Actions along the Matanikau[edit]

Respectfully submit this article on a World War II event for featured article consideration. Self-nomination with helpful assistance from other editors in the military history project. Cla68 03:45, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, thoroughly excellent article, as usual; all the issues raised during the peer review have been dealt with. Kirill Lokshin 04:01, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Per above.--Yannismarou 08:53, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just a prose comment:"These two particular engagements, the first taking place between September 23 and September 27, 1942, and the second between October 6 and 9, 1942 were two of the largest and most significant of the Matanikau actions." Is here the repetition of "two" necessary? Couldn't it just be: "These particular engagements, the first taking place between September 23 and September 27, 1942, and the second between October 6 and 9, 1942 were two of the largest and most significant of the Matanikau actions."--Yannismarou 14:53, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Cla68 21:39, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • question: Why the ridiculous disambiguation?? Circeus 00:47, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Do you mean the dates in parentheses in the article title? That's to distinguish these actions from several others that took place in the same geographical area during the Guadalcanal campaign. Cla68 00:59, 25 March 2007 (UTC)<[reply]
Well... I don't see a disambiguation page at Actions along the Matanikau, nor at a possible Battle of the Matanikau, so it appears to fit the bill for "no need for disambiguation". Circeus 02:14, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The other Matanikau actions are, or will be, articulated in the Guadalcanal campaign article. Cla68 03:16, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Then there is clearly no needfor the lengthy page name,as there will be no other similarly-named articles. A disambiguation link at the top of this one should be more than enough.Circeus 03:38, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Cla68 09:19, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support: To keep the references section uniform, put <div class="references-small"> and </div> around the other subsections: books and web. Cheers, S.D. 00:00, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Aye, I think it is good. Thanks for giving it a better name. The old one gave me a headache.--Pupster21 16:10, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
