[edit] wrong time

The philippenes is 8 hours ahead from america. it would be in the evening of december 7th, 1941

-john-calvin morleskieviech

I'd like to note that this article seems to be written from an entirely American point of view, extolling Americans acts of heroism and individual victories. The heroism stories are interesting but one soldier destroying a howitzer doesn't seem like it belongs in the article. I'm sure there were an equal amount of heroes on the Japanese side.Halvorson 22:33, 5 October 2006 (UTC)


I did as much as I could to balance the article on a purely grammatical basis, eg. changing "enemy" to "Japanese". Terrifying Angel 22:40, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Tribune 24-09-1942.jpg

Image:Tribune 24-09-1942.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] "in the early stages of World War II"

I've removed this from the very first sentance from the first line of the article. I'm not sure that over two years into World War II would count as "in the early stages".

The only problem is that this edit changes the meaning of the sentance slightly, so it may need something to replace it. "in the early stages of World War II in the Pacific"..?

[edit] Which San Jose?

As there are two cities/towns named San Jose on Luzon, could someone who is familiar with the history of this battle, or with the geography of the island, disambiguate the reference to San Jose in the description of the American defensive lines? Thanks. Gentgeen (talk) 11:21, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
