Historical Context - research needed

The regiment fought in the Spanish–American War and Philippine–American War. Thanks Juniperlsimonis for adding these wikilinks. Jaredscribe (talk) 02:07, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

From the monumental inscription "First in the Phillipines" and "First in Guam", we can infer that the regiment was active in the Battle_of_Manila_Bay, and the Capture_of_Guam.Jaredscribe (talk) 02:07, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Any further research into this regiments actions and whereabouts during these conflicts will be appreciated.Jaredscribe (talk)

Alternate titles

Is it worth noting all of the alternative titles, such as "Soldiers Monument", "Soldiers' Monument" and "Solder's Monument"? I believe all titles have been used in reliable sources. ----Another Believer _(Talk) 18:15, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Content Disputes

Improvements to the Article that have been reverted by @Another Believer without explanation

- It is erected to "the dead" of the regiment, not to the living, or to the regiment itself. This is clearly stated on the pedestal itself and can be seen from the photo. Please stop reverting my edits and restore or else explain your reason. Reverting a clear improvement without explaining reason is against WP guidelines and culture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BOLD,_revert,_discuss_cycle

- also there are two broken links that I removed, [3] to the racc.org and [5] to the publicart.org. Why did you restore broken links? Explain your reason or else stand down when I restore my improvement.

- Why do you object my adding "First in Guam", "First in the Phillipines", since this also is clearly stated on the pedestal?

- Adding link to the Promised Land (sculpture) is relevant because they both exist on the Plaza Blocks, and as does(did) the Elk statue. Jaredscribe (talk) 04:16, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Another Believer: Pinging editor mentioned above. DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 06:50, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your changes are generally unsourced and not constructive. Source for the inscription? Reason for removing sources instead of flagging as dead? The See also section should not have links which are displayed in navigation templates. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 13:31, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jaredscribe: DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 18:21, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Another Believer, a public monument, so placed that the public has access and can read any inscriptions on it, is, so to speak, published, and serves as an implicit source for the inscriptions, just as a novel or film is a source for its own plot, adn a separate source is not essential. DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 18:26, 15 August 2020 (UTC) @Another Believer: DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 18:28, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you DESiegel for this sage counsel. The disruptive editor in question here, Another Believer, should also be referred to WP:Reliable Sources and warned against WP:PETTIFOGG
