Talk:District of Columbia Army National Guard

Copyvio?

The whole bit after the intro paragraph appears to be a copy-paste from somewhere (possibly the official DCANG website). I'd prefer not to remove the whole thing in its entirety as a lot of it is marginally (at best) interesting enough to be included in some form or another. --MicahBrwn (talk) 07:33, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. Can we get any consensus about what to do with it? Seems like a good bit of the information could be put together into a few decent sections if anyone feels up to the task. We could also use an infobox, pictures, basic information for this article. Noble-savage (talk) 23:18, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Chain of Command

The Mayor of DC is not in the DCARNG's chain of command and he can only request assistance, not activate the Guard. I can't find a good online reference for that and the link purporting to claim otherwise is invalid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.51.217.10 (talk) 12:59, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Citation formatting

• @BMB1938: I would probably go with something like this to be consistent with Wikipedia's Manual of Style for inline citations:

Here is the content you are supporting with the reference that readers will see.<ref>{{cite web |author1=Headquarters, District of Columbia National Guard |title=Permanent Orders 1-1, History and Honors, Headquarters, District of Columbia National Guard |url=https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:History_and_Honors,_Headquarters,_District_of_Columbia_National_Guard.pdf |accessdate=21 August 2018 |location=Wikimedia Commons |date=February 18, 1986}}</ref>

Which will give you this:
