Talk:List of Delta Force members/Archive 1

Incorrect claims.
PLEASE verify the claims made herein. They are partly incorrect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.161.154.155 (talk) 10:33, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Makes no sense
"Selected by President Jimmy Carter (Jimmy Carter had nothing to do with the selection of Beckwith or the raising of Delta) to organize and form a highly specialized counter-terrorism unit, known today as Delta Force [1]."

What?

Formatting
I suggest formating a separate section for commanders sorted by chronological order. Comments? Rklawton (talk) 14:13, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Inclusion
I suggest limiting the list to people linked to reliable, verifiable sources that clearly indicate membership. A wikilink to the individual's article with sourced membership claims is likewise sufficient. Comments? Rklawton (talk) 14:13, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Unsourced, self-sourced, and badly-sourced claims removed
I cut all of the material that didn't have high-quality independent sources, which was more than half the list at the time of the edit. Please don't add material here without corroboration. Please do feel free to add new material or return people to the list who I cut out, if you have good sources. That means sources that are reputable, independent of the individual named, and specific as to the claim that a particular person was a member of Delta Force. Thanks. — Gavia immer (talk) 23:44, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Operation Acid Gambit
I've removed a list of names of operators who served in Operation Acid Gambit. None of these individuals, at present, and so far as I know, presently rate their own articles, and Wikipedia is not a list of all things sourced. Rklawton (talk) 18:49, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

last entry Mike vining
The link leads to Mike vining the basketball coach. It is not established that the tis the same person. Please correct the link or establish that Mike vining the coach is mike vining the delta force operator. 178.232.146.93 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 12:50, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

Your version + IP
- your version? Please fix.. Thanks – S. Rich (talk) 05:47, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Suggestion
The SEALs list has this note:

Let's do the same for the Deltas and USAF paras.

 * 1) I will again ask that you post comments pertaining to article issues on the article talk page, not mine.
 * 2) I don't see a problem with the suppressed notes at the list of SEALs or Deltas. The SEAL list does not have this ridiculous syntax that you have added here. As for the list of Paras, there is no supprsed note, but I don't watch/maintain that list, so perhaps it doesn't get the same amount of disruptive editing and needless changes by fly-by ip users, that the other lists do. That said, I do see that the Paras list could use some editing, but maybe later. -  wolf  15:25, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Better? The markup didn't and doen't have the <"nowiki"> tags that you've added here, so there was no difference on the page. But just the same I removed much of the markup. There's still no difference on the page, but there it is. -  wolf  15:59, 25 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Edit to prevent page disruption. - w o lf  04:56, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
