Talk:Jason Dunham

Failed "good article" nomination
This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of May 22, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:


 * 1. Well written?: English is flawless, but the amount of actual article kind of text is very short.
 * 2. Factually accurate?: Accuracy of the events seems correct.
 * 3. Broad in coverage?: Very limited; biography basically just a snapshot of his last years; Dunham's personality is completely uncovered; much of the article is just reference lists; background of the events unexplained.
 * 4. Neutral point of view?: Long citation from President Bush seems propagandist and adds no value to the article. No analysis of Bush Administration motives to start granting the Medal of Honors again after such a long break.
 * 5. Article stability? Little changes in the last few months.
 * 6. Images?: Images are official and formal, making his sacrifice feel remote and the brutality of his death distant.

When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to a GA review. Thank you for your work so far. — Drieakko 15:10, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Sounds like a disdain for President Bush is a factor in your evaluation. A Medal of Honor citation is not "from President Bush" and is not propaganda. In fact, it is the standard in Medal of Honor recipient biographies on Wikipedia, (see Joseph J. McCarthy, amongst many others.) Bush Administration motives to start granting the Medal" (of Honor)? How about wartime? It was last granted under President Clinton for service in Somalia.


 * Perhaps, now that a new President has been elected, we can fairly evaluate this article on its own merits, ignoring our disdain for George W. Bush and the Iraq War? Windyjarhead (talk) 10:18, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

I would also add that the article feels like "Jason Dunham's Medal of Honor", not "Jason Dunham". The person himself seems to completely disappear behind the honor he was granted. --Drieakko 15:16, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Information regarding Cpl Dunham's kevlar remains

 * Recommend also stating that Corporal Jason Dunham's kevlar remains are NOT on display at the Marine Corps Museum, in Quantico. They are there; however, I was informed today that they are being witheld from public-viewing when I visited the museum today. Comm.school (talk) 01:44, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
