Hey 1ST7, I'll be glad to take this one. Comments to follow in the next 1-4 days. Thanks in advance for your work on it! -- Khazar2 ( talk) 13:15, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
Ok, Mrs. and Little Miss Khazar are about to get home... more soon. -- Khazar2 ( talk) 21:02, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
Oh, I forgot to say--just like last time, I'll make some tweaks, etc. as I go. Feel free to revert any you disagree with (and keep an eye on me that I'm not inadvertently adding any error.) -- Khazar2 ( talk) 01:41, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
Overall, this looks like another strong contribution, and close to promotion. Let me know your thoughts on the above. -- Khazar2 ( talk) 01:41, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

In copyediting this article, I'm concerned about the film's (unstated) neutrality. The UN and Kosovo Force (a NATO initiative under UN mandate, for whom DynCorp recruited U.S. forces) seem to be conflated, and the foreignpolicy.com source extensively cited is a blog. If the film has an anti-UN bias (I haven't seen it), I think this should be mentioned in an article about it. Mini apolis 15:22, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
Shockingly, File:Christina Piovesan at the Genie Awards on March 8, 2012.jpg is a picture of Christina Piovesan, not Kathryn Bolkovac, despite - up until ten minutes ago - being falsely used as a picture of her widely - despite very clearly saying who it is in the filename. How did this not get caught at FAC? Adam Cuerden ( talk) 02:08, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

The sentence calls the company DynCorp instead of Democra Security, which is the name of the company in the film. A simple replacement should suffice 192.223.236.130 ( talk) 18:53, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
