Milhist[edit]

@WP:MILHIST coordinators: This article obviously appears to be part of the MILHIST wikiproject. Instead of adding tags and assessments that would later need revision, I'm using Template:@MILHIST to bring this to your attention. I think the NYT obituary I added to the article may well be useful.

Hi Shirt58, what exactly do you want to happen here? Would you like someone to clean the article up? Cheers, Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 13:59, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've tagged it as a first step, but that's all I'm going to do. It's up to you, Shirt58, to expand it as you know more about the subject than the rest of us.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:02, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've expanded the military part of his biography for you, and added a military infobox. (His son is rather more famous than he is in this regard.) Up to you to expand the part about his government service. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:06, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The improvements between the article when I came across it 09:56, 16 February 2021 (UTC) and its current version are remarkable and a credit to every editor involved.

Eddie891: "what exactly do you want to happen here? Would you like someone to clean the article up?" - that's correct, I wanted someone to clean up the article, and that is what has happened.

Sturmvogel 66: "I've tagged it as a first step, but that's all I'm going to do. It's up to you, Shirt58, to expand it as you know more about the subject than the rest of us" - thank you for the compliment, but until 09:56, 16 February 2021 (UTC) pretty much the only things I knew about Eisenhower was that was a military hero, a POTUS, and all-round good person. "know more about the subject than the rest of us"? - I'm a Jack of all trades, master of none

Hawkeye7: "I've expanded the military part of his biography for you, and added a military infobox. (His son is rather more famous than he is in this regard.) Up to you to expand the part about his government service" - thank you for adding the detailed infobox, that's exactly what I was asking for... "Up to you to expand the part about his government service" - again, I'm a Jack of all trades, master of none

@Indy beetle, Eddie891, Sturmvogel 66, Hawkeye7, and Hog Farm: Thank you again. Pete AU aka Shirt58 (talk) 11:11, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Great work all, particularly Hawkeye. I've reassessed as C class-- needs more detail on his later career (particularly service under Eisenhower) to meet B2. Cheers, Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 19:41, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
