Minefield Photo Dispute
editI am in a back and forth with another editor. A photo was removed (in my opinion) without sufficient justification. Altering a site should require a reasoned explanation. I requested additonal justification and it ended up in an edit war. It is a photo of an active minefield taken on Hum Mountain above Mostar during SFOR 13 during the time period of the 35th ID. I am posting this before seeking Third opinion (3O). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Botendaddy (talk • contribs) 17:20, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
- Photo is irrelevant to the article. Adds no information. Is just there for nothing. I prove this: only instance that the word "Minefield" appears in the entire article is in the photo's description. There is no justification to add it. None, Zero, Nada. It doesn't add context, gives no extra information, and isn't even a good quality photo (as without description no one understands what it shows). Add photos that give value to the article and add them in the appropriate section. You might have seen that I left your photo "35th Infantry Division Liaison Officer, Mostar, Bosnia, April 5, 2003" in the article, because that adds value (I also moved it to the correct location at the beginning of a section, and switched it from left to right to not mess up the layout). However if my answer doesn't satisfy you, please feel free to ask for a third opinion. noclador (talk) 18:01, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
Photos
editIt would be good to see more photos from Kosovo, WWII other tours of duty of the 35th ID. Maybe Harry Truman from WWI? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Botendaddy (talk • contribs) 03:39, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

TRO Information is Incorrect
editTraining and Readiness Oversight for the 35th and 36th Divisions is incorrect. The 45th Brigade (OKARNG) falls under 36th ID for TRO and 39th Brigade (ARARNG) falls under 35th ID. At least part of this diecision was based on the historical connection between the Oklahoma and Texas National Guards.[1]
Additionally, within the 45th BCT, the 279th will retain it's Infantry identity and the 180th will convert to Cavalry, taking on the RSTA mission.
