Erik,
As you are in contact with Sandole, can you please ask him to fix the article in his report to AirLand Battle, as per https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=AirLand_Battle&diff=515849256... he has written AirSea Battle, and this is obviously not correct. But I guess it goes to show that no-one at the WMF really read the report or gave it anymore than a quick glance, otherwise this error would have been picked up by the appropriate person.
There are obviously other issues in his report which need addressing at the appropriate time.
Erik, whilst you are at it, can you please also have Sandole email permission-commons@wikimedia.org to confirm that he agrees to licence the report under the licence you uploaded it under -- this is required for all files where the uploader is not the copyright holder. If you like, let me know when he does this, and I can attend to it so that the file isn't inadvertently deleted in 7 days.
Cheers,
Russavia

Thanks Erik for your email which was full of spin, and which will be discussed later.
But for now, I need to present something that needs clarification from Timothy.
In reference to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Timothy_Sandole_-_Belfer_Center_Repo...
On Page 2 of his report he states the following:
"Articles I helped to create: Two Wikipedia articles, "AirSea Battle" and "Operation Olympic Games," were stubs before I contributed to them. A "stub" is an article containing only one or a few sentences of text that, although providing some useful information, is too short to provide encyclopedic coverage of a subject. I was inspired to add content to "AirSea Battle" and "Operation Olympic Games" because they are popular in international relations scholarship. The two leading voices on these issues, Andrew Krepinevich and David E. Sanger, happen to be Harvard graduates and affiliates of the Belfer Center"
Why is it when I look at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=AirSea_Battle&action=historyd... I not see Sandole in the edit history.
There is an edit at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=AirSea_Battle&diff=564567483&... did add a lot of content.
Is it true that Sandole is in fact https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Hcobb who according to his user page divides his time between Pacheco, Californiahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacheco,_California and Pune https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pune, has a website at http://www.hcobb.com/, is into fan fiction and feedbooks.
Or is there something else to it?
Cheers
