@Dumelow: This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. Approving ALT1 and ALT2 only. ALT0 needs to be rephrased so as to use "prohibited from" rather than "prohibited to". A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:37, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
First Prohibition of Alchohol?
[edit]I don't know what the source says, but on 1 June 1914, the Navy went dry, per General Order No. 99, so this wasn't the first prohibition of booze in the US military. --Lineagegeek (talk) 19:15, 16 August 2020 (UTC)--Lineagegeek (talk) 19:15, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Lineagegeek, thanks for your input. The source says "for the first time US personnel were forbidden to possess, make, sell or consume 'any alcoholic beverage'". However the source (from the Judge Advocate General's Corps, United States Army) is focused on the US Army experience so I think it is probably referring specifically to Army personnel. I'll amend the article to state this - Dumelow (talk) 05:51, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
