Talk:Espiritu Santo Naval Base

Sourcing and scope
User:Telecineguy, while I appreciate the effort you have made in creating this page, I have several concerns with it. First it seems to rely a lot on https://southpacificwwiimuseum.com which may or may not be a WP:RS. You need to properly cite all links to protect against link rot and you need to diversify the sourcing rather than just relying on sites that could disappear. Secondly you seem to have taken the view that all military installations on Santo were part of one large Naval base called Espiritu Santo Naval Base, what is the sourcing for this? I read through Building the Navy's Bases in World War II when I wrote the pages on the various airbases on Santo and I don't believe that there is any sourcing that supports the claim that all bases were part of one large U.S. Navy base. The first base on the island, Turtle Bay Airfield was first used by the USAAF. Accordingly I think you either need to limit this page down to the verified information regarding the U.S. Navy base or rename it to something like United States military bases on Espiritu Santo.

 * Thank you for the feedback.
 * Just added US Navy ref for name US Navy Web site Good point!
 * Good point about the airfields, but they were built by Seabees, not the Army. But, I can change this a little to reflex that the Army had major bases, there. Good point!
 * There are other refs other than southpacificwwiimuseum.com. But I can add more refs. OK point.
 * The auto-fill ref website is not working today, will try later.
 * A US Navy photo caption doesn't support the claim that all facilities were part of one large Naval base, just as the fact that the Seebees built the airfields doesn't make them Navy airfields. Mztourist (talk) 06:17, 28 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Agreed : Added Naval Advance Base Espiritu Santo or Espiritu Santo Naval Base, most often just called Espiritu Santo.Telecine Guy (talk) 07:05, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
