Military career

[edit]
  • "24 hours later on 9 August 1915,..." – "Twenty-four hours later on 9 August 1915,..." (While not strictly incorrect, majority of Stylebooks and Manuals of Style recommend starting a sentence with a number written out rather than in its the numerical form; in this case 24.)

Review

[edit]
GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

Article is concise and focused with only a few minor spelling and/or syntactic errors. Text is easy to read, it is interesting and engaging.

  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    All concerns addressed. Green tickY
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    References are few but reliable and verifiable. Green tickY
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
    Neutral Green tickY
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
    There are no copyvios or other issues. Green tickY
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:

Additional comments

[edit]
  • While not as prominent as in the Albert Downing and Arthur James Dingle articles, there are some chiefly British/New Zealand English spelling preferences, so I'd suggest putting the New Zealand English tag in the article's talk page.
  • Same as with the other articles, I'd suggest changing the date format.

Just as with Albert Downing, it's an easy pass. As soon as the issues are addressed, the article'll be good-to-go. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. ProKro (talk) 22:16, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
