[edit] Edit of 332nd Engineer General Service Regiment (United States)

Your edit to the V2 section of the 332nd Engineer General Service Regiment (United States) article was too extensive of an edit, to chop out so much without a good explanation. Please explain your reasons for such extensive editing. I also recommend that you register with Wikipedia. Anonymous IP editors are difficult to communicate with. Mfields1

[edit] Please discuss deletions on the talk page

Editor at IP 65.208.246.114, would you discuss content on the talk page before wholesale deletion? 'Crossbow and Overcast' describes the activities by 332nd and others in June 1945: "Thus, as of June 21, 1945, the Americans appeared to have won almost all of the V-2 spoils of war and an unbeatable lead over their Soviet and British allies in using them to build a long-range rocket program". This is an accurate assessment of the first part of the activities (gathering the equipment, people and plans) and is the end of the chapter. Two pages later the author describes "Overcast". In America there was debate on whether to bring the German scientists to America. In Europe there was no debate at all. "British and Soviet Intelligence were making an intensive effort to lure hose same scientists away from the Americans." (see page 190). To obtain even these last documents were needed and important in the overall big picture. This is why the 332nd was visited by Von Braun, Dr. Porter and Major Staver. They were in the right position to retrieve the documents most expeditiously. There was a timetable set by the Potsdam conference, where Americans had to move away from certain areas to allow Russions in these areas and in exchange the Americans would be given a sector of Berlin. They were not planning to risk going into the territories (then) held by the Russians and British for an exercise. This is the importance of this. I will work out some way to describe it in the article. If you don't like the description then change it without simply deleting it. Mfields1 21:57, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Editing my user page

Editor at IP 65.208.246.114 : Please don't edit my user page. If there is something you want to discuss, leave it on my talk page. Perhaps you are new to Wikipedia. Please see how others edit an editors TALK page, not the USER page. Thanks. Mfields1 01:37, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted inaccuracy that Wernher von Braun went with Porter & Staver as claimed

This is stated in the regimental history which is available at the USAMI and other sources. Over 1000 copies were printed. It states Werner Von Braun visited the 332nd headquarters. Can you show that he did not? As for the number of persons involved in the detail, the people involved would no more than authors who write years later. Chris, I don't understand why these edits happen. It seems like no matter how well an item is cited another editor can slash and delete without discussion. Mfields1 02:23, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Communication on Wikipedia

65.208, it seems from the many other messages that Mfields1 has been trying to communicate with you regarding editing of 332nd Engineer General Service Regiment (United States), but you haven't responded other than in edit summaries. Talk page communication is sometimes necessary for the improvement of specific articles and is vital to the project in general. In this case, there is some disagreement about how to improve the article and whether certain material should or should not be in the article. The appropriate approach is to discuss such matters at Talk:332nd Engineer General Service Regiment (United States) or even to respond to a point raised above. If there is a disagreement, discussion should proceed towards the goal of a compromise or a consensus (very similar concepts). If disagreement is intractable between two editors, it's always possible to request comment from a third editor. Feel free to drop me a line here or at my talk page if you have any questions.

BTW, please consider creating an account. There are many good reasons to do so. Cheers!--Chaser - T 02:06, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
