Comments

Images

• All look appropriate, the fair use one is legit.

Early life

• "During 1940 he was one of "The Few"—the Allied pilots of the Battle of Britain, in which he flew with No. 17 Squadron and was wounded in action." I know what you're saying here, but it might be more easily understood if broken into two sentences.

• I've redone this whole bit, hope it's okay now. —  Cliftonian (talk)  18:30, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Dominion Party

• "... the opposition Dominion Party (which called for full "dominion" or Commonwealth realm status)." What was the other party's position?

• The governing United Federal Party also aspired to Commonwealth realm status, but the Dominion Party were more radical—kind of like the Conservatives and UKIP in today's British politics. —  Cliftonian (talk)  18:30, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

That's it. Not much in need of fixing here. I'm looking forward to promoting it. Thanks for writing another good Rhodesia article. --Coemgenus (talk) 16:42, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing this and for the kind words. I've replied to each point above. I've expanded the RAF service part quite a bit, maybe have another look to be sure. I'm glad you seem to have enjoyed the article. Cheers, —  Cliftonian (talk)  18:30, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

It all looks good and I'm glad to pass it. --Coemgenus (talk) 20:54, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it. Cheers, —  Cliftonian (talk)  07:14, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

FAR

This article is similar to Ian Smith, which was delisted, due to overreliance on less reliable and dated sources that fail to give an NPOV perspective on the subject. This source might be helpful in revamping the article. buidhe 23:14, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

No. Main edit was putting in infobox and succession box which does not relate to my concerns. (t · c) buidhe 02:30, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
