17th Airborne Division[edit]

I have been working on this article for the past two weeks or so, and I believe I have it at a stage where it can be peer-reviewed and possibly graded for B-Class status. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Skinny87 (talk) 22:17, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A few things that could be improved:

  • The lead ought to be lengthened to two/three full paragraphs.  Done
  • There's no need for an "Activation" sub-section when there's nothing else in the "Formation" section.  Done Skinny87 (talk) 08:24, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think the pulled-out "See also" links add anything. Using {{details}} there might be defensible, but those articles aren't really see-also ones.  Done Thanks for that, I just thought they looked snazzy, but I'm still learning! Skinny87 (talk) 08:24, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Disactivation"? Not "Deactivation"?  Done Teach me to edit last thing at night :) Skinny87 (talk) 08:24, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dates should be linked as Month Day or Month Day Year, not as Month Day Year.  Done Skinny87 (talk) 08:27, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, though, quite a nice article. Kirill (prof) 02:31, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea! Let me look around for the location and I'll add it in! Skinny87 (talk) 08:24, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Found it! It's in (or was) Taunton, Massachusetts. Added to the article  Done Skinny87 (talk) 15:59, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
