Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 9th Infantry Regiment (United States), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sitka (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to United States Army Rangers, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. - wolf 08:11, 27 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

wolf, if you had clicked on James Earl Rudder's name, the link would have taken you to his biography on Wikipedia, which clearly states that he retired from the US Army Reserve as a Major General, after commanding the 90th Infantry Division. I have included both that link and another link to his biography on the Texas A&M University website as references for his correct rank. Similarly, Samuel V. Wilson's Wikipedia biography verifies that he served with Merrill's Marauders, and even has a picture of him wearing his Ranger tab. I have added both that link and another one to his obituary in the Washington Post as references for the correct information that I have posted yet again.

  Hello, I'm Srich32977. 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. Your recent edit to Chelsea Manning seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. – S. Rich (talk) 18:29, 11 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Srich32977. After reviewing my edits, I must acknowledge that you are technically correct. Manning, who was still known as Bradley Manning at the time of his sentencing, was convicted by military court martial of multiple violations of the Espionage Act, not treason. Therefore, Manning is a convicted spy, not a convicted traitor. However, since spying against the United States is a form of betraying it, I felt that was a case of unnecessary hair-splitting. Also, being a retired Army officer, I have personal knowledge that Manning was stripped of all awards and decorations as part of his conviction by court-martial. It happened in conjunction with him being reduced to the rank of Private (E-1). As soon as I can find a reference online to corroborate that, I'll repost it.
