Talk:List of United States Military Academy alumni

message: Need to correct spelling to Entrepreneurs, in sub-title Business Executives and Entrepeneurs.
One notable entrepreneur left out of the current list is controversial grad "Chainsaw" Al Dunlap, or Dunlop, who took over Sunbeam and made deep cutbacks. He wrote a book, and was interviewed extensively in business media. It would make the section more current.

message: It is noted next to Omar Bradley that he is General of the Army, so shouldn't we also note this for the other holders of this rare and prestigious rank (Eisenhower, Arnold & MacArthur)?
Moreover shouldn't Eisenhower be mentioned under the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army (which he was from November 1945)?
Finally shouldn't Pershing be noted for his title of General of the Armies and for being Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army?
Since I am not much of an expert in the field of US Army History I haven't done these edits myself, but I'll do them if noone objects to this. --Mecil 16:52, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Wiggins doesn't even have an article.  Why is he considered a "notable graduate"?  
I'm not saying that a person might not be notable for being a Conscientious Objector.  Muhammad Ali is a very notable Conscientious Objector.  I'm sure there are many others although I'd be interested to know of a notable Conscientious Objector who was a West Point graduate.
What I am saying that there is no information on Wikipedia about this notability.  I would assert that either Wiggins is notable enough to deserve an article or else he is not notable enough to be on this list.
I know nothing about David Wiggins and would be gladly willing to accept evidence that his Conscientious Objector status was notable (or that something else about him is/was notable).  I'm more complaining about the lack of evidence of notability than anything else.

message: Hi Umm.... this page is boring, so I couldn't read it, but could somebody please tell me if Greg Plitt is in it, and if he's not, if he could be? I mean, he's not like Robert E. Lee-notable, but I mean, people with Heisman Trophies are in it. Like, what IS a Heisman Trophy??--Plavalagunanbanshee 20:03, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

message: This article is way too long. Ordinarily it should be forked. In this case, I would think breaking the article in two and forking from the main article (USMA). Cross-linking to each other. Some whitespace can be "saved" by columnizing. Right now, no outsider is ever going to get through this article which is an important article!Student7 (talk) 21:32, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Glenn davis.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: FYI all: See Wikipedia_talk:Featured_list_candidates#Alumni_list_order. I am working on List of United States Naval Academy alumni to get it to FLC and then plan to work on List of United States Military Academy alumni. I think it'd be good if they were set up as similar as possible.  — Rlevse • Talk •  04:08, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :List of United States Military Academy alumni's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "chiefeng":
From List of United States Military Academy alumni (engineers): 
From List of United States Military Academy alumni (Medal of Honor): 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 19:07, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
