To clarify, the only unsourced statements I saw were in Pre-dreadnought battleship--but that was the only article I looked at that you had edited-- =D --but regardless, thank you for your effort. the_ed17 11:57, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List of United States military leaders by rank

Re: edits made here to List of United States military leaders by rank. See Wikipedia:MOS#Strong_national_ties_to_a_topic. "American" is a more appropriate adjective to describe that war, instead of "US". — MrDolomite • Talk 23:15, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Canadians consider themselves to be Americans; US immigration officers at the POE (Point of Entries) asked for US citizenship; North, Central, and South Americans are not to be confused with United States citizenship. US military canteens, and other uniform items are marked US. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.114.0.105 (talk • contribs) 00:56, May 4, 2008
    • While I do not disagree that there are many instances where "US" is used instead of "American", probably properly so, American Civil War is the name of the article on WP. The other names for that conflict have been linked back to American Civil War so that the naming is consistent throughout WP. Because it is so wide ranging, a larger forum such as Wikipedia talk:MOS would be appropriate to discuss a naming style change. — MrDolomite • Talk 13:17, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
