Well done Morinao. Really comprehensive. I've been working a bit on the Vietnam War. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 02:45, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

I had never seen that source before. Already found three pics of generals I had looked everywhere for, uploaded them a little bit ago. Haven't found the oral histories yet, but still searching. I was reaching the point on some of these guys of just writing "XXXX was a US Army general who commanded XXXX" and hoping someone else could fill in the blanks. The Air Force has a much better system of archiving general officer bios and pics.--Nobunaga24 04:00, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Volney

Actually, I did get, thru wiki email, a letter from an associate of Warner's who wanted to create the article on him. I never got around to replying, but did create the article after reading the email. I think perhaps it might be the same person, or perhaps even the good general himself.--Nobunaga24 22:50, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vice Chiefs of Staff article

Thanks for writing Vice Chief of Staff of the United States Army. I expanded and added references to the article. Daniel Bush 06:58, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Belated thanks....

I'm a little late saying "thanks" for you saying "congratulations." I'll take that as a barnstar/certificate of appreciation/Wikipedia Distinguished Service Medal. And thanks for your contributions to military history articles. Just out of curiosity, what is your military background? I don't know if I'll be around to reply, but if you answer in the next few days, I might see it. I'm retiring for a second time...alas, I have become exhausted in my personal life, and have come to feel this is just one more boulder around my neck. I did what I set out to do, which was to complete or start all the U.S. Army four star general articles.--Nobunaga24 03:07, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] General

Thanks for your response to my question at Talk:General_(United_States)#Missing_information. Note my response to your response. - Shaheenjim 18:29, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

On Talk:General (United States) you said, "After the war, both March and Bliss reverted to their permanent ranks of major general when the World War I emergency legislation expired." Maybe this is a dumb question and I'm missing something obvious, but where did you get that information? I couldn't find it in the introduction to Commanding Generals or in its section on Bliss. What was the exact url of the specific page that said that, and what was the exact quote? - Shaheenjim 04:08, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
On Talk:General (United States) you said, "After the war, both March and Bliss reverted to their permanent ranks of major general when the World War I emergency legislation expired, but Pershing was advanced to General of the Armies." At first I interpreted that to mean that Pershing was advanced to General of the Armies at the same time that March and Bliss reverted to Major General (or after they reverted). But it looks like Pershing was promoted to General of the Armies on September 3, 1919, and March didn't revert to Major General until June 30, 1920. That would mean that the army had a Lieutenant General, a General, and a General of the Armies all at the same time. Would you confirm that for me? Thanks. - Shaheenjim 16:03, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your help on Talk:General (United States). I added the info you gave me on the talk page to the article. Note my new questions at Talk:General (United States)#Missing information 2 and Talk:Chief of Staff of the United States Army. The question at that second link implies a contradiction to your earlier statement on Talk:General (United States) when you said, "after 1906 the highest rank was again major general." - Shaheenjim 19:56, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for answering my question at Talk:Chief of Staff of the United States Army. How about my questions at Talk:General (United States)#Missing information 2? Do you know the answer to them? - Shaheenjim 22:19, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History of Generals

On Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Military_history we had been talking about where to put the history of Generals in the US. People are now having that same conversation again at Talk:General_of_the_Armies#Pershing. I don't know why they insist on having the same conversation in multiple places, but that's not up to me. Anyway, I invite you to reaffirm your position there. - Shaheenjim 02:14, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LTG Dempsey and LTG Odierno

While I greatly appreciate your contibutions to the List of United States four-star officers‎ in updating pending four-star nominations, but isn't it jumping the gun with putting LTG Martin Dempsey and LTG Raymond T. Odierno names in the List of United States Army four-star generals? They have yet to be confirmed by the Senate as well as assumed the nominated assignments.

[edit] Henry G. Ulrich III

The Navy's official website still lists ADM Henry G. Ulrich III as an active officer as of March 6, 2008. Should we re-add him back to the List of United States four-star officers? Neovu79 (talk) 04:07, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree with that. Language to address the offices would be beneficial. However, since List of United States four-star officers is a broad statement in itself, would it be favorable to move the article to List of United States four-star offices? Let me know that you thank. :-) Neovu79 (talk) 19:29, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:List of United States Army four-star generals

I did think about doing the peer review first, but for reasons unknown to me I nominated it for feature list status directly. I can withdraw, or you can (bit busy for a couple of hours I think, so if you still see it up there later, just point whoever to this conversation and say it's being withdrawn). The peer review first would be helpful for sure.--Nobunaga24 (talk) 00:53, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
