message: The issues about Vann raised in Mark Moyar's book Triumph Forsaken should be included and discussed.

thread_title: Distinguished Service Cross

message: I have deleted the above claim from the "Vietnam War Service" section. If you restore it, please give an appropriate citation (it's been marked "citation needed" since Dec. 2011).
As explained in Sheehan's book, Vann's commander Harkins wanted to fire him but relented on the advice of his other officers. Vann had just won the Distinguished Flying Cross and "firing Vann right after decorating him was awkward and would certainly make the scandal in the press that much worse" (Sheehan 330). Thus Vann served out his full one-year tour (331).

Talk:Ray Dennis Steckler

message: We know he made the White Rabbit promo, that sure looks like Carolyn Brandt cavorting, Isadora Duncan-style, on the beach. But what association did Steckler have with Janis Joplin? Or, even more speciously, Todd Rundgren, who was a New York City resident for most of that time? I've found nothing to back these associations up; it's gone until someone else can document it.

message: The article would benefit from a breakdown of the main roles in air forces.  In other words the current last paragraph of the lead (In addition to pilots, air forces have ground support staff who support the aircrew. In a similar manner to civilian airlines, there are supporting ground crew as pilots cannot fly without the assistance of other personnel such as engineers, loadmasters, fuel technicians and mechanics. However, some supporting personnel such as airfield defence troops, weapons engineers and air intelligence staff do not have equivalent roles in civilian organizations.) should summarize something.

Talk:List of Texas metropolitan areas

message: Recently, contributions have been made consistently insisting that instead of Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land being commonly known as Greater Houston in various newspapers and other relevant sources, that it is now Houston-Galveston, as Dallas-Fort Worth is. Those contributions would have to be deemed as dubious at best, as Galveston is nowhere within the name set out by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (I have also explained this in further detail on Talk:Greater Houston). The only name which may come close to this is the Houston-Galveston Area Council, which is a regional council typical in Texas. - TheLionHasSeen (talk) 13:03, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

:Travis, the best way to allow editors to verify info is for your publicist to get the information into newspapers and magazines so that the information meets reliable sources guidelines. This is partially to protect you since anyone can claim to be you and then add misinformation, but also makes it easier to verify since you might be busy on tour. Aboutmovies 03:21, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Vermont Railway

message: There appears to be a problem with the former units table. This is a mistake I made a while back and for some reason hasn't been corrected. Back in July of last year, I moved #301 to the former units section of the article as that diesel was sold to GMTX in late 2015 with four other Vermont Rail System GP40s as deal for FEC SD70M-2s 431/432. That part of the edit went smooth, however, former unit #381 somehow is now clinging to the side of #301's box rather then being underneath it. I have tried several times over the past few months to fix the mistake, but all attempts have failed miserably. 
Could I please have help with fixing the problem? The table just looks awkward with #381 not being properly placed on the table. --JCC the Alternate Historian (talk) 21:00, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Maurice Jewell

message: There are two places where this article differs from the Wisden/Cricinfo text:
* Wisden claims that Jewell's last match was against Oxford University. Not so: that was on 13 August 1933, whereas the one against the West Indians took place eighteen days later.
* Wisden asserts that JMH Jewell was Maurice's son. Not so: he was his nephew, as is correctly mentioned in the "Relations" section of the Cricinfo page.

thread_title:  Additional Info 

message: I read in Lewis Sorley's "A Better War" about how Weyand recognized NVA/VC activity in the hinterlands as diversionary as a precursor to the Tet Offensive. If I recall correctly, he withdrew several battalions into reserve in areas around Saigon (his AO at the time), which was responsible for significantly blunting the offensive and limiting success in that area.
I don't have my copy of "A Better War" with me and cannot speak with confidence, so someone who has better information may be in a better position to contribute more accurately to the article. But I believe it is very significant to this article, and speaks to the man's foresight and recognition of the enemy which Westmoreland failed to see. There is some info on Weyand in the Tet Offensive article that could be good to add to this page....  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.238.59.36 (talk) 09:11, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Grumman TBF Avenger

message: I worked for a timber company in north-central Idaho in 1961-62 and fought several fires in which TBF/TBMs were used. They carried a slurry made up of bentonite (a clay) dispersed in water. I have no idea where they were based, but they were under the direction of Clearwater Timber Protection Association (CTPA). They generally made one pass low over the target, then made a drop run. One of our firefighters misjudged a bomber's route and was directly under the drop. He came out looking like a flocked Christmas tree but was unhurt. 2601:602:87F:4A00:ECCA:5A18:AD7D:B1BE (talk) 00:44, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  TBF/TBMs as firefighting water bombers in Idaho 

message: The Royal Air Force established the Fleet Air Arm (FAA) to support Royal Navy fleet air operations. Thus, it was the Royal Air Force Fleet Air Arm. When full control of naval air forces was returned to the Royal Navy after 1936, the RAF Fleet Air Arm ceased to exist.
In its place, the Royal Navy established the Air Branch of the Royal Navy (ABRN). This is the name under which the aircrew of His Majesty's Navy fought during the Second World War.
It is true that the popular usage of Fleet Air Arm and FAA continued right through the war, just as American popular press continued using Air Corps and then employed "Air Force" for the United States Army Air Forces. In fact, so widespread and popular was the FAA appellation during the war, that ultimately the Royal Navy chose to adopt it as the official designation of its air services post-War.
That said, the actual name of the Royal Navy's air element was Air Branch of the Royal Navy or ABRN, and that name should be employed for the sake of improving the accuracy of the article.
Easily found references are the Admiralty records dealing with the return of naval aviation to the RN in the middle 1930s, available at the National Archives at Kew (formerly the PRO), and in respectable histories like Stephen Roskill's "Naval Policy Between the Wars".

replies: text: The TBF/TBM-1C followed the TBF-1B, which was the US Navy designation for the slightly modified design supplied to the Royal Navy.  Not all letters have a specific meaning, and in this case, "C" was just the next letter in the sequence. - ZLEA T\C 02:44, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
