John Williams
In regard to this edit to John Williams, if you see an error in the text of an article, please correct it rather than adding a comment in opposition to the existing text. We wouldn't want to have articles that say things like "She was born in 1965 [No she wasn't, she was born in 1962]." --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:08, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

I corrected an error. Mr Williams was not drafted. I only explained and corrected a incorrect statement so your readers would understand a simple truth about the 'draft'. My correction should remain. Hobnobable (talk) 04:20, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
 * You added a comment but you didn't remove the incorrect statement. After your edit, the sentence said, "In 1952, Williams was drafted [It is well documented that the USAF did not draft recruits but was one of an alternative choice of military service of men who faced being inducted into the Army]U.S. Air Force, where he played the piano, brass and conducted and arranged music for The U.S. Air Force Band as part of his assignments." So it still said that Williams was drafted, and then in brackets it said that the Air Force didn't draft recruits. The goal should be to correct the whole sentence so it is true and doesn't contradict itself. I personally do not know what the draft policies of the various services of the U.S. Armed Forces were in 1952, and I assume that you know more about that than I do. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:33, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
