Okay, I agree that the lead section is too short. I fixed the missing cite with a named ref, and I will hunt down family information. Binksternet (talk) 01:38, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

I got word back from the Air Force history people that Saville was one of the few USAF general officers who exercised his option to keep family matters out of official records. I will not be expanding any family relationships in the article, as I have no sources. Binksternet (talk) 22:32, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Is there any kind of obit available? If not then the major problem becomes what he did after retirement as he was under 50 when he retired. Lede is still too short. Add in his major commands or something that will summarize the rest of the article.

I am pulling out of this GAN. Unless some future author chooses to write about Saville's personal life, and about his post-retirement work, there's nothing substantial to add. Binksternet (talk) 18:22, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
