Talk:Howitzer Motor Carriage M8

message: When you say "(l)ike the Light Tank M5, the M8 had a crew of four; commander, gunner, driver, and assistant driver/loader", it appears to be saying that the M5 had a crew consisting of those members. As far as I know, the M3 and M5 both had crews of driver, bow gunner, loader and gunner/commander. That was how they fought; there was no room for a commander, gunner and loader in the turret, and if the bow gunner moved to the turret to load the gun in combat, there wouldn't be a whole lot of point in having the bow gun at all (and having the commander fight outside the turret at the AA mount would be plainly foolish for a front-line AFV, whereas it might perhaps be feasbile for a 2nd-line support SPG like the M8). The whole point is that the M8 had a larger turret, capable of holding three crew, which is why the driver and loader/assistant driver lost their roof hatches. I'm going to assume this is an honest mistake, and no-one was actually trying to suggest the M5 was manned the same way as the M8, but the language really does suggest that in at least two places. It ought to say "like the Light Tank M5, the M8 had a crew of four. However, unlike the M5, the M5 had both a gunner and a commander, the duties of loader being assumed by the assistant driver in action, whereas in the M5 the commander also served as gunner, and the assistant driver served as bow gunner" (or something less verbose; conscision is not my thing).
This is all assuming that this was actually the way the men were trained to use the M8, not some localized thing units in the Pacific came up with, and which someone read about in some anecdote and proceeded to post on Wikipedia as standard tactics for the M8 in general. Because it seems a little suspect to me; perhaps the M8's AA gun can be manned and fired from inside the turret, unlike the M5's, in which case it would make better sense than having one man outside the tank totally. But it begs the question "why didn't they just make it a 3-man turret?"

Talk:Flag of Baltimore

message: I see this article is about the flag of Baltimore City.  But, there is also a flag of Baltimore County, which you can see here:

(C) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Baltimore_County,_Maryland.png
(D) http://www.baltimorecountymd.gov/countycouncil/about.html
Seeing as how (1) the title of this article is "Flag of Baltimore" (which incorrectly misleads the reader into thinking that there is only one flag associated with Baltimore), (2) the title of the article could easily refer to either flag of Baltimore, and (3) the article is a stub, I make the following recommendation:
First, that we include two sections in this article, one for the flag of Baltimore City, and the other for the flag of Baltimore County.
Second, that we change the name of the article to Flags of Baltimore.
Third, that we redirect the old Flag of Baltimore page to the new Flags of Baltimore page.

Talk:Flag of Seattle

message: Hello,
My name is Jackson Ridl, @SmartAn01 had tagged parts of this page for potential conflicts of Interest for me as it relates to this page. It is true that I have a non-profit named Seattle City Flag and this is referenced in the "Alternative Proposal" section. But it is also true that the City of Seattle has awarded my non-profit grant funding to begin piloting this design in the city of Seattle. I am unclear on how best to resolve this conflict of interest given that it intersects with my Subject Matter Expertise. I'm fine to remove this section if that is required, but I think Wikipedia would be missing important and relevant information for this page if this was done. Perhaps edits to make sure that there is no bias in this section is required? looking for recommendations to ensure fair, clear, transparent, and accurate information.
Thanks!

replies: text: Almost the entirety of the "Alternative proposal" section falls under WP:WEIGHT since it has not been mentioned in any reliable source such as The Seattle Times. The only part that might be kept would be the grant awarded by the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture if you are able to upload a document from the office stating such to the non-profit's website; the office itself has not published anything regarding the grant to my knowledge. As for the rest of the article, contributions from subject matter experts would normally be addressed with WP:EXPERT; since you are also part of an advocacy group, I think you would be better off making suggestions here to avoid conflict of interest. That is what I can elaborate on to the best of my ability; I'll ping  for further clarification. SmartAn01 (talk) 21:01, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Subject Matter Expert intersection with Conflict of Interest 

message: In the image for the current Seattle flag, it states that the designer was Paul Kraabel, this is inaccurate. Paul was the Seattle City Council President at the time of the flag's adoption, but his design was not ultimately used (his had a ferry, the space needle, and the mountains). To get a better design, Paul reached out to his colleague David Write who was an architect who developed the known current design. I'm not sure how to update this box to reflect this.

Having said that, the Wikipedia project while attempting to bring order out of chaos seems to be something that should probably be brought to an end.  It has replaced the monopoly of the press and mass-media with the monopoly of pin-heads that are such sticklers that they don't care enough about just editing in changes for what doesn't meet their picayune standards.  Don't comment about it - just change it if it provides useful information.  If it doesn't provide useful information, delete the article.  Personally, what I wanted was a zeroed in map of the actual pass itself plus something that shows its location better.
