I have noticed that quite a few of these Air Base Wing articles contain the phrase: "The wing has a long and distinguished history." I kind of feel it violates WP:PEACOCK. Any comments? Ohconfucius ¡digame! 10:28, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
At some point during 1942 or 1943, the 42d Bomb Group converted from Martin B-26 Marauders to B-25 aircraft, ending the war in 1945 with B-25's. Also, they flew Douglas A-26 Invaders and Douglas A-20 Havocs shortly after the war until deactivation in 1946. It would improve the article to clarify and include this information into the WW 2 section.-- TGC55 ( talk) 21:45, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation. |

2. Verifiable with no original research: | ||
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline. |
Done (reluctantly) -- Lineagegeek ( talk) 21:57, 30 January 2015 (UTC) | |
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose). |
| |
2c. it contains no original research. | ||
3. Broad in its coverage: | ||
3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic. | ||
3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style). | ||
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each. | ||
5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute. | ||
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio: | ||
6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content. |
| |
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions. | will look at this once the images licensing is sorted | |
7. Overall assessment. | Failing per comments. The two main issues are the unresolved copyvio, the questions about the reliability/independence of Cohn as a source, and some MOS issues. Feel free to ask for a second opinion. Regards, Peacemaker67 ( crack... thump) 04:37, 27 March 2015 (UTC) |
@ Nikkimaria: are you now happy about the copyvio issues identified earlier? Thanks, Peacemaker67 ( crack... thump) 04:14, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
Sorry this has taken such a long time. I suggest that with the copyvio issue still not completely resolved, and the lack of response for about five weeks to the question about the reliability of Cohn, this article isn't going to be GA soon. I intend to fail it in the next 48 hours on criteria 2b. Regards, Peacemaker67 ( crack... thump) 06:32, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
