MacArthur
Please stop. Your edits constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Douglas MacArthur, you will be blocked from editing. Trekphiler (talk) 3 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Take a look at the edit summary & tell me it's clear. Trekphiler (talk) 23:13, 26 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Just like that. Or did you forget how steamed you were? If so, check your "contributions". It'll remind you. Trekphiler (talk) 23:35, 26 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I withdraw the accusation, & feel free to delete. I just wish the edits were clearer, 'cause it's looked like I was guilty, at times, too, & I still couldn't tell for sure... Trekphiler (talk) 00:19, 27 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I should have probably looked more carefully, too. I do wish the summaries were clearer... If you haven't already, put the page on your Watchlist (goto Douglas MacArthur, click "watch page", then click "older edit" til you get to 3 Jan, & you'll see what I saw, & get an idea how hard it can be to tell.) In future, I'll double check. Hope I haven't put you off too much. Trekphiler (talk) 00:42, 27 January 2008 (UTC) P.S. If you're posting, sign your name ~ (it brings up your address automatically, or username, time, & date; gives name only,  time only) Just a touch of etiquette. And if you sign up for an account (goto Main Page & look), you won't always be showing your IP address. Ciao. 00:42, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Your John von Neumann edits
Please check out my message on that article's talk page. Cheers, Robert K S (talk) 21:51, 10 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi. Articles are meant to have lowercase for sections in that way. Also, please take the time to employ edit summaries. Thanks. El_C 03:18, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 00:17, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Main problem is that no source was provided for that. Squash Racket (talk) 16:22, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Main Page appearance: Douglas MacArthur
This is a note to let the main editors of Douglas MacArthur know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on January 26, 2014. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask. You can view the TFA blurb at Today's featured article/January 26, 2014. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964) was an American general who played a prominent role in the Pacific theater during World War II. He received the Medal of Honor, as did his father, was one of only five men to rise to the rank of General of the Army in the U.S. Army, and the only man to become a field marshal in the Philippine Army. After graduating first in his West Point class in 1903, he participated in the 1914 occupation of Veracruz and served on the Western Front during World War I, becoming the U.S. Army's youngest major general. Thereafter he held a variety of posts, including Superintendent of West Point and Chief of Staff. He retired in 1937, but was recalled to active duty during World War II. After the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, he escaped with his family and staff to Australia, where he became Supreme Commander, Southwest Pacific Area. He fulfilled a famous pledge to return to the Philippines, and officially accepted Japan's surrender on 2 September 1945. He oversaw the occupation of Japan from 1945 to 1951, implementing many reforms, and led the United Nations Command in the Korean War until President Harry Truman had him relieved of his commands in April 1951.
