"William FitzAldelm De Burgh" appears to be a genealogical confutation of William FitzAldelm, one of Henry II's officials, with William de Burgh. I've rewritten the article to be about the official and moved it to the proper name. As regards Burkem, a more permanent solution may be necessary, simply because he edits for about a day every month and then goes silent. I was considering filing an RfC when I saw this latest batch; might that provide sufficient basis for a longer block (which I'm afraid is the only thing that will get through to him at this point)? Choess 06:03, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
He might have started stubs for some early Earls of Ulster we didn't have yet, so I don't think his contributions have been 100% fake. And the blocking has, in fact, gotten him to say something on his talk page. I've tried to engage him there on the unacceptability of the Charlemagne->William de Burgh part of the genealogy. That's enough progress that I'm content to be patient through another iteration or two of the usual. Choess 19:22, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Oh dear. Well, we're making progress. Essentially, the ancestry of William de Burgh (d. 1204/1205) is still *very* murky, despite various confident assertions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, so I've cut the genealogy off above there. I haven't checked the rest (and I confess I don't have a copy of The Complete Peerage easily to hand, so I'm to some degree forced to rely upon discussion in soc.genealogy.medieval, nevertheless a very reliable source, despite being Usenet), but there's nothing that looks obviously wrong about it, and I wouldn't expect the 1890 book he's working out of to get it wrong. (Genealogies like that are least to be trusted when trying to link the family of interest to some prestigious ancestor, but other than that are usually not bad). Anyway, the succession box on Charles the Younger looks like a misunderstanding, rather than pushing the particular piece of bad genealogy: Charles the Younger did have some regal authority during his lifetime as King of Neustria (not of the Franks), so he may deserve some sort of succession box. I'll have to look into it. The genealogy is quite ill-formatted, and he should probably be reminded that WP:ISNOT a genealogy site as such and pointed at http://www.wikitree.org/ or something similar, but some of the material in the genealogies (Clanricarde, for instance) probably deserves incorporation into the encyclopedia, although maybe in different format.

Need your help
Sorry for the procrastination butmy keyboard is still busted so I was hoping you might be able to update the portal this month. I thought I might be able to get it fixed intime but it has turned out not to be possible. I will leave the right side ofthe page for you but I will say that I am a fan of the 15th MEU and the Harriers photos for the left side. Again, I apologize for the delay but I was hoping I would be able to make the contributions myself. Thanks--Looper5920 10:51, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Military history of Puerto Rico
I want to thank you for the copyediting that you've done. Could you look over the "Vietnam War" section and see if it need anything done? Another request, could you see what can be done with the "Military installations section in Puerto Rico" I don't know but (someone else added it a lnog time ago) it has always seemed like it could be improved. Thanks Tony the Marine 18:01, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
I think that someone already bumped that section from the article. which is fine with me. Tony the Marine 01:43, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your note about the Lew Walt article in Life magazine. (I actually had left a help query here for you yesterday, because I could not get the magazine image to show up, even though I've done this sort of thing many times on Wikipedia; it finally worked, however, so I went back and deleted my help request.)
Yes, I have the magazine right here, and will mine it for information and a choice quote or two. By the way, a historian named Hoffman is writing a biography of Walt.
Also, I also have a USMC photo of Walt at Quantico in 1945.
Hi, yes, I think the USMC Quantico photo is public domain; that is, I think it's a USMC/US government photo. I'll put it on the site early next week. If you wish, I'd be happy to send you a photocopy or a scan of the Life article re: Walt. If so, to what address?
Hi again, I just added the photo of Lew Walt at Quantico, ca. 1945. I didn't list his rank in the photo caption, because I'm confused as to whether or not he was a Major or a Lt. Colonel at the time. Is the only difference in the lapel and garrison hat insignia the color of the oak leaf (gold for majors, silver for lt. colonel)? It's a B&W photo anyway, but I'm just curious about this matter. Perhaps you could add the correct rank to the Quantico photo? By the way, I spoke with a relative of General Walt who told me Walt was buried in Quantico National Cemetery, not Arlington; so I changed this information in the article, and included a citation linked to the V.A. grave site web page, which does indeed show him as buried in Quantico. --Skb8721 15:29, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

RE: Article & Link Deletion
Thank you for your review and contributions to Wikipedia. I do have a question/concern about the removal of two articles: Kenneth Suggs and Gilbert, Heintz & Randolph. a) Kenneth Suggs is the president of ATLA - largest group of lawyers in the world. He is routinely used by CNN, NBC, NY Times, and other media outlets as a legal expert. He has been published throughout his career, including law text books. Now perhaps the information I was able to post did not fully explain his contributions to the legal community and to ATLA, the SC State Bar, and other legal organizations. I will be happy to make any suggested edits, but I do feel that he is worthy to be included.
Regarding Gilbert, Heintz & Randolph. If wikipedia is going to allow smaller law firms to post profile information, Sandrige and Rice for example, then GHR should be permitted. GHR has been PROFILED (not just mentioned) by Legal Today, Lawyers Weekly USA, Wall Street Journal, NY Times, and others. They are a very well known firm - particularly in asbestos litigation - and have received the most prestigious awards in the legal community. We are talking about one of the top law firms in the country, recognized as such, a frequent player in the media, with some of the best attorneys in the nation. So, again, I will have to respectfully disagree with your removal. In comparison to the Wikipedia guidelines, and other firms who have been listed, GHR clearly should be included. Any recommended edits/comments are welcome.
You were 100% correct to remove the Cerebral Palsy link. I apologize for that inclusion. Frankly it was out of frustration as I continue to remove other commercial links that are added to that page, and they continue to be added by others. At the time that I inserted the link I felt 'if you can't beat them, join them'. My apologies, and thank you for the removal.
Ok William de Burgh was thier in the geneaology he's shown as the first Lord of Connaught son of sir Reyner de Burgo. then it means you didn't look at ver colsley. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Burkem (talk • contribs) 12:52, 10 October 2006
Burkem
Also, I was planning at some time in the near future to add more info about his Navy Cross and Silver Star, for which I have copies of his citations, and to mention his work with the U.S. Olympic rifle team, etc.
I will add some of this info later today or tomorrow.
It'd be terrific if you nominated the entry, as you suggested.
Incidentally, McIlhenny is standing right next to Lew Walt in the Quantico photo (you can see this if you compare the photos of McIlhenny and Walt at Quantico on their respective pages); they were extremely close friends.
I see you already added the citation; I didn't know that was available on the Internet! Also, I like the "sidebar" you added summarizing his career. I'll get on the McIlhenny Company reference shortly.
I've now added some material about McIlhenny's business career and personal life. --Skb8721 21:02, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Check out the helmet and sword photo I added to McIlhenny's article. I forgot I had that image until today!--Skb8721 18:38, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Loon the Schoon
Your recent warning to LoontheSchoon for his edits to The Dark Knight are welcome and I thank you. However, I also looked at his userpage. He's a 15 year old who has published his full name, home town and WAY TOO MUCH personal info, making it quite easy to find him in the real world for any potential predators. I know that WIki has A policy about this, but I don't know where to find it or how to act upon it. I know admins get enough hassles and 'wikiwork' to do, but can you please follow up on this? Thank you. ThuranX 05:21, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes, see User talk:Mr Stephen, where I've been discussing a plan for dealing with this. (Part one, I go to the library and assemble a well-referenced, irrefutable genealogy of the Burkes based on the modern genealogical-historical consensus and settle the question for good. Part two, we try to get mentorship or something for him to improve the quality of his edits — they are improving, but at a great cost in energy for those like ourselves who have been correcting him.)

Nigger
I was not in any way trying to disrespect anyone. The picture I posted was given to me by the man himself. He does not mind having his picture on a page about niggers. Just because "Nigger" is a racist term doesn't mean it should not have a visual representation. There is like 50 paragraphs talking about the word why is adding a picture of it such a bad thing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cubfan111 (talk • contribs) 02:27, 19 October 2006
Take a look
I've been making some additions to an article which I wrote sometime ago. It is about Rear Admiral Frederick Lois Riefkohl and I would like you to take a peek. I became a little facinated with his story and this led me to write about German immigration to Puerto Rico. My stepdad. who raised me was a Puerto Rican-German. Take care.

Help and ideas needed
Hi,
Sorry you've been spammed, but I hope you'll find for a good reason. I've noticed you are active around the recent changes arena (normally having beaten me to a revert), and I'm currently looking for help with a new project. I would like to harmonise all the warnings and templates we issue, with goal to creating a standard look, format and content to the messages. Even if you use VP, VS or any of the other vandal tools out there, I still feel this is worthwhile. Please visit here for further information, and leave me a message if you're interested, or tell me to get lost ;) if you haven't the time. Regards Khukri(talk . contribs) 13:38, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you, my friend
Thank you for looking over my German related articles and for fixing Admiral Horacio Rivero's. My health hasn't been all that great lately but, I want to share this is latest e-mail which made me very happy:
Dear Tony Santiago:
I would like to notify that I received the confirmation of Mr. José Pagán, Public Affairs Officer, that indeed Captain Manuel Rivera and Captain Humberto Roque complete the requirements to be included in the list of soldiers at the Memorial Monument.
If you have any questions you can contact me at [omitted]. You can also write to my e-mail.

Thanks from ProfJeFF
Thanks for looking over Foetry.com, determining that the article is not advertising, and making the citation adjustments that you did. Oddly, or perhaps not, my students are doing better work than I am when it comes to footnotes and whatnot (they're all at work on individual poets...Foetry.com is a separate project). I keep wanting to use in-line citations as though I were writing a traditional paper. With your references there as an example, I think I'll be able to produce the same sort of references with much greater ease now. With appreciation - ProfJeFF 00:39, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I'm very happy to have them working on things here. The assignment is to find a poet (preferably one whose work they enjoy) who is either not represented on Wikipedia or who could stand to have a great deal more information included. They're to comb through the available biographical and critical information on that poet and post here (not violating the original research policy, of course, but as university students they have easy access to scholarly journals from which they can draw critical appraisals of the poets' works, not just the blurbs available online). This way their research actually benefits someone instead of just being busywork for a grade. I won't say which poets are being worked on, as that could lead to destroying their (relative) anonymity, but I've been very happy with them so far. All the best - ProfJeFF 01:45, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Re:Additional edits and question
Everything you've done looks great. I couldn't agree with you more in regard to the ribbons in Humbert Roque Versace's infobox. I don't know who put them there, but they sure do not belong in the infobox. Be my my guest and do me the honor of removing them. I also added the MoH citations to Hector Santiago-Colon, Euripides Rubio and Carlos Lozada. Could you look them over.
I want to consult this with you. You already know the story behind me getting the names of Captain's Humbert Roque Versace and Manuel Rivera inscribed in "El Monumento de la Recordacion" in San Juan. How do you think that we can mention the fact that their names will be inscribed on Memorial Day on May 2007 in their articles when the only sources of confirmation are the e-mails between myself and the Governamnt of Puerto Rico? If you like, ask Loopers opinion also on this. Tony the Marine 01:19, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Would you do the honors of the posting? Tony the Marine 02:17, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Oh yeah, take a close look at the image of Rafael Celestino Benitez. I enlarged his image in order to try to determine which were his decorations and I believe that his Silver Star Medal, which is below his sub wings, has a star. In which case would indicate that he was awarded more than one Silver Star. Tell me what you think. Tony the Marine 02:30, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Request
Buddy, I really need you to take a look at Rear Admiral Rafael Celestino Benitez's image. If I'm not wrong, the Silvber Star ribbon under his "Sub Wings" contain a star and he may have been the recipient of two Silver Star Medals. I also asked to other people to take a look to hear what they think. Cheers Tony the Marine 05:36, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
There's definitely a device there, most likely a star. Rlevse 18:37, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes, he was awarde two Silver Star Medals. I zoomed the image a bit and there is a gold star. Navy, USMC & CG wear a Gold Star for each subsequent award. Even though I can't find a source that states it, the image should be a source within it self. I'm sure that it was because of the USS Cochino incident, but since I can't proof it, I'll only state that he was the recipient of two Silver Stars. What do you think? Tony the Marine 19:59, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
I added some more info about the admiral and mentioned the fact that he was awarded two Silver Stars (since it is in the image}. Could you look it over and do the copyediting? I will try dig up some more info and find out the "why" of the medals. No, I'm not opposed to the military info box. I just like adding my personal touch (smile). Eventually, I'll change them, just like I did with the few MoH articles that I wrote. Tony the Marine 01:39, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Re:Questions
Thank you for looking into the article.
1. He entered the Academy straight from H.S.
2. The rightful reference in regard to his first Silver Star came from this New York Times article [[2]].
3. That is the pity. I can't find anything what decoration he may have been awarded for his heroic action in the USS Cochino. Between you and I, and this is off the record, that is why I suspect that he may have been awarded his second Silver Star. However, that is my speculation, which is unverifiable.
Hey, you know what? The office of U.S. Congressman Jose Serrano got in touch with me. I think that they may name a street of Carlos Lozada and that they would like me to be persent.

Me, always with the piggy-backing onto other people's comments. I couldn't find out what he was awarded 2 Silver Stars for, so I called his startled son and asked him. He said he would have to ask his family and get back to me, but at least that would be a starting point for you, all personal research aside. Once we have the information, it might be easier to hunt down published sources for it. He also asked if we'd contacted the Naval Academy and asked them and I thought that I had read that someone planned on doing that, but did that ever come to fruition? --ScreaminEagle 14:47, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Unwarranted move
User:Wonton2ton moved Bhumibol Adulyadej to Bhumibol Adulyadej, the Great. This is an FA. I undid it and left this on his talk page (basically): "You can't just rename an article. You have to put in a move request and get it approved. Discussion and consensus needs to take place. Also, Your new name for this article does not follow wiki naming conventions, ie, leave off "the great"." Is this enough or does another action need to take place here?

I would put a note on the article talk page, but I fear it'd just inflame the Thai royalty fanatics and start a round of article renaming. We had a lot of trouble getting it to FA because of editors who abhor any criticism, even if neutral in tone, of the King. Let's just see where this goes, hopefully just die away. Wiki policy is to use real names for royals without titles such as the great.

Thanks for uploading Image:David M Brahms - USMC - retired.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
OrphanBot applied an incorrect tag to an image. See [5] — the image had tag {{PD-USGov-Military-Marines}} already on it; the bot tagged it with {{no copyright holder}}. Why is the bot misidentifying licensed images? — ERcheck (talk) 18:24, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
The image has only the simple assertion that it is in the public domain. It needs source information so that it's possible for this to be verified. --Carnildo 22:06, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Noticed that you'd previously warned this user twice regarding vandalism... Yesterday and today, two of us removed several items of vandalism from the Bob and Tom Show article.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your love ones. This year I have the whole family over (last year my daughter, son-in law and little Nina spent it in Iowa). We'll put up the Christmas decos after dinner.
Congrats on the DYK. I'm going to work on some of the MoH's soon. I created a Category: Recipients of the Silver Star medal and added some names. Maybe you know of some people who were awarded the Silver Star medal and who do not have that cat. on their pages. You can help me out by adding the cat.
Check out the bio that I wrote about Pvt. David M. Gonzales. One of the interesting things that I found while writing this article is the fact that according to the news release, Congressman Breman took all of the credit for correcting the mistakes of the subjects photos and decorations, while it was his aide Flores the one who really did all the work.
Thanks for your work on the Gonzales article. I just finished an article on MoH Philip Bazaar. I did the best that I could with the little info. that there is about him. Tony the Marine 03:30, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
Bronze Star list and bullets
Thanks for the message. I'm correcting both now. Got in too big of a hurry with that list. Reb 19:55, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

USMC Bio needing your touch
Just came across William R. Higgins and it needs alot of work. Since you are the bio guy I thought I'd see if you have the time to fix it up. If not I'll take a crack at it when able. --Looper5920 02:04, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Got another article for amending. I just rated this one as Start but it is right on the cusp. Take a look at Littleton Waller for me. Just needs some cleaning up, proper refs, etc... and it will be good to go. I would say that if you get the chance to clean it up then change it to B class yourself. Cheers.--Looper5920 11:10, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Another one needing work but I don't think you will be able to do much with this one.... Louis J. Carpellotti.--Looper5920 10:27, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Could you have someone rate Military brat? Ps, I'm one! The main author asked to go over it before he FACs it. Rlevse 00:35, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for all of the work and help on the Military Brat article. Balloonman 06:03, 1 December 2006 (UTC) Thanks for your editing and assistance on this article.
The female members of the Scouting project would like to advertise that we cover Scouting. Some countries consider Girl Guiding as a bit different from Scouts and some project members want to recruit more females to work on the Girl Guide/Girl Scout articles. Our portal and Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Directory/History_and_society#Social_organizations listing say we cover Guiding, but what else can we do? THanks. Rlevse 18:48, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
