Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Dino nam (talk) 01:59, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Battle of Cao Bang (1979) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Citation on Russian commando frogmen

Hi Fury 1991, Thank you for adding references to Russian commando frogmen. When citing a book, please add as much identification as you can to uniquely identify the book over the long term, as it makes verification more practicable. I have tried to fill in the gaps, but I don't know if the information I added is for the same edition/imprint that you used, so the page numbers may not match. Please check the expanded reference against your source and correct if necessary. Cheers, • • • Peter (Southwood) ^(talk): 06:25, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Denniss. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view.

Re: 101st

In my view: The definition of an assault is common knowledge; that actions undertaken by large groups of individuals require planning, coordination, and execution is just common sense; and the wording reads like an advertisement. You disagree and that's fine, I'm not going to argue it. It was a single edit, not some drawn-out edit war over the wording, or a personal attack on you. Darthkenobi0||talk 04:12, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

And while you're contemplating this, you might take some time to explain the note you left on my talk page.--Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 14:57, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

I explained my reasoning in the edit summary and here, and I'm not trying to force my view. You're being pointlessly aggressive about wording to apparently multiple other users. It's a collaborative encyclopedia. Calm down.Darthkenobi0||talk 08:32, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

Just one other individual who has a history of butchering the articles for no reason at all. His history log speaks for itself. You need to quit removing information based on assumptions that everybody is well informed on the military when in fact most are clueless.Fury 1991 (talk) 13:18, 29 October 2017 (UTC)Fury 1991

8th Field Artillery

No, I didn't. No elements of 5-8 FA were ever assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division. They were assigned to the 18th Field Artillery Brigade, which was assigned to XVIII Airborne Corps Artillery. They were located at FT Bragg, but that doesn't make them part of the 82nd.82redleg (talk) 23:03, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Actually, they were. You 82nd guys are just sensitive about it. They also used to wear your patch. I know because I was there 23 years ago.Fury 1991 (talk) 23:04, 8 December 2017 (UTC)Fury 1991.

I wasn't there, but I serve with people that were. 5-8 was assigned to the Corps Artillery, not to the 82nd. Period. Full Stop. That's it.

Bullshit. They wore the AA patch for years.Fury 1991 (talk) 23:45, 8 December 2017 (UTC)Fury 1991

Then provide some evidence- photos, orders, something. I have your unsupported assertion- as an unknown editor on Wikipedia that apparently has consistent issues with reliability and objectivity- vs all the official documentation published by the Army and the reports of many other people that I know in real life, friends that I've deployed to combat with. Frankly, it's a real easy choice.

I would really watch the personal attacks as I have supported all my information with reliable resources unlike yourself. Most of what you provide here is often unsourced or vague. I know for a fact that the 5-8th regiment was once a airborne qualified regiment that bore the patch of the 82nd Airborne. Also, sign off on your comments. By the way, I was with Battery C so I know I am not imagining these things.Fury 1991 (talk) 15:48, 9 December 2017 (UTC)Fury 1991

Blahblahblahblah. You're the only one that has ever challenged by citations, and there's numerous issues with your biased posts, you have numerous editorial wars and warnings about them- there's at least 2 or 3 sitting on this talk page right now.82redleg (talk) 00:26, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

I am doing pretty good considering I have edited entire articles and created three on my own. Just three editorial wars from people who are clueless like yourself.Fury 1991 (talk) 02:08, 10 December 2017 (UTC)Fury 1991

Wow, three whole articles!?!?!?! How do you ever manage that kind of output?82redleg (talk) 04:01, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

I did sign my post but you posted after a paragraph.82redleg (talk) 00:26, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

5-8 was never airborne qualified and on jump status. I can find no record that they were ever assigned to the 82nd. I confirmed with my old boss who was a CPT in the 82nd (2-321/3-319), MAJ in 2-8 (Ord to Lewis move under then-LTC Odierno), commanded 3-321 (the non-ABN/non-AASLT battalion in 18th FA BDE, reflagged from 3-8 in 1996), and the commanded 82nd DIVARTY. If he doesn't know the history of airborne FA and the 8th FAR, I don't know who does. But I've got a couple of other sources that I'm checking with, too. I still think you're full of crap.82redleg (talk) 00:31, 10 December 2017 (UTC)82redleg (talk) 00:26, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

It was from 90-97. Go to paratrooper.org. Several of those guys were in the unit. You ass.Fury 1991 (talk) 02:06, 10 December 2017 (UTC)Fury 1991

Nope. 1-377 was reactivated in 1996, so 5-8 wasn't anything in 1997. Now I know you're just making stuff up. But I'll go over to paratrooper.org to check. I'm guessing that you don't understand the difference between a few guys on permissive jump status and the unit being on jump status.82redleg (talk) 02:28, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

I was gone in 94. I was with Battery C at FT Campbell. We were air assault. The other two batteries were airborne qualified. We would go to Bragg and train twice a year. They would also visit Campbell. I could be off by a year even two.Fury 1991 (talk) 02:35, 10 December 2017 (UTC)Fury 1991

Those two batteries were at FT Bragg, but they weren't on jump status, and weren't assigned to the 82nd, but to 18th FA BDE.82redleg (talk) 03:14, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

They were during my era 92-94. Trust me they all had their wings and they called us legs because we were air assault.Fury 1991 (talk) 03:16, 10 December 2017 (UTC)Fury 1991

And the story changes yet again. Now its not that they were on jump status, and that they were assigned to the 82nd (which would mean wearing the AA patch), but now its "they all had their wings". Wings are earned by a 3 week school that consists of about 12 hours of training crammed into 10 days, and then 5 jumps. Being on status means being in a unit that is on jump status- during the time frame you're talking about (90-96), that meant 1-39 FA in 18th FA BDE, and three battalions of the 319th FA in the 82nd, plus a couple of separate batteries. That's it, not 3-8, not 5-8. I did talk to an officer that was in 1-39 FA during this time, and he said each battalion was aligned with a brigade from the 82nd, but they didn't wear the patch and weren't on status. That's two data points from people that I know and have worked for, vs an un-named trouble-maker on wiki. Still think you're wrong.82redleg (talk) 03:31, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Moron they were on jump status. I know nothing about 1-39 and these other units. They have nothing to do with it. You can not even follow the conversation. Why would I even make these things up? Like I care. I know what I experienced. Do what you want. Like I care. We were with the big gun M198 155mm while the rest of you were on those cap guns.Fury 1991 (talk) 03:35, 10 December 2017 (UTC)Fury 1991

That's rich, coming from the guy that wanted to warn me about ad hominem attacks. You know nothing about those other units, huh? They were right beside you. I don't know if you're making things up, or just don't know what you're talking about. Being in a jump status unit means more than just graduating the Basic Airborne Course- it means getting paid to jump. And the unit that was on status was 1-39. 5-8 was air assault, so designated from sometime in the early 90s. But I think I may know a BN CDR from Desert Storm, so I'll check with him at work on MON. And I have some other acquaintances that were at Bragg in the early 90s- I'll double check with them, too. So far, I've got a couple of retired COLs, and a couple of retired senior NCOs (1SG and CSM) that say 5-8 was never on status and never wore the AA.82redleg (talk) 04:01, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Once again I was with the unit stationed at Campbell. Why would I be familiar with the units at Bragg? I was down there two weeks a year.Fury 1991 (talk) 04:06, 10 December 2017 (UTC)Fury 1991

If you're not familiar with the units at Bragg, then maybe you shouldn't go starting fights about them. You clearly don't know what you're talking about.82redleg (talk) 12:22, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Like you don't about 5-8. By the way, how many Wiki articles have you created on your own? I bet none.Fury 1991 (talk) 13:28, 10 December 2017 (UTC)Fury 1991

I know what the published Army history says, and it doesn't make any mention of the 82nd. I know what numerous veterans of 18th FA BDE and 82nd ABN DIVARTY have told me- they are unanimous that 5-8 was never on jump status. My info is solid. Since you want to compare sizes, I've started all 10 of the current DIVARTY articles- many are still works in progress, but they are all created- as well as a number of field artillery battalion articles. There's lots more work to do on FA history.82redleg (talk) 14:05, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

It is all yours. I did what I set out to do and that was the Task Force 1-41 Infantry article and clean up and add detail to the Battle of Norfolk. Maybe you can improve the 3rd Field artillery regiment article as far as the intro and early history. I took care of the 4th battalion section which I served. I improved many other articles along the way. I did over half the 101st. I'm pretty much done here.Fury 1991 (talk) 14:23, 10 December 2017 (UTC)Fury 1991

I got a response from my old BN XO, who said "I was in 5-8-- we wore leg hats and 18th FA BDE patch. I was there 92-94 and then I shifted over to 18th Aviation BDE. 1-39 was Airborne and jumped, 5-8 was AASLT and the other 155 Bn was leg-- 3-8 FA I think before they shifted." I knew that he was in 18th FA, didn't realize that he was 5-8. I'm going to consider the issue of the edit closed- no element of the 8th FA was ever officially assigned to the 82nd or on jump status.82redleg (talk) 12:38, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

I just have strong memories of them calling us legs. Interesting but ok.Fury 1991 (talk) 17:48, 11 December 2017 (UTC)Fury 1991

That section had some other erroneous information. The batteries of 5-8 were not redesignated, they were reflagged (technically, one unit was inactivated and a different unit activated with the same personnel/equipment). If they had been redesignated, then the new unit would retain the lineage of the old unit- like when 8th FA Regiment was redesignated 8th FA Battalion, or when Battery A, 8th FA was reorganized and redesignated as 1st Battalion, 8th FA. 82redleg (talk) 23:13, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Not every source is good, reliable and/or neutral. The statement has no value for the article at all and seems heavily biased (a very strange statement no reputable author would do). --Denniss (talk) 21:26, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

3rd Field Artillery

Fury, the edits you made to the 3rd Field Artillery Regiment (United States) don't apply to the whole regiment, but only to the 4th Battalion. The VUA that you added back in doesn't even apply to the whole battalion, but to the fire support element for 1-41 IN. I'm taking them out of the regimental article, and will add them into a new article about 4th Battalion, 3rd Field Artillery. 82redleg (talk) 01:42, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

Why are you putting "Current Status of Regimental Elements" as the first section? It looks very unattractive and most people do not have

a clue what that even means. It is insignificant to the general public. Just saying.Fury 1991 (talk) 15:27, 21 December 2017 (UTC)Fury 1991
