The information contained in this article is covered in USS Namakogon (AOG-53) which is already wikified. (Note: that there is a variance in spelling. Wiki lists the ship as Namakogon as does the newer DANFS entry, not Namakagon.) Wikited 17:51, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Namakagon support:

Naval Register
DANFS
WWII construction records
The river, lake and town in Wisconsin are all spelled -kagon, although they vary in spelling the beginning: Namakagon, Wisconsin, Namekagon River, Namekagon Lake.

Can you link the 'newer DANFS entry'? I wasn't able to find one other than the one I linked above. Maralia 19:07, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Linked new Wikified material to this article. Wikited 19:58, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There should be no problem with this page now... Wikited 20:06, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good except your reference to the 'second DANFS link below': the second DANFS link is just a link to the index page, not a specific article. Maralia 20:51, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay now I'm thoroughly baffled - your link is to a page that is thoroughly Namakagon. Maralia 21:02, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Right... both links take one to Namakagon... Wikited 21:07, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In the first one it takes you to KAGON ... the second to KOGON... so you can see that DANFS has it both ways... Wikited 21:09, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are you calling this link NavSource Online: Service Ship Photo Archive - AOG-53 Namakogon the 'second DANFS link'? That link is not DANFS - it's a third-party, non-Navy source, as I mentioned on your talk page, so it's probably not that relevant that they have misspelled it. Maralia 21:15, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're right... I mis-spoke. I usually throw in that second link since it contains photos that the Wiki page readers might want to see of their ships. Wikited 23:46, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
