Rimpac 2008[edit]

Where is it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.191.88.53 (talk) 19:36, 21 September 2016 (UTC) RIMPAC 2008 is missing... Please add it to inform everyone it did indeed take place. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.199.215.1 (talk) 05:42, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled[edit]

The "Purpose" section looks subjective... Isn't wikipedia supposed to be informative?

Yea, what a bunch of crap. I like how whoever added the countries name didn't even use their formal names. "Communist China and N. Korea", Ooooh, bad guys!!!

I agree about the subjectiveness of the "Purpose" section... and it's not Muslim groups, it's Islamist groups. Not all Muslims are extremists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.223.231.88 (talk) 00:44, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Picture inaccuracy?[edit]

The "Sea Combat Control (19 July 2010)" picture, as indicated by the US NAVY website and the wiki file's image description states "Royal Australian Navy Leading Seaman Livingston Harrison, foreground, U.S. Navy Lt. j.g. Joe Spence and Columbian navy Lt. Cmdr. Anibal Limbo stand watch in Sea Combat Control aboard the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76)." However, the middle gentleman is clearly displaying a Chilean flag on his uniform, and not a Columbian one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mojodaddy (talk • contribs) 18:08, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the [[MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist|r

Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 19:50, 9 April 2014 (UTC)equest page for whitelisting]]. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.[reply]

'Exercise RIMPAC' or 'RIMPAC Exercise'?[edit]

The first one seams wrong — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:908:106C:C540:C15F:2E82:9224:65F (talk) 16:38, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Military exercises are generally preceded with the word EXERCISE or abbreviation EX, to distinguish from OPERATIONS (OPs). HalifaxRage (talk) 12:38, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox[edit]

The map is outdated as is the information. I am not changing the outdated information of the 2014 exercise just to tally the information with the map given for participants of the 2014 exercise. But it needs to be done ASAP. As a precautionary measure for any misunderstanding regarding information for the latest exercise, I have changed the heading of the infobox by adding the year. Please discuss with me if you want to undo the edit. SoloKnowHow83 (talk) 19:59, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
