Campbell and Selick have given a natural decomposition of the cohomology of an elementary abelian p-group over the Steenrod algebra. We study the corresponding stable wedge summands of the classifying space B(𝓩/p)n+ using representation theory and explicit idempotents in the group ring 𝓕p[GLn(𝓩/p)].
