Loss of Air Force Historical Agency links
editIt would appear that links to many sources for articles dealing with United States Air Force history will have to (again) be changed or relinked tp archived pages. www.afhra.af.mil, which for some time has been the web site for the Air Force Historical Research Agency now redirects to dafhistory.af.mil, which (at east on my computer) cannot be reached. This means links to unit and establishment factsheets, numbered AAF and USAF studies, and a number of works published by AFHRA are no longer valid. Strikes me as something a bot is needed to solve (at least for pages that were archived). Lineagegeek (talk) 23:20, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
Misplacement
editSince Haile Selassie I has passed the Good article status can someone add the article as a GA class for Military history? CtasACT (talk) 00:10, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- No need. This occurs automagically. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 01:52, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- The reason why is the article passed the GA criteria a couple months ago, and it still is listed C class to which i have been troubled by. CtasACT (talk) 01:58, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Raid on Bardia biblio question
editRaid on Bardia Anyone know who Wilmott 1944 is? Thanks Keith-264 (talk) 11:09, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- Check through the history and you can probably find the complete citation.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 13:30, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- If you look at the Operation Sunflower article you'll find the citation for Wilmott. Something called Tobruk 1941 that appears to have been published in 1983 and is possibly a reprint of something that came out in 1944. It's listed as (1993) [1944]. Tobruk 1941 (Penguin ed.). Sydney: Halstead Press Intothatdarkness 13:35, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- It's Chester Wilmot, Aus. war corres. who transferred to BBC in 1944 and made a broadcast about flying in on D-Day, available as "Transcript of a narrative recorded by Chester Wilmot, as BBC war correspondent with 6 Airborne Div, in a glider bound for France on 6 Jun 1944", although god knows where. But your Torbruk 1944 is available at the Internet Archive, here. ——Serial Number 54129 13:52, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks all, I checked the history to no avail, I wondered if it was Chester Wilmot because he wrote on the Desert War. Thanks all. Keith-264 (talk) 14:45, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- Curious, though, Keith-264, as it was you that originally added Wilmot in March 2015... without the full ref. then either ;) ——Serial Number 54129 14:56, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Well damn my rags! I didn't check my edits as I assumed it wasn't me. I must have adapted the Sonnemblume section from Sonnenblume. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 15:04, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- No worries. It was nicely full circle really! :) ——Serial Number 54129 15:13, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
