Please do not insert large blocks of text from newspapers without attribution as you did in Gettysburg Battlefield - see WP:CITE. Without a source this is a copyright violation. Also, in general, sources are used to provide information that is then rewritten / summarized, not used as a large block of copied text. Ruhrfisch _><>° 13:46, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

External map service links

Hello. You have been identified as having added or removed direct external map service links in articles. There is a discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:External links#Issues with inclusion or exclusion of map service links about which should be done, and some more opinions would be good to find community consensus. --Para (talk) 23:05, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

USS General J. H. McRae (AP-149)/USAT General J. H. McRae

I wanted to thank you for your addition to the USS General J. H. McRae (AP-149) article. I did notice, however, that you removed a template, {{DANFS}} when you made your change. It is important for the notice generated by that template (which says: This article includes text from the public domain Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships.) to remain on pages that do in fact use public domain text from the Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships. — Bellhalla (talk) 13:06, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Bombing of Bremen in World War II

I have moved most of your additions to Valentin submarine pens to a new article called Bombing of Bremen in World War II I have used in instead of "during" because "in" is used in all similar articles. --Philip Baird Shearer (talk) 19:20, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

You might be interested to know that there is a list of USAAF WWII raids, that was copied from USAF History Publications & wwii combat chronology (pdf)

List of air operations of the Battle of Europe

Hi. You have made extensive edits in this article, and I was wondering if you would not like to reference them to some sources?--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 04:18, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Test Stand VII

Hi there. I just assessed Test Stand VII as B-class. It is a very good article following your rewrite and could probably be assessed higher than that, but just wanted to let you know. I also had a question about an image where you did an impressive amount of work and referencing. See Commons:User talk:Mugs2109. I'd be interested to know what you think about that.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry about putting the image question on the wrong page. I'll go and move that now and add a reply there. Carcharoth (talk) 19:47, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

My reply is at Commons:Image talk:Project Paperclip Team at Fort Bliss.jpg. Carcharoth (talk) 20:03, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
