message: :Image:Pappy.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: Shouldn't this article be Black Sheep Squadron?  That's what I've always seen the show as.  Emperor001 (talk) 03:57, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Article Name

message: I propose that this article be renamed Black Sheep Squadron (TV series) because every time I see the show, it is titled Black Sheep Squadron, not Baa Baa Black Sheep.  Emperor001 (talk) 02:17, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: *This is not the first TV show to be syndicated under a different title than it was released as. Generally, WP does not treat syndicated titles as "name changes". You'll note under the DVD section that the first season was released under the title Baa Baa Black Sheep. Apparantly they've changed it back! - BillCJ (talk) 17:39, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: According to this, the show was canceled and then revived with the name Black Sheep Squadron.  This coincides with my memory.  In syndication it is known as Black Sheep Squadron.  I don't have good references for this though.  Bubba73 (talk), 01:58, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: He is quite right, and this would be verified by any edition of Tim Brooks & Earle Marsh's The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows, 1946-Present, Ballantine Books, a new edition every four or five years. Unfortunately, I don't have a copy anymore, but surely somebody here does. --Tbrittreid (talk) 22:15, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Eleanor Roosevelt is listed as a guest star in S02E12. I am not familiar with the episode. But, since ER died in 1962, this is highly improbable. Perhaps it was stock footage or something else. But, this needs to be explained or deleted, in my opinion.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.16.220.21 (talk) 13:43, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

message: In episode 1.19 "Poor little lambs" there is a scene of a pink submarine submerging. Is it possible that this scene is taken from the movie "Operation Petticoat"? 89.204.130.193 (talk) 17:16, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

message: What are people's thoughts about the usage of the abbreviations for the ranks of the listed characters? Example: the article uses "MAJ" for Boyington and "1LT" for Bragg instead of "Major" and "First Lieutenant". Most of these are not explained in the article and are not linked. Are these considered clear enough to be understood by the general audience (ie: people with no military experience)?--Khajidha (talk) 12:08, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

message: This article incorrectly indicates that "Black Sheep Squadron" was the name given to the series in syndication. In fact, the name change occurred for the second season of the show, not just syndication. Refer to this Wikipedia article:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1977%E2%80%9378_United_States_network_television_schedule If there is no objection, I will make the change to the phrase in parentheses in the first sentence. --Westwind273 (talk) 05:10, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: The sources are listed at the end of the article under "Additional sources":  Watching TV, Total Television, Complete Directory to Prime Time. Also, what is the source for saying the name "Black Sheet Squadron" was used only in syndication? At a minimum, this statement should be deleted from the article, since there is no source. Finally, this was one of my favorite shows in the 70's, and I clearly remember the name change for the second season. Westwind273 (talk) 18:13, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
