[edit] Complete?

How was this list compiled? How is it maintained? There are no sources identified, but I think some are missing. What is the minimum rank to be included? Brigadier, Major General, Lieutenant General, or full General? --Scott Davis ^Talk 09:39, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I believe the list was based on the External link mentioned at the bottom of the article: www.generals.dk run by Steen Ammentorp. He said it includes any officer who had a rank above colonel (even acting). Although it should include a full list of generals in WWII, generals from other eras may not have been included in this list. Diverman 11:46, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

So that's Brigadier or higher. I've added a note to the effect that the list is not complete, and a few more I found links to in other articles. Thanks. I suspect this article is not really going to be maintainable. At least generals.dk gives a framework of major commands for any articles. I notice a number of these people have links elsewhere to First Last (General), who are here as First Middle Last, so there could be potential for overlap, too. --Scott Davis ^Talk 13:18, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
