Irish / Irish-American categorisation

[edit]

This article is currently tagged with Irish linkage but the article itself does not say anything on the subject. Before it is assessed it for WP Ireland, could someone add something to support the linkage to the article? Thanks. SeoR (talk) 15:22, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Someone needs to edit or revise the reference to the Americal Division as a platoon responsible for the My Lai massacre. A division is a large army unit of 10,000 men or more. A platoon is a small army unit of about 40 men. Lieutenant William Calley, the U.S. Army officer court martialed for the murder of Vietnamese civilians at My Lai was the commander of a platoon within the Americal Division. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.132.204.134 (talk) 09:59, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Academic omissions

[edit]

I'm surprised that there is no mention of O'Brien at Bread Loaf Writers' Conference -- or anywhere else he taught writing. I can attest that he was on staff there in 1988, because I sat in on one of his classes. -- llywrch (talk) 21:20, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
