This is a new article, brought about following a quick discussion on the MILHIST talkpage, in order to move heavy detail from the Structure of the British Army in 1939 article (~225k at present). Ideally, I was thinking, this new article could serve as a model for a series of others that could then facilitate turning the Structure of the British Army in 1939 article into a smaller and more focused list/article. I have updated the Aldershot section of the latter as a bit of a rough template for what the other sections could look like. So, with that said, looking for feedback on what to include in this article, what may need to be remove, and where improvements can be made so it could potentially become a Good Article down the line.EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 16:36, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
Comments from Z1720
[edit]I am concerned about the lack of prose in the article. It seems like most of the information is in a list. Perhaps this should be a list article, and sent to WP:FLC? If it is to remain an article, then a lot more prose needs to be added. Z1720 (talk) 18:18, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
- I think you might be right, as it is structured in similar ways to other lists that I have worked on before (I used the feedback from prior FLCs, I have worked on, in order to lay this one out). I guess with that in mind, any comments with FLC in mind would be greatly appreciated in order to ensure this is in shape to start that review process.EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 22:38, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
- I'd second the suggestion of converting to a list (perhaps under a title something like "List of units under..."). We could then include more specific information as to what each unit was, who commanded it, what their insignia were, and so on - perhaps even going into what happened to them during the war.

- Thanks for the additional feedback. Commanders can be sourced, as can insignia for the main formations. As for 'what happened next', are you thinking for every single unit or the just the main formations i.e. not 1st Company, Royal Medical Corps (I have no ideas, not sure I could source that), but yes to 1st Infantry Division (could be easily sourced to provide a quick overview, such as 'dispatched to fight in the Battle of France, returned to the UK and was then sent to North Africa') etc.EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 15:33, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, that's more or less what I had in mind. UndercoverClassicist (talk) 07:37, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
