thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Reading the section related to Petraeus' plea agreement, there is nothing related to what Petraeus actually did---just an ambiguous statement that he plead guilty to a misdemeanor and was fined.  The seriousness of the charges---the facts that he released top secret information, improperly stored it at his home, and later lied about it to investigators, is not revealed.  I added a sentence that summarized the main charges from the 15 page statement of facts that were part of Petraeus' plea agreement.69.250.107.160 (talk) 02:41, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

message: I just added an "External links" template for the External links section, for the first reason Revolutionaryluddite brought up in Talk:David Petraeus/Archive 1#External Links on 15 October 2007.  The majority of the content, especially in the "News and magazine articles" "non-section", should be turned into references. —DocWatson42 (talk) 08:37, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  External links section redux 

message: I have added an  tag to this article because of extensive editing by a UPE sockfarm, please see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/TardyMarmot for evidence. The article will need a thorough review ensuring notability, due weight, neutral language, and use of reliable sources before the tag is removed. Combined with conflict of interest edits by , a significant part of current content is written by UPE and COI editors. MarioGom (talk) 09:21, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Undisclosed paid edits and conflict of interest 

message: The “Early life” section should be immediately after the Intro. Not having it so is confusing— because 99% of Wikipedia biography articles follow this format.
Considering reader experience is important, as is paying attention to Wikipedia convention.

thread_title: Early life section is out of place

message: In section "Views on the Russian invasion of Ukraine", the sentence below is presumably incorrect. Ukraine has not retaken Crimea, nor did Petraeus say anything to that effect in the cited interview.
Sentence in question:
In another interview, he said that Western support had improved counteroffensive strategies, resulting in retaking Crimea and Donbas territories from Russia. 2A00:23C7:532F:4301:414F:3917:540B:7E3D (talk) 20:13, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
