message: The first very long paragraph of the 1980s Service section seems a bit out of place, has no context explaining what they are talking about (you pretty much have to piece it together from the content, and even then there are huge gaps on exactly what the issue is), is poorly written, uses a bunch of non-encyclopedia appropriate idioms, and is filled with ellipses. Did someone cut and paste this mess from somewhere else? Why is there so much text dedicated to this non-service related piece? Also, there is only a single reference in the whole long paragraph, and seems highly POV. I guessing someone cut-and-pasted this from an article (possibly the Time Magazine article, but it is hidden behind a log-in wall), in which case this could be bordering on plagiarism. — al-Shimoni (talk) 12:41, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: That material was added on 15:57, 11 July 2013 by 76.123.130.83.  I've removed it as it is likely a WP:BLP violation unless it is very well cited.  The Time Magazine article is provided as reference for Airman Paul Trerice's death, and there is no indication that it includes anything related to the subsequent material.  (The full article is accessible by subscription only, so perhaps someone else can check that out.) -- ToE 21:02, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

message: This part... Among those rescued were the future U.S. Army Lt. Col. Lan T. Dalat and U.S. Army Captain Anthony H. Lang, who settled in Orange County, California, after their stay at the Vietnamese refugee camp in Palawan, Philippines.[14]  seems like nothing more than self promotion.  It admirable that these two refugees went on to become Army officers, but it's nothing spectacular.  Although there is in fact a reference, it's again a self promotion.  If these two officers become generals, then maybe the inclusion of this would be warranted.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.51.81.50 (talk) 12:58, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

message: I have removed some (of what I feel to be) unnecessary information present in the article about Operation Linebacker II. I have also removed the self-contradictory template, as the information was correct and consistent, but just poorly worded. The Navy flew 119 sorties over the first five days of the operation (18-22 December), and 505 over the entirety of Linebacker II (18-29 December). Both numbers were present in the article, which caused the confusion. The source material doesn't mention the significance of the first five days of the campaign (just the number of sorties flown), nor does it mention the significance of the bad weather that limited the total number of sorties; as such I have chosen to remove both of those statements from the article in the interest of brevity and clarity. Both are explicitly mentioned in the source, however, so if someone feels that they add to the narrative, please respond here so we can discuss. If we do add that information back in, I would recommend some additional clarification so that the reader can understand its significance beyond mere statistics. Thanks!

message: Since the real USS Enterprise wasn't available, in part as it really had nuclear reactors while Ranger lacked them and the associated security issues, Ranger portrayed it. Will (Talk - contribs) 22:53, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: There use to be a mention of this appearance, but it was removed as it did not cite a reliable published source. BilCat (talk) 23:14, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

text: This source briefly mentions her use for filming scenes in both Top Gun and Star Trek IV. I'm going to restore the mention, but remove the content that's not in the source. BilCat (talk) 23:19, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

text: Oddly, two of the original sentences were verbatim from the source, which was an AP wire piece, so I had to rewrite it to avoid copyvios. BilCat (talk) 23:32, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
