Out of date

User:Howard Berkowitz wrote this article. At that time he was the sole editor for Military History. He is/was a good writer, good researcher. Using hindsight I think many people think it was a mistake to make him an editor for an unprecedented five fields. Some people, including myself, question whether he was tempermentally suited for a role that required tact, graciousness, patience. Other people think that being a brilliant polymath was not a sufficient substitute for formal credentials.
Nevertheless, I don't see anything terribly out of date here, or anything that seemed problematic from a bias point of view.
May I ask, if you think there are problematic passages, paragraphs, sections, whether we couldn't just trim those paragraphs? Maybe making sure the article is uptodate could be accomplished simply by trimming those paragraphs with time-based assertions?
Anyhow, do you have time to indicate what portions you thing are out of date? George Swan 18:36, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
