Talk:102nd Intelligence Wing/Archive 1

On hold
I have failed the GA nomination for this article, as I feel that it has too many flaws to be taken care of in one week.

 * One-sentence intro is far too short. It should be expanded to maybe two paragraphs.
 * Too many subsections in History section. Either expand the "Origins", "World War II", and "Cold War" sections or remove those subheaders entirely.
 * "Berlin Crisis" subsection is unreferenced, are the next several subsections below it ("Post Cold War", "Global War on Terror", "BRAC 2005").
 * "End of an Era" isn't exactly a neutral header. Maybe "Final operations"?
 * I don't think that references can be placed in headers, as is done under "Previous Designations" and a couple other headers.
 * None of the refs use citation templates such as cite web. References 9 and 11 are bare links.
 * Too many lists. Could any of the lists such as "Units assigned" be turned to prose?

Second GA review
Transcluded from review page:

Pre-GA Comments
This is a good article, but still seems to lack a number of requirements for GA-Class. Here are a few of my concerns:


 * The lead is still not concise enough, per Eye Serene's last comments
 * Entire sections have not been cited, which is vital to attaining this level - See Cold War and most of World War II
 * The title still isn't a great explanation - moving it to '102nd Intelligence Wing (United States) might be a better idea
 * References need combining
 * No citations for aircraft used by the Wing, except for one section which has a citation in the title, which it should't have.
 * Grammar still needs a good copyedit.

This really needs work done to it before it can pass as GA, and I fear as EyeSerene said last time that you've nominated the article too soon before the last review for any effective editing to have been done. Skinny87 (talk) 19:58, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Motto
How come the motto is listed as "Vir Omnis Tigris" when the patch (and numerous web references) state that it's "Omnis Vir Tigris"? I suggest to correct the infobox entry and move it from List of Latin phrases (S-Z) to List of Latin phrases (M-O). -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 02:51, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

102d
I'm assuming that this means "hundred second Intelligence Wing". Why is it "102d" rather than the more normal "102nd"? DJ Clayworth (talk) 20:18, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Air Force Historical Agency has a document that shows the use of "d" instead of "nd" or "rd" as follow-ons to numerical designations. Its about as authoritative a document as I can find. If you're really curious, put in a Freedom of Information Act request to the agency and get an answer. TDRSS (talk) 19:16, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

FOIA Bear Intercepts
You could possibly get a list or at least a number of Tu-95 intercepts from the unit. That could give more validity to the 102d's Fighter Interceptor mission back in the day. Also a list of commanders of the unit would be very helpful. (forgive me, my keyboard is going crazy right now); air force outstanding unit awards have general order numbers attached to them, as well as a date. Those can usually be gained from the unit or the National Guard Bureau (official and valid verification and references). TDRSS (talk) 11:46, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

NPOV
The headline 'Global War on Terror' is obviously not NPOV. Arebenti (talk) 12:31, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
