Article is impertinent?
[edit]All - this article was erased. I brought it back. It maybe be badly titled, but the scholarship is solid. As a small example, there is a WW2 medal for serving in the "Asiatic-Pacific theater", members who served in any of the 4 operating areas are eligible. Another example: The US Army history is of the Asiatic-Pacific theater. user:JMOprof ©¿©¬ 15:15, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
- No it wasn't erased. But the title is incorrect. You may not have been aware I started a talkpage thread at WT:MILHIST after I redirected it. But if the title for the threater is 'Asiatic-Pacific theater' rather than 'Pacific Theater of Operations,' it should be at Asiatic-Pacific theater, which ties it to the list of U.S. Army theaters, with their associated histories, medals, etc, rather than a non-existent 'Pacific Theater of Operations'. Feel free to comment at Milhist should you wish. Buckshot06 (talk) 21:13, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

- Asiatic-Pacific Theater → Asiatic-Pacific theater
- China Burma India Theater → China Burma India theater
- American Theater (World War II) → American theater (World War II)
– To be WP:CONSISTENT with Pacific Ocean theater of World War II, Asian and Pacific theatre of World War I, South West Pacific theatre of World War II, South-East Asian theatre of World War II, United States theaters of operations in World War II, Mediterranean and Middle East theatre of World War II, European theatre of World War II, African theatre of World War I, Middle Eastern theatre of World War I, List of commanders in the Middle Eastern theatre of World War I, European theatre of World War I, African theatre of World War I, Eastern theater of the American Civil War, Lower seaboard theater of the American Civil War, Pacific coast theater of the American Civil War, Trans-Mississippi theater of the American Civil War, Western theater of the American Civil War, Balkans theatre, etc. These phrases are not consistently capitalized in reliable sources, so should be lower-case per MOS:CAPS and WP:NCCAPS. (If they were, then all the lower-case ones should move insetad; either way, we should not have half of them with "Theater/Theatre" and half with "theater/theater"._ — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 12:28, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
Other cleanup to consider, severably:
- It might also be desirable to move all these to use either "theater" or "theatre" instead of veering back and forth, but I would do that in a different RM if at all.
- Another issue is the conflict between "South-East" and "South West" with no hyphen.
- And the disambiguation conflict between "of World War II" and "(World War II)".
- Also, the content in the articles is veering back and forth between "theater", "Theater", "theatre", and "Theatre", often even within the same section.
- And there're similar inconsistencies in the relevant category names.
- Balkans theatre might actually be too ambiguous, at least conceptually, and might be better as Balkans theatre of World War I. But one thing at a time, I guess. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 12:28, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

- Support The term is sometimes but not consistently capped in sources. I don't see that this is necessary capitalisation per MOS:CAPS for these particular cases. I can live with the mixed spelling per MOS:RETAIN (anyhow who says Americans can spell? :) ). Probably drop the hyphen as uncontroversial (famous last words I heard somebody say). Balkans theatre/campaign for WWI/WWII would need some investigation. Cinderella157 (talk) 07:18, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
Summary Help
[edit]I have been working slowly over the past couple of months on Draft:Attacks on the United States, which obviously has several entries from this war (like the attack on Pearl Harbor and the bombardment of Ellwood. If anyone familiar with one or several of the attacks against the U.S. during the war, feel free to help perfect the summaries or help by adding additional sources/references.
Any assistance is always appreciated! You can find the World War II section in the draft here: Draft:List of attacks on the United States#World War II (December 1941–September 1945). The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 21:39, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
