24th Infantry Division (United States)

Article is a GA nominee, looking to get it to FA eventually. Please pay special attention to referencing and sources, they seem to be the biggest obstacle. -Ed!^(talk) 03:13, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A very nice article, overall. A couple of questions and suggestions:

Is globalsecurity.org the best available source for the division's later career? I would have assumed that there must be more conventional coverage of the Gulf War in recent literature.
- Replaced globalsecurity with two book sources. —Ed!^(talk) 16:48, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
"A division in name only" seems a bit glib for a section title.
- Changed. —Ed!^(talk) 16:48, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The article needs to be copyedited before moving to FAC; there are a lot of sections where the prose is very choppy (likely due to sentences being split along source lines).

Keep up the good work! Kirill ^[talk] [pf] 23:52, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Although the section on WWII is probably long enough already, you might consider using the following online sources to reinforce the information you already have and to check for any important details that should be added:

Thank you for the extra sources. I will look through them to see if there is anything I missed. —Ed!^(talk) 16:50, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Abraham, B.S.

Just a few points that stick out:

In the infobox, the presentation of the endashes is inconsistent, with the first being spaced and the following two not. Please make all three consistent.
- fixed. —Ed!^(talk) 16:52, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Level headings should not begin with "the" per MoS.
- fixed. —Ed!^(talk) 16:52, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The "Honors" section is completely without any references. Please remedy this.

Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 06:41, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mostly very minor points:

In the lede the word Division is capitalized and shouldn't be. (The Division then participated in post-war...)
- fixed. —Ed!^(talk) 17:27, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
In the Cold War section, the parentheses should be removed and the sentence reworded. I have a "thing" about parentheses used in sentences. Abbreviations are OK but if it could be stated in words, it makes much smoother reading.

There shuld be a link used with the phrase ...Square Division TO&E... similar to the one used for Triangular Division TO&E, Pentomic Division and ROAD.

Those were the only things I saw that detracted from the article, the link being the worst offender. Very good work, I can tell that a lot of effort has been put into the article. Good luck and Cheers... Cuprum17 (talk) 23:43, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
