General Zukov
I think someone may have copied and pasted your userpage info onto their own, see User: General Zukov. Kinda weird. I don't know if this should be reported to admins but I thought you should know. Bluebonnet460 (talk) 15:55, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks.. I'm kind of curious how you figured that out, and really appreciate you letting me know! --CutOffTies (talk) 15:59, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
- He participated in a discussion that I've also participated in so I looked at his UserPage and his contribs - they don't match. So I clicked on the photos he said he created and they lead me here. Voila! Bluebonnet460 (talk) 16:03, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
- I had also mentioned this topic at WP:AN#Attribution when I came across it. I was about to notify you, but you've already obviously seen it. Jezebel'sPonyo 17:48, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks Ponyo! Belated congrats on your successful RFA! --CutOffTies (talk) 18:07, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

- Hey, just to let you that I've roped in an Admin (see → User talk:Atama ←) who's well-versed in SPI to help out on the article page. --Dave 19:35, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
Ambassador Program: assessment drive
Even though it's been quiet on-wiki, the Misplaced Pages Ambassador Program has been busy over the last few months getting ready for the next term. We're heading toward over 80 classes in the US, across all disciplines. You'll see courses start popping up here, and this time we want to match one or more Online Ambassadors to each class based on interest or expertise in the subject matter. If you see a class that you're interested, please contact the professor and/or me; the sooner the Ambassadors and professors get in communication, the better things go. Look for more in the coming weeks about next term.
In the meantime, with a little help I've identified all the articles students did significant work on in the last term. Many of the articles have never been assessed, or have ratings that are out of date from before the students improved them. Please help assess them! Pick a class, or just a few articles, and give them a rating (and add a relevant WikiProject banner if there isn't one), and then update the list of articles.
Once we have updated assessments for all these articles, we can get a better idea of how quality varied from course to course, and which approaches to running Misplaced Pages assignments and managing courses are most effective.

Draft Dodger
I am The-Expose-inator and you continue to remove my well sourced statistics on who actually served in Vietnam. As a VN Draftee who actually extended there, I was struck by the lack of minorities in the Combat unit I served so I did the research and was surprised at what I found. Minorities were actually under represented in the Army and in country during the Vietnam era. When you use the term "raw data," what other kind is there when you're talking about demographics of the the people who actually served in Vietnam. You can check out my sources because they are most credible to be found. You might not like the facts but they are the facts. If you want attack this article, there are plenty of factually incorrect parts you should start on which are NOT sourced but seem to conform to your point of view.
