Talk:Rumsfeld Commission

GA nom on HOLD for 7 days

 * This article provides a decent quick-look at the topic. This topic deserves a much larger article. However, for the purposes of GA, it's OK to have a "broad overviews of a large topic"
 * I couldn't help but come away with the feeling that the critics' position was underrepresented; which raises significant POV questions. Some quotes from prominent critics would be welcome. The "Aftermath" section seems to thin even for a "broad overview."
 * Some sections were very list-like. You might be able to justify that, based on the "broad overview" nature of the article. However, it would help the article if you could improve this aspect.
 * A large amount of this material came from one source; this raises further questions about how broad the article's coverage is, and how well-referenced the article is. MORE SOURCES would be highly welcome.

I'm putting this article's GA nom on Hold for 7 days.

Drop me a line if you have any q's. --Ling.Nut 11:40, 26 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Hello again,


 * Before the 7 day period expires, I hope someone will take the time to discuss or address my referencing and NPOV concerns. I'm quite open to persuasion that my NPOV concerns are unfounded. In fact, I welcome such discussion. I honestly would regret having to fail the GA nom of an article simply because my concerns were unaddressed &mdash; and that would be even more regrettable if my concerns were unfounded. :-)
 * Question: What is NIE?
 * What does "compartmentalization of intelligence" mean?
 * Thanks --Ling.Nut 04:22, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your helpful comments. I have cleared up the NIE thing (it stands for National Intelligence Estimate and written a footnote for the "compartmentalization" line. I have also two sentences to the aftermath section; one explains the critics side that the report described what could and not what would happen; the other is the reaction of a more moderate group.  I agree with most of your comments but I don't have much time now to do a full-scale expansion of the article.  I would be happy if it became GA, but if you still have doubts, I can always renominate it at a later time.  Thanks, Joshdboz 02:07, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I really hope you'll find time to expand this; it's an important topic. PASS.--Ling.Nut 02:18, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


 * PS We just had a long hullaballoo over passing an article that relied too heavily on one source; you benefited from that discussion. However, I humbly but STRONGLY request that you find more sources! --Ling.Nut 02:21, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
