Presidents on submarines?
Re

If it wasn't Truman, who was the first president to dive on a submarine? It wasn't Carter, as I don't think he was serving by this time and of course he wasn't president yet. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:32, 25 February 2015 (UTC)


 * President Theodore Roosevelt was the first. He took a ride, including a submerged run, on board the USS Plunger (SS-2) on 23 August 1905. See the Wikipedia article on USS Plunger for further details. DaveyJ576 (talk) 16:05, 25 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Do you think the Truman claim is commonly-enough repeated to count as a misnomer that we should have a note about, correcting it?   Andy Dingley (talk) 16:20, 25 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes. I have seen this claim before. The original newspaper reporter simply failed to do the proper research. DaveyJ576 (talk) 16:24, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Submarine articles
Hello, I want to thank you for you input and feedback to RobDuch about updating the submarine articles. I looked at this diff and I can understand your frustration. There was no reason for that user to mass revert all of your edits. Each edit should be evaluated on it's own merit. This is also the reason I don't tend to do a large number of changes in one edit but tend to restrict edits to a single paragraph at a time. I think that if I have time, I may go through all the edits on that diff and see about re-adding some of them for you. That user's edit notes and userpage comments also fall close to the line of personal attacks and may warrant a warning template added to his user page. I will look into that also and get an admin involved if necessary. I also want to wish you good luck on your deployment.  Nyth 63  12:52, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
