Eberstadt Report
I did a bit of Wikification of your article. I recommend that you include Ferdinand Eberstadt in the opening paragraph. You probably should drop the "federal government" from the first sentence, as Wikipedia is international and there are tons of federal governments. I added some internal links, especially to some of the names on your list of commission members. --Pat (talk) 22:32, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

The intel reforms box in each article will have to indicate it involves only US reforms. The Taylor Report link in the box takes you to a 1989 British commission report, not a 1961 US report. fyi. --Pat (talk) 02:13, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:FerdinandEberstadtWiki.JPG}
Thank you for uploading Image:FerdinandEberstadtWiki.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:FerdinandEberstadtWiki.JPG)
Thanks for uploading Image:FerdinandEberstadtWiki.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:25, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

New Nav Box
I have taken the stuff in the table in your Eberstadt Report article (and the related articles) and turned it into a navbox template which could be used at the bottom of all the related articles. At the moment it is in my sandbox at User:Ukexpat/Template:US Intelligence Reform Attempts 1947-2005. Please take a look at let me know what you think. I propose that we delete the existing table and use this navbox instead. Let me know what you think. -ukexpat (talk) 19:17, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and deleted the table and added the new navbox at the bottom of the article. – ukexpat (talk) 20:08, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
