Expansion

[edit]

G'day everyone, just wondering if we need a few more entries for the Portal's selected biographies? There appear to be three redlinks:

I was thinking of a few potentials. For instance Harry Chauvel (as a featured article) might be a good candidate. It might be good to get another Air Force personality in the mix, to balance out the Army entries, so maybe Bill Newton (has interest value as a VC recipient, and as a featured article). Finally, I think it might be nice to include a biography of a woman. Maybe Mary Bell (aviator)? Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 22:54, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'd suggest Clare Stevenson in the place of Bell, as she had an even more substantial impact. Nick-D (talk) 23:00, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Harry Chauvel would be a good choice. Clare Stevenson is also a featured article. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 23:03, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Nick and Hawkeye. I have created entries for Stevenson, Newton and Chauvel now. Please feel free to adjust as you see fit. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 06:54, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
They look great to me Nick-D (talk) 07:13, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
