Talk:John Bradley (United States Navy)

message: Just reverted an edit that suggested Bradley accompanied the other five up Suribachi.  No, first of all, carefully read the various history books.  Bradley was not attached to the same platoon as Strank, etc.  He was in another platoon in E Company, and was in fact, already on the top of Suribachi.  There is some evidence that he is actually in Lowery's photo of the first flagraising (see caption for that photo).  He was up there a couple hours before Gagnon carried the second flag up and gave it to Strank.  As he often said, he was just hanging around when asked to jump in and give them a hand raising it.  See James Bradley's book, plus Albee and Cushman's book, etc.  Sir Rhosis 19:28, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Bradley was not attached to Strank's, etc., platoon

message: I want to add some more information about John Bradleys post war life. I also wanted to add information about his views on the flag raising that have not already been included in this article. If anyone else has any ideas or comments about this that would be great. Thanks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Souvlaki14 (talk • contribs) 04:02, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adding Information 

message: Currently, I am engaging in an edit war with YahwehSaves (Talk | Contribs) and their sock puppet 75.79.31.20 (Talk | Contribs) (which is a common occurrence for their disruptive edits, see their contributions page), for their attempts to add unreferenced and uncited information. One issue is the Combat Action Ribbon, which wasn't awarded until 1969. YahwehSaves continues to add this information, among other unreferenced information, to the page, where I promptly revert the edit & invite them to discuss such edits here at the talk page. It is not my intention to keep factual information from being on this page, but I'm unable to find any references to John Bradley being retroactively awarded the CAR. As such, the edits made by YahwehSaves & 75.79.31.20 will be continue to be reverted if unreferenced. Bullmoosebell (talk) 02:22, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disruptive Edits 

message: Its common knowledge that Navy Cross citations (and other citations) were written during World War II with all the letters of the last name of the recipient in capitol letters throughout the citation. Actual citations for a Pharmacist Mate Second Class attached to Marine unit like Bradley, 1944:  Wouldn't have had to do show this except for an editor undoing Bradley's capitalized last name in his citation based on what disruptive editor thinks should be done for Bradley. YahwehSaves (talk) 20:51, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I answered you on your talk page, but I see you bring it up here, so I will engage you here. You unnecessarily capitalized Bradley's name in two different places. Please refer to the Wikipedia Manual of Style, specifically MOS:ALLCAPS. While Department of the Navy citations have capitalized the name, Wikipedia does not. Citing "common knowledge" is not the strongest reference for any best practice. It is not what you think it should be nor what I think it should be because, the Wikipedia community has decided, through a consensus based process, that last names in citations should not be in caps.  Read the MOS please, it will aid you in understanding why his name should not be in all caps, I am not interested in rehashing a DoN citation.  Thanks.  EricSerge (talk) 22:49, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps the citation in quote marks matters. YahwehSaves (talk) 23:27, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: No, please read MOS:Blockquote. You would only add marks if there was a quote within the quote.  EricSerge (talk) 14:08, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

text: I concur with  here. The Wikipedia policies are fairly clear on this. — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 14:15, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
