- G'day, this one appears to be working for me (I'm looking at the web site now). I think there's something wrong with the link checker tool. I had this issue on a GA review I did the other day. It kept saying that it was broken, but when I clicked on the link I could actually view the site. I've tried to find a link through Web Archive, but it doesn't seem to have one. The Web Citation archive tool doesn't seem to like it either. Not sure what to do with this one, in that case. Sorry. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 03:11, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
- Too easy, its not a war stopper. Anotherclown (talk) 09:17, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

- Alt text: Images lack alt text so you might consider adding it [5] (suggestion only).
- Adding now. I'm not really very good at writing alt text, though. AustralianRupert (talk) 03:11, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
- Copyright violations: The Earwig Tool is currently not working, however spot checks using Google reveal no issues [6] (no action required).
Criteria
[edit]- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS):
- Some inconsistency in presentation of terms. In the lead you use "First Australian Imperial Force" and in the body "Australian Imperial Force".
- Some repeatitive language in the 2nd paragraph of the formation and training section. "The physical standards under which the first contingent of the AIF was"... and "Following a brief period of training in Australia, the first contingent of the AIF".
- This is a little awkward: "The assault began the following day, during which the 2nd Battalion, positioned around a position known as the "Pimple"." (i.e. "postioned around a position").
- Missing word here: "I Anzac Corps were assigned to "quiet" sector of the line near Armentieres to gain experience of trench warfare..."
- 47th (London) Division can be wikilinked to 47th (1/2nd London) Division.
- "...were forcibly taken back to German lines as prisoners...", perhaps instead "...were forcibly taken back to the German lines as prisoners..."
- "...assigned to the 8th Brigade, part of the 2nd Military District...", perhaps instead "...assigned to the 8th Brigade, of the 2nd Military District..."
- No major MOS issues I can see.
- Should be all fixed now. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 03:11, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
