Raymond J. Bowman
Hi,. Thanks so much for all your work helping create and improving Raymond J. Bowman. Your edits have been awesome! Keep up the good work.

The only suggestions I have at this point relate to references:


 * there are templates, for example Template:Cite web, Template:Cite book, and Template:Cite news. You can copy and paste them, which makes them pretty easy to use and improves the article's references section.
 * Also you can use named references. I noticed you added a couple URL references that were already cited. The first time it's used, you do  and then other places, you can call   to cite the same source.

I look forward to working with you more. - Paul2520 (talk) 13:52, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Minor and otherwise edits
Looking at your contribution history, I see that you almost always mark your edits as minor. I'm afraid that on many, if not most of these, you should've left the minor-edit box unchecked.

The sort of edits that should be marked as minor are those with which no reasonable editor could possibly disagree: corrections of obvious spelling or formatting errors and the like. Any edit that adds, removes, or changes content should not be marked thus. In particular, edits like this one, which added numbers to an article, or this one, which added a large chunk of content, should definitely not be marked as minor.

It does no harm at all to leave the minor-edit box unchecked when your edit is minor. However, marking an edit as minor when it isn't could cause problems. Some editors have their watchlists configured so that they exclude minor edits; and to such an editor, an edit mismarked as minor might look like an attempt to sneak a controversial edit by under the radar. To avoid such misunderstandings, I'd recommend ignoring the minor-edit box; but if you're going to use it, you ought to look through WP:MINOR to see when it's appropriate and when it isn't.

Omaha Mavericks baseball-softball complex moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Omaha Mavericks baseball-softball complex, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?)

Camp Blanding
I reverted your edit expanding "Camp Foster" to "Camp J. Clifford R. Foster" because the existing cited sources do not support the long name. In any case, I feel that the long name would be excessive for a minor detail in the article. Even when Camp Foster was in use by the state, I doubt that it was commonly called anything other than "Camp Foster". - Donald Albury 12:37, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Correction to previous election announcement
Just a quick correction to the prior message about the 2022 MILHIST coordinator election! I didn't proofread the message well enough and left out a link to the election page itself in this message. The voting will occur here; sorry about the need for a second message and the inadvertent omission from the prior one. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:42, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Copying public domain material requires attribution
In the future, please add attribution when copying from public domain sources: simply add the template after your citation. I have done so for two of your drafts. Please do this in the future so that our readers will be aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself, and that it's okay to copy verbatim. Thanks, — Diannaa (talk) 13:46, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Copying/moving content within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from 172nd Infantry Regiment (United States, 1982-present) into Draft:172nd Cavalry Regiment (United States, 1861-present). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:40, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Draft:109th Cavalry Regiment (United States). You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Plagiarism, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:59, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

You did it again on 88th Infantry Division (United States). In the future, please add attribution when copying from public domain sources: simply add the template after your citation. I have done so for the above article. Please do this in the future so that our readers will be aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself, and that it's okay to copy verbatim.Also please note the url https://usacac.army.mil/cac2/cgsc/carl/download/csipubs/OrderOfBattle/OrderofBattle1.pdf is a dead link. Please don't use that as a citation any more. The document is now at https://www.armyupress.army.mil/Portals/7/combat-studies-institute/csi-books/OrderofBattle1.pdf. — Diannaa (talk) 12:41, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
