WWI Coast Artillery units in France
This page and this one are back after several months hiatus. Much of Rootsweb was down due to response to a hacker attack. Anyway, these pages have more info on the CAC's heavy and railway artillery units in WWI than I've found anywhere else. The first page in particular gives a lineup of the CAC artillery regiments that served in France, though coverage of individual regiments varies considerably and much is personal recollections. As you've seen, many of the CAC regiments duplicated the numbers of field artillery regiments. "America's Munitions" does discuss the railway gun production issues, but not as concisely.

Two coast artillery battalions
I've done one article and linked to another about coast artillery battalions whose function was similar to a regiment. I'm thinking these two battalions belong on the artillery formations template. These are the 27th Coast Artillery (United States) and 261st Coast Artillery (United States) (which is a redirect to 198th Signal Battalion (United States), which includes their lineage). The 27th was the sole Coast Artillery (HD) garrison of HD Bermuda 1942–44, and the 261st was the National Guard part of HD Delaware 1941–44. The 261st was notionally a regiment as of April 1940, but was reduced to a battalion on activation in January 1941. For the 27th, a 27th Artillery (CAC) regiment existed for two months at the tail end of WWI, and that would also go on the template if we want to include units with only a brief existence. What do you think? RobDuch (talk) 00:16, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
- I'd go for it. There are a lot of units that have been downsized over the years. The worst that can happen is having someone disagree with us.--Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 01:39, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Major Massias
While an interesting historical figure, the criteria for coverage (WP:GNG) require that he be discussed in (usually multiple) WP:RS. Unfortunately, the website that you linked appears to be WP:SPS, and not reliable. Without RS we can't have an article on him. buidhe 00:09, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Black Chamber (novel) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Black Chamber (novel), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

I have sent you a note about a page you started
Hello, Gaarmyvet
Thank you for creating Railway operations, American Expeditionary Forces.
User:Eddie891, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:
Thanks for your work! It's a little bit unclear in the article what the railway operations actually did, could you maybe expand in the lede (be a bit more specific what support they actually provided)?
To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Eddie891}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ .

Eddie891 Talk Work 15:15, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
@Eddie891:, thanks for your note. The page is admittedly a work in progress. During the centennial of the war, I had hoped for more input from the milhist group. I'm currently working on the page for the 11th Engineer Regiment in my sandbox. Histories about WWI are amazingly spare on what the guys behind the front lines did. I'll take a look at plussing up the lede.--Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 20:34, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
