Citation[edit]

I'm not sure what the rules are for citing sources. (Every sentence is a link?) Here are my sources for 01 Mar 2007: The Alaska Army National Guard is composed of approximately 1850 soldiers and maintains 77 armories and other facilities, including Fort Greely (as of 2006) <! -- http://www.usarak.army.mil/main/ArmyInAk/militaryandva.htm -->.

There's lots of information about citing sources at Wikipedia:Citing sources. And yes, sources should be cited, per WP:ATT. --Yksin 23:17, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article issues[edit]

This article reads, almost in its entirety, like a generic boilerplate article which could apply to any state's National Guard with only minor tweaking. There is a history section which takes up most of the article, which contains little to no content on, or relevance to, the actual history of the National Guard in Alaska. I don't believe sources are as much the problem here as perhaps editors' choice of sources.RadioKAOS (talk) 17:34, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
