thread_title: Articles for Deletion debate

message: Hi, all. The reason I've changed "External links" to "References" comes from these sections of Wikipedia:Cite_sources, quoted verbatim below. (Please note in Item 2 below that the italics are theirs, and not inserted by me.) Thanks!
1)
:Complete citations in a "References" section
:Complete citations, also called "references," are collected at the end of the article under a ==References== heading. Under this heading, list the comprehensive reference information as a bulleted (*) list, one bullet per reference work.
2) 
:External links/Further reading
:The ==External links== or ==Further reading== section is placed after the references section, and offers books, articles, and links to websites related to the topic that might be of interest to the reader, but which have not been used as sources for the article. Where there is a references section, editors may prefer to call the external links section "further reading," because the references section may also contain external links, and the further reading section may contain items that are not online.
So sources used to write an article go under "References", and other helpful citations go under "External links" if they're linkable and "Further reading" if they're not online. — Tenebrae 14:55, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: "References" vs. "External links"

message: It's per Wikipedia style guidelines. This from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_%28dates_and_numbers%29#Avoid_overlinking_dates
:Avoid overlinking dates
:If the date does not contain a day and a month, date preferences will not work, and square brackets will not respond to your readers' auto-formatting preferences. So unless there is a special relevance of the date link, there is no need to link it. This is an important point: simple months, years, decades and centuries should only be linked if there is a strong reason for doing so. Make only links relevant to the context for the reasons that it's usually undesirable to insert low-value chronological links.
:Usage of links for date preferences
:* year only. So 1974 → 1974. Generally, do not link unless they will clearly help the reader to understand the topic.
:* month only. So April → April. Generally, do not link
:* century. So 20th century → 20th century. Generally, do not link
:* decade. So 1970s → 1970s. Generally, do not link (Including an apostrophe [1970's] is incorrect)
:* year and month. So April 1974 → April 1974 Generally, do not link
:* new year and month. So April 2000 → April 2000 Generally, do not link unless they will clearly help the reader to understand the topic. Presently, articles only exist for combinations from the year 2000 to current
:* day of the week (with or without other date elements). So Tuesday → Tuesday. Generally, do not link.--Tenebrae 22:00, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Reason for deleting wikidate overlinkage

message: :Image:Silent01.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Silent01.jpg

message: Re: Hama ostensibly joining the G.I. Joe movie.  First off, the citation incorrectly quotes the original source, which does NOT say he's a creative consultant, just that he's involved "in some capacity." Second, the original source doesn't say where it got that information. It doesn't cite a studio source, a production-company source, Hama, or anyone else. The original source is not a authoritative, established trade magazine such as Variety or The Hollywood Reporter, and given the unjournalistic vagueness of its "report," this is far below the threshold of a reliable source. Without some specific attribution, confirmation, this appears to be some website reporting a rumor. --Tenebrae (talk) 15:03, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A quick google for "larry hama creative consultant" yields a number of results - I also remember seeing it mentioned in one of the videos promoting the film itself. Did you do the same and determine that none of these sources are valid in your eyes? PermanentVacay (talk) 04:27, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Unconfirmed edit

message: I think the authors of this article should review the statement that Larry served in the Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) during the Vietnam War. Given that the USACE is a Federal (not military) agency, largely devoted to large scale infrastructure projects, I think the author is mistaken that Larry served with them in Vietnam. My bet is that the authors confused the USACE with the US Army Combat Engineers, which is a military Combat Arms branch. I recommend that the authors or editors, remove the "Army Corps of Engineers" statement from the article until Larry's appropriate unit and occupational specialty in the Army can be definitively verified.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Corto Waltese (talk • contribs) 01:41, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
