In-line Citations

I added in-line citations, in fact I might have over-referenced, and took the liberty of changing the assessment in the box above. Boneyard90 (talk) 17:46, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good work with adding these references. It would be good to see more articles on Japanese infantry regiments to balance out our coverage. Cheers. AustralianRupert (talk) 12:09, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Supporting Materials

Any ideas about appropriate "supporting materials"? Public domain images regarding this particular regiment might be somewhat difficult to come by. Thanks. Boneyard90 (talk) 17:46, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I believe that for B class, an infobox is sufficient supporting materials. In light of this, the article is probably a B class article. Having said this, a couple of images would be a great addition if they could be found, but I think you might be right that such images would be hard to come by. AustralianRupert (talk) 12:06, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Quite surprisingly, I found a photo of 18th Regiment troops on Wikimedia Commons, and added it to the infobox. Boneyard90 (talk) 00:44, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That is a great addition. Excellent find! I wonder if there is a way to search for images on other language Wikipedias, there might be other images out there for Japanese units which could be moved across. AustralianRupert (talk) 21:08, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure there are. I plan to keep it in mind as I edit some of these unit articles, as for example I did this morning in the article for the IJA 3rd Division. Boneyard90 (talk) 21:14, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
