There is a serious problem with this article. It omits any reference to his time as an editor of Veterans News Now or VNN. Here is the link from Veterans Today announcing his affiliation with VNN: https://www.veteranstodaynetwork.com/2012/07/james-m-wall-joins-editorial-board-of-veterans-news-now/

Because I work for the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America, I will not edit the article. I will however, provide information for editors to post use in their edits of this article.Dextervanzile (talk) 18:28, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is an error in the article. It declares the following: "He was a Contributing Editor from 2008 until July 2017 when his name was removed from the Century's masthead, both in print and online."

In fact, Wall's name was not removed from the online edition of the publication. This link here still lists him as a contributing editor. In other words, his name has not been removed from the magazine's online masthead.

Just trying to be of service!

Follow up on James M. Wall's affiliation with Veterans News Now.[edit]

Follow up on James M. Wall's affiliation with Veterans News Now.

Currently there is a "unreliable source?" tag next to the assertion that Wall served as associate editor for Veterans News New from 2012 to 2017."

The proof for this fact is an article I wrote. I am simply appalled that someone would regard me as an unreliable source. Sometimes I get stuff wrong, but I correct when it's pointed out.

And no one involved with this controversy has ever challenged me publicly on this fact.

But I shall transcend my bitterness of spirit and in a spirit of helpfulness (It's Advent!), provide two other data points to prove Wall's affiliation with VNN:

First, there is the archive of Veterans News Now at the Wayback Machine. (I have tried to enter it into this comment, but it has been blocked by Wikipedia because of its reference to Veterans News Now. You can see for yourself at the Wayback Machine, however. Also you can see this tweet where I screenshot it.^[1]

Secondly, there is a comment on Christian Century's website ^[2].

This comment refers directly to his involvement with VNN.
