You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
2011 Norway attacks. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
In particular, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue edit warring, you may be blocked from editing. I have no opinion on the text you are placing (about Muslims being spat on) but it is clear that you are edit warring: you have placed the text at least six times, and at least three different editors have opposed it. You would be advised to desist and start a discussion on the talk page about this. RichardOSmith ( talk) 12:49, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi there,
I have no problems with the Henderson book, per se. The prose in it is a bit flowery and there are no footnotes, but Henderson did have direct access to Gunny Hathcock so that makes up for some of the shortcomings and most of what he has written is corroborated by other sources. I feel his writing (in both Marine Sniper:93 Confirmed Kills and Silent Warrior) comes off a bit more like a novel than an unbiased military account, but I would not go so far as to say he has published anything that is not true. My objection to that section were the "Cafe Press" type entries, as these are little more than self-published blogs with no editorial oversight. As for an article on "Apache", she's definitely an intriguing character. An article could be written, but I do not believe there is any source revealing her name, date of birth, or any other personal data of that nature. From what I have seen we can say she lived, she was Vietnamese, she lead a platoon, she was a sniper, she tortured Marines, and Gunny Hathcock killed her. I am not even sure without rereading the source material if the date of her death was given. She's mentioned in both of Sasser's books which mention Hathcock, Chandler's book, and both of Henderson's books. There might be a few magazine/newspaper pieces about Hathcock that mention her. If you feel you have enough to get something started, go for it; I'll try to help if you need it.-- Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 16:16, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
