Help me!

Please help me with... I noticed that Copiague has no reference #1. When I go to the editor, the numbering scheme is different and starts with #1. How can I fix it? Thanks Littenberg (talk) 00:35, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

I'm not sure there is anything here that needs to be fixed, at least not in the way you are thinking about. Footnote 1 appears next to the Area entry in the infobox.  jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 00:56, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
Damn! I looked there, but didn't see it. Thanks for your help. Littenberg (talk) 11:26, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

July 2025 GOCE drive

Nice job with your copyedits of Vasil Tole and Melanocytic nevus (and Rosa Parks (!!), which I haven't properly checked yet). For future reference, you accidentally removed a BLP sources tag on Vasil Tole, I've restored it but next time remember to keep those on :). Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 20:13, 6 July 2025 (UTC)

@GoldRomean Thanks for the BLP catch. Cheers! Littenberg (talk) 00:18, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ  Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

USAF units are never deactivated

I notice you have made a number of edits referring to USAF units being deactivated. This is not a proper term for any USAF organizational action. See Ravenstein, Charles A. (1984). Air Force Combat Wings, Lineage & Honors Histories 1947-1977 (PDF). Washington, DC: Office of Air Force History. ISBN 0-912799-12-9. Retrieved December 17, 2016. for a list of proper terms.
