Some comments and questions

[edit]

This article looks pretty good. It would probably quality for GA class, but I don't think that it's sufficiently detailed to reach A class (for A class the article would need to cover his military career in much greater detail)

  • I think that it's unusual for Thomlinson to have completed ADFA but not subsequently become an officer (which requires passing a further, and apparently very challenging, course at Duntroon). Do we know anything about his early military service?
  • On that topic, while direct entry in the special forces is possible, most soldiers who later become commandos spend a period in a conventional army unit (typically one of the infantry battalions) before they attempt - and pass - the very challenging special forces selection course. Do we know which path Thomlinson took?
  • "with the elbow on his right arm coming out through a hole" - I'm not sure what the correct terminology is for a horrific injury such as this, but that doesn't sound right
  • You need to introduce Scott Palmer
  • "they look at permanent disability only after that disability has stabalised and his condition had not become stable until a month or so before then" - this is a bit awkward
  • The statement that "Thomlinson snowboarded prior to being wounded by the Taliban," isn't supported by the citation given. I didn't double check the other references. Nick-D (talk) 04:33, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
