From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm requesting a peer review for this article because I think it may be good enough to be raised to a B-class article. Right now the article is still a Start-class. If its not ready to become a B-class, what improvements need to be made so that it meets the B-class criteria?

[edit]

Many more in-line citations would improve the article greatly, for a start, but what about recent missions - Trans-Saharan Counterterrorism Initiative, JCET, all that kind of thing ought to be included. Buckshot06 (talk) 00:50, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I'll echo Buckshot06's comment about citations; the article is very under-cited at this point. Aside from that, a few other suggestions:

  • The "Green Beret" section, while interesting, seems out of place at the very beginning; I'd move it somewhere further down (at least past the history, and possibly into a broader section; see below).
  • The history breaks off rather unexpectedly.
  • The bulleted list in "Special Forces MOS Descriptions" would work better as a table.
  • No information about equipment?
  • Some more detail about the current operations of the SF would be good.
