A listing of problems with this article as of 17:49, 21 February 2007 (UTC). To-do Citations, despite the PD, it still needs them to meet verifiablity. Expansion, I reorganized the whole thing, every single section needs expansion. Sources, we need more than one source here, something besides web sites, maybe some magazine articles or something else that we could access online. POV, a is this article is highly, highly biased. Just one sentence about environmental concerns at Mountain Long Leaf, the fort is riddled with problems, we need to get at the heart of what they are. It may even, eventually require a separate article as the history section may as well. Since this fort is closed some more hard numbers and statistics might be available. How many trained there? Died in training? Lived there? Totals? Average? On and on and on. Missions, section needs to be reworked according to summary style. Intro, expand and cite Externals, could be a couple other noteworthy links that might be included Images, definitely needs images, historic and current. Begin search for free-use. If you are in or around Anniston, maybe you could take some pics and upload them to Commons? Command, there is nothing on any of the CGs at this post. Today, will definitely need a section outlining current use, the refuge is a good start but it's not the whole post. I know there has to be some history of chemical weapons manufacture/storage or something at McClellan. I remember it well. Let's find out. As always, copy edit the crap out of it. This is just a brief overview. Anything else that comes up can be discussed here or just fixed. Happy editing. A mcmurray 17:49, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
