82nd Sustainment Brigade
editHello. I just wanted to say thanks for updating the 82nd Sustainment Brigade page. Sorry it was reverted in the first place; the page happens to be one of my projects and I'm trying to maintain its quality by making sure all the information on the page is sourced and unless I find a new verifiable source for something I leave it out. -Ed!(talk)(Hall of Fame) 18:27, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
No, thank you Ed! I am the brigade journalist for the 82nd SB, and you have done a wonderful job for us! I am in the process of figuring out how to enter the citations. As you can see, I added the reference for our transformation to Corps and addition of the 507th downtrace battalions to our ranks. I am trying to hone my ability to contribute effectively in an organized and aesthetically pleasing way. Thanks for what you've done to increase the understanding of our brigade, and for your vehement adherence to accuracy!!Army46Q (talk) 18:43, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
Ed!, I just realized you included all of that helpful information above! Thank you!

How do I use bullet points? I imagine I will shortly get the hang of organizing to your exacting standard!Army46Q (talk) 22:48, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

How do I create links to objects both within Wikipedia and from the web?Army46Q (talk) 22:51, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
- Bullet points are just the asterisk. As for links to other wikipedia articles, they go like [[this]], unless the page has something in parentheses, where you get something like [[This (qualifier)|this]] so the link shows up as "This". Also, external links go [http://likethis.com Like This] Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Many otters • One hammer • HELP) 23:05, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
- For linking, see this. ResMar 23:06, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
- Hi! Use asterisks for bullet points, like as follows:
* Item 1
* Item 2
* Item 3
** Item 3.1
- That should produce something that looks like this:
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3
- Item 3.1
- Use square brackets to create links. Use a double pair with the target page within to link within Wikipedia, and a single pair with the URL inside to link to outside Wikipedia, as follows:
- [[Main Page]] - produces a link to the main page: Main Page
- [[Main Page|foo]] - produces a link to the main page, with the text "foo": foo (this is a "piped" link)
- [http://www.google.com] - produces a link to google: [1]
- [http://www.google.com foo] - produces a link to google, with the text "foo" foo
- http://www.google.com - links to google: http://www.google.com
- Hope this helps, :) Stwalkerster [ talk ] 23:08, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
- For linking, see this. ResMar 23:06, 9 April 2009 (UTC) Regarding bulleted lists: just use the astrik *. Adding more then one indents if, for example:
- Astrik
- Astrik astrik
Similar to using the ":" charecter for indents:
- One indent
- Two indent
And the # charecter for numbered lists:
- List item 1
- List item two
Hope that helps. Lol; I've idet conflicted 3 times! ResMar 23:09, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
It would be helpful if you could provide more information on images you upload.
A fully filled out {{information}} box assists greatly in allowing people to find images, but also in showing that they meet the relevant criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia.

Gladly. Can I still provide the info on the photo in question? If so, how?Army46Q (talk) 20:45, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
- Sure you can. Look at the documentation for the information template I mentioned above :) Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:12, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
