Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Don Bacon (general). This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:03, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
The content is not unsourced. You can find all of this information on his military biography page which is included in the external links at the bottom of the page. As I have stated before, the format of this biography matches standard Air Force biographical formatting. Just because you don't care for that style of formatting, doesn't mean that you right. If you have a problem with it, please take it up with the DOD. You also might consider examining many of the other biographies on Wikipedia which are similarly formatted.

Also, here are some other examples. Does the formatting look familiar?

editIf my posts violate policy, than countless military biographies are in violation of policy. You have threatened that I will be blocked from editing Wikipedia if I continue to fix your attempts to mess with a page that I have been tasked with maintaining. The following link (which is included on the Wikipedia page) will show you some references on a government webpage. [2] I am asking you again to stop messing with a page that you are not responsible for. If you don't care for the biographical formatting of military biographies, take it up with the people who have created the standard - not me. Senator1776 (talk) 00:27, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
- I don't know about other pages, I know about this one. Not all of the information you're adding is encyclopedic by our standards, we don't just list everything it may say on that biography. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:29, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Don Bacon (general). You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 23:53, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
Ma'am: I apologize for the delay in response and I appreciate your edits. One of my jobs is to maintain this particular biography where I work. Consequently, the issue of plagiarism never came to mind as we maintain (and provide upon request) the most up to date and accurate biography to various outlets. Our office is the source.

Rep. Bacon
editIt seems pretty clear from your previous comments that you work in Rep. Bacon's office. Please stop editing his bio. You have a conflict of interest here and it's frankly inappropriate, especially now that he's an elected official. Please leave his encyclopedia biography to disinterested users. -- Y not? 21:55, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
The only edits to his bio that I have made are to add back in factual details about his military service that others keep deleting. I have never added anything that is opinion oriented to this page. The biographical details that I have edited center on his military background and are built according to the standard template used within the Air Force. This template is used on countless other pages for military leaders throughout all of Wikipedia. When reading up on Wikipedia standards, it was pretty clear that biographical formatting standards are based on guidelines, not rock solid rules. It is rather amazing that Muboshgu and a few others focus so much attention on this page. Are you all going to start messing with every military biography soon? Before you start accusing people of what is inappropriate, you might think about the appropriateness of someone who spends all of their time deleting standardized biographical details off a single person's bio page. Senator1776 (talk) 21:22, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
- The format you're referring to is wrong on Bacon's page and wrong on all of the others too. The Military History WikiProject confirmed that for me. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:13, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
Muboshgu: I am so glad you are here to correct everyone. I have been referencing Wikipedia for years and I have seen countless military pages formatted in the same way. I never knew that so many people were idiots. Obviously you are right and they are all wrong! Seriously, why don't you just take it up with the DOD or the Air Force. Senator1776 (talk) 22:20, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
- How hard is it to understand that we shouldn't plagiarize, even a PD source? – Muboshgu (talk) 22:26, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
You just don't give up. At one point, you threatened to have me blocked. Now you level the word "plagiarize" against me. Do you even know what it means? In my various jobs, I have had to reproduce standard military biographies in many different organizational publications (to include organizations outside of the DOD where military leaders were guest lecturers). No one ever accused me of plagiarizing their open source biography when I reused it in any of these publications. Unlike those publications, there is a link at the bottom of the page taking one directly to the USAF webpage. Senator1776 (talk) 22:37, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
Conflict of interest
editAgain, can you focus on your conflict of interest instead of yelling at people? See here WP:CONFLICT -- Y not? 13:44, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
