Welcome!
Hello, SuperWIKI, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as List of Kamen Rider Kuuga characters, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

Speedy deletion nomination of List of Kamen Rider Kuuga characters
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on List of Kamen Rider Kuuga characters requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://brainmusic-movie.blogspot.com/2010/02/kamen-rider-kuuga-2000-japan.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Orphaned non-free image File:EMK-Ix WoAAeZSr.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:EMK-Ix WoAAeZSr.jpeg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Replaceable fair use File:EMK-Ix WoAAeZSr.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:EMK-Ix WoAAeZSr.jpeg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing<your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — JJMC89 (T·C) 22:00, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 8
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited United States Army North, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Albert C. Smith. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:23, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Page preview
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to List of active duty United States four-star officers, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.
It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. - wolf 19:15, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
Edit summary
Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.
Edit summary content is visible in:
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! - wolf 19:17, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
"Minor" edits
Hi SuperWIKI! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. - wolf 19:23, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
Added note
In light of your recent editing difficulties, I hope you find these notices and links they contain useful. In the future, if you have any questions, (ie: your recent struggles with with markup and tables) you can consult the Help Desk. - wolf 19:29, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for kindly informing me of these errors. I have indeed, however, used the preview function liberally to detect errors, however those might instead have resulted in a mass undoing of edits due to seeing those visible errors far too late. I shall strive to be more careful in these endeavours. SuperWIKI (talk) 03:49, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
- I was specifically referring to the series of edits you made to the list of active 4 star officers. You made a change, then saved it. Saw it didn't work. Tried a different change saved it again. And so on and so on. This created a long list of needless edits. The problem with that is that it both adds that long list of changes to the pages history as well as to all the watchlists of every editor watching that page. Always click preview first and check, before saving.
Also, see WP:INDENT for how we reply to comments on talk pages, and the replies in this thread for an example; each beginning with an increasing number of colons.
Lastly, I noted the "ping" you attempted to add to Neovu79's talk page. Just a quick note about that; first, pings on the user's talk page are entirely unnecessary, since we already receive a notification for any changes made to all our of user pages. Even if you add a message, then immediately decide to delete, that will result in two notifications, one for the message, one for the removal. This applies to all user pages; user, user talk, sandbox, etc. You can ping someone else however, ie: ping user x on user y's talk page. You also added the ping incorrectly. You need to use the correct template (at the beginning of your post) and add your signature (at the end) at the same time, or else it won't work. I usually use the template {{Yo|username}}, which produces @username, but you will see a list of templates, along with instructions, on the Template:Reply to page. - wolf 16:52, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- Noted. Firstly, I assume I shouldn't make an attempt to correct the message again since it will inundate Neovu with notifications? Secondly, this may seem out of let field but may I extend the offer I gave to Neovu to you as well, if you are interested? SuperWIKI (talk) 17:03, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- Yup, Neovu knows what you mean and any further corrections there are not needed. I had a look at the pages, and it appears you want the 3 star page to mirror the format of the 4 star page, which seems like an obvious and worthwhile improvement, so go for it. I haven't made many changes to the 4 star page since Neovu has been regularly maintaining it for awhile now, and as for the 3 star page, SmartyPants22 would be the guy talk to. (Not that any editor "owns" any page mind you, just that it's good practice to discuss major changes first, especially with any experienced editors who regularly contribute to and/or maintain a page). You seem to have pretty good handle on it so there shouldn't be any problems. - wolf 18:45, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

New table
Well, I'm done with it. Now all I need is some consensus, but I cynically doubt it will receive attention on that talk page.SuperWIKI (talk) 09:43, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- You can just add your update now, you know. You intend for it to be an improvement. If someone has a problem, it can be undone with one simple click. All the names/ titles/ commands/ etc., are the same, so it's not really a controversial edit, so consensus beforehand is not really required. Besides, if you wait to so see IF some people are going to look at the talk page, and then IF they go to your sandbox, and IF they then go back to the talk page to post 'yea' or 'nay', (how many !votes would you want before you do anything anyway?)... that could take forever. So just go for it. (It's not like you can get in trouble.) If you're at all hesitant, let me know and I'll do it for you. I'll copy it over, give you full credit on the talk page for creating it (plus I'd have to attrib you in the summary anyway), but if there's any hassle from anyone, it's my edit so I'll deal with it. So for you its no grief, just gravy. Up to you, lemme know whenever. - wolf 10:41, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- Okeydoke. I guess I'll just add it then. I might even get started on a two-star page. SuperWIKI (talk) 10:48, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- Just saw it, it looks good (bet that felt good too, huh?). Anyway, a 2-star page? That should be interesting, go for it! - wolf 13:05, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- Right now test-running a senior enlisted advisor page, two-stars might be too many for me to work alone. I might really need someone else on it with me for that. SuperWIKI (talk) 13:08, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- If you can provide a raw list of data; names, service, position... I have no problem doing all the markup to build the table. Yes, it's probably gonna be pretty big, but meh... what milhist editor doesn't love a good list?
- I dunno if you're still working on the 3 star table/page, but it needs some tweaks and I had some questions, mainly about numbers. In the lead you state each branch has x number of officers (Army 50, MC 18, USN 38, AF 48, SF 5, CG 4 & PH 0) presumably adding up the numbers from previous table, as they were just listed by branch, with no separate DoD/JCS/UCC/Joint positions. Problem is you state the numbers total 143, but they actually add up to 163.
I think the lead should be changed and expanded, wrt to numbers. If you take a look at General (United States)#Statutory limits, it discusses the numbers of flag/general officers for each branch, the % of 3&4 stars, and actual cap numbers of 4 star. There are also exemptions; JCS & staff, UCC, Dir. of CIA, CO of Forces Korea, etc. (and I think this plays a factor in your current lead numbers) A lot of this info is already included on the list of 4 stars, but after the table. Anyway, on your actual table, you have; Army 37, MC 15, USN 29, AF 30, SF 5, CG 4 & PH 1 but combinded DoD/Joint/UCC 45, for a total of 166. (perhaps postions that are exemptions should be marked with a symbol and/or colored background?) Anyway... some food for thought. - wolf 14:57, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Table markup (U.S. two-star officers)
@Thewolfchild: Sorry to bother you, but that offer you made me to turn raw info into table markup? I'm ready to take you up on it. Right now, I have the table for the most recent pending appointments for two-star officers in the U.S. Armed Forces, and I think it would be helpful to turn the raw info extracted from the Department of Defense releases into the table code, if you're interested. May I request your help in this? P.S. There is hidden text code in the table that should help you organize a bit, plus Service logos (second-last column) should already be present in the test page. I can find citations by myself, but the last column would benefit from finding the Senate nomination url and citing them, with appropriate record and date. Hope you are doing well!

Links to draft articles
Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to List of active duty United States rear admirals. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 13:06, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Ways to improve List of active duty United States Army major generals
Hello, SuperWIKI,
Thank you for creating List of active duty United States Army major generals.
I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:
That was a very good article to read, lot of work must have went in there, thanks

@Joseywales1961: Going to bed so I'll handle it tomorrow. Can't see any tags but it's probably bc I'm on mobile, right? Don't worry, that's only the majority complete, the page is only missing the posts that take more effort to find. Thank you! SuperWIKI (talk) 17:21, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

List of active duty United States rear admirals
I just wanted to give you a heads up, I had to blank out your list of rear admirals for the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, as it was not accurate. Every one of those PHS officers/positions are one-star rear admirals and not two-star. The PHS uses the abbreviation RADM for both their one-star and two-star rear admirals and not RDML for their one-stars. The heads of service corps within the commissioned corps are either captains or one-star rear admirals. The PHS normally appoints officers with two-stars if they are appointed as heads of certain agencies within the HHS, i.e. the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Food and Drug Administration, Indian Health Service, National Institutes of Health, etc. Neovu79 (talk) 05:38, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
- I suspected something was up with it, but I had no way to confirm it without accidentally doing something wrong. Thanks! Will still add the DSG (Deputy Surgeon General) position as vacant, however. SuperWIKI (talk) 06:10, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
- P.S: I have reverted changes for RADM Yvette Davids and David A. Goggins as a heads-up too. The flag list for officers by the Navy Personnel Command (dated March 2021) lists them both as two-star RADMs. Why their promotions and assignments were not publicized is beyond me, however being the latest possible record of Navy flag officers, I went by that and cited accordingly. You may check: it's in the reference list, pretty close to the top. Thanks. SuperWIKI (talk) 06:22, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

You may check: it's in the reference list, pretty close to the top. Thanks. SuperWIKI (talk) 06:22, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
Officer vs position
Hey SW, when EPMen asked you about doing one-star lists, I found myself wondering if the number of one-star officers is equal to the number of one-star positions. Iow, must there be a specific billet for an O-6 to be promoted to? Or are there Brigadiers and Rear Admirals (lh) at large? (perhaps Neovu79 knows?) Anyway, keep up the good work. Cheers - wolf 06:09, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- There is a specific cap. of general or flag officers in each service. However, no position below O-9 has a specific rank tied to it. The ranks above O-8 require a specific rank to hold a specific position (that's a lot of specifics). In my opinion, any O-7 or below position has a specific rank tied to it by convention and not by statute. A colonel commanding a brigade or a major general commanding a division is the standard but need not necessarily always be the case. Here's an example: BG Curtis A. Buzzard was a Colonel (O-6) when he first became Commandant of Cadets of the United States Military Academy; he got promoted to Brigadier General (O-7) a while into his tenure. It's pretty common for a Colonel to rank up to BG or a BG to rank up to MG after a few years in the same position, which is what makes the problems for the current O-8 lists worse for possible O-7 lists. There are no set general/flag positions (for the most part) below O-9. You have to scrounge individual biographies and if you get lucky, publicly-released personnel requirements while matching assignments on the USDOD website to the Congress nomination. Specific billets with an assigned rank below O-9 are rare if nonexistent. I could be wrong though. Ask Neovu79 for extra advice. SuperWIKI (talk) 06:24, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Thewolfchild: Tested the new format on my sandbox and added them to the Army list and Navy list. Works well. All I have to do is add the Coast Guard and Air Force ones. SuperWIKI (talk) 14:05, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- Thewolfchild statue does set a total number of active duty general and flag officers (one-star to four-star) within each service (10 U.S.C. § 525). Joint duty one-stars are exempt from that number via 10 U.S.C. § 526. 526 also sets a minimum number of one-stars for joint duty, but no maximum. On a side note, when you're getting into permanent ranks, there are additional statues and regulations are involved. Congress annually sets a total number of officers, active-duty and reserves, that can be promoted to a permanent rank each year. From there each service takes that number and compares it to their needs in certain job-related roles. The military calls them military occupation specialties (MOS) or for the Navy and Coast Guard, they're called designators or designations. The services then come up with a list of how many officers in each job field that they can promote within that total set by Congress. Once an officer is selected for promotion, they have to wait for headroom in order to assume rank. Some can assume rank while still in their current position. Some have to wait for a position to open up to assume rank; this occurs often for staff corps, reserves, and limited duty officers. Each service also has a very limited number of officers that can be frocked. Officers can also be nominated for appointment to a higher rank in order to immediately fill a vacant position (i.e. joint duty) designated for an officer at a particular rank.

Titles
Just curious why you went with "major generals" instead of "two-star generals", as all the other list articles use "four-star" and "three-star". Was that a conscious choice? - wolf 04:02, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Yes. See the name for List of serving major generals of the United States National Guard. SuperWIKI (talk) 04:07, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Ha! Funny you mention that. Right after posting here, I posted Talk:List of serving major generals of the United States National Guard#Title to as SmartyPants22 about that as well. (I guess it's just a military thing... I like everything uniform) Cheers - wolf 04:20, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Hey again. Checked with SmartyPants, and major general was changed to two-stars. Ok with you to give all these titles the same format? - wolf 12:15, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

- Just what you're doing. You posted a comment on their talk page to try and engage in discussion (though in the future, comments related to article content should be on the article talk page). If they respond, then try to work out a resolution. If you can't, then dispute resolution would be your next step. If they don't respond and discontinue editing, then you can resume working on the page, and restore any edits you feel are appropriate.
If they don't respond, but continue to edit the page, then you have two options; 1) if the edits clearly do not benefit the article (ie: vandalism), then warn them, using the vandalism or disruptive editing templates found on twinkle. If they continue despite 3 or 4 warnings, report them to AIV. 2) If their edits are basically just in opposition to yours, (making it a content dispute), then file a report at ANI, indicating they refuse to engage despite all your attempts. Lastly, this is just my opinion, others may differ. Since you specifically pinged me, I won't be able to be involved directly, as it would make this a canvassing violation, but feel free to ping again me if you have any more questions.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from List of United States Air Force four-star generals into Draft:List of United States Air Force three-star generals since 2010. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also.

- Question: while I agree that my error was not putting the template on both the source and target page, I engage in large sets of copying between list pages, as they share very similar formats. These can take up to 50 sets of edits in a single day. To clarify (if I missed anything on the Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia page), will a single template be enough to cover a single set of edits (i.e. for every set of transfers between two pages) or must every individual copy-edit be attributed? As stated above, said large sets would likely constitute the extensive copying that would require the template. SuperWIKI (talk) 13:07, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Rachel Levine's commission
I see that you beat me to this. I'm very surprised that she accepted a direct commission. She could have just served in office as a civilian. Neovu79 (talk) 15:56, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
- I was actually surprised too, but for different reasons. I thought for sure that her four-star rank would need a separate Senate confirmation, and the United States Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions does those. I thought the news meant she was awaiting confirmation and would face stiff Republican resistance, but nope. Swearing in immediately. Also, the image for her isn't my download, it's Delfuego's. My thanks goes to him. SuperWIKI (talk) 16:02, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Neovu79: What's the chances of her full-length image coming out any time soon? SuperWIKI (talk) 16:05, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
- Levine did not have to go through a senatorial confirmation to receive her commission and appointment to four-star rank, because the Presidential Appointment Efficiency and Streamlining Act of 2011 (Pub. L. 112-166) eliminated that requirement for all appointments to and promotions for the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and the NOAA Corps. So I was also very surprised that Rear Admiral Nancy Hann is currently awaiting Senate approval for her second star. Her last three predecessors did not have to go through that, and there is no law requirement to be appointed for the position of director. One of her predecessors, Vice Admiral Michael Devany, didn't even got through senatorial confirmation when he received his third star. The Act placed all appointments and promotions of offices for these services from the department secretaries to the president. Once the president signs off on the appointment, the officer allowed to be appointed or promoted. Neovu79 (talk) 16:46, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
- I don't know if I'm correct, but I don't see that bit about PHSCC admirals not needing their ranks confirmed anywhere on Wikipedia. I'm heading to bed now (and on mobile), but if you're just getting active right about now, I highly recommend you help add those details to the relevant pages. SuperWIKI (talk) 17:01, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
- There isn't any information on that because, originally, there was no precedence. Every other four-star admiral were either already an officer when they were nominated for the position of ASH or they were nominated to be appointed a commission ("to be Medical Director in the Regular Corps of the Public Health Service") into the commissioned corps, within the same nomination of for appointment as ASH. Their full nominations read as to be Medical Director in the Regular Corps of the Public Health Service, subject to the qualifications therefor as provided by law and regulations, and to be an Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services. Neovu79 (talk) 17:10, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
- I don't just mean for four-star ranks, but all ranks in the PHSCC in general. The Act says, and I quote: "Eliminates the requirement of Senate approval of all appointments to and promotions for the Commissioned Officer Corps in the Public Health Service and in NOAA." That would be a very notable distinction indeed in comparison to other uniformed services, yet I don't (seemingly) see it on Wikipedia. SuperWIKI (talk) 17:19, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

Lance K. Landrum
On the topic of Lance K. Landrum, a U.S. Air Force lieutenant general, you reverted my edits after you stated that Wiki policy says that ranks' images shouldn't be included in the infobox. From what I've found, many well-known articles include an image of the rank in the infobox, including George Patton, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Omar Bradley.
You stated that military rank should not be included as an honorific prefix, but I have seen it used in many other articles, such as for Dwight Eisenhower, Omar Bradley, Chester Nimitz, and Douglas MacArthur. All of the aforementioned articles are widely visited and edited, and many are featured articles, which are meant to be used as an example for how new articles should look.
Could you please explain these discrepancies? Many thanks. Gunwriter (talk) 21:13, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
- I've been told that in most cases, adding ranks to the infoboxes, especially en masse is not appropriate (as is adding images to the infobox), as when I attempted adding rank prefixes to members of the German SS. All those examples you have listed are American officers with five-star rank, which in those day were considered permanent personal ranks rather than modern military ranks in modern American which are mere appointments by the Senate. The "personal rank" status is what allows them to use that five-star rank as an honorary prefix. SuperWIKI (talk) 01:27, 25 October 2021 (UTC
- I still often see images of rank used for lower ranking officers and foreign officers. For example, Lieutenant Commander Roger B. Chaffee, who has a featured article, includes both a picture of his rank insignia and an image of the United States Navy flag in his infobox. Colonel Chris Hadfield, a Canadian officer, has an image of his rank in the infobox. Many other officers also have images of rank insignia and their branch of service in their infobox. Gunwriter (talk) 04:20, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
- In my opinion, this is much more indicative of a general style difference among infoboxes. Most contemporary generals of this decade don't use the prefix, hence I follow those. You should bring the general topic to this page, see what the majority will make a consensus on. WP:INFOBOX actually says flag icons should be avoided. SuperWIKI (talk) 04:24, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

For the 3 star and 2 star lists, the current position is on the left and the designated position is on the right, which I find less confusing. Is re-ordering the "list of pending appointments" section on the 4 star list to make it consistent with the others something you'd be willing to do? Or is there a reason it's the way it is? — Preceding unsigned comment added by EPMen (talk • contribs) 01:04, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- @EPMen: Basically it got switched back and forth a few times until it was decided to leave it as is. SuperWIKI (talk) 03:04, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

Tips Part 2
Looks like Nowell is retiring Friday with Cheeseman succeeding him per the latest Navy flag officer roster. RADM Bill Byrne also retired. Other changes too.
Tips
Just found a lot of changes in terms of which selects have been promoted. Didn't want to make the edits myself since I'm terrible at formatting.

List of United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps four-star admirals
Re: List of United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps four-star admirals, your edit show here, which reverted my edit shown here may have been misinterpreted.
Your edit summary of "Per style in other lists, the numbering is intended to be a tally format, with names unmentioned." would indicate you though my edit which changed the phrasing from
One, James O. Mason, was already an officer in the regular corps...
back to the original phrasing of
One was already an officer in the regular corps...
decreased the readability of the article such that way they reader has to hover/jump to the piped link to find out that officer's name. My edit was not intended to sequence the officers in any way, but was an attempt to improve the grammar, as I indicated in my edit summary. — MrDolomite • Talk 18:49, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- I have a (fortunately rare) habit of hewing to the page creator Morinao's editing style since most of my military lists are based on his, which, due to his list creations being sporadic due to long research periods off-site, sometimes conflict with present Wikipedia MOS. Apologies if this made me revert your edit on instinct. You can change it back if you wish. SuperWIKI (talk) 03:33, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
