===Nuclear war in 1983?===
This is the first time I've looked at this article, but statements (I removed this one) such as "By November 1983, the Soviets were close to mounting a nuclear strike, bringing global war closer than any time since the [[Cuban Missile Crisis]] of 1962." certainly need citations; this is not the only mention of imminent nuclear war. It's not something I consider generally accepted. [[User:Howard C. Berkowitz|Howard C. Berkowitz]] 20:41, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

This article, since it will be in American English (as it concerns an American topic), should be copyedited accordingly.

I also spot some neutrality issues, which I leave to the reader to find... --Larry Sanger 12:49, 6 December 2007 (CST)

Shouldn't it be moved to Reagan Doctrine? Hayford Peirce 10:52, 17 February 2008 (CST)

Ro Thorpe did it. Good call. Denis Cavanagh 12:14, 17 February 2008 (CST)

Citations

I'm not going to pull a wikipedia and put fact tags everywhere, but I think we need more citations in the article. Jonathan Beshears 13:46, 17 February 2008 (CST)

Nuclear war in 1983?

This is the first time I've looked at this article, but statements (I removed this one) such as "By November 1983, the Soviets were close to mounting a nuclear strike, bringing global war closer than any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962." certainly need citations; this is not the only mention of imminent nuclear war. It's not something I consider generally accepted. Howard C. Berkowitz 20:41, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
