message: Though the current family picture is very cute, is there a more encyclopedic picture that can be used for this article?  Bud Day is not encyclopedic b/c he is a grandfather, but b.c of his past exploits. Djma12 03:58, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Article Picture

message: It's well documented that Colonel Day has been extremely active on the political scence in the last 9 years.  This includes, though not limited to, his activity on behalf of U.S. veterans of the armed services, personal political motivations/affiliations and republican presidential campaigns, including the campaigns of 2000, 2004, and 2008 for both Mr. McCain and Mr. Bush.  It seems relevant to note these activities in this BLP given that there are plenty of sources documenting this.  How these activities reflect on Colonel Day's article/biography should not affect their possible inclusion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Erkenbrack (talk • contribs) 23:39, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I would have no problem with this, so long as the language is neutral and the sources are reliable (not blogs). Kelly hi! 23:47, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Except that the blog being cited is published by CNN, and thus qualifies as a reliable source. Method of publication is not what concerns us - editorial supervision is. Blogs published by professional media outlets (as opposed to those self-published) can be used. FCYTravis (talk) 06:40, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

text: Yet Kelly deleted my comment about Day's broader discussion of the role of 527s in the political process and his characterization that "527 groups can do very effective, truthful things, and the Swift Boat attack was totally truthful." The quote is referenced to the very same CNN blog entry, and is also found in the Miami Herald article in which the .WAV recording of the phone conversation of Day and the Florida GOP is found. How is verifiably quoting the man directly, in proper context, not neutral and reliable? Given that the man is understandably a supporter of John McCain's Presidential campaign, his broader views on the use or disuse of 527 organizations during the current election cycle seem to be perfectly legitimate topics for this BLP.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.240.6.113 (talk) 04:28, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I know Day was also active in ESGR - Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, which advocated for reserve component service members' rights under USERRA, a few years back. This should also warrant a mention.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.2.55.248 (talk) 00:41, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Day's politics

message: The 'Retirement' section states that among the aircraft Day flew were the CF-5 Tiger and CF-18 Hornet.  This seems strange as those appear to be the Canadian Forces designations, but Day was a USAF pilot.  Can anyone explain what's going on there? -Joshuapaquin (talk) 13:14, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Some questions on comparison with this source, perhaps for :
* These decorations have more awards there than here:
** Asiatic–Pacific Campaign Medal 3 vs. 1
** Vietnam Service Medal 16 vs. 14 (and why not just one ribbon with three ss then? Awards from diff branches?)
** Air Force Longevity Service Award 7 vs. 6
* We show , supposedly the "Order of Victory of Resistance against Aggression". In the "whites" pic, at the bottom right of the rack, is a ribbon of red/dark blue/center yellow/dark blue/red with a metal device, which is variously called the "Medal in Commemoration of Victory in the Resistance Against Aggression" and "China War Memorial" here and "War of Resistance Victory Commemorative Medal" here. Since we know from the pic that he definitely has this, was it maybe confused with the ribbon that we currently show (the first one shown above)?
* We show the Republic of Korea War Service Medal and the  Medal of Valor, Iowa Air National Guard
* There is what appears to be a star badge below the right breast pocket. Any ideas? —[AlanM1(talk)]— 19:36, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
