United States Air Force[edit]

This article has not (ever?) been peer reviewed or rated. It is an important major article. Bburton 21:55, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not bad, but it still requires major work:

  • Citations should be liberally inserted into the text. As it stands, the article is very underreferenced; it should be possible to find quite reputable sources—particularly print works—for much of the material.
  • Lots of choppy prose, one-sentence paragraphs, one-paragraph sections, and so forth, particularly after the "History" section.
  • The "Air Force Core Values" section really isn't one. If these are to be included, they would be better off in a floating box.
  • The "Aircraft" section is basically a giant list. This should be turned into (descriptive) prose, possibly discussing types of aircraft.
  • The gallery of aircraft pictures should be spread out. Not all of them need to be in this particular article, for that matter.
  • The "Common badges" section is another list.
  • The "Rank Structure" table needs to have some labels added; there's no way to tell what some of the fields mean at the moment.
  • The "Trivia" section should be removed with extreme prejudice. If it can't be worked into the text, it's not worth mentioning (except, perhaps, in a footnote).
  • The "See also" should be trimmed of anything linked in the article (which should, ideally, be everything).
  • The external links should be limited to those which provide substantial resources beyond what's available on Wikipedia.

Overall, lots of things to be improved on. Kirill Lokshin 03:06, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
