Talk:United States declaration of war on Germany (1941)

wrong picture

The picture in the article is wrong. As can be ssen on the site of Library of Congress this is Roosevelt signing the declaration of war against Japan, not against Germany. -- Perrak (talk) 15:08, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Justification for edits

This section is for User:Master of Time to justify his changes to the article. Beyond My Ken (talk) 06:38, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

These are the very edits I would have normally not made if not as part of a more meaningful edit (not to say I haven't before, but that would be atypical as of the recent past). Honestly, the fact that you reverted them doesn't mean much in terms of literal content because they are mostly rather trivial, but I take issue that some person watching this page was so upset by them that he just popped in and started reverting with snappy edit summaries, which certainly didn't do my own mood any favors. Aside from modifying a link to Japan (the modern state) to point to Empire of Japan, I added a non-breaking space, updated a pipe to match a current title ([[German declaration of war against the United States (1941)|Germany declared war on the United States]] → [[German declaration of war against the United States|Germany declared war on the United States]]; removed the "(1941)") and switched three piped wikilinks from abbreviations / minor variants to their normal / long-form titles (this being the most trivial, in honesty, and constituting the following: [[United States Senator|Senator]] → [[United States Senate|Senator]], [[U.S. Senate|Senate]] → [[United States Senate|Senate]], and [[US House of Representatives|House]] → [[United States House of Representatives|House]]). Now, I normally think that it is sometimes better (in some, but certainly not all cases) to use direct links when there are pipes except for redirects with possibilities, redirects pointing to anchors, sometimes with cities, etc. The three U.S. Congress changes? Despite my views, I wouldn't have made them at all if I hadn't already been making the other edit (the Japan one). At best, I think Beyond My Ken might have had some argument if those had been standalone edits, but they weren't. I embedded a few trivial changes with my more important (albeit minor) changes, and BMK reverted them anyway (first wholesale, including the primary change, then selectively). I just don't see why it is an issue. Master of Time (talk) 07:23, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
