Talk:1st Filipino Infantry Regiment/GA1

Source đź“ť

49: 435:"In November 1943, the Regiment paraded through Los Angeles, with Carlos Bulosan, the influential Filipino author of America Is in the Heart, there to witness it" is supported by an article from the Asian Journal. In order to be a good source, you'll probably need to know at least who authored the article, and add that into the citations. 630:"One example was 2LT Rafael Ileto, who lead a team in the Alamo Scouts." - I wasn't sure why Ileto was singled out like that: if he was unusual in some way, it is worth saying why; if he was (and no disrespect to the units concerned) just another junior officer, it seems odd to mention him specifically. 16:17, 19 July 2011 (UTC) 273:(b) it provides in-line citations from reliable sources for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines; 520:"However, the activities of the Filipino Infantry Regiment and her sister units have gone largely unpublicized; it was not until the documentaries Unsung Heroes and An UnTold Triumph that any significant visual media covered the history of the regiment." - again, five references supporting an average length sentence. 594:
Deployment. This felt a little bit thin. Is this all that happened to them in Papua New Guinea and Leyte during the war? What else happened during the "mopping up" operations? You've told a good story about the unit, and I suppose I was keen to hear what happened when they finally got deployed. Could
346:
Some of the choices for sources for particular references are a little odd - e.g. "Key Events in the Presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt" as a source for the date of the fall of Manila - and left me wondering why a standard history text book wouldn't have been a better choice on some occasions.
386:
Footnotes 30, 31 and 32 are talking about a film; they aren't really sources in and of themselves (although the film itself could probably be used as a source). To be honest, though, you don't need them - the figure of 7,000 is uncontroversial, and footnote 33 gives you a citable source for it. I
280:
The article suffers a little from overciting. Essentially, for a lot of your material here, which is in many cases uncontroversial in nature, you just need to give a single source for a statement. If you give too many citations, particularly if you're giving them each their own footnote, the
242:
There a number of other small copy-editing issues. Depending on what you prefer, I can either list them here, and you could make the changes, or I could change the article directly - I don't mind which way round we do it! 16:17, 19 July 2011
499:"Finally in the Philippines, the regiment conducted "mopping up" operations on the island, Samar, and other islands in the Visayan islands group" is supported by seven different references - could you achieve the same with just two or three? 544:
Infobox: you list the commander as Colonel Robert H. Offley, and give four different references for this. Again, unless it is controversial who the commander is, you don't need four citations - one high quality one will do.
133: 639:
is singled out as he is a regiment member, but at the same time one of the few Regiment members who became independently notable on his own; he would later become the Vice Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the
129: 114: 106: 455:"Soldiers of the regiment faced discrimination in Marysville while off post from neighboring Camp Beale, as the businesses stated they did not serve Filipinos." - again, four citations feels excessive. 54: 321:
You don't need to have references in the lead, unless its a direct quote or similar: anything in the lead should be in the main body of the text and referenced there: but its not a requirement
411:"While at Camp Beale, there was a mass naturalization ceremony of 1,200 soldiers of the regiment" - there are four citations then backing up this single statement. Do you really need all four? 294:
the number of references listed below, and at most have kept two references max. Presently the article has two exceptions; they are the after the following sentence, or sentence fragments:
206:
The infobox contains information not in the article - I'd recommend you don't give infobox information (e.g. their commander's name) without adding it to the main article as well.
122: 59: 87: 297:"... in 1924 naturalization of Filipino Americans had been barred, as it was determined only aliens could be naturalized and Filipinos at the time were nationals." 99: 248:
Either way works. If one wish, for sake of cataloging changes related to the GAR, perhaps the requested changes can be listed. I also ran the article against
77: 475:"One example was 2LT Rafael Ileto, who lead a team in the Alamo Scouts." Again, three references for a single short statement - you only need to choose one. 270:(a) it provides references to all sources of information in the section(s) dedicated to the attribution of these sources according to the guide to layout; 181:
OK - first go through complete. There are some bits to fix, and an option on the copy-editing side - let me know how you'dl ike to play it!
719:
Images fine. The captions have unnecessary full-stops at the end, which runs against the MOS, but that isn't a formal requirement at GAR.
611:
Unfortunately, there is not significant data, or in depth data relating to their combat operations, thus the briefness of the section. --
17: 202:(b) it complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation. 82: 305:
Given that these maybe challenged in the future, having more than 2 references should help the stability of the statements. --
347:
On the other hand, the date is uncontroversial, and you may not have a text book to hand, so for GAR purposes, I'm content.

Unfortunately, each reference pertains to a single island operation, therefore, the references are needed. --
674:
Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.

To ensure stability, I do not see the harm of keeping references in the Intro Paragraph. --
249: 595:
you give a "main article" wikilink to the campaigns, perhaps, or something like that?

2007; please let me know if there are any places that that program has missed. --
199:(a) the prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct; 367:
an additional, possibly more standard source for the statement in question.--
226:
