Defense Officer Personnel Management Act

 * ... that the Defense Officer Personnel Management Act instituted an "up or out" promotion system across the United States Armed Forces?


 * Symbol possible vote.svg New enough (created as part of "articles for Creation", made live on 2 December). Certainly long enough (9,000+). However the specific hook fact is not currently footnoted. I suspect that the main source (Rostker) will say it somewhere but that currently only footnotes the fact that "up or out" exists in the Navy. Up_or_out cites the same source but I would like to see a page reference for this not just the whole document. Wittylama 01:19, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback! Learning as I go...I added the page number and will edit throughout. Ramos37 (talk) 07:52, 7 December 2012 (UTC)ramos37 Page numbers added (and verified there there are no references to "Gibraltar")
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Sorry I didn't respond sooner - thanks for the edit. Good to go. I've also removed the hidden draft tags that were left at the top of the article from before it was a live article. Wittylama

I did have a few paras not referenced; I cleaned those up and found another source. Thanks all for taking the time to check my work. Ramos37 (talk) 05:39, 21 December 2012 (UTC) Footnote added. Ramos37 (talk) 22:54, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Numerous unreferenced paragraphs. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:38, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * While it is certainly true that the article is not comprehensively or densely footnoted, I disagree that there are numerous, or indeed any, wholly unreferenced paragraphs. Wittylama 04:25, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Looking better, but the first paragraph of OPA and OGLA needs a footnote. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:05, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Alright, looking good. Tick based on Wittylama's review. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:53, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
