Vietnam Service Medal
I changed one thing on your latest edits. The Manual of Style says that headers only capitalize the first word of a section header unless a proper noun is in the header, in which case it is capitalized. Otherwise, your edits have cleaned up my original table and you have included information that wasn't originally in the article. Good job; keep up the good work.

 * Re: your reversion of my date edit reversion. It is not my intent to edit war on this...please see the top line of markup code where it says "Use dmy dates|date=January 2013" You have helped on this article before and that is appreciated, however your edits provide an inconsistency in the display of dates. Most articles associated with the Milhist Project use dmy formatting, including this one. We need to resolve this. Cuprum17 (talk) 21:45, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Reversions
I have reverted your reversion at Charles Bronson and will soon revert your reversion at Purple Heart. There is no cited source to prove Bronson received a Purple Heart or any other military award. It would appear then that IP you reverted was, in fact, correct. If you have a reliable source to support the claim, please provide it. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 01:18, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

If you would have taken the time to look you would have found the corrected citation — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mphsmeister (talk • contribs)
 * I chose my words carefully; I specified using a 'reliable source'. I don't think Military.com is a reliable source.  I would guess that website is parroting promotional materials.  It is entirely possible that Bronson did earn a Purple Heart in WWII but we have a responsibility to accurately source that information.  Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 04:17, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

oftentimes
Hi Mphsmeister,

I didn't change oftentimes because the spelling is incorrect, but because the wikipedia style guide suggests it's a dialectal word. See Use_modern_language.

Either way, I've added it to the bot's exception list, so it won't get changed again unless you want to yourself. Cheers, CmdrObot (talk) 23:45, 19 March 2014 (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.
