The article is very nicely done and the only thing it needs for GA status is a longer lead, modeled after WP:LEAD. I've put the article on hold for you to give you time to work on it. -- CTSWyneken (talk) 22:30, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
This article is nowhere near GA quality at the moment, and I considered simply delisting it outright before changing my mind and bringing my concerns here. Below are a list of the most severe problems with the article, once (if) these are dealt with, then I am sure there will be many more to come.
This is just a bare bones of the most glaring problems. Unless someone gets on this soon, I will delist it because this is nowhere near the required standard. Even if the above are taken care of there are many more issues before this can reach GA quality.-- Jackyd101 ( talk) 02:05, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Its a week now and there hasn't been a peep from anyone. It seems likely that no one is watching this and no one will sort it out. In any case, the problems are too severe to be addressed in the remaining time and I am therefore delisting this as a GA until such time as the problems are addressed, whereupon it can be renominated at WP:GAN.-- Jackyd101 ( talk) 11:50, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Somethings that could be added to improve article would be accuracy points for current history, 3rd brigade deployed to Vietnam as part of the Golden Brigade, 1/505, 2/505 and 1/508 went as a brigade task force to vietnam, they dropped into panama, along with rangers in the conflict in the region. The first deployment for GWOT, was 1/505 and 3/505 with a battalion from the 504, to afghanistan at the times listed. 2/505 along with 2 bat's from 504 deployed to afghanistan in January of 03 as Panthers in Baggy Pants. Some CSM or BNCMD came up with that. In January of 2004, that same task force deployed to iraq, as a contingency operation to cover down for units who were not ready to deploy. The redesignation of 3/505 into a cav unit under realignment could add some value to this article also, if anyone wants to code it for me (i suck at it) i have pictures of those 2 deployments along with time lines and orders. Also one operation that was participated in by 2/505 was operation mongoose in afghanistan in Feb of 2003. I was there, and as for the unit crest, the H-Minus H is for H hour when normandy was going to be hit from landing forces the minus is because the 505 jumped 1 hour before H hour. if you want to help me improve this let me know.

An edit was made on October 4, 2016 that claimed: "In October 2016 members of 2nd BN 505th PIR received the Combat Infantry Badge for the fighting that took place 17 years earlier in Kosovo.".
I verified on the U.S. Army's Human Resources Command (HRC) website, "Awards and Decorations Statistics by Conflict". Retrieved 21 December 2016.; there has been one Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB) awarded for Bosnia and Kosovo. Signaleer ( talk) 18:57, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
The article lists the 505th Infantry Regiment's current commander, but d MrStiv ( talk) 16:18, 18 October 2018 (UTC)o Regiments have actual "Commanders?" I know they have Honorary Colonels of the Regiment, but to the best of my understanding a U.S. Army Regiment today is a construct for organizing battalions and does not have an actual commander.
