This page is for administrators and trusted editors who watch the open wiki. Most of the roster is historical; watch for spam, blanking, unsourced invention, '''and''' private living-person details that should not stay public.

== Privacy and takedown ==
Treat these as urgent (same day when possible):
* Social Security numbers or other modern identity numbers
* Street addresses, phone numbers, or email for living people
* Gallery uploads that expose private modern documents (medical, banking, full modern IDs)
Remove the text or file, leave a short edit summary (“remove private contact”), and if the request came via [[Contact Us]], reply that it was handled. Contested historical facts still belong on Talk; private contact data does not.
Public note for families: [[About#Corrections_and_privacy]].

== Featured Main Page portraits ==
The Main Page thumbs rotate automatically each week. To change '''who''' can appear:
# Open [[Featured pool]] (administrators only — edit-protected)
# Add, remove, or reorder bullets (one soldier page title per line)
# Save. Purge [[Main Page]] only if the old set still shows after a refresh
You do not edit the Main Page itself to rotate features. Details and line formats are on [[Featured pool]].
