Special Air Service[edit]

This is a well written and informative article about the legendary SAS. Pictures, history and other details are all included.

  • object - generally a good and interesting article - 1) the use of numbered external links is considered bad style; please consider replacing with footnotes. 2) there should be some more references 3) it's not clear what sources are used for what, again, using footnotes would help this. 4) some more criticism should be included for balance, e.g. of "shoot to kill" policies as applied in Gibraltar 5) the list of operations would be better in chronological order. an alphabetical list would be better done using a category.

  • Comment: I agree with what User:Mozzerati said. Furthermore, I'm not sure about that picture at the end of the article; I think its evident it doesn't belong there, but it doesn't have source information, nor is it tagged or anything.. Phils 17:56, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Support, A good article, more picture of the SAS in action might be an idea. --Electricmoose 17:53, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Object for now, currently the target of an edit war between User:b1link82 and the rest of the contributors. Decidedly POV at times, needs a copyedit. It also has never run through peer review, something it needs. After its been through PR i'll support, but definately not til then.  ALKIVAR™ 19:18, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
