[edit] GA hold issues

  1. lead is way too short, only one sentence, it should summarize the article
  2. very little on his pre-West Point life, needs expanded
  3. footnotes usually come after punctuation, not in the middle of a sentence
  4. Footnote one points to the flipper article, it is not a reference
  5. the quote at the bottom of the his class needs a ref
  6. the narrative footnotes are confusing to follow
  7. full dates need wikilinked
  8. red links should be removed
  9. solo years don't get linked
  10. find more refs is possible and link more things, like LA could be linked
