Misconceptions and how they are reflected in your “history”
editThe Brigade 2506 was created after JFK became President. Why was it created? I cannot answer that, but I know one thing for sure, the whole plan hinged after the Brigade was organized, after JFK became President, in having air control; meaning NO Castro’s planes would be flying because our Air Force would have destroyed them prior to our landing at Playa Girón and Playa Larga where the heaviest fought took place. In Playa Larga heavy tank battles took place that evening and I don’t know if José Fajardo and his tank were there because we didn’t talk to tank crews, so heavy was the fight. I can only say that they fought bravely and I always be thankful….and José Fajardo was one tank commander. 2601:58A:8700:3760:803D:DBB5:A302:4D2D (talk) 00:14, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
Citations
editHello, has anyone else noticed an excess of citations? Some sentences have five for just one fact. A bit of redundancy is fine, but this seems excessive.

- Excess citations always make me nervous. Sometimes someone will add a dubious fact cited to an unreliable source. Someone else will object, then the first editor will add six more citations to equally questionable sources to bolster their argument.
- Feel free to investigate and fix these, or add Template:Excessive citations inline tags where needed. GA-RT-22 (talk) 20:45, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
I also wonder if we really need all those "page number" templates. GA-RT-22 (talk) 21:10, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
Belligerents are placed wrongly
editI think the way in which the Belligerents under the Quick Facts section are laid out is incorrect. I don't know how to fix it, if someone could fix it, that would be good. MiloWallace07 (talk) 11:27, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
- @MiloWallace07 Agreed, needs fixing for those last few rows CommandAShepard (talk) 07:53, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
