Incorrect deployment information

[edit]

The deployment information is wrong for the Oct 2001 strikes in Afghanistan. First strikes were launched on Oct 7th 2001, not Oct 4th 2001 and the Roosevelt was not on station yet. They would arrive on Oct 15th 2001. The aircraft carriers that launched the first strikes into Afghanistan were the USS Carl Vinson and USS Enterprise. It would be more accurate to say the USS Roosevelt joined the attacks in Afghanistan upon their arrival in theater.

Please remove the following from the 2000's section:

On the night of 4 October 2001, USS Theodore Roosevelt and CVW-1 launched the initial strikes of Operation Enduring Freedom against al-Qaeda in Afghanistan from the North Arabian Sea.

and replace with:

On October 15th 2001, Theodore Roosevelt and CVW-1 entered the North Arabian Sea and joined the already present Enterprise and Carl Vinson in conducting attacks against al-Qaeda in Afghanistan for Operation Enduring Freedom.

Reference is the official US Navy History and Heritage Command page.

 Done Chappy48e, thank you for submitting the correction along with the relevant citation information. The correction has been made and the citation added. The initial date of October 4th, seemed to come from a reference to an airstrike by Tarbox, according to the "About Us" page on the same website.

Ranks

[edit]

This issue was corrected. My apologiesUpmostlizard (talk) 23:34, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Upmostlizard: - No apologies needed. I believe you're referring to this edit...? And with it, you added; https://www.defense.gov/Resources/Insignia/ in your edit summary. I would suggest adding supporting refs directly to your edit in the article, or at least in a talk page post, like you created here. The only other thing I would add is that sometimes WP's style may not be the same as the article subject's style (sometimes, WP even seems to conflict with WP, see; here for example, in regards to ranks). Just make what you think is the best edit, and if needed, ask about/discuss it on the talk page after, it usually gets worked out. Hope this helps - wolf 05:47, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
