thread_title:  Missed Wing 

message: TadgStirkland, on your draft page, link the period designations, even if they're not still around. All the redirects etc are in place, thus 6th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing, not 6th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing.  That setup follows WP:NOTBROKEN if in fact  gets around to setting up separate wing pages at some point in the future. Buckshot06 (talk) 18:40, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: So, instead of linking directly to the latest name of the unit, I should use the older name? I suppose that's not a bad idea and would've saved me a lot of hunting and typing. I can make those changes... TadgStirkland401 (TadgTalk) 20:30, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Linking to Period-based Designations 

message: The only thing not mentioned about the 4200th in the 9th SRW article is that it was assigned to 14th Air Division.  I don't think it was around long enough to merit an article on its own, since it was only around for 18 months, although the fact that it was the first USAF wing to fly the SR-71 should make it notable.  I've updated the redirect to the 9th SRW article to go directly to the Beale AFB section.  Only other thing (no Wiki RS, just war story), is that when the 4200th was formed, the 903d Air Refueling Squadron came off nuclear alert.  Their modified planes were still called KC-135As (the KC-135Q designation came later).  Admin types are lazy, so since there was no longer a need for a restricted area for alert KC-135s at Beale, the powers that be used the same number on restricted area badges for the SR-71 ramp that had been used for the KC-135 alert area.  
We in 744th Bombardment Squadron had access to both the tanker and bomber alert areas, so those of us who were curious got some early closeup looks at the Blackbirds.  When the security folks came over because they thought (correctly) that we didn't have the proper access, they looked at our badges and apparently we did.  Took only a couple of weeks to fix the situation.  --Lineagegeek (talk) 21:57, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: , I just reread the 9th article for detail and I think I can make changes to my table. I’ll give it a shot tomorrow. Thanks for keeping me straight. After I make the changes, I’ll ask you to look at it again. After seeing it built, I like the table layout much better than the list form. TadgStirkland401 (TadgTalk) 01:11, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

replies: text:  Since this is a US military page, dates should be in dmy format.  --Lineagegeek (talk) 11:30, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:   thanks for the note about the dates. I was wondering about that. I loaded the change with the table, and then went back and updated the dates. I hope I got them all. Cheers... TadgStirkland401 (TadgTalk) 01:49, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
