiability, not truth. We need to have sources to back up, like a book that lists his awards. Regrettably, www.veterantributes.org is not a reliable source. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:02, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Regrettably, www.veterantributes.org is not a reliable source.
- Mhmmm I understand Hawkeye, how I should do that? There is a little bit problem, because some of the awards, as I said higher, the certain officer received, if he served during some campaign, wars, service years....etc. US Army have strict army regulations of eligibility for receiving of some medal. And If I can prove, that certain officer served in the army during some year or in the article is written (for example General Blabla served with distinction during Great War and was awarded with Distinguished service cross for gallantry.
- So If he survived the year of 1919 and was in active service in 1935, I can tell for sure, that he is holder of Distinguished Service Cross and World War I Victory Medal and ribbons of it. So thats something like if I said: "The Grass is green". You know what I mean? It something what is not needed to be proven, because it is of course. How I should do it then? I´d like to help to english wikipedia (and I try to make a new articles, correcting wrong links etc), but this kind of unnecessary byrocracy, just bored me and I losing motivation to write another new articles.

Speedy deletion nomination of Oscar R. Cauldwell - Reverted, my mistakeI have reverted your edits on this article for the following important reasons:
- The man "in centre with glasses" -- as described in your addition to the caption -- is actually Japanese Paymaster Lieutenant P. Hisao Napasato, as can easily be ascertained from the Summary of File:Wake Island Surrender.jpg, not Lawson H. M. Sanderson. This is a serious error which on its own would have justified reverting your edits.
- The subject of the article is Shigematsu Sakaibara. The identity of the notable U.S. commander to whom he surrendered, is irrelevant in the caption of the image used in the infobox.
Please be more careful with edits like this in the future. Thank you. MPS1992 (talk) 19:02, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
- Hello,
If you take a look on the article now, you can notify the description says: Admiral Shigematsu Sakaibara (seated third from left) signing the surrender of Wake Island aboard USS Levy on September 4, 1945. But actually admiral Sakaibara is not THIRD from the left, but SECOND. So I can agree with your opinion that mention of Brigadier General Lawson H.M. Sanderson is irrelevant in caption of the image used in the infobox. Especially when there are two men with glasses in the centre. But now, the caption is incorrect. I will revert you edit in the caption about place of admiral Sakaibara at the table.
Please be more careful with edits like this in the future. Thank you. AntonyZ (talk) 19:28, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

DYK for George F. Good Jr.
On 26 January 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article George F. Good Jr., which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that during World War II, Colonel George F. Good Jr. successfully defended Funafuti from ten Japanese attacks with a mixed unit that was "poorly armed" and "stuck out like a sore thumb"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/George F. Good Jr.. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, George F. Good Jr.), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog DriveG'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.

A barnstar for you!
The Original Barnstar
Thank you for your article on Harold C. Roberts, USMC. He was my grandfather. I inherited hundreds of letters and other documents from his career. I am very interested in your research, especially what may be available as "personal papers," per footnote 1. I will try to update the article from my information. Rojohnny (talk) 21:24, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hello Rojohnny,
- Thank you for the Barnstar! I really appreciate it! I am also very glad, that somebody from Colonel Roberts family had contacted me. Together we can improve article about him. If you asking about "personal papers", I am in touch with USMC Military History Division and they provided me some biographical information in PDF file and some photos. Unfortunatelly the biographical information were not detailed at all and I had to "dig deeper" to find something more detailed. I checked the documents named "Register of the commissioned and warrant officers of the United States Navy and Marine Corps and reserve officers on active duty" from 1917 to 1945 (total 17 files) and in each of these editions there were partly information like: Date of first commissioning, present rank and date of the rank, present duty station, date of last sea or expeditionary service, total lenght in years and months of service (including sea service, expeditionary service).
- It was like a puzzle, I knew his medal ribbons on his service uniform, which confirmed me the expeditionary duty in Nicaragua or China and if you put all these information together, I had a total overview of his career. Did you find something in the article about your grandfather, which is not correct? Do you have some additional information? Let me know please AntonyZ (talk) 12:51, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
Marine Corps General Portraits
- Hi Connorman, I checked my archive, but unfortunatelly I do not have any good photos of generals Lukeman, Megarr and Monahan. But If you give me some time, I will do my best to create a good biography of them. It is good to meet someone, who is interested in USMC history! AntonyZ (talk) 18:58, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks! I've noticed your past work on bios and I must say that you do a great job in generating quality content, and to keep it up! With regards to general officer portraits, here are some of others I've created but haven't been able to locate any high quality photos for: William R. Etnyre, Robert F. Milligan, James J.

Speedy deletion nomination of Oscar R. Cauldwell - Reverted, my mistakeI have reverted your edits on this article for the following important reasons:
- The man "in centre with glasses" -- as described in your addition to the caption -- is actually Japanese Paymaster Lieutenant P. Hisao Napasato, as can easily be ascertained from the Summary of File:Wake Island Surrender.jpg, not Lawson H. M. Sanderson. This is a serious error which on its own would have justified reverting your edits.
- The subject of the article is Shigematsu Sakaibara. The identity of the notable U.S. commander to whom he surrendered, is irrelevant in the caption of the image used in the infobox.
Please be more careful with edits like this in the future. Thank you. MPS1992 (talk) 19:02, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
- Hello,
If you take a look on the article now, you can notify the description says: Admiral Shigematsu Sakaibara (seated third from left) signing the surrender of Wake Island aboard USS Levy on September 4, 1945. But actually admiral Sakaibara is not THIRD from the left, but SECOND. So I can agree with your opinion that mention of Brigadier General Lawson H.M. Sanderson is irrelevant in caption of the image used in the infobox. Especially when there are two men with glasses in the centre. But now, the caption is incorrect. I will revert you edit in the caption about place of admiral Sakaibara at the table.
Please be more careful with edits like this in the future. Thank you. AntonyZ (talk) 19:28, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

Earl C. Long and Clayton, New Jersey
- Good Morning, I already add the source to that "claim". By the way I cooperate with USMC military history division and they provided me his personal papers. Is it enough? AntonyZ (talk) 05:51, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
- I see the link added to the article and I know that the book only includes previews, but I can't find anything in there (or elsewhere) that says that he's from Clayton. Do you have the actual book or any other publicly available source that says he's from Clayton, New Jersey? Alansohn (talk) 14:20, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

DYK for George F. Good Jr.
On 26 January 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article George F. Good Jr., which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that during World War II, Colonel George F. Good Jr. successfully defended Funafuti from ten Japanese attacks with a mixed unit that was "poorly armed" and "stuck out like a sore thumb"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/George F. Good Jr.. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, George F. Good Jr.), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog DriveG'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.

A barnstar for you!
The Original Barnstar
Thank you for your article on Harold C. Roberts, USMC. He was my grandfather. I inherited hundreds of letters and other documents from his career. I am very interested in your research, especially what may be available as "personal papers," per footnote 1. I will try to update the article from my information. Rojohnny (talk) 21:24, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hello Rojohnny,
- Thank you for the Barnstar! I really appreciate it! I am also very glad, that somebody from Colonel Roberts family had contacted me. Together we can improve article about him. If you asking about "personal papers", I am in touch with USMC Military History Division and they provided me some biographical information in PDF file and some photos. Unfortunatelly the biographical information were not detailed at all and I had to "dig deeper" to find something more detailed. I checked the documents named "Register of the commissioned and warrant officers of the United States Navy and Marine Corps and reserve officers on active duty" from 1917 to 1945 (total 17 files) and in each of these editions there were partly information like: Date of first commissioning, present rank and date of the rank, present duty station, date of last sea or expeditionary service, total lenght in years and months of service (including sea service, expeditionary service).
- It was like a puzzle, I knew his medal ribbons on his service uniform, which confirmed me the expeditionary duty in Nicaragua or China and if you put all these information together, I had a total overview of his career. Did you find something in the article about your grandfather, which is not correct? Do you have some additional information? Let me know please AntonyZ (talk) 12:51, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
Marine Corps General Portraits
- Hi Connorman, I checked my archive, but unfortunatelly I do not have any good photos of generals Lukeman, Megarr and Monahan. But If you give me some time, I will do my best to create a good biography of them. It is good to meet someone, who is interested in USMC history! AntonyZ (talk) 18:58, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks! I've noticed your past work on bios and I must say that you do a great job in generating quality content, and to keep it up! With regards to general officer portraits, here are some of others I've created but haven't been able to locate any high quality photos for: William R. Etnyre, Robert F. Milligan, James J.

Speedy deletion nomination of Oscar R. Cauldwell - Reverted, my mistakeI have reverted your edits on this article for the following important reasons:
- The man "in centre with glasses" -- as described in your addition to the caption -- is actually Japanese Paymaster Lieutenant P. Hisao Napasato, as can easily be ascertained from the Summary of File:Wake Island Surrender.jpg, not Lawson H. M. Sanderson. This is a serious error which on its own would have justified reverting your edits.
- The subject of the article is Shigematsu Sakaibara. The identity of the notable U.S. commander to whom he surrendered, is irrelevant in the caption of the image used in the infobox.
Please be more careful with edits like this in the future. Thank you. MPS1992 (talk) 19:02, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
- Hello,
If you take a look on the article now, you can notify the description says: Admiral Shigematsu Sakaibara (seated third from left) signing the surrender of Wake Island aboard USS Levy on September 4, 1945. But actually admiral Sakaibara is not THIRD from the left, but SECOND. So I can agree with your opinion that mention of Brigadier General Lawson H.M. Sanderson is irrelevant in caption of the image used in the infobox. Especially when there are two men with glasses in the centre. But now, the caption is incorrect. I will revert you edit in the caption about place of admiral Sakaibara at the table.
Please be more careful with edits like this in the future. Thank you. AntonyZ (talk) 19:28, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

Earl C. Long and Clayton, New Jersey
- Good Morning, I already add the source to that "claim". By the way I cooperate with USMC military history division and they provided me his personal papers. Is it enough? AntonyZ (talk) 05:51, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
- I see the link added to the article and I know that the book only includes previews, but I can't find anything in there (or elsewhere) that says that he's from Clayton. Do you have the actual book or any other publicly available source that says he's from Clayton, New Jersey? Alansohn (talk) 14:20, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

DYK for George F. Good Jr.
On 26 January 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article George F. Good Jr., which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that during World War II, Colonel George F. Good Jr. successfully defended Funafuti from ten Japanese attacks with a mixed unit that was "poorly armed" and "stuck out like a sore thumb"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/George F. Good Jr.. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, George F. Good Jr.), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog DriveG'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.

A barnstar for you!
The Original Barnstar
Thank you for your article on Harold C. Roberts, USMC. He was my grandfather. I inherited hundreds of letters and other documents from his career. I am very interested in your research, especially what may be available as "personal papers," per footnote 1. I will try to update the article from my information. Rojohnny (talk) 21:24, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hello Rojohnny,
- Thank you for the Barnstar! I really appreciate it! I am also very glad, that somebody from Colonel Roberts family had contacted me. Together we can improve article about him. If you asking about "personal papers", I am in touch with USMC Military History Division and they provided me some biographical information in PDF file and some photos. Unfortunatelly the biographical information were not detailed at all and I had to "dig deeper" to find something more detailed. I checked the documents named "Register of the commissioned and warrant officers of the United States Navy and Marine Corps and reserve officers on active duty" from 1917 to 1945 (total 17 files) and in each of these editions there were partly information like: Date of first commissioning, present rank and date of the rank, present duty station, date of last sea or expeditionary service, total lenght in years and months of service (including sea service, expeditionary service).
- It was like a puzzle, I knew his medal ribbons on his service uniform, which confirmed me the expeditionary duty in Nicaragua or China and if you put all these information together, I had a total overview of his career. Did you find something in the article about your grandfather, which is not correct? Do you have some additional information? Let me know please AntonyZ (talk) 12:51, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
Marine Corps General Portraits
- Hi Connorman, I checked my archive, but unfortunatelly I do not have any good photos of generals Lukeman, Megarr and Monahan. But If you give me some time, I will do my best to create a good biography of them. It is good to meet someone, who is interested in USMC history! AntonyZ (talk) 18:58, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks! I've noticed your past work on bios and I must say that you do a great job in generating quality content, and to keep it up! With regards to general officer portraits, here are some of others I've created but haven't been able to locate any high quality photos for: William R. Etnyre, Robert F. Milligan, James J.

Speedy deletion nomination of Oscar R. Cauldwell - Reverted, my mistakeI have reverted your edits on this article for the following important reasons:
- The man "in centre with glasses" -- as described in your addition to the caption -- is actually Japanese Paymaster Lieutenant P. Hisao Napasato, as can easily be ascertained from the Summary of File:Wake Island Surrender.jpg, not Lawson H. M. Sanderson. This is a serious error which on its own would have justified reverting your edits.
- The subject of the article is Shigematsu Sakaibara. The identity of the notable U.S. commander to whom he surrendered, is irrelevant in the caption of the image used in the infobox.
Please be more careful with edits like this in the future. Thank you. MPS1992 (talk) 19:02, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
- Hello,
If you take a look on the article now, you can notify the description says: Admiral Shigematsu Sakaibara (seated third from left) signing the surrender of Wake Island aboard USS Levy on September 4, 1945. But actually admiral Sakaibara is not THIRD from the left, but SECOND. So I can agree with your opinion that mention of Brigadier General Lawson H.M. Sanderson is irrelevant in caption of the image used in the infobox. Especially when there are two men with glasses in the centre. But now, the caption is incorrect. I will revert you edit in the caption about place of admiral Sakaibara at the table.
Please be more careful with edits like this in the future. Thank you. AntonyZ (talk) 19:28, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

- I see the link added to the article and I know that the book only includes previews, but I can't find anything in there (or elsewhere) that says that he's from Clayton. Do you have the actual book or any other publicly available source that says he's from Clayton, New Jersey? Alansohn (talk) 14:20, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

DYK for George F. Good Jr.
On 26 January 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article George F. Good Jr., which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that during World War II, Colonel George F. Good Jr. successfully defended Funafuti from ten Japanese attacks with a mixed unit that was "poorly armed" and "stuck out like a sore thumb"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/George F. Good Jr.. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, George F. Good Jr.), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog DriveG'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.

A barnstar for you!
The Original Barnstar
Thank you for your article on Harold C. Roberts, USMC. He was my grandfather. I inherited hundreds of letters and other documents from his career. I am very interested in your research, especially what may be available as "personal papers," per footnote 1. I will try to update the article from my information. Rojohnny (talk) 21:24, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hello Rojohnny,
- Thank you for the Barnstar! I really appreciate it! I am also very glad, that somebody from Colonel Roberts family had contacted me. Together we can improve article about him. If you asking about "personal papers", I am in touch with USMC Military History Division and they provided me some biographical information in PDF file and some photos. Unfortunatelly the biographical information were not detailed at all and I had to "dig deeper" to find something more detailed. I checked the documents named "Register of the commissioned and warrant officers of the United States Navy and Marine Corps and reserve officers on active duty" from 1917 to 1945 (total 17 files) and in each of these editions there were partly information like: Date of first commissioning, present rank and date of the rank, present duty station, date of last sea or expeditionary service, total lenght in years and months of service (including sea service, expeditionary service).
- It was like a puzzle, I knew his medal ribbons on his service uniform, which confirmed me the expeditionary duty in Nicaragua or China and if you put all these information together, I had a total overview of his career. Did you find something in the article about your grandfather, which is not correct? Do you have some additional information? Let me know please AntonyZ (talk) 12:51, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
Marine Corps General Portraits
- Hi Connorman, I checked my archive, but unfortunatelly I do not have any good photos of generals Lukeman, Megarr and Monahan. But If you give me some time, I will do my best to create a good biography of them. It is good to meet someone, who is interested in USMC history! AntonyZ (talk) 18:58, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks! I've noticed your past work on bios and I must say that you do a great job in generating quality content, and to keep it up! With regards to general officer portraits, here are some of others I've created but haven't been able to locate any high quality photos for: William R. Etnyre, Robert F. Milligan, James J.

Speedy deletion nomination of Oscar R. Cauldwell - Reverted, my mistakeI have reverted your edits on this article for the following important reasons:
- The man "in centre with glasses" -- as described in your addition to the caption -- is actually Japanese Paymaster Lieutenant P. Hisao Napasato, as can easily be ascertained from the Summary of File:Wake Island Surrender.jpg, not Lawson H. M. Sanderson. This is a serious error which on its own would have justified reverting your edits.
- The subject of the article is Shigematsu Sakaibara. The identity of the notable U.S. commander to whom he surrendered, is irrelevant in the caption of the image used in the infobox.
Please be more careful with edits like this in the future. Thank you. MPS1992 (talk) 19:02, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
- Hello,
If you take a look on the article now, you can notify the description says: Admiral Shigematsu Sakaibara (seated third from left) signing the surrender of Wake Island aboard USS Levy on September 4, 1945. But actually admiral Sakaibara is not THIRD from the left, but SECOND. So I can agree with your opinion that mention of Brigadier General Lawson H.M. Sanderson is irrelevant in caption of the image used in the infobox. Especially when there are two men with glasses in the centre. But now, the caption is incorrect. I will revert you edit in the caption about place of admiral Sakaibara at the table.
Please be more careful with edits like this in the future. Thank you. AntonyZ (talk) 19:28, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 7Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Austin R. Brunelli, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Atlantic Fleet (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

DYK for George F. Good Jr.
On 26 January 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article George F. Good Jr., which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that during World War II, Colonel George F. Good Jr. successfully defended Funafuti from ten Japanese attacks with a mixed unit that was "poorly armed" and "stuck out like a sore thumb"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/George F. Good Jr.. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, George F. Good Jr.), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog DriveG'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.

A barnstar for you!
The Original Barnstar Thank you for your article on Harold C. Roberts, USMC. He was my grandfather. I inherited hundreds of letters and other documents from his career. I am very interested in your research, especially what may be available as "personal papers," per footnote 1. I will try to update the article from my information. Rojohnny (talk) 21:24, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hello Rojohnny,
- Thank you for the Barnstar! I really appreciate it! I am also very glad, that somebody from Colonel Roberts family had contacted me. Together we can improve article about him. If you asking about "personal papers", I am in touch with USMC Military History Division and they provided me some biographical information in PDF file and some photos. Unfortunatelly the biographical information were not detailed at all and I had to "dig deeper" to find something more detailed. I checked the documents named "Register of the commissioned and warrant officers of the United States Navy and Marine Corps and reserve officers on active duty" from 1917 to 1945 (total 17 files) and in each of these editions there were partly information like: Date of first commissioning, present rank and date of the rank, present duty station, date of last sea or expeditionary service, total lenght in years and months of service (including sea service, expeditionary service).
- It was like a puzzle, I knew his medal ribbons on his service uniform, which confirmed me the expeditionary duty in Nicaragua or China and if you put all these information together, I had a total overview of his career. Did you find something in the article about your grandfather, which is not correct? Do you have some additional information? Let me know please AntonyZ (talk) 12:51, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
Marine Corps General Portraits
- Hi Connorman, I checked my archive, but unfortunatelly I do not have any good photos of generals Lukeman, Megarr and Monahan. But If you give me some time, I will do my best to create a good biography of them. It is good to meet someone, who is interested in USMC history! AntonyZ (talk) 18:58, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks! I've noticed your past work on bios and I must say that you do a great job in generating quality content, and to keep it up! With regards to general officer portraits, here are some of others I've created but haven't been able to locate any high quality photos for: William R. Etnyre, Robert F. Milligan, James J.
