I Corps (United States)

Just wanting to check about this diff, in which you reference that the corps has no permanently assigned divisions. Was there a reason you did not remove the 2nd and 25th Infantry Divisions, listed as belonging to the corps, immediately below? Buckshot06 (talk) 08:15, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I understand it, the Corps has no official administrative control of divisions, as they are shifed under the command of FORSCOM. However, as the divisions are based in the Corps' AO, I think it still supports them. So, I though specifying that they are not "permenant" but do fall under its control sent the right message. —Ed!^(talk) 09:19, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Vectorization of 7th Infantry Division (United States)

Hi there, I've vectorized the file you posted on the Graphic Lab. Please check here for more information. Thanks! Mononomic (talk) 00:03, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help! It looks great. —Ed!^(talk) 02:41, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Generally regarding 7 Division, I added 2c comments. Sorry about the delays. They're fiddle. Fifelfoo (talk) 01:30, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Broken redirect

You recently created the page 9th Regional Support Command as a redirect to itself. After reading the related articles, I guessed that the best target might be 9th Mission Support Command, but you may know better. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 21:51, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that must have been an accident. Thank you for correcting it. —Ed!^(talk) 22:05, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Resources you might be interested

Hey, Ed, looks like you started to improve Korean War articles one by one now, glad to see I'm not the only one that is interested in the forgotten war.

Now, I commented on your blog about lack of resources on the other side...since I do most of Korean War research on the other side, I'll share few of my resources here.

Roe, Patrick C. (May 4, 2000). The Dragon Strikes. Novato, CA: Presidio. ISBN 0891417036...written by a former Marine fought at Chosin, an extremely good source if you want to know how the top Chinese leaderships and generals think during the Korean War.
Shrader, Charles R. (1995). Communist Logistics in the Korean War. Westport, CT: Greenwood Press. ISBN 0-313-29509-3...tons of North Korean and Chinese battles are lost due to their supply problems, this book will give you insight on most of the behind the scene tactical decisions on the Communist side.
Spurr, Russell (1988). Enter the Dragon: China's Undeclared War Against the U.S. in Korea 1950-51. New York, NY: Newmarket Press. ISBN 1-557-04008-7...collection of stories from Chinese soldiers, officers and top leaders that were involved in Korea.
Mahoney, Kevin (2001). Formidable enemies : the North Korean and Chinese Soldier in the Korean War. Novato, CA: Presidio Press. ISBN 9780891417385...tons of background info on how North Korean and Chinese army operates during the Korean War
Chae, Han Kook; Chung, Suk Kyun; Yang, Yong Cho (2001). Yang, Hee Wan; Lim, Won Hyok; Sims, Thomas Lee; Sims, Laura Marie; Kim, Chong Gu; Millett, Allan R. (eds.). The Korean War. Vol. Volume I, II, III. Lincoln, NE: University of Nebraska Press. ISBN 9780803277953. {{cite book}}: |volume= has extra text (help)..official book from the South Korean Department of Defence, translated into English
Ryan, Mark A.; Finkelstein, David M.; McDevitt, Michael A. (2003). Chinese warfighting: The PLA experience since 1949. Armonk, New York: M.E. Sharpe. ISBN 0765610876...contains two chapters that explains the Chinese command and control system and battlefield tactics during the Korean War, very insightful.
Zhang, Hong (2002). The making of urban Chinese images of the United States, 1945-1953. Westport, CT: Greenwood Press. ISBN 0313310017...useful backgrounds on Sino-US relations from 1900s to 1960s should you require.

I also have some high quality Chinese documents should you require something more detailed, like unit formations, tactical movements etc. Anyway, keep up the good work :) Jim101 (talk) 04:29, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! I will be looking for some of these sources as I continue work on Korean War-related articles over the next month. I look forward to working with you more on the Korean War. —Ed!^(talk) 22:24, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, one more book, it's the bible on Chinese forces that fought in Korea...too bad I never managed to get my hand on this book. Jim101 (talk) 02:49, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Chosin

Go ahead with the GAN...I'm not good with bureaucracy and I currently on a wiki break since it is exam season for me. Thanks for the copy editing though, that thing is a pain in my ass ever since day one. Jim101 (talk) 02:09, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Most battles probably not known to other nations

Well, I've been organizing the battle in the order as it occured historically. I also lack many info to build up every articles. However, I did some research and created things such as Battle of Ongjin page, and I'm willing to do so for other battles as well. Kadrun (talk) 23:12, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All right. I think I'll just add the battles I know about alongside those, just to be safe. —Ed!^(talk) 17:34, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FAC Nom

Renominate immediately, that was just stupid. Staxringold _talk^contribs 07:07, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Should I conduct the copy-edit first? The No-consensus nonsense was done on the principle that the one user decided to oppose the FAC at the last minute. —Ed!^(talk) 17:56, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Triangle Hill GAN and POV concern

Hi Ed, you seem to have substantial knowledge on Operation Showdown since you wrote the unit history for US IX Corps and US 7th Infantry Division, can you take a look at the article to see if the subject is covered fairly for both sides? Given that I am Chinese and the topic is a hot button topic for Chinese nationalism, I really need someone else to check POV.

Also, I submitted the article for GAN. Since this is the first time I go through the GAN process, I could use someone to guide me through the steps and procedures. Jim101 (talk) 01:03, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be glad to help with the GAN any way I can. Thank you for letting me know! —Ed!^(talk) 16:18, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it had already became a GA article (didn't expect it so soon)...my invitation for POV check still stands. Jim101 (talk) 05:47, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

82nd Airborne Division (United States) World War One shoulder patch

Thanks for working on the WWI section of 82nd Airborne Division (United States). I'd like to hear another researched opinion about the Talk conversation found at ...Shoulder Sleeve Insignia. A WWII-and-beyond patch is used to demonstrate the WWI patch, and I and another reader/editor are not convinced it is an accurate representation of the WWI patch. —Aladdin Sane (talk) 21:13, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

173rd Airborne

ARe you still looking for FA one day? I dound a book about the 173rd in VN YellowMonkey (bananabucket) 03:29, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I am looking to do that. Unfortunately I do not have resources of this type on my end to promote the article further... —Ed!^(talk) 06:45, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

wp:GTC

you may want to nominate 7th Infantry Division (United States). Nergaal (talk) 05:32, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have tried before. But as evidenced here, the arguement seems to be that all of the division's WWII and Korean War regiments need to be GAs, which they are not. —Ed!^(talk) 06:46, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

7th Infantry Division (United States) Copy-edit

Regarding the above request, normally I'd be happy to provide a copyedit, but unfortunately this month is a very, very busy time at work and I cannot guarantee that I will have the time. If I can help I will, but please don't rely on me for this. As for other copyeditors, there are none better than EyeSerene.--Jackyd101 (talk) 07:02, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd love to help but, like Jacky, I'm really busy at work at the moment (and I've got two pending copyedits in the queue plus other WP stuff). If you can wait a few weeks I may be able to do something - sorry I can't be more forthcoming. You could try Maralia (talk) or Ranger Steve (talk). EyeSerene^talk 08:38, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: III Corps

As listed on the review, I'm just waiting on some information re: the shooting to be added into the article, since there's agreement it should be added. Once that's done I'll pass the article. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 16:53, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

45th ID commanders

Do you have any sources to show that either Mark Clark or Raymond S. McLain ever commanded the division? (GregJackP (talk) 23:20, 7 February 2010 (UTC))[reply]

I removed those names since I couldn't verify them. —Ed!^(talk) 00:18, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bling!

		The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
		Thank you for your help on Battle of Chosin Reservoir, without your copy-editing help I doubt it could achieve GA status. Jim101 (talk) 00:03, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Jim101 (talk) 00:03, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to you as well! Your contributions to the article were incredible, and it was very easy to help with this article, which I have wanted to see as a GA. —Ed!^(talk) 00:57, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A proposition: If you can help me copy-edit Battle of Onjong, Battle of Unsan, Battle of the Ch'ongch'on River, I believe we can bring one of the critical periods of the Korean War history to GA standards. I just want to get this out of the way so I can switch reference materials and move on to the period from the Chinese New Year Offensive to the Chinese Spring Offensive. Jim101 (talk) 18:17, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've now copy-edited Battle of Onjong. I will be able to copy-edit Unsan and Ch'ongch'on River at a later point, but I believe you can nominate Onjong for GA status whenever you want to. —Ed!^(talk) 21:57, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Ed! Jim101 (talk) 22:32, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ACR withdrawal

In the future when you would like to withdraw an ACR, please let a coordinator know. There are some steps that must be done which you have neglected that I am about to clean-up. -MBK₀₀₄ 01:12, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of 33rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team (United States)

A tag has been placed on 33rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team (United States) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. -- btphelps ^{(talk) (contribs)} 07:58, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
