battle for credible, respected information

Thank you, user with the punny name who wants refreshingly no less than "to improve Wikipedia's much-maligned reputation, and transform it into a credible, respected source of research and news information", for quality articles such as Battle of Kursk and Operation Barbarossa, for patrolling new content and copy-editing, for sharing the Million award - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

[[No Gun Ri Massacre]]

I have started to look at the article No Gun Ri Massacre and the edit history I notice that you made [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=No_Gun_Ri_Massacre&type=revision&diff=673654887&oldid=673654474 this edit] at 16:22, 29 July 2015 with the comment "I doubt anyone will have a copy of that particular paper on hand". Did you try a Google search for the heading "Captured North Korean document describes mass killings by U.S. troops"? I did and it seems that the paper is archived online:

My mistake I was confused by your edit history comment! I thought you were deleting it not adding it.-- PBS (talk) 16:25, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

:Totally fine. As this is the single most confusing incident I've ever gotten involved in, I've made plenty of mistakes myself. GABHello! 16:33, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

:At a later date, I do plan to go back and add URLs for convenience. GABHello! 16:34, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
