I'll be taking over this review, so just doing a watchlist bump right here. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 18:35, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Finished off" is too.
- I don't see why either of those are a problem. Wound up is no more of a euphemism than folded, and, in fact, has an exact technical meaning of liquidation of the assets of a company in receivership. The article says as much; the company collapsed in 1938 but was not wound up until the following year. A euphemism is avoiding directly saying what is meant. Both those phrases are very direct.

Link the United States Army earlier in the article and the 1916 expedition when first mentioned.

"After WWI Clydesdale" Write out World War I or add the abbreviation earlier mentions of the war.

There's a book preview for the Middleton and Semon book on Google, you should link it.
- I don't agree with that and will explain why if you ask me outside the GA review, but for now see Wikipedia:What the Good article criteria are not § (2) Factually accurate and verifiable. SpinningSpark 16:43, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Assuming good faith on the sources.

Thanks for the review. I haven't agreed with everything you have said here, but hopefully we can come to a compromise and move forward. SpinningSpark 16:43, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Spinningspark: Yeah, I'm just going to pass it. Not worth the discussions over something tiny. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 18:48, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
