A belated welcome!
Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, COLONEL77. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
 * Introduction
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * How to write a great article
 * Editor's index to Wikipedia

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on, consult Questions, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! Webclient101 talk 16:49, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Manual of Style
Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Tony Conigliaro‎, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 16:40, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Robert T. Clark, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Distinguished Service Medal. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Minor edits
Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Trut-h-urts man (T • C) 17:40, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:00, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Just wanted to say thank you to COLONEL77 for his edits and continuing interest in a great American, LTC Mucci. It's so important that those who served in WWII, Tom Brokaw's "greatest generation" be remembered. Hawkeye1968 (talk) 20:04, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello COLONEL77, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Herb Raglan have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Translation. See also Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.  Vermont &#124; reply here  23:14, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Your addition to Brent R. Taylor has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Copying text from other sources for more information. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:40, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Benjamin Orr. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason.  Please read WP:BANDNAME which specifies lower case 'the' in running prose for band names.

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello COLONEL77, and welcome to Wikipedia.

Warning
I just saw your Facebook-worthy meltdown on Larry Hockett's talk page. Not cool. There are problems with the edits that you are making, so instead of throwing a tantrum and whining about perceived insults, you should try doing a better job. At any rate, I will not permit you to continue yelling at Larry, so consider this your last warning. L EPRICAVARK (talk ) 16:45, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

COLONEL77 (talk) 22:48, 23 February 2020 (UTC) Lepricavark - Sir - Are you not even going to ever respond to WikiLove response inquiry sent back to you right after your above send as it has been more than 24 hours - ??? - What exactly do you mean by insultingly say a " Facebook-worthy meltdown " - ??? -Am not ever on FB other than to check the very few things yearly where people send best wishes / birthdays / condolences / etc. - ??? - What is wrong with this Larry Hockett person where he has to have you butt in for him like a crying little baby over all of these wrongly perceived silly ' problems he has with me - NOT APPRECIATED !!! - ??? - Why are you even seeing what is actually only being sent back to him in the first place as have never heard of or addressed anything to you before - ??? - Is this standard Wikipedia policy to do such - ??? - If so that also needs to be dealt with - Next, no one is ' THROWING A TANTRUM ' /' WHINING ' - This is exactly the sort of thing I and so many others have been talking about with you not at all with it Wikipedia ' editing ' people who will not decently answer any questions, always threatening as you have meanly done above, will not respond to ' real ' email nor provide any proper real Wikipedia email address(es) to send inquiries / complaints to, nor give a Wikipedia phone number to call in order to go through these so called ' problems ' like real educated gentlemen should - ??? - This is what so many say about Wikipedia that you are all in your little world doing this sort of very poor 'editing ' of mainly areas you appear to know nothing at all about and not treating people properly / fairly / decently - If you have time to send out what you did in your most insulting response above then you should have at least some time daily / weekly / monthly to do some ' real ' work to correct and amend the, literally, thousands of things found by many of us out there who try to help out Wikipedia with, such as missing letters in words / missing words / wrong words / wrong dates / wrong facts / incomplete areas / etc. - Is none of this at all appreciated - ??? - Certainly appears that way on the face of it - Something to think about, right - ??? - Therefore as it appears as if none of you types wish to be in contact to discuss these matters in a manner to which should be expected so be it although all of this is on you as have been trying to only speak to someone / anyone over all of this - Personally, I only joined because I saw, and still see, so many areas almost ever time on Wikipedia which needed attending to although never expected to be attacked in this manner over doing something for Wikipedia ' FREE !!!

Thank You - Expected this - That's it -

Am done with all of you so insultingly awful people as have only ever asked nicely to be heard, however to have so many of you all ' chirp ' so dumbly like this is way beyond absolutely disgraceful.

Am so terribly sorry I spoiled your little time wasting play toy.

You do not deserve anyone like me and I, at my advanced years, most certainly do not need any of you terribly unintelligent ignorant types.

None of you apparently went to the trouble to ever think to delve into fact the entire JACK DENNETT page I entered so many proper changes / additions to was originally from my radio obituary and a fuller written printed piece for funeral, written years ago ( 1975 ), way before Wikipedia even began and was not any kind of joint effort as your idiotic emoji fool claimed.

Would not expect any of you were even born before 1975 !!!

The other time was when working 24 / 7 on television news and my lady felt it best to respond to provide an answer within hours not knowing you people would then become all bent out of shape in such a silly ass manner, seemingly something you people could not understand even when explained to.

You all need to lighten up, actually you all need to smarten up.

Everyone knows you are doing this as ' volunteers ', BIG DEAL !!!

There is no way anyone with a working brain would pay any of you for any of this !!!

Reading your collective rubbish biographical entries all would see you wipe down cars with a sandy rag !!!

I am one of very few ever entering anything on Wikipedia who actually knows many if not all the sports figures and military personages have done up entries for, many with approval and thanks of families for making their entries read better with fuller material, having been on television / radio from age of 10 to now just short of 73.

Who of you served in the military, who of you actually played any sports, who of you actually has ever been on television/ radio for 60+ years ???

Likely NONE !!!

So, go right ahead, block FOREVER, no problem, although Wikipedia are the end losers in all of this.

Be very sure to tell your Wikipedia ' bosses ' and show them the entire file as would not feel they would be at all pleased in seeing good people tossed away like garbage in this manner.

No thanks ever from any one of you so smart types who seem afraid to respond to inquiries in a proper / intelligent manner or to provide a Wikipedia person to talk with, a Wikipedia phone number to call, a real Wikipedia email address, as asked for a number of times, for these thousands of additions / corrections, by count of over 8,000 individual letters / words / sentences / whole paragraphs / corrections / etc., which is not needed but one would think some of you would realize something is wrong in almost all of this.

Will not ever darken your door again.

I have revoked your talk page access for violating the policy No legal threats. If you want to be unblocked, please follow the process described at Unblock Ticket Request System. I notice that you are belittling other editors based on your presumption that they are young.

You are not alone in being an old bloke here, nor an expert in your field. But you are alone in your unreasonable view of how this amazing encyclopaedia functions, and your foolish dismissal of anyone younger than you. I clearly misjudged your ability to contribute in a collaborative manner, and now there is no place for you here. Thank you for your past contributions.
