Defense Officer Personnel Management Act
edit- ... that the Defense Officer Personnel Management Act instituted an "up or out" promotion system across the United States Armed Forces?

- New enough (created as part of "articles for Creation", made live on 2 December). Certainly long enough (9,000+). However the specific hook fact is not currently footnoted. I suspect that the main source (Rostker) will say it somewhere but that currently only footnotes the fact that "up or out" exists in the Navy. Up_or_out#Up_or_out cites the same source but I would like to see a page reference for this not just the whole document. Wittylama 01:19, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback! Learning as I go...I added the page number and will edit throughout. Ramos37 (talk) 07:52, 7 December 2012 (UTC)ramos37 Page numbers added (and verified there there are no references to "Gibraltar")
- Numerous unreferenced paragraphs. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:38, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
I did have a few paras not referenced; I cleaned those up and found another source. Thanks all for taking the time to check my work. Ramos37 (talk) 05:39, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
- Looking better, but the first paragraph of OPA and OGLA needs a footnote. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:05, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
Footnote added. Ramos37 (talk) 22:54, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
- Alright, looking good. Tick based on Wittylama's review. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:53, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
