Criteria

[edit]
  • It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    • Prose might need to be improved here: "Upon establishment, the regiment had an authorised strength of 25 officers and 497 other ranks, who were organised into a regimental headquarters, three squadrons, each of which consisted of six troops." For instance consider instead: "Upon establishment, the regiment had an authorised strength of 25 officers and 497 other ranks, who were organised into a regimental headquarters and three squadrons, each of which consisted of six troops."
    • Wording here: "...but were involved in fighting off a number of sharp engagements." Could this perhaps be written better as: "...but were involved in fighting off a number of sharp attacks."
    • "Following this, the 12th were sent back to the rear to rest, arriving at the railhead at El Ferdan...", railhead should be wikilinked earlier in the text (at first appearance).
    • There seems to be an inconsistency in the presentation of "Machine-Gun Section", in some places you use "machine-gun section". Pls review and amend if required.
      • Interesting point and one I had to think about. In this case, my take is that grammatically it is correct to use lower case where I have because of the construction "its machine-gun section" is an improper noun group as opposed to "the Machine-Gun Section" which is a proper noun group. Happy to adjust if you think its an issue, though. AustralianRupert (talk) 07:19, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Is this a typo: "...result most of warm weather equipment had been left behind..."? Specifically "most of warm weather". Also should this be really read "cold weather equipment"?
  • It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    • All major points cited using WP:RS.
    • Consistent citation style used throughout.
    • No issues with OR.
  • It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    • All major points are covered without going into undue detail.
  • It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    a (fair representation): b (all significant views):

  • It is stable.
    No edit wars etc.:
    • All recent edits look constructive.
  • It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
    a (tagged and captioned): b (Is illustrated with appropriate images): c (non-free images have fair use rationales): d public domain pictures appropriately demonstrate why they are public domain:
    • Images used are all in the public domain and seem appropriate for the article.
