Talk:KATUSA
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I started this article. It's been edited a bit since then, but for the better. This says that this article does not cite its sources, but what I originally wrote was all first hand experience from my time in South Korea. I'm willing to bet that whoever edited it also got thier information from first hand experience. Can anyone say how it is you would cite yourself?
- I know what you mean. I often make edits from first hand experience in the military. What they are looking for is a link or a reference to back up what is written. For instance, use google, search for KATUSA, then check some of the pages that come up. If you see information that backs up what you wrote, put the link in brackets like this -- [http://wwww.whatever.com] and it will appear in the article as a footnote like this -- [1]. There is an endnote citation format, but for now, that is the easiest way.--Nobunaga24 04:30, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- I've noticed the same problem myself with a lot of edits I've done. It was repeated to me by some KATUSA's I worked with back in '75-'76 that they came from wealthy families who bought their way into the KATUSA program, at least the ones who were serving at the Joint Security Area. It may have been different for the 2ID units, as we had easy duty. -- wbfergus 18:59, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
