Talk:Chuck Yeager

Bizarre wording

In the section about honors etc the article currently says: “Despite his lack of higher education, he has been honored in his home state.” This, as it reads, cannot possibly be what is meant - it’s perhaps a hangover from previous edits. Can someone who knows the topic please reword to avoid this monstrosity? Thanks! Best wishes DBaK (talk) 18:20, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

Post-retirement promotion

From the Washington Post Chuck Yeager obituary:

He retired as an Air Force brigadier general in 1975, although in an honorary gesture, he was promoted to the rank of major general in 2005.

This should be included in his Wikipedia page.

I absolutely agree, I'll try and look this up and see if I can find any WP:RS covering this topic. Thanks for the heads up. -MaximusEditor (talk) 03:24, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Hamlin High School

The hyperlink leads to a high school in Texas, not the high school in Hamlin, West Virginia that he attended. Ywburns (talk) 03:07, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Ed Dwight

The only information that you have is from Ed Dwight. However, all the records from the time show that what Ed Dwight says in the documentary and in his book is false. General Yeager spent a lot of hours and got his professors to spend a lot of hours just to get Ed Dwight thru the school. General Yeager did not have say over whom NASA picked but they picked the top of the class, not the bottom, where Dwight was. Contrary to Dwight's excuses, everyone tried to help Dwight get thru, not avoid him. The Black Caucus from Congress investigated and exonerated Yeager and praised him. So please remove this self-serving sour grapes of Dwight. He became a great sculptor - a better place. He just wanted the publicity of being an astronaut, not wanting to better the program. There were far more talented black pilots than Ed Dwight and they speak highly of General Yeager

Victoria Yeager was not an actress at the time she met General Yeager. She was a consultant for non-profits. She had an MBA in finance from Columbia University.

Victoria Yeager won also against Susan Yeager - all her charges were found to be false.

Why does Wikipedia accept the other editor and not my edits - mine are based on facts, not politics and misplaced political correctness. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Victoria20201 (talk • contribs) 07:42, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
