Battle of Tsimba Ridge

Nominator(s): AustralianRupert (talk)

Part of a series of articles I have worked on relating to the battles fought as part of the Bougainville campaign of the Second World War. I have developed this article over the course of six years, and recently taken it to GAN. I would like to improve it further through the ACR process. Thank you to all who stop by to review. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 12:27, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support
- I reviewed at GA in April and have read over the additions since then and believe it meets the A class criteria (no action req'd).
- All tool checks look fine (no dabs, has alt text, no citation errors detected, no duplicate links, Earwig tool reveals no issues with close paraphrase / copy vio - only a wiki mirror [1] (no action req'd)
- Image review: All images look PD to me and have the req'd information and templates (no action req'd).
- Captions look fine to me (no action req'd).
- Some minor suggestions:
  - Add issns and place of publication for newspaper articles listed in the references
  - Add wikilinks to notable authors (e.g. Horner, Long etc).
- Otherwise this looks fine to me. Anotherclown (talk) 22:21, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support ~~Comments~~ Off to another fine start Rupert! Some very minor comments:

Lieutenant Colonel Shinzo Nakamura.[2] Nakamura, who according - suggest making this two paras at this point.
south of the river.[13] Described by war - maybe make a break here? Not so married to this one but it might work.
in the sector; this barrage - two sentences here.
captured intact, while another group - and here.
capture two 70 mm guns - link to Type 92.
headed north along the tracks around - I assume these are not railway tracks, so perhaps an adjective would be useful here - "jungle tracks" or similar?
while the approaches to the ridge were largely open to observation - I believe you mean "while most of the approaches to the ridge were open to observation"?
The Australians estimated that 66 Japanese had been killed defending the ridge and also captured a large amount of equipment - this suggests the Japanese captured the equipment, which I think is the opposite of what happened.

That's it! Maury Markowitz (talk) 20:32, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Maury Markowitz: G'day, Maury, thank you for taking a look at this. I've implemented these changes with this edit: [3]. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 21:03, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support -- pls let me know any concerns with my copyedit; assuming it's okay, no concerns with prose, structure, or sources (I note AC's checked images); not an expert on the Bougainville ground campaign but detail seems appropriate and tone neutral.
