GA hold issues
[edit]- lead is way too short, only one sentence, it should summarize the article
- very little on his pre-West Point life, needs expanded
- footnotes usually come after punctuation, not in the middle of a sentence
- Footnote one points to the flipper article, it is not a reference
- the quote at the bottom of the his class needs a ref
- the narrative footnotes are confusing to follow
- full dates need wikilinked
- red links should be removed
- solo years don't get linked
- find more refs is possible and link more things, like LA could be linked

Ryan?
[edit]Why does the lead refer to him as Ryan? Was it copied from somewhere else or what? — Rlevse • Talk • 13:59, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
- I can't remember exactly. No one has caught this before though, which is odd. Corrections made. BrokenSphereMsg me 20:00, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
