Bot report : Found duplicate references !

[edit]

In the last revision I edited, I found duplicate named references, i.e. references sharing the same name, but not having the same content. Please check them, as I am not able to fix them automatically :)

Discussion of merge elsewhere

[edit]

An unsigned post at Human Terrain System suggests a full merger of this article there. I am opposed to a full merge/deletion because HTS comprises more than just HTT. It is also the database MAP-HT, intelligence analyis of MAP-HT, and any possible structures not overt within HTS. HTT is not synonymous with HTS--rather, HTT is a subtopic, and HTS the parent topic.

I could see keeping them separate, but right now there is a lot of redundant information on Human Terrain Team and Human terrain system ... if you want to keep them separate, differences between the two will need to be elaborated. Harvey the rabbit (talk) 20:25, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Any possible structures not overt"? That is entirely possible, and very astute thinking. In fact, that is entirely possible for every single other wikipedia entry, because for any topic there just might be things that are hidden from our view. I propose that for every wikipedia article, parent topics be created to include the topic plus covert aspects we don't know about. 125.213.207.132 (talk) 22:38, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • This was the only discussion created regarding possible merger. The HTS page did not have anything. As HTS has had some personnel changes lately, it has come up on my watchlist. Merger is the way to go -- with proper edits to cover the concerns above. I'll do it next week.--S. Rich (talk) 12:45, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Text deletion

[edit]

The following was deleted from the text since I last edited:

"The architect of the program is Australian anthropologist and ex-soldier David Kilcullen, who characterizes the idea as "armed social work".ref name="NYT"/"

Any reason for this? I couldn't find one here or in the edit hstory.

Paula Loyd

[edit]

The last sentence of the "Controversy" section, and the death of Paula Loyd mentioned in the "Notable academic embeds" section, relate to the same incident. This is decribed here. I don't know if it is appropriate to link up these two mentions somehow, and if it is, how. Maproom (talk) 22:29, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, it's been done. Maproom (talk) 10:57, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that there is enough information on Loyd, especially in the recent Washington Post article, to start an article on her if someone wants to do it. If no one else does it, I'll try to start one in a few days. Cla68 (talk) 22:51, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute

[edit]

The article has a tag up top that it is disputed on the talk page, but I don't see any dispute on this page as of right now. The program is definately very controversial, and it was not a surprise to me to see the dispute tag...but there is not dispute outlined here. 12.200.52.10 (talk) 06:00, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
