Rating and improvements[edit]

I have just completed the assessment of this article for the Military History project and believe it to be a Start class article. I believe that it could be improved in the following ways:

Referencing: use of in-line citations, and the addition of more sources;
Coverage: the article could be expanded to discuss the topic in more depth, namely discussing the major operations that the unit was involved in, providing details such as casualties, any decorations/honours and awards, notable incidents etc;
Structure: the article could be improved by creating a clearer structure by making a lead or introductory section that summarises the entire article, followed by a number of sections of prose. Some suggested sections might be: Introduction, Formation, History (including operations, notable incidents, battles, etc), Commanding Officers, Casualties, Honours/Awards, Notes (for in line citations), References (full bibliographic details of cited works), See also (internal wiki links), External links.

Just a few ideas. If you would like more in depth comments, please consider submitting the article to peer review. This can be done by adding it to the list at WP:MHPR. When you feel that the article is ready for re-assessment, please add it to the list at WP:MHA. Hope this helps. AustralianRupert (talk) 04:09, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WW I[edit]

The regiment was apparently reactivated just before WW I. See Albert H. Blanding, who commanded it during the attack on Pancho Villa. Student7 (talk) 16:24, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

you´ll find it as the 124th Infantry Regiment (United States) ... GELongstreet (talk) 22:23, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hawk Reference[edit]

There is a few incomplete citations that mention a book by Hawk? I did a cursory look but couldn't find anything. Does anyone know what book this might be referencing? Amscheip (talk) 23:15, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently you edited it away last year. It read "Hawk, Robert. Florida's Army: Militia/State Troops/National Guard 1565-1985. Englewood, FL: Pineapple Press Inc. 1986". ...GELongstreet (talk) 00:44, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, good catch, I can be a real idiot sometimes. I must have accidentally selected more than I meant and deleted. Thanks for helping me fix my own mistake. Amscheip (talk) 02:19, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
