Section comments

I have read the article and have made several minor copy edits, but I am completely unfamiliar with the Balkans and the content of the article. To start with though, my initial impression is that the writing is very good, so I think most of what I'll be doing on this one is citation verification.

On that note, and keeping in mind that I am totally unfamiliar with the subject, I have done spot checks on the online sources and I've found that the content that's written aligns nicely with the sources. The refs are considered reliable and are formatted in compliance with the manual of style. I'm really only able to say positive things about this article. It's neutral and balanced and the presentation is great: nice full paragraphs, a tidy infobox, and adequate sources.

After reading the article and comparing what the sources say, all I really have to offer is a possible internal link to add in the Clash section. 23 editor, I think it will be fine to mark this as a good article. Great work!

Infobox

The infobox is uncluttered and has a free image that gives the reader a perfect sense of the terrain at the location of the incident.

Lead

This section adequately previews the content of the article

Background

In the first sentence where it says "which by then was just a rump federation". I had to look this up, but found that the usage is perfect in this manner. Entry #3

Clash

I think the writing conveys what is being said very well and is neither overly-wordy or too concise. We might want to link Artillery.

Aftermath

No comments on this section. The writing looks good here as well.

Excellent. Thanks for the review! 23 editor (talk) 23:26, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
