Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to United States Army Rangers did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at 75th Infantry Regiment (Ranger), without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

Disambiguation link notification for February 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Grand Lodge of Texas, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Charles S. Taylor. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 06:06, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ref styling in United States Army Rangers

Hi, I just wanted to remind you we have a Manual of Style in the Wikipedia, and I'm pretty sure we don't allow resizing (shrinking) of references in the article space. MOS:SMALLFONT seems to cover this. Stefen Tower_{s among the rest!} ^{Gab • Gruntwerk} 16:42, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's a table. I need space on the table. Rover9164 (talk) 16:53, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe the table is overly packed if an already small reference tag is causing a space issue. Really, I've never seen anyone shrink these. We need to think about the readers and their ability to see them. Not everyone has 20-20 vision. Stefen Tower_{s among the rest!} ^{Gab • Gruntwerk} 19:30, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

March 2024

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Texas special operations units, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources.
Note: this also applies to the identical edit you made to Long-range penetration. Please read the Special mission unit article carefully, you'll note which units are listed there so far, and why. It has to with sourcing, (like all content on WP). Thank you - wolf 10:34, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

May 2024

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to United States Army Rangers. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 15:01, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In particular, unsourced original research and commentary on whether an organization is "tab elitist" is inappropriate for inclusion in the article. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 15:02, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at United States Army Rangers, you may be blocked from editing. Do not continue to insert unsourced, non-neutral language into the article. Accusations of "tab elitism" are inappropriate content for Wikipedia. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 16:04, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In particular, do not continue to reinsert this language in particular: "However, the US Army Ranger Association (USARA) is a tab elitist organization instead of a ranger unit organization," as well as accusing them of "wrongly using The Institute of Heraldry (an Army insignia and symbolism authority) instead of Official DA Organizational Authority (OA) letters" (which constitutes WP:SYNTH); and "somehow only recognizes...". This is all inappropriate editorializing violating Wikipedia's policies requiring a neutral point of view, as well as being unsupported by direct claims from a reliable source. This is not the place for you to fight your personal battles against the USARA. Additionally, in your edits, you removed the direct link to one of the references and replaced it with a direct link to the archive dot org link; this is unhelpful as we already include the archive link, and this edit took away context for readers about where the source was originally located (by removing the website's name). Finally the portion about "stripping the ranger designation" was unsourced, and the language inflammatory; we can include the information if it's properly sourced, but it needs to be in more neutral language that correlates with that in use by a reliable source. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 16:12, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Got it. Fixed it. I will not omit the USARAs use of The Institute of Heraldary (TIOH) in place of the Center of Military History (CMH). The TIOH is a symbolism and regalia authority not lineage. My citations have official DA records showing they are all ranger companies, yet somehow the USARA only includes d/151 and D/65 without any explanation for reasoning other than claiming their bylaws use the TIOH. Neither of the two units have heraldic affiliation with the 75th regiment either, but all 8 companies did have ranger TOE and I posted proof through the archive.org citations. I will not delete my citations. They need to be known. Rover9164 (talk) 16:46, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are wrong. You have an agenda. Rover9164 (talk) 16:49, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
