Operation Eagle Pull
What is the reference for your addition to the Operation Eagle Pull page? It doesn't feature in the official USMC account of the evacuation. I am tagging it citation needed and will delete it in one month unless you provide a verifiable citation. regards Mztourist (talk) 06:22, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * You wrote "I am the pilot of that third aircraft mentioned from HMH-463 who extracted the 88 Cambodians and other foreign nationals. Dunham, although he did a good job, did not get a lot of things right in his book. You can list the citation as a "statement from the pilot of the third aircraft into the LZ from HMH-463". I know this puts all the other figures in question about the totals of evacuees and how many each squadron evacuated. I just thought it was time to correct the erroneous record." Unfortunately that would contravene the policy No original research, so if there is no reliable published source for the information, it doesn't belong on the Wiki page. You're welcome to add it to the Operation Eagle Pull Talk page. regards Mztourist (talk) 03:34, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
 * You wrote "So a book written fifteen years after Eagle Pull that contains false information and which also is a possible political publication can not be corrected unless some else writes another book 35 years after the event with the correct information on Wikipedia? This is not original research. It is a fact stated by an actual participant in Eagle Pull. I don't think Wikipedia is all about publishing known false information. You relied heavily on Dunham for your article on Eagle Pull but he got this wrong. I have a photo of my HMH-463 aircraft sitting in LZ Hotel taken by combat photographer Gunnery Sgt. Donnie Shearer that he gave me that when enlarged clearly shows evacuees with suit cases awaiting departure but according to Dunham those people that were saved that day by me didn't exist? Baloney." I'm sorry that you're unhappy with the No original research policy, but incorporating your information without a reliable published source would breach that policy. The Verifiability policy states that the threshold for inclusion on Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. Your photo on LZ Hotel is not acceptable proof unless published and with a clear statement as to exactly when it was taken during the evacuation. Mztourist (talk) 02:30, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
