Specific Concerns

• Not enough to hold GA status back, but the first sentence in the lead, is it really necessary to specify Russia in "...assumed power in Russia..."?
• Third sentence of the lead is awkward, suggest "During the war a number of foreign armies, including the Western allies, also took part. Most of these foreign troops fought against the Red Army, whilst individual foreign volunteers fought on both sides."
• If you go on to FAC, you'll need a citation for the first paragraph of Context.
• You need a citation for the last parts of the second paragraph of Context.
• First sentence of the first paragraph of Australian involvement is awkward, might consider rewording.

None of these glitches are enough to keep the article from GA status, and I'll be promoting it after I post this. Ealdgyth - Talk 00:51, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
