USAFA

I just wanted to let you know that I have nominated the USAFA article to be a Good Article, you have obviously had an important role in the editing of the article, hopefully it passes, if it doesn't then I might just help out to get it up to GA status, mostly because I am thinking about nominating all of the Service Academies to be a Featured Topic.--Joebengo 03:02, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Those guys over at Army and Navy might need some help, though. - Tarfu92 14:20, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Looks like it passed GA, good work.--Joebengo 00:51, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

List of United States Air Force Academy alumni

I've worked those listed already. Also see comments on the talk page. I have to spend some more days on my List of United States Naval Academy alumni list and its sublists now. I'll come back here when I'm done. If you want, look at the USNA lists and see what can be done with the USAFA list. USAFA has no list of notables on their site, I asked. You could peruse Category: United States Air Force Academy alumni for ideas of whom to add. — Rlevse • Talk • 23:22, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for helping, but we need to keep formatting consistent] throughout the academy lists if we want to get them to featured status, so can we stick with "Joe Blow ....; famous for yak yak (1992-1997)? (full years on both sides of -, in parens, no comma after yak yak). — Rlevse • Talk • 14:16, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

I've done some more work on this. I also looked at Category:United States Air Force Academy graduates (which you may want to if you haven't already) and added some people. Are there more significant people you think should be added to the list? — Rlevse • Talk • 21:03, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

I've added the ones I know, I figured you'd be better able to answer that. I did look at several in the category, but not all. Ping my talk page when you think it's ready for FL candidate. — Rlevse • Talk • 22:19, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Can you think of someone to add to Academics to push the list below Levy's picture? I really want to keep her picture. — Rlevse • Talk • 10:15, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for the hiatus--been otherwise occupied. Off the top of my head, as far as Academics goes, I know there have been about a dozen or so Rhodes Scholars, but I don't know where there's a list. I'll see if I can find something. There are also three grads who came back as Dean of Faculty at the Academy: Ruben A. Cubero '61; David A. Wagie '72; and Dana H. Born '83). One other notable (for "Vietnam") might be Michael Blassie, '70, who was interred in the Tomb of the Unknown until positively ID'ed a few years back. Also a Silver Star recipient. I'll post some more as I think of them. - Tarfu92 (talk) 18:16, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

There are 38 Rhodes from AFA, but I have found no list of their names. We can work on the ones you know though. — Rlevse • Talk • 20:33, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

That's more than I thought, (and it shows you how much I pay attention to what's actually on the page!) but still, the ones I know for sure are pretty much the ones that are already up there. - Tarfu92 (talk) 22:49, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

I've added Cubero, Born, and Blassie (didn't know he was alum). I also have not listed it at FLC. Feel free to add more and to help at FLC. — Rlevse • Talk • 00:16, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
