Air Force Squadrons
Welcome... Do you own the copyright to those works and are releasing them under the GFDL? Best, Tfine80 18:48, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello Tfine80. This info is public domain and is from the 1stfighter.org website. Go to the website to verify I am the webmaster. Thanks for your diligence in protecting the works of others! -Toesf15

I just made large inputs to the wikpedia topics: 27th fighter squadron, 71st fighter squadron, 94th fighter squadron, and 1st fighter group. The vast majority is from the 1stfighter.org website, of which I am the webmaster, and the rest is from my memory. This is all public domain information. Please "undo" whatever you did to lock out my inputs. Many thanks, Toesf15 20:51, 13 March 2006 (UTC)Toesf15

Your recent edits
I beg to differ. It's a personal site, and adds very little to the article as a link in itself. Why not add information from the site onto Wikipedia, instead of using Wikipedia as an advertising service for the website? HawkerTyphoon 18:53, 4 August 2006 (UTC)


 * You don't seem to be replying to my posts. Reply here or on my talk page with reasons as to why the link is not spam. I'm aware that you're the webmaster, in which case I'm very concerned that you might be using tWikipedia to advetrise your website. HawkerTyphoon 18:59, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure how to chat with folks on this forum - it doesn't seem user friendly. i just replied on something you wrote but don't know where it went. How bout a little OJT?

Have a look at WP:WELCOME for some helpful tips on how to edit and how to reply. To reply directly to me, [User_talk:HawkerTyphoon|go to my talk page, here.] I'm sorry if I seem a bit brusque (I don't know what OJT is), but I've made it my purpose on Wikipedia to remove vandalism and bad external links, as per Wikipedia's external links policy. Have a look at the policy, and if you can see a reason why the links should be included, put them back in. However, as a rule, if the information on the website canbe included on Wikipedia, it should be included in preference to any links being insterted. Thanks! HawkerTyphoon 19:06, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

To repeat what I replied a minute ago, the organization is a registered non-profit organization dedicated to passing information and photos to the world, with hundreds of contributers and members from WW2 to the present. Among the publicized goals (posted on the website): "- Provide a publicly accessible forum (website and newsletter) to preserve the 1st's historical records, photos, and stories, for families, friends, researchers and the global public" - This seems about as in line with the purpose of Wikpedia as one can get! But can the information on the site be included in Wikipedia? If it can be, it should be, and I'm concerned that your edits (viewable here) consist manly of adding links!

Citations needed tag
It's great that you're editing Iraq War and related article, but rather than outright deleting unsourced sentences, it's preferable to use the tag, which appears as  on the page. Once you've done that, wait a week and if no citation has been provided, delete away. --Bobblehead 20:16, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
