Talk:Pat Pattle

message: In the article it was stated that Pattle joined the SAAF in South Africa which is wrong; he joined the SSB regiment or "Special Service Battalion". He  also went to a primary school in Keetmanshoop in Namibia.

thread_title:  Pattle  

message: I've restored the texts back to their original state. The recent edits were not to standard for a good article. The grammar was not good; the internet sources used were/are unreliable; there is a tally list for aerial victories in detail so there is no need to add reports of over claiming after each and every sentence about Pattle's claims; the citations did not use the appropriate format; I've noticed in one case a paragraph was removed because it had no citations (it did); paragraphs were broken up needlessly and it looked messy.

message: I'm rooting out all citations of this source, because it's not reliable, especially when the official histories and various secondary sources are available. Catrìona (talk) 23:03, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Going Solo]]: Not a reliable source 

message: Just to note that some of the formatting of ranks is inconsistent -- some in italics and some not. Also, this: "Sergente Tenente Maggiore Viola" is obviously incorrect. I assume that "Tenente" has somehow worked its way into the middle and that the rank ought to be "Sergente Maggiore".

replies: text: I would not make that assumption, unless you're familiar with the Italian WWII rank system. Ideally someone would consult the source (Gladiator vs CR.42 Falco: 1940–41) and find out what it actually says. Even if it's wrong, I don't think we can assume which rank is actually correct.

thread_title:  Formatting inconsistency 

message: This photo of a crashed Fiat CR42 does not seem appropriate for the article, since there is no indication that this particular one was shot down by Pattle. –dlthewave ☎ 03:10, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: It makes perfect sense. As ive already explained. Dapi89 (talk) 19:59, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Your edit summary was "of course it is relevant. He claimed 14." I disagree that it is relevant, since this particular crash is unrelated to Pattle. –dlthewave ☎ 20:31, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
