Origin of cover image

edit

"The cover photo is taken from the 1987 war film Hamburger Hill."

Can anyone actually provide any evidence to this? The image appears to be infact a photo by Joel D. Meyerson from Images of a Lengthy War. Washington DC: US Army Center of Military History, 1986. taken during the Battle of Dak To.

 
1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry, 173rd Airborne Brigade soldiers battle for Hill 882, southwest of Dak To. (From the page for 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team)

I seen this a few other places claim that the cover art comes from the film Hamburger Hill (probably got that info from this incorrect wiki page....) so I have changed the article text to try and clear this up.

==Reassessment, implementing new criteria==

Article requirements:
 Y Categorisation: at least by artist & year (start +)

 Y Infobox: relatively complete (start +)
 Y Cover? (C or B)
 Y Completed, with most technical details? (B)

Track listing: song titles (start +)
 N Track lengths and authors? (C or B)

 Y Personnel: primary performers mentioned by name (start+)
 N Personnel section? (C or B)
 N All musicians? (C or B)
 N Technical personnel? (B)

 Y Sections: lead section providing based overview (start+)

 Y Other section(s) of useful prose? (C or B)
 Y No obvious extraneous information (such as "trivia") (B)

  • No obvious information omitted (B)

Article lacks a personnel section which is easy to forget, but just as easy to re-add for a better rating! Try to use cite-based item in wikipedia instead of simply using links at the end for a better status too. Don't forget the track lengths on the songs as well! Overall it's still pretty good and miles above most Album articles. Andrzejbanas (talk) 00:20, 28 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
