monument link
I see where you are going there, but given the sentence structure, I would expect the link to go to the individual: "...and includes monuments to..." and then states names, only one of which is linked to a monument. I'd recommend rephrasing and linking them all to the monuments or leave as is. See Wikipedia:LINK#Piped_links under Intuitiveness for more details. — BQZip01 — talk 13:58, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
Supe list
Please see talk:List of United States Military Academy alumni (Superintendents)#rename/move. Thanks. --rogerd (talk) 22:10, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
- OK, fine. But I don't understand why it can't become an FL with the name I suggested. But I will leave it up to you and him. --rogerd (talk) 01:29, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
USMA alum
Glad to have you help on this. The large sections like MOH will be sublisted. We leave 5 as a sample and will then start the sublist. Which 5 is not a big deal but I like to choose famous or the more interesting ones for that. Your choice is fine of course. Glad to have the help. — Rlevse • Talk • 01:11, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
- Understand. Foley and Bucha are both well known, especially since they are the last two living USMA MOH awardees. MacArthur and Wainwright would be more famous that Titus, Nininger, or Robinson. I hadn't given it much thought about narrowing the list to 5. Let me think it over some more. Every USMA MOH awardee has a large plaque with their citation inscribed on it here at the academy. They are placed at various places around campus. It might take me a while to track down all 74 of them, but I could probably do it. Do you think it might be something worth including on the main list, next to each name or reference citation? Ahodges7 talk 02:03, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
- I started List of United States Military Academy alumni (Medal of Honor), use List of United States Naval Academy alumni (Medal of Honor) as a guide. The USMA set needs LOTS of work. The MOH one has several red links on people so they all need at least stubs. The list on wiki seems to have most of the USMA MOH people. What do you mean by " Do you think it might be something worth including on the main list, next to each name or reference citation?"? Include what? I chose Robinson because he was the first and he was a drop out. Titus and Nininger had neat stories. I can't stand MacArthur, though Wainwright is cool. What USMA class are you from? — Rlevse • Talk • 02:35, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
- See item a in general refs: List_of_United_States_Military_Academy_alumni_(Medal_of_Honor)#References, seems to have a good full list with stats and more. — Rlevse • Talk

- I'm class of 1998. The plaques I was referring to look like this one, which was MacArthur's. Do you think there would be any value added to photograph all of them and somehow include them with each reference?
- I think it'd cause spacing problems to include them in every ref as there is not much to say about some of these guys. The older MOH citations tending to only have one or two sentences. Maybe putting it in a few of them where there is lots to say, like Mac, and/or can you add something to the lead about the fact that WP has these and then we can find a spot for the pic of Mac's plaque. — Rlevse • Talk • 15:04, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
- Agree on the spacing issue. The plaques quote the official MOH citation only besides the Officer's name and class year, so some of the Civil War and Indian War awardees are pretty short. The plaques are spread out all over post, with some in academic buildings, some in the mess hall, some in the barracks. It actually might be neat to try to track them all down and photo every one of them. Hmmm, sounds like a new hobby coming on... Ahodges7 talk 01:17, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Find a grad problem
I got a "friends" account at the online WPAOG so I could verify graduates (like the Gilchrist dude who was a dropout and became Gov of FL but many sources say he's a grad, but he's not) but it has a problem. It only goes back to WWII or so. Is it not complete of limited to living people? Do you have access to a printed or online complete db such as the Cullum file? — Rlevse • Talk • 15:16, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
- It's living people only. I'd have to pay to get the whole thing and I'm not doing that. I told them Navy has them beat on this, anyone get look up their alums, name and year only, for free without an account. So, do you have access someone? — Rlevse • Talk • 16:22, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
- Give me a few days on this, I'll take a look at it and head over to AOG if needed. I supposed that can access any particular grad. Perhaps I can work something out. Ahodges7 talk 01:29, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
- "Just go to: http://www.library.usma.edu/archives/special.asp and expand the Biographical Register section. There you will find that each volume (the first covered over 50 years of graduates and the remainder cover 10 years each) has a name index at the end that can provide the “Cullum Number,” order of merit sequence of graduation to access the appropriate file. I think that beats Navy by miles. You won’t, however, find non-graduates, like Gilchrist in there, but it may help with research on others." From a guy at AOG. Send me an email and I can forward it to you. — Rlevse • Talk • 10:36, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
MOH Count
SOurces say there are 74 MOH alum, but I'm counting 81 (see our USMA MOH list). Even throwing out the nongrads (4 I think) there are still more than 74. — Rlevse • Talk • 18:57, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
- Honestly, I've never tried to count them. Not sure where the disconnect is since there haven't been any new awardees since Vietnam. I believe that Versace was awarded his many years later, and perhaps others were in the same manner after the 74 number was published or became well-known. Ahodges7 talk 18:30, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
- I went through and counted them and if you don't count the non-grads or those who earned the MOH before they were cadets, I get a total of 75. Versace received his posthumously in 2002, so perhaps the # of 74, which had stood since Bucha's award during Vietnam, has become the number oft quoted, but now incorrect? Ahodges7 talk 22:50, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
- That's it. I used to keep a MOH site and hunted MOH imposters. Versace was recent, so the # 74 is obsolete. We should clarify this in the lead. I'll take care of it. Feel free to copyedit. — Rlevse • Talk • 20:01, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
- See if you agree 75 after they graduated, 1 before admitted (Titus), and 5 non grads (Robinson, Tompkins, Daly, Donlon, Gardner) = 81. I broke it out in the footnotes. — Rlevse • Talk • 20:08, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
- Agree. Looks good to me. Ahodges7 talk 23:41, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
- Uh oh. Bourke, Civil War enlisted, Class of 1869, we need to nail the count down for FL. — Rlevse • Talk • 01:57, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
- I'm doing a tally here: User:Rlevse/Todo — Rlevse • Talk • 02:13, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
- Hmmm. see that link. I think the 74 number is correct after all, for MOHs earned after graduation. What do you think? — Rlevse • Talk • 02:18, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
- Looks good to me. I'm glad you listed them all out and categorized them. USMA is pretty big on graduating, so I suspect the 74 number would not include non-grads. Kinda of surprised the "enlisted" ones are not counted, since they did graduate, but it must be because the numbers work. Ahodges7 talk 02:33, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Wilby
What is wrong with Wilby's pic? There's plenty of room for pics on that page. — Rlevse • Talk • 03:12, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
- Nothing wrong with Wilby, but he wasn't someone who stood out to me as being famous or having made major contributions to the Academy. Feel free to put it back in. As with most former Supes, he does have a street named after him here. Maybe my screen resolution is different than yours, but on my screen, I was running out of space and he didn't make my list. Again, your better at this stuff than I, so feel free to put him image back if you think it should be there. Ahodges7 talk 18:27, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
- Set your screen res to 1024x768. — Rlevse • Talk • 20:02, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Bio register
Awesome resource: [1]. Cullum would be good too if you have access. — Rlevse • Talk • 10:30, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
Barron
I can't find a good ref on Barron that says he was Supe, only a good one that says he was math dept head. — Rlevse • Talk • 22:34, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- That's because he never really was the Supe. I did a little deeper digging. Here's the timeline according to Ambrose (1966) and Crackle (2002):
- June 1803: Williams resigns over a dispute between himself and the artillery cdr at WP over who has command of the post
- June 1803-April 1805: Superintendency falls to the next Engineer in seniority, MAJ Decius Wadsworth, who is often away supervising engineering projects on the eastern seaboard. Because of his absence, the next senior officer, CPT Barron, mathematics instructor, is in charge. A bachelor, he apparently allows mutliple prostitues to live with him under the cover of being "house servants".
- Feb 1805: Wadsworth reposted to New Orleans, academy is Supe-less
- April 1805: Williams returns as Supe, but is often away of the next few years, just as Wadsworth was, so Baron continues to run the place.
- Jan 1807: Baron is finally brought up on charges of deriliction of duty and neglect of the academy and chooses to resign. Williams begins to spend more time at the post to shape it up.
So I guess we need to ammend the Supe list to have Decius Wadsworth as Supe from 1803-1805 and remove barron. The Crackle reference (Bicentenial History of West Point) is found on p 60-66 and Ambrose (Duty, Honor, Country) is p28-29. Ahodges7 talk 12:35, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
- See refs for wadsworth I made in the list. — Rlevse • Talk • 01:24, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
- Looks good. I added an accessdate to the Crackel reference. Ahodges7 talk 01:53, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
- Accessdates are for the day you accessed a web cite. Is this on a web site somewhere? — Rlevse • Talk • 02:23, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
- No its not. My bad. I removed it. Ahodges7 talk 12:14, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

- Hmm, Wadsworth sort of has an article: Wadsworth's cipher. His name redirects to it. Maybe you could write at least a stub on him and link to the cipher article. I'll update the supe list and the supe template. — Rlevse • Talk • 00:36, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

- I nominated Charles Henry Tompkins for 6 April. How does it look? Ahodges7 talk 03:55, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
- As the reviewer said, it's too short. There's 1500 characters of prose requirement. — Rlevse • Talk • 11:11, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
- I'm still new at this. How to you count the prose? I've expanded it quite a bit since last night. Is it long enough now? Ahodges7 talk 14:47, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
- Go to my monobook and copy the page size script. "Page size" shows up on the left pane toolbox. It says Tompkins is at 1140 or so, add a bit more. — Rlevse • Talk • 16:16, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
- Man, I'm so stupid when it comes to this stuff, I still don't know what you're talking about when you say "go to my monobook". Sorry. I've expanded Tompkins quite a bit. I think its good now? Ahodges7 talk 00:41, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

PD
commons:File:Emory J. Pike.png is not your work. It is not your work because you uploaded it or scanned it out of a book. It is a work of the photographer. In the case of Pike's photo, it's PD because it was published before 1923 and also PD because it's a US Gov photo. I've changed the tag to the US GOV one. You need to change the source to the URL you copied it from (preferably a WP one) or book you scanned it from, etc. Do likewise on the other photos you uploaded. Let me know if you have questions. — Rlevse • Talk • 02:15, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
- OK, how's my update? I seem to get myself in trouble with photos. I don't know if you recall the big dispute that occured over several of the photos during the USMA FA candidacy. For example, the official photo of LTG Hagenbeck was under dispute because his official biography website did not list the author. Ahodges7 talk 03:16, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
- Much better. You should probably review other photos you've uploaded. — Rlevse • Talk • 11:13, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
Monobook
Every user has a page in their userspace called a monobook. It has to be username/monobook.js and is a place to store javascripts that are wiki plugins. I've added several scripts from my monobook to yours: User:Ahodges7/monobook.js. Set a watch on that page. You'll start seeing new options in places, like a peerreview script when in edit mode, popups when you mouse over certain things and now in the toolbox on the left navpane a "page size" option. Click that when you are viewing an article and you'll see page stats display. — Rlevse • Talk • 00:57, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

MOH lists
Looks like your two DYK noms are going to make it. Another thing you may want to do is, as you make the new articles, make sure the file name matches what the main MOH list, such as List_of_Medal_of_Honor_recipients_for_the_Indian_Wars, is pointing to. For example, if you name the article John Doe Smith and the MOH list points to John D. Smith, it'd still be a redlink. But pls concentrate on finish creating MOH articles first. — Rlevse • Talk • 15:16, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

McClernand
"before graduating from West Point in 1867. He was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the 2nd U.S. Cavalry upon graduation from the academy on June 15, 1870"...where's this 1867 from? He can't have graduated in both years, I think 1870 is correct. — Rlevse • Talk • 00:30, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
- Good catch. I misread the source. I've reworded, it now reads: "He spent his early school years in Jacksonville and Springfield before graduating from West Point in 1867. He was assigned to the 2nd U.S. Cavalry in 1870, beginning nearly nearly 30 years in various assignments in the American West." Ahodges7 talk 00:34, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

- The arlington reference says 1867. I assumed the date difference was for training and an unmentioned assignment. If AOG say s 1870, then the arlington 1867 must be a mistake. Ahodges7 talk 00:37, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
- Hmm. Check Cullum, prob the best source. — Rlevse • Talk • 00:40, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

- Roger. Misunderstood the standard. I'll fix the others. Ahodges7 talk 01:41, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Dave Richard Palmer seems cut and pasted from one source
For a few hours, I'll defer from tagging the entire page as copyvio, but you need to re-write or quote this text. BusterD (talk) 11:09, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
- Tag as you wish, but respectfully, the entire entry is not cut and pasted, though some is. Admittedly, nearly the entire page's information comes from one source because I simply have not had a chance to modify and augment with more sources. For whatever reason, there is little on the web that I can find about this individual despite his prolific career as an army officer. If you noticed, I annotated on my initial edit when I started the article that I was going to the USMA library today to acquire his published work to get more information for this article. I will work to paraphrase it more later today when my work schedule, which is pretty busy right now, permits. Thanks. Ahodges7 talk 13:47, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the quick rewrite and the inline cites. Looks great. Nice to have an active AOG member working on these pages. Welcome to Wikipedia! BusterD (talk) 20:47, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

USMA TFA
Good idea. Spruce it up, some things like poor formatting and refs have crept in. — Rlevse • Talk • 17:34, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
I caught up
I've caught up to you guys creating articles for USMA Supes. I've filled in bios and refs for all but the 9 remaining who need articles, ATTACK! ;-) — Rlevse • Talk • 01:27, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, Attack!, very Attack!...I've been busy offline. I'm cleaning up Berry right now. Don't think I'll start another tonight. I checked out the most recent (2008) hardcopy register of graduates, which is a great source of info. Keep it up I haven't seen any more traffic on the FLC for the MOH list...

- Yea, the FLC has been very quiet for some reason. I'd like to post this one before Monday if possible. I pinged BusterD too. — Rlevse • Talk • 03:02, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
- Do the USMA Supes have their own logo or do we just have the standard USMA logo for this article? — Rlevse • Talk • 11:49, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
- No special logo. Regular USMA crest will do. Ahodges7 talk 15:11, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
