Talk:7th Infantry Division (United States)

Valencia on Leyte
Disambiguating: The section Leyte and Okinawa names Valencia on the road to toward Ormoc. Could someone verify that this is a fourth place 'Valencia' in Philippines, not being
 * Valencia, Bohol, Philippines
 * Valencia City, Bukidnon, Philippines
 * Valencia, Negros Oriental, Philippines

 * Confirmed. None of those towns are on Leyte. - Ed! (talk) 16:49, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Okinawa landings
The article states that the 7th and 96th divisions landed along with the 2nd and 6th Marine divisions. It is my understanding that the 2nd Marine division was in reserve and it was the 1st Marine division which made the landing.
 * The four divisions together made the landing, though no, they did not all land there at the same time. — Ed! (talk) 01:35, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, four divisions landed together, the 7th, 96th, 1st Marine, and 6th Marine; the 2nd Marine Division was not one of them. That was the issue.209.244.31.35 (talk) 21:37, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I see. It looks like you're right, I changed the article to clarify and correct for this. — Ed! (talk) 00:21, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Much appreciated.209.244.31.35 (talk) 03:17, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Missing Campaign Credit
Just a note that the official lineage and honors as credited by the US Army Center of Military History includes credit for participation in Just Cause in Panama, which would bring the total number of campaign streamers to 16. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.139.83.69 (talk) 12:17, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Removal and replacement of incomplete Rottman source
Over the last few days there have been a number of back-and-forth reverts, unusual on a relatively uncontroversial page like this, on the section on the late 1980s order of battle. This is at it's heart because the source cited was Gordon L. Rottmen, Inside the US Army Today, Osprey Publishing 1988 (sic: Rottman). Yet the data supposed to be supported by that showed detailed assignment of maneuver battalions to individual maneuver brigades. Rottman at page 31 gives a list of maneuver battalions, but does not actually say which of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Brigades they belong to. Now, after I disgracefully lost my temper several times - anyone interested can read the main WT:MILHIST talk page -, the user who was claiming Rottman gave this more detailed information which the book actually didn't, has written on the main Milhist talkpage that the actual source was a combination of U.S. Army Regulation 600-82 which has to be read in conjunction with a couple of works on the United States invasion of Panama so that those Panama sources give which battalions are assigned to which brigades. Yet I have rolled him back again. Why? Noclador has cited entire works or chapter-sized pieces: AR600-82 is 33 pages long. Wikipedia is written for generalists, rather than specialists, who may know the material better and be more easily able to identify where in any source the individual piece of data came from. This is part of the reason WP:PAGENUM specifically says "Specify the page number or range of page numbers". I will continue rolling this addition of data back until page numbers are cited.
