Regarding USCGC_Northwind_(WAGB-282)'s references

I have removed the list of references at the end since they weren't actually referencing anything in the article. If there is something that can be referenced by those sources, use them following the WP:CITE syntax. I have included the references I removed in the article's talk page for easy retrieval and convenience. ScottSteiner (talk) 11:05, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To cite things, you should read the article at WP:CITE. It's a great help. It'll show you how to cite http://www.uscg.mil/history/webcutters/Northwind1945.asp you would do something along the lines of

<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uscg.mil/history/webcutters/Northwind1945.asp|title=U.S. Coast Guard Cutter History|accessdate=2011-03-19}}</ref>

Which would produce: ^[1] after the fact you are citing the source for. You could then place that after relevant information which should be sourced. From looking at the website, you would do that for the builder/cost/yard number/other info provided (but just once, not for each set of data). ScottSteiner (talk) 11:49, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits of USCGC Fir (WLM-212)

Your recent edits of USCGC Fir (WLM-212) are appreciated. Regardless of how much I look at an article, I always miss something and your sharp eyes caught somethings I managed to overlook. A big Coast Guard welcome to Wikipedia from this retired chief petty officer. Cheers and have fun. Your contributions are valued. If you have questions, just ask.

Hi Chief, If I knew your were stopping by I would have baked you a pie. I happy to find out somebody is still alive. My refences to Fir as WLB were the result of confusion. I knew full well she was WLM. Confusion came from writing on Tupelo and Magnolia. I am very new at this. My only qualifications might be "Master of Assorted Facts" and "Sea Story Teller". I eyeballed your page and see we share many affinities...even I was once a high powered SP5. Thank you for your comments and invitation to ask questions IAW the finest CG traditions....."Hey Boats...how do we do this ? " "Hell...I dunno...let's ask the Chief". From the Ancient, Honourable and Mystical Polar Order of the Charlie Noble we send you greetings. Semper Paratus (CS1) Tjlynnjr (talk) 21:16, 9 April 2011 (UTC).[reply]

I do love a good sea story. And another 'Ancient order of the Spec 5' to boot. What are the odds on that one? No kidding, there are plenty of Coast Guard articles on here that could use some help. Many of the cutter articles are incomplete and need some references. Although I was in the Army in Vietnam, I'm attempting to get down the story of the Coast Guard in Vietnam little by little. As I said before, if you need help, contact me on my talk page and I'll see what I can do to teach you the ropes. Did I understand your rate right? Commissaryman? or did I miss something? Did you have time on an Ice Braker? All my CG time was ATON on river tenders...once you get stuck there it's hard to leave. Cheers... Cuprum17 (talk) 23:04, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We are a Coast Guard family since 1957, Chief. After WW II and Korean war service (FN to MM1) (USN) Dad was in Base Buffalo NY, CGC Winnebago, Base Sand Island Hono. TH, Magnolia, Base YBI SF CA, CGC Northwind, CGC Fir and CGC Tupelo MM1 to CWO3 (Eng). Yes.....I was a belly robber...otherwise I would not have been initiated into the mysteries of Charlie Noble...do not tell anyone though, since there are more conspiracy theories about it than the Illuminati. The Commissaryman rate went to MS to FS and back to CS ("Culinary Specialist")....very sophisitcated ;) No ice service, but I have eyeballed some breakers, and I know it's nice in the ice. Well, ATON is still hard work, Dad enjoyed it though. Please see my user page, click on the link to K7IWH. If you know any hams, especially Ancient Canoe Clubbers, tell them about my station. My primary army MOS was 94B3L. I will contact you on your talk page when I have a question. BTW Dad was Chief Engineer in Fir from 1969 to 1970. He also swore me into active duty in Seattle WA while Tupelo was in Todd Shipyards in 1971. Wishing you fair winds and following seas, TJ Tjlynnjr (talk) 23:58, 9 April 2011 (UTC).[reply]

My pleasure. I enjoy conspiracy theory fiction; I can't stand seeing it represented as fact. James Haughton (talk) 12:59, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
