 * My edits to SOT-A were done to remove the . Wikipedia articles are not forums for discussing changes or issues.  That is the function of the article talk pages.   not utilizing SOT-A teams to their best abilities does not belong in the article either as again, Wikipedia articles are not forums.


 * As for the issue if it is "Support" or "Special", page Glossary-23 of the two references used in the article list it as "Special". There was also a recent press release from the NSA honoring two SOT-A service members and the release lists it as "Special".  I did look up what you referenced, FM 34-36, Chapter 4, and there is indeed reference to "Support".  But unless my understanding is incorrect, the reference FM 3-05.102 as used in the article supersedes FM 34-36 (the previous link) as FM 3-05.102 has a later publication date.


 * I have left a message at WikiProject Military history asking for interested editors to review the article and resolve the issue. The editors at that WikiProject have an interest in all things military and can verify or correct the article.  The post I left is at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history.


 * You are welcome to change, update, or expand the article as much as you wish, but you should not re-add personal commentary about previous revisions of the article or the editors that made them. The article is poorly referenced, so if you can locate and cite additional references for the article, you are more than welcome to do so.  However, those references must be from reliable sources that are available for verification.  Unfortunately, your personal knowledge regarding the structure of the teams should not generally be used as a reference. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:07, 16 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Re your message: I see that you found the most recent FM and have updated the article. Thank you for that and I think that settles that particular issue.


 * As for the Capabilities section, that is indeed unsourced. The preferable fix would be to find the proper sources and correct the section.  I do realize that due to the nature of the teams, finding public sources may be difficult.  If sources can't be found and the section is completely wrong, then it can be deleted or completely rewritten.  As for deleting the entire article, that likely will not happen as the topic is notable and some article in some form or another should exist.  Do you have the time to research the necessary sources to cite the Capabilities section?  The sources don't have to be FMs.  The can be any reliable source: news articles, interviews, books, etc. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:30, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Support operations teams A (SOTAs) are ground-based SIGINT teams that perform electronic support and are organic to the battalion military intelligence detachment. The SOTA mission is to monitor the electromagnetic spectrum in an SO environment to perform SR and to support force protection. This intercept and direction-finding capability gives the ARSOF commander a SIGINT collection asset that is directly responsive to his needs in understanding the operational environment.

Conflict of interest?
Hello, Rwunderlich. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article SOT-A, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  21:48, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Mike, thank you for your comments. I do, in fact, go about making the correction improperly.

Most of the page is not cited and is, in fact, created from the author's imagination. I should have requested the page be deleted due to lack of citation instead of correcting the page based on personal experience.

It is offensive to see false information about my profession on Wikipedia, especially since I use it frequently for reference.

Thanks again.174.228.199.49 (talk) 22:37, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Just want a little quality control Mike:
