Talk:Operation Freedom Deal

message: I'm so way out of my depth here, but having read some of the reasonably RS that back up the article and the talk page and, without prejudice, I notice that while there is some dispute about the amount of ordinance, there's less dispute regarding the number of bombing missions: 43,415. From what I can understand, bombing was done with B52 aircraft, each one with a load capacity of up to 30 tons of bombs (24*750lb+84*500lb - from carpet bombing).  If we were to take the 2.75 million tonnes of ordnance dropped quote, and divide that by full loads, it would suggest that an average bombing raid was equivalent to two fully loaded B52 bombers. Bearing in mind that a fully loaded B52 was capable of a 12 hour flight time, and that typical bombing formations included six B52 bombers, I find even the 5.7 million tonnes figure possible (if unlikely) given the upper limit to tonnage dropped (given the missions, formation, load, etc) is 7.8 million tons.  On the same note, regardless of the excellent work done by rooting through the worst kept database in history, I find the notion of 0.5million tons unlikely, based on my simple, inexpert, and ill-informed calculations.

message: The USS Herring is described here as having sunk the German submarine U-163, but www.uboat.net reports that U-163 was sunk by the Canadian corvette HMCS Prescott.
Wikipedia's page for the Flower class corvette also states that U-163 was sunk by the Prescott.

Talk:Glider Badge

message: The US Army glider program started in 1941 and ended in the early 1950s. There were no combat missions flown after WW2; training-only missions were flown after the end of the war. Combat transport by gliders was superseded by helicopters and parachute drops of heavy cargo.
Whoever is writing this silliness of qualification badges being "decorations" is grossly ignorant. One earns the qual badge in training. No combat experience is required for the badge to be awarded.
The heading should be corrected to read Glider Infantry Badge. Cross reference to the Auxiliary Pilot Badge entry.
Not true.  The badge was initially awarded, not for course completion, but for participation in a glider assault.  Also, the badge was not limited to infantry, but was awarded to others as well, such as glider-borne engineers, field artillery, etc.  See this link for award criteria.VilePig (talk) 00:37, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Individual Integrated Fighting System

message: As I read this I kept seeing references to an acronym, ALICE. I had NO idea what it meant as the first occurrence of it was neither spelled out nor linked to. I had to go search for it. Since there is a page that explains what it is, I am linking to it, as well as following the Wikipedia MoS guidelines on acronyms that states "Unless specified in the "Exceptions" section below, an acronym should be written out in full the first time it is used on a page, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses, e.g. Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Common exceptions to this rule are post-nominal initials because writing them out in full would cause clutter. To save space, in "small spaces" (infoboxes, navboxes and tables), acronyms do not need to be written out in full. When not written out in full on the first use on a page, an acronym should be linked. An unambiguous acronym can be linked as is but or ambiguous acronym should be linked to its expansion." per the Acronyms section on the MoS/Abbreviations page. ALICE is not a listed exception, it does not  represent post-nomial initials, and is not in an infobox, navbox or table. I am changing the first occurrence to All-purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment and linking to the page discussing that is linked here.

message: I requested a move of this page to Yakima Sun Kings because I am an idiot--I saw the article and thought "Hey, that's not how you spell Yakima!" I was very wrong.

message: I think now that the team has been defunct for several years, the article should be moved back to the Yakima Sun Kings spelling. The franchise was known by its city name for the majority of its history and the ownership by members of the Yakama Native American people was a very small part of its history (and ultimately caused the team to go defunct). Just to clarify, "Yakama" is the official spelling of the native group whose reservation is just south of the city of Yakima, Washington, which uses an anglicized spelling.

Talk:James Sherwin

message: Surely an article on James Sherwin cannot ignore the fact that he was in the middle of a big financial scandal while at GAF. I do not recall the details but a quick Google search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=James+Sherwin+GAF&btnG=Google+Search) reveals that he was convicted of violating the securities laws and that the conviction was overturned. Someone with knowledge of the details should add them (with citations to sources).
:Actually if you go through the history of the article you will see that those gory details used to be there. It was entirely removed by an anonymous editor on 29-Sep-06, and replaced with the current article. The current article is a very sterile CV.

Talk:Taj Mahal (disambiguation)

message: I removed 
* Taj Mahal (porn star), pornographic actress and bondage model of Indian appearance
for a performer whose 3-word article has been deleted, and whose notability is too hard for me to pursue any further. The only clearly relevant info i found is at the 'Net Adult Film Db, and its sparseness  says pretty strongly that even the experts don't know much.  (However, it only hints at n-n, given that there is so much interfering Web data on the building and the blue musician that locating any of even a few thousand relevant hits is beyond at least my skill and persistence.)

message: Please see WP:D
Disambiguation is required whenever, for a given word or phrase on which a reader might use the "Go button", there is more than one Wikipedia article to which that word or phrase might be expected to lead. [emphasis added by me]
If the restaurant is notable enough for an article, then when the article is written, use this page to disambiguate for any reader who finds himself looking for information about the Taj Mahal in Crawley and discovers instead the Taj Mahal in Agra visted by several million people a year.  To disambiguate from Taj Mahal to an article about Crawley itself is not proper use of this page. I will note that the Crawley article contains no refrence to the Taj Mahal restaurant, so it seems reasonable to question why the Taj Mahal disambiguation page should contain such a reference.--nemonoman (talk) 14:30, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I changed the date of the inclusion of the two coastal counties from 10/21/07 to the correct 4/27/08. On 10/21/07, permissive dialing begins, which means local calls can be dialed as either 7 digits or with the 503 area code. Because no other area code can be dialed in the permissive phase, 971 cannot be assigned or used. Mandatory dialing begins 4/27/08, after which 971 (or a new area code) can be used, subject to office code assignment.

message: The table of Central office prefixes in area code 541 is wrong, at least for most prefixes introduced before Feb 1996. Either all the old area codes that were moved from 503 to 541 would have a creation date of November 5, 1995, for when 541 was created, or their original date when they were created in area code 503. In the second case many of them go back to the 1947. I expect if the prefixes labeled as "introduced" in Jan 10, 1996, were changed to Nov 5, 1995 the table might be correct, but I don't have time to verify this right now.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thermocouple (talk • contribs) 22:50, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

message: Isn't it a little strange that New York, NY redirects to Manhatten but New York, New York redirects to New York City?--70.123.155.120 02:45, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Fixed. It's sometimes confusing because, due to historical and logistical reasons, the postal address "New York, NY" is for Manhattan only, but in all other cases since 1898 "New York, New York" refers to the entire city. For that reason the template "Redir from US postal ab" can be misleading in this case. Station1 (talk) 21:55, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

text: I get where you're coming from.  It's true "NY" is one of the USPS standard state abbreviations.  Like all the two-letter abbreviations (MN, AK, TN, etc), they were originally intended for automated mail processing and were not "official" for other purposes.  But over time many people began to use them as general state abbreviations.  That's especially true with the ones like NY as use of periods in abbreviations slowly went out of fashion.  Coupled with fact that the New York Post Office serves only Manhattan, "New York, NY" can be ambiguous: as a post office name it relates to Manhattan but as a city name it refers to the five boroughs. (NYC has 8 main post offices, due to its size and history, which I think is unique in the nation, although it's not uncommon that post office service areas do not exactly match municipal boundaries.)  So now "New York, NY" in a postal address definitely means Manhattan, but otherwise it might mean New York City, depending on context.  My main concern right now is that there are many hundreds of wikilinks to New York, NY that sometimes might intend Manhattan, sometimes might intend New York City, but rarely if ever intend to point to an article about a postal address.  If you want to fix all those links, an article about the New York Post Office might be justified (but even then New York Post Office might be a better title).
