GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    Piping the link to Jeep with "¼-ton 4x4 trucks" strikes me as odd, especially since the common name is so well known.
     Done Changed to "jeep" Hawkeye7 (talk) 00:50, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Might be good to note that MSTS Sgt. George D Keathley is a transport - the first time I read it I wondered why we were italicizing the name of this master sergeant, and why he had to carry all that ammunition ;)
     Done added text. Hawkeye7 (talk) 00:50, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Shouldn't "post–war" be hyphenated instead of the n-dash? Compound words usually use hyphens.
     Done fixed. Hawkeye7 (talk) 00:50, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Same as above: "semi–barbarous" - there are others that should be addressed as well. Of note, the Spanish–American War should keep the n-dash.
     Done fixed. Hawkeye7 (talk) 00:50, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    The quote "I fired him because he wouldn't respect the authority of the President. I didn't fire him because he was a dumb son of a bitch, although he was, but that's not against the law for generals. If it was, half to three–quarters of them would be in jail.[103]" is too short for a block quote. Check the rest for short quotes like this.
    No, according to WP:MOSQUOTE: Format a long quote (more than about 40 words or a few hundred characters, or consisting of more than one paragraph, regardless of length) as a block quotation The quote is 49 words long. Hawkeye7 (talk) 00:50, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    I understand quotations are valuable in this article, but there are probably too many. You may run into WP:QUOTEFARM objections at ACR/FAC.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
    Images all check out.
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    The article is in excellent shape, just a few things to fix before it's ready for GA. Parsecboy (talk) 22:15, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
