Talk:7th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment

message: You may wish to take Grey 2008 to Military_history_of_Australia_during_the_Vietnam_War where they have drawn a different conclusion from sources of a similar time era, and characterise the dispute there as being firmly resolved on the side of the debate as Ming begging the US to let him be silly mid off on the Vietnamese wicket.

replies: text: Hi, Fifeloo, I've made an attempt to reconcile the differences in the sourcing in the Military history of Australia during the Vietnam War article as you suggest. If you could take a look, I'd be obliged. Cheers. AustralianRupert (talk) 12:37, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

message: Needs an update. Very little information on deployments after returning to order of battle. Compared to 5 RAR page it this one is poor. I'll update and bring it more in line with the other layout.AJAussie (talk) 12:42, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Update to Unit History 

message: Gday - I recently reverted a number of changes added by a new editor - User:7RAR, pls see here . Whilst I completely agree that this page is in need of being updated, and a lot of the information recently inserted could be used in this process; however, rather than just deleting what is already there and copying the whole new draft across I think we need to make to merge the two together more carefully. Specifically, there were a few issues I saw with the new draft, including:
# Deletion of existing referenced information;
# WP:UNDUE weight being placed on recent operations (i.e. Afghanistan);
# Addition of non-free images that will likely be deleted as they don't comply with the WP:NFCC rules; 
# A large amount of unreferenced text being added (per WP:VERIFY this really needs to be cited); 
# Lists of soldiers killed in action which is probably not appropriate per WP:NOTMEMORIAL;
# There were also a range of formatting issues but I accept that wiki format is something we all have to learn when we start out; and
# Quite a lot of "trivia" has been included (i.e. various dining in nights, football matches etc.) these really should not be included per WP:TRIVIA.
 - Thank you for taking the time to help with updating this page, we certainly need more editors that are prepared to work on these pages. Unfortunately Wikipedia has a lot of rules which can sometimes take a new editor a while to learn so I'd be quite happy to assist you with updating this page and with explaining any questions you have regarding wiki policy and formatting as you do so. That said I ask that you take a care in doing so and acquaint yourself with the relevant guidelines as well. In the meantime, although I have reverted your additions I will probably re-add some of the material you have provided where appropriate if I can find citations to support it. Regards.
