Hey Dogg, well I was heavier handed than I intended, but that's how it went. Thanks for the kind comments on the book. I'd like to offer to you, and anyone with questions/comments about the edits I made, to feel free to contact me directly at jonp@combinedfleet.com. As for DC, yeah, that's likely--dunno when, though. Tony and I just spoke last week at the Pritzker Military History Library (www.pritzkermilitarylibrary.org), and you can view the webcast of the talk from their site if you get yourself a login. Just an FYI.
I found your edits on Richard E. Fleming#Postwar myths and clarifications regarding Fleming's attack very interesting reading. Would you please provide reference(s) for the information. Thanks —ERcheck @ 02:09, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Richard,
First, you can read the actual citation of Fleming's MOH--it clearly states that 1) he missed, and 2) he crashed near the ship. Second, if you want to read an account of the Japanese side, see my book, Shattered Sword: The Untold Story of the Battle of Midway, pp. 362-363
Cheers,

Sorry to bother you, but I'm just finishing a dissertation on the Pacific carrier doctrine of the Americans, and was wondering if you knew who the Yorktown's (CV-5) radar operator was at Midway, since he seems to be rather good? (see pg 293 of your book). Thanks --J.StuartClarke (talk) 16:53, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Rogue wave, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. -- DonIago (talk) 14:06, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
