7th Infantry Division (United States)

 * Nominator(s): — Ed! (talk) 14:24, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Easily passed MILHIST A-class review. I believe all major points meet FA criteria. — Ed! (talk) 14:24, 14 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment. Done; thanks. Images need alt text as per WP:ALT. Except for the purely-decorative tiny icons, which should have "|link=" instead of alt text (see WP:ALT ). Eubulides (talk) 23:50, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. — Ed! (talk) 18:23, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, a very nice job on the images you did. But 3 images still need alt text: the Ingman portrait and the two maps. For the maps, I suggest briefly summarizing the gist of what the maps show rather than go into a lot of detail. (A general on the phone asks you to describe each map in 40 words or less: what do you say?) Eubulides (talk) 03:16, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Added. (for the maps, I forgot to put the "alt" in the caption) How does it look now? -— Ed! (talk) 03:38, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * It looks good. Thanks. Eubulides (talk) 06:30, 17 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Comments -
 * You've mixed using the Template:Citation with the templates that start with Cite such as Template:Cite journal or Template:Cite news. They shouldn't be mixed per WP:CITE
 * What makes the following reliable sources?
 * http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Inf/07thInfantryDivision.htm
 * http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/apomeara.htm
 * Otherwise, sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 16:02, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Removed the Template: Citation. As for the two websites, the first is self-explanatory. tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil is a US Military website and part of the Pentagon's network, as evident from the address. I switched the arlington.net ref (#114) to a more reliable source: an article in the Washington Post. — Ed! (talk) 19:00, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
