Discussion

I mentioned Morse in the 'Organization' section. Could you kindly point out some of the sentences that you find problematic? Kges1901 (talk) 20:54, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I see it now. first sentence of Japanese invasion is confusing. Maybe break into two? auntieruth (talk) 16:23, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have reduced the size of the sentence, I don't think that the report itself matters. Kges1901 (talk) 17:00, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Japanese perspective has been covered since the US official history I used as a source incorporated material gained from Japanese documents after the end of the war. Kges1901 (talk) 21:27, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Additional notes

^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
^ Either parenthetical references or footnotes can be used for in-line citations, but not both in the same article.
^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
