@Rosguill: You put a tag on this article saying it is in a list format. Most of the article is done in prose where that is common, and other parts like his assignments and awards are done in list. This is very common among all of the military bios I've looked at. Take a look, for instance, at Darren W. McDew and maybe look at various lists that show names of other military bios. They are all done this way. It is the best method for getting the information across. --TadgStirkland401(TadgTalk)12:52, 12 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Rosguill: Also, you've tagged it with Use MDY Dates, but the military established convention there, again, is DMY instead. Thanks for changing the other edit. As far as POV, I'll looko at the article again. But, I don't see any POV issues. What kind of POV issues are you seeing? --TadgStirkland401(TadgTalk)20:35, 12 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
@TadgStirkland401: The comment about Urschler's hobbies in the personal life section could stand to be removed (although in hindsight it's probably more WP:UNDUE than WP:NPOV). I do have to say that I'm a bit troubled by presenting military biographies and past military service in a totally positive light with terms like "decorated", etc. and no comment on the human toll of their career, but that appears to be standard convention and is a much broader policy fight that I don't want to start now. With that in mind, you have my blessing to remove that POV tag when you see fit. As for the MDY, I don't believe I added that tag (I've never even noticed it as an option with the new page reviewer tool), and if I did it was totally unintentional. signed, Rosguilltalk20:49, 12 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Rosguill: To be honest, I don't see that as an NPOV Issue especially since the information came from published sources, and was citede properly. Let me think about it... But, my first thought is, what does a general do when he retires? This sorta' answers that fairly well for this guy. But let me have a day or two to mull it over. --TadgStirkland401(TadgTalk)20:55, 12 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
