Orphaned references in List of allied military operations of the Vietnam War (1966)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of allied military operations of the Vietnam War (1966)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "ReferenceA": From Operation Shed Light: From Individual Aircraft Records Cards Set, provided as part of information received 24 May 2007 pursuant to Freedom of Information Act request 49112, from the Air Force Historical Research Agency, United States Air Force, Maxwell AFB, AL From 18th Infantry Regiment (United States): Medal of Honor Recipients of WWII A-F From 28th Infantry Regiment (United States): U.S. Army Center of Military History - Vietnam Medal of Honor Recipients M-Z 

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 14:59, 21 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Operation Shed Light added. 18th Infantry Regiment (United States) - reference is to WWII events, not Vietnam. 28th Infantry Regiment (United States) - unable to determine if these were part of active operations and source is broken. Mztourist (talk) 02:50, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Can someone please correct Operation Dodge [not Operation Dodge City]. It is listed as starting on July 17. The USS Fiske DD 842 provided NGFS for Operation Dodge and the deck logs indicate this operation began on June 17, 1966. I would gladly provide a copy of said deck log entry on request. I have certified copies from NARA. Please feel free to contact me at wgd@vetsnet.us. [User: William G.

 * Have found a ref in Shulimson (p. 149) stating Operation Dodge was from 17-23 June and have corrected accordingly. Mztourist (talk) 14:46, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Operation Lincoln links to something entirely different; I'm unsure how to correct. Crowish (talk) 04:02, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Mid-2018
,, I have removed the references and claimed casualty numbers for Amarillo and Byrd because the webrefs now link to single advert pages. I have not removed all the links to Ref 2, but that also is a advert page now and will need to be fixed.

I have also reverted Mztourist's removal of "U.S. claim" in the casualty header at the top of the page. This is entirely accurate ; there are no claims on this page sourced from PAVN/Northern sources, and it provides needed context in view of the unreliability of many body counts. I'm sick of such accurate descriptions being removed for insufficient reasons; Mztourist, should you remove such an accurate description again - when all such sources are indeed U.S., rather than Northern/VC - you will be sanctioned.

 * As you should be well aware, I have raised this whole issue at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history and you should await the outcome of that RFC and ensure that A bicyclette stops making these changes until that RFC is finalized rather than threatening me with sanctions.Mztourist (talk) 10:02, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
 * In view of the fact that the clarification is useful and obvious, given that there are no Northern/PAVN etc sources listed, that U.S. claims were often unreliable, and that other editors at the RfC have endorsed the reasonable nature of annotating U.S. claims as U.S. when there are no other sources, I have elected to block you for three days.
