Naval Aviation Squadrons
Thanks for your work on updating the references for these. I originated a lot of them, with good references at the time, but then DANAS changed its setup and all the references went bad. I just didn't have the time or motivation to go back in and fix them, hoping that some heroic soul would take on that challenge. Good work! Or as they say in the Navy, Bravo Zulu. BTW, a list of the squadron articles I created is at User:Lou_Sander/Aircraft_Squadrons. Maybe it can be useful to you. Lou Sander (talk) 23:22, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

The DYK hook game
Hello, Finktron,

Writing the hook for a DYK is a bit of a parlor trick. It can be fun, testing your ingenuity. The aim is to draw the reader in with a statement that hooks the reader's interest; the constraints are, you can't invent anything. It may take some rewriting sometimes.

Grab the most interesting factoid you can find about the subject. Embody it in a single sentence. Add the relevant cite immediately after the sentence. I find it works best if that sentence is the final one in a paragraph, so you may want to shuffle sentence order in the para in question to situate your factoid in front of the cite.

In the present case, a reviewer may ask you to point out "landlocked" in your sources--or they may not. They may ask why the cite in the lead, as such is used in the lead only in cases of controversy. Personally, I find this lead not particularly interesting, though not to the point of objecting.

However, to me the most interesting thing about Harris is that he shot down four enemy planes on four different occasions. You may want to try that for a hook.

To summarize: 1. Put your hook(s) in a single sentence each. 2. Make it/them the most interesting fact(s) in the article. 3. Let the cite follow naturally after the hook. 4. It is perfectly fair to mislead your reader, but not to cheat them with made-up or irrelevant facts.

Have fun!Georgejdorner (talk) 17:44, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Cecil E. Harris
Hi-I found a citation about a statue in honor of Cecil E. Harris on the Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota. However, the word in the section about his education was confusing because the article had Northern State Teachers College which was of the initial names for Northern Michigan University. Confusing and not clear. My apologies for any problems. Hopeful, the citation about the state of Cecil E. Harris at Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota is helpful. Thank you-RFD (talk) 18:14, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I appreciate that your edits were in good faith. I'm going to nix them just because I already have citations to his NSTC attendance after the next sentence, and an article about the statue on NSU campus already exists in the web cites for this article (cite [89] under Recognition section). Best, Finktron (talk) 04:10, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Thanks! I moved it already, actually. Just lacking cites on those two paragraphs from the Cook book, but I'll try to snag page numbers next time I am at the library. I see the Talk page isn't actually made yet, though. It's still deleted from the PROD. Do you know how to reconstitute it, and if so how to add the article rating etc.? Thanks!

Formosa Air Battle
Hello, Finktron – I have completed the copy-edit you requested at WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests. I enjoyed reading the article; it was quite well written. Please let me know if you have any questions. I have a few questions on minor issues:

1) A few times, I changed a number such as "10" to the word for the number, "ten". I usually do that for numbers of one or two digits (except in a science or math article). However, I stopped changing the number to the word about half-way through the article, particularly for number of enemy planes shot down. I thought I'd ask you first what you thought.

2) I added "the" before a ship's name ("the Houston) when it was missing, but not when it said "USSHouston".

3) I made dashes consistent – all spaced en-dashes. You had some en-dashes and some em-dashes.

4) In the first paragraph in Formosa Air Battle you introduce the Sho plan. In the third paragraph of that section you discuss Sho1 and Sho2. The first mentions of those are un-hyphenated, and I added a no-break space between Sho and the number so it wouldn't break between them at the end of a line (the number will stay with the word). Then, at the end of that paragraph, you have "Sho-2", with a hyphen between Sho and "2". I left it as it was, but I have to ask you which you prefer: hyphenated or un-hyphenated. These should be consistent.

5) I'm going to copy the second paragraph of Formosa Air Battle here for ease of reference, highlighting a phrase in bold:

By 10 October Toyoda's tour of the front was complete. He intended to depart from Formosa for Japan that same day but was forced to change his plans. Surprise U.S. carrier strikes against the Ryukyu Islands cut off Toyoda's flight path home, grounding the admiral far from Combined Fleet headquarters at a decisive moment. Out of position and with inadequate lines of communication, the response to such overwhelming enemy air power was left to Toyoda's Chief of Staff, Admiral Ryūnosuke Kusaka.

I paused at the phrase "such overwhelming enemy air power". All I could see in the preceding sentences that could remotely be seen as "overwhelming air power" was "Surprise U.S. carrier strikes against the Ryukyu Islands". I don't see any indication that anything was overwhelming. I think you either need to provide details as to how the U.S. air power was overwhelming or change "the response to such overwhelming enemy air power" to "the response to these attacks (or strikes)".

6) I see you have used "U.S." as the abbreviation for "United States" throughout the article. I don't know if this abbreviation is standard throughout Wikipedia's military history articles, but generally, in most articles, the abbreviation is written without the periods/full stops: "US". If you're not sure, you might consult AustralianRupert.

7) I found most of the article quite well written and clear (and I know little about either World WarII or air battles). In the third paragraph of the Formosa Air Battle, however, you lost me. I had to read it several times to figure out what this was about. I think it might help to add the adjective "Japanese" before "634th Naval Air Group" so the reader knows which side this is about. Those familiar with the names of battle groups and units will probably know that this was a Japanese air group, but the average Wikipedia reader might not. It might help, also, to give an indication of when the events in the second and third paragraphs happened. I know the third paragraph contains the phrase, "By January 1945", but the second and third paragraphs seem kind of lost in space and time when compared with all the other paragraphs. Adding to that impression are two phrases that mystify me: "Freshly constituted carrier units" and "land-based air power". For the non-expert, these don't mean much. (When I read "freshly constituted", I think of orange juice reconstituted from a frozen state, and I wonder how air power can be land-based.) Well, that's all. – Corinne (talk) 02:46, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

– Corinne (talk) 02:51, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

8) One more thing: when you want to use the initials of (or some kind of abbreviation for) an organization, agency, unit, etc., you're supposed to give the initials or abbreviation in parentheses after the first mention of the organization, agency, unit, etc. I don't see that for "TG" or "TF". I know that "TG" follows shortly upon the heels of several instances of "Task Group + number", so readers will probably figure it out. AustralianRupert can advise as to whether it is necessary to put "TG" in parentheses after the first mention of "Task Group", and, if so, where to put it; I thought it would look odd placed between "Task Group" and a number, so, if you do add it, I think it would have to be after the number. Also, check to be sure you have done that for all the other acronyms (mostly Japanese command groups). – Corinne (talk) 03:13, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
