US Government images are public domain and are not available for you to copyright. --rogerd 23:50, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Internal links sections

Please stop adding "Internal links" sections to article. 1) This is not a standard section header that is used in wikipedia, if you have a relevant article to reference, use the "See also" section. 2) Most of these aircraft were not operated by the Strategic Air Command, so this addition is not relevant. Please consider only adding constructive additions to articles. --rogerd 02:29, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Links to SAC

Please stop adding links to Strategic Air Command to topics that have no direct relationship to SAC. The only aircraft that were operated by SAC were bombers and tankers. Additionally, most WWII bombers were dropped from the inventory before the establishment of SAC in 1946. Please do some research before adding this incorrect content to wikipedia. --rogerd 16:10, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

I would strongly suggest that you do your research on just what kind of aircraft SAC did or did not have. I do not know what your credentials are but you are ill informed on the subject of the Strategic Air Command. The last B-29s to leave the inventory left in 1953. The last of the B-17 left the inventory leftr in 1949. The last F-51 left the inventory in 1948. the last F-82s left th inventory in 1951. the last F-84s left the inventory in 1956, the last F-86s left the inventory in 1959. There were RC-45s assigned as late as 1947. The last C-124s left the inventory in 1959. I could go on but do not wish to bore you with facts. R. E. Mixer 17:43, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Most of those aircraft you are mentioning (F-51, F-82, F-86, C-124) were operated by TAC or MATS, not SAC. According to the B-17 Flying Fortress article, "Following World War II, the B-17 was obsolete, and the Army Air Force retired the fleet'". --rogerd 21:01, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

You are correct however, they were not the only command that used them. The B-17 article is wrong. I do not wish to argue this subject further. Check out Strategic Air Command by Norman Pulmar and Timothy Laur. The first paragraph in the SAC article says the command had fighter until late in the '50s. I have authored three SAC books and have done the homework. Nice having chatted with you. R. E. Mixer 21:18, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion

Instead of adding [[Strategic Air Command]] to the see also sections of various articles about MAC, MATS and TAC aircraft, why not do something in the text of the article like this example of what you might add to the C-119 Flying Boxcar article:

The C-119 was mainly deployed in Military Air Transport Service wings, but was also deployed within Strategic Air Command wings, where it was used for....

or maybe:

The C-119 was operated by the Military Air Transport Service, and also in small numbers by the Strategic Air Command, who used it to ....

This would better achieve what I believe is your goal, to educate people about SAC and the role of various other aircraft in SAC's mission. That way, instead of another reader seeing your link and wondering "why the heck is SAC referenced there?", they would be able to read your text and know the reason for the SAC reference. Thanks --rogerd 22:49, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Strategic Air Command bases

I apologize. Your first message was followed almost immediately by a different message, so when I logged on and saw the new message notice, I clicked "last change" and saw the WPMILHIST newsletter instead of your message. Sorry for any inconvenience I might have caused. But good article on the SAC bases. --Nobunaga24 23:40, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Strategic Air Command wings

Hi Ron. I've been looking at your impressive SAC wings page, with its list of every affiliated wing ever involved with SAC. However it is a bit long and hard to read, and when I opened the edit view, it said it was over 200kb, far exceeding the recommendations at WP:SIZE. Would it be possible to split it in such a way that makes it more readable, maybe by separating Air National Guard SAC wings or something? Appreciate your thoughts. Regards Buckshot06 19:33, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Ron, thanks for your response. My talk page is actually at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Buckshot06

so I've moved your response there. Um, I've also referred this to the MilHist wikiproject's lead coordinator, user:Kirill Lokshin, so you can look at that page re this as well if you wish. Buckshot06 09:14, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Actually, what about what both I and user:Nick Dowling have suggested; reduce this page to a list, removing the size problem, and creating 108th Wings USAF, or something of the sort, if it's seen as useful to keep the history of the number together. Cheers Buckshot06 09:17, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

What I will do soon to reduce the size of the Strategic Air Command wings page is move the Strategic wings (MAJCOM wings) to the Strategic Wings page, unless there are better suggestions. Buckshot06 22:29, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Understand your point about changing -ruining?- the original intent. The thing is that in building such a record of every wing's contribution to SAC, the result is so long as to be unreadable. For what it's worth, the history will be accessible by anyone looking at the inidividual wing histories. The same thing could be attempted by cutting out a lot of the duplicated information - every ANG wing that got the KC-135 initially, and the repeated notes about the first eleven organisations assigned to SAC, and possibly re-arranging it as text. I'll have a think about how such a text rendition might work and run it by you. Buckshot06 21:52, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

If you want to set up extra pages focusing on Bomb Wings of SAC or Recce Wings of SAC etc you should note that in the page title - otherwise people may think these are the only U.S. wings of this type. SAC Reconnaissance Wings perhaps? Buckshot06 01:59, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More Wings Not listed and Suggestion

Page's intent is good, but execution needs refining. Would recommend just listing wings then linking to wing pages; if wing pages don't exist, create using a standardized template. Example on 705th Strategic Missile Wing. Need more wings not listed; strategic wings, strategic aerospace wings all above the 3-digit wings listed. Might consider changing page to a Category page like listed on bottom of 705th Strategic Missile Wing. If you want any help with the wing pages just give me a yell - I'll be happy to help TDRSS

[edit] Added Four Digit Wings Category

Type in 4950th Test Wing and click on the Four Digit Wings category at the bottom. Those wings have always had a special meaning to me, so I created a category. Feel free to add some SWs, SAWS, and anything else that fits. TDRSS

[edit] Hey Ron

Hope you had a good holiday... greetings from Down Under. Were you aware when you created list pages for the Tac & Training Wing and Strat Weapons Wing recently that there is already an article on the 99th Wing... under 99th Air Base Wing? Cheers Buckshot06 01:45, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD Nomination: List of USAF Air Refueling Training Wings assigned to Strategic Air Command

An editor has nominated the article List of USAF Air Refueling Training Wings assigned to Strategic Air Command for deletion, under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the nomination (also see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on why the topic of the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome: participate in the discussion by editing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of USAF Air Refueling Training Wings assigned to Strategic Air Command. Add four tildes like this ˜˜˜˜ to sign your comments. You can also edit the article List of USAF Air Refueling Training Wings assigned to Strategic Air Command during the discussion, but do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top of the article), this will not end the deletion debate.

[edit] A 'Specialised Wings' page

Saw your comment on the AfD above. I well understand that this must be really annoying for you to have the SAC Wings page chopped up, and I can see the issue you're facing. Would doing a 'Specialised wings of SAC', including all the entries with only one wing, like Tac & Training, ARTW, maybe, I don't know, if there were only two or three Strategic Fighter Wings?

Just a thought.

Also, I put all the 1700 series wings under the Provisional Wings page. Thank you for setting up that page, because I've never been clear what those wings were - MAJCOM or AFCON. The only other discussion to them, an article in 'Air International' in the mid 1990s, wasn't clear either. I had no idea they were a third category. Regards from Down Under, Buckshot06 17:46, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey thanks for the information on the Provisional Wings. Were they ever used before the 1990-91 Gulf War? Cheers Buckshot06 21:38, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Again thanks for the detailed info on the Prov Wings type use for Linebacker II etc. We now have four pages covering Provisional Wings, List of USAF Bomb Wings (P) Provisional assigneed to Strategic Air Command, List of USAF Strategic Wings (P) Provisional assigned to Strategic Air Command, and List of USAF Air Refueling Wings (P) Provisional assigned to Strategic Air Command. Were you meaning to make four pages, or to put everything into 'Provisional Wings'? Also, were the wings officially called '806th Bomb Wing (P) Provisional', or just '806th Bomb Wing (Provisional)'? Thankyou for answering my questions on this. Cheers from Down Under, Buckshot06 15:23, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey thanks for your note Mr Mixer. The nice thing about 'List of USAF Wings' page is that we can expand the average person's knowledge and explain that there were two separate (oops, three?, with Provisional?) types of wings. With your notes about the Guam rotations, did you mean that every wing deployed to carry out the bombing missions was redesignated 'Provisional' for the period that they were at Andersen AFB? Best regards again, Buckshot06 21:35, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Mr Mixer thanks again for your note on Andersen operations. I saw that you'd already added the 4133 Strategic Wing to the list. I think if you added one or two sentences of explanation, maybe something like what I've put at Provisional Wings, maybe, for Fighter Wings assigned to SAC, 'The United States Air Force assigned a large number of Fighter Wings to Strategic Air Command during several parts of SAC's history. These wings had the roles of X, Y, Z', (whatever the roles were)', people would not tag the articles as needing work. The reason people are tagging the articles as having insufficient context is that the articles you are creating from the SAC Wings page do not stand alone. All wikipedia articles should be able to be read and understood without referring to any other article. So you'd have to explain that the USAF had a command called SAC, and it had a number of fighter wings (link at that point to an article about USAF wings) etc etc. Please understand me here - I am not trying to criticise your efforts, merely trying to help you bring these articles to a standard so they won't be deleted. Regards from Down Under Buckshot06 19:48, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Mr Mixer, An administrator - Mailer Diablo deleted the Air Refuelling Training Wings page as per this discussion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_USAF_Air_Refueling_Training_Wings_assigned_to_Strategic_Air_Command This is wikipedia's normal Articles for Deletion (AfD) process. As both I say above and user:BC says below, it would be good if you added some lines of explanation to the top of the individual lists of wings. Then they would be in context, and probably wouldn't be deleted.

[edit] Lists of USAF Wings assigned to Strategic Air Command

Please stop the tagging of these lists as not having sufficient information the wings came from the SAC article and I can't see how the list does not have enough information in the title. POlease stopR. E. Mixer 18:23, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Whoa, wait a minute, I'm just trying to help your articles. The tags don't say your articles lacked sufficient information in the title; the tags mean the articles lack information that would give them context. Articles, including lists, should have a lead-in, or explanation about what the article/list is about (see WP:LIST#Lead section or WP:LS) and how it fits in with the "big picture". The lead-ins give the articles context. The titles do have somewhat of an explanation but for someone who has no idea what SAC is or what a wing is, or what the wings do, the article may be meaningless no matter how much information is in the article. Your articles should be able to stand alone to a degree, but with links that people could take that would give them more information if they were interested. There is a fairly good one-sentence lead-in in the article List of USAF reconnaissance wings assigned to Strategic Air Command, which is often all that is needed. You may wish to link somewhere to Wing (air force unit). Maybe there should be a separate article on Wings associated with the USAF (not a list, but an explanation about how wings came about and what they do) that could be linked to, if one doesn't exist already (I don't think one does). BTW, since I have an interest in military history, I think that your articles are interesting and have lots of good info. All the best. BC 19:59, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

There is no article about MAJCOM wings at the moment. I have added a section on the difference between AFCON and MAJCOM wings to the List of Wings of the United States Air Force article, on the request of user:Akradecki - you commented on my talk page on that section. There is also a category, Four Digit Wings of the USAF, which can be accessed through the category link at the bottom of the 4950th Test Wing article. I think you would probably be the best person to write a section on MAJCOM wings, explaining why and how they were formed, and when and why the USAF stopped using them.

[edit] Speedy deletion of List of USAF Composite Wings assigned to Strategic Air Command

A tag has been placed on List of USAF Composite Wings assigned to Strategic Air Command, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per CSD A1.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. Carter | Talk to me 09:35, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Wing_0091st_Strategic_Missile.gif. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Wing_0301st_Bomb_(B-47_Era).gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Wing_0301st_Bomb_(B-47_Era).gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:56, 8 November 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jusjih 02:56, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of ANG fighter wings assigned to Strategic Air Command

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article List of ANG fighter wings assigned to Strategic Air Command, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Wing 0022nd Bomb.gif

A tag has been placed on Image:Wing 0022nd Bomb.gif requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
