List of United States Air Force Academy alumni[edit]

Nominator(s): — Rlevse • Talk •
Toolbox

As the USAFA is much younger than the Naval Academy, this is the only USAFA alum list, but just wait til I get to West Point ;-) FYI, the Coast Guard and Merchant Marine Academies don't have enough known notable alum to make a list, so I just put those in their academy articles in list format. — Rlevse • Talk • 00:13, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Truco
Lead
  • Can it not be expanded further to state more about this list and not the Academy itself?
Can you be more specific? — Rlevse • Talk • 02:27, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oh never mind, I thought this was a specific field when its the general, never mind.--Best, ₮RUCӨ 20:19, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
References
  • MSN Movies is the work while Microsoft is the publisher.
fixed. — Rlevse • Talk • 02:27, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you are going to link some publishers you may as well link all of them or none at all, be consistent.
Are you talking about in the refs? I did not find any publishers linked. — Rlevse • Talk • 02:27, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • IDK about some of the acronym use such as the DNI, when the site calls itself under "Defense and the National Interest"--Best, ₮RUCӨ 01:54, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
expanded. — Rlevse • Talk • 02:29, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
CNN is linked.--Best, ₮RUCӨ 20:19, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Unlinked CNN and spelled it out with (CNN) after it. — Rlevse • Talk • 20:24, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support -- Previous issues resolved; article now meets WP:WIAFL.--Best, ₮RUCӨ 21:17, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I've been thinking about splitting out the Astronauts to their own list as has been done for the Annapolis and West Point, but am unsure because of the new FLC requirements that are about to be implemented. Thoughts? -MBK004 02:12, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

*Comments
    • en dash required in year ranges. Check 'em all!
Ndashes make no sense to me and seem so artificial, but done — Rlevse • Talk • 21:05, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Link Rhodes scholar.
It's linked in the lead. — Rlevse • Talk • 21:01, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Oelstrom and Stein need to be swapped for initial year sort (in the Superintendents of the Academy section).
Done. — Rlevse • Talk • 21:01, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Fred D. Gregory's section should have a ; rather than a carriage return/linefeed between NASA and The first...
Odd, I didn't put it there, fixed. — Rlevse • Talk • 21:01, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • "Other notable military graduates" - a difficult one but what criteria have been used to determine "notable" here?
Anyone wiki noteworthy I could find. — Rlevse • Talk • 21:01, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • "boyfriend of former N*Sync member Lance Bass" seems somewhat trivial compared to landing a Boeing on the Hudson...
Agreed but he also won the amazing race; that's pop culture for you, meets wiki notability — Rlevse • Talk • 21:03, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's accurate but replace with an official Cowboys link. — Rlevse • Talk • 01:21, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's accurate. What about this one — Rlevse • Talk • 01:27, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Replacement link looks fine. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:48, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Images I don't want to start this drama all over again, but we really need the images to be in tip-top shape. For example, File:Sijan lp2.jpg doesn't have any information or source. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:57, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Added source and info to Sijan photo. Anymore? — Rlevse • Talk • 02:08, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
File:Ball - Version 2.jpg. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:10, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yea, that one is shaky, it has a US tag when it looks like it was a state photo, so I replaced with one of Kent Lambert that is on commons and has an OTRS ticket. — Rlevse • Talk • 02:17, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed with info box added. — Rlevse • Talk • 10:02, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed with info box added. It is on an Oman Embassy web site and the Dept of State site. I used the State Dept link. — Rlevse • Talk • 10:02, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
