Battle of Tulagi and Gavutu-Tanambogo[edit]

Respectfully submit this article on a World War II battle for FA consideration. Although not as long as some battle articles, I believe it includes all of the relevant information for an encyclopedic article on the event. Self-nomination with helpful polishing from other editors. Cla68 22:10, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - I can get behind this. Short, but seems to contain all the information the other FAs on battles have, so I guess it's comphrehensive. There's just less to be written, is all. It's well referenced, detailed, well written, properly organized... yeah. I can support this. Fieari 02:27, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Its short it still meets all the criteria. Kyriakos 03:34, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Consecutive article, apparently passed the A-class nomination. Nice image set. --Brand спойт 11:26, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, all the issues raised in the peer review and A-Class review have been resolved. Another outstanding article from Cla68. Kirill Lokshin 16:17, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Nice good, compact, article that meets all of the criteria for featured article status. Hello32020 00:03, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Great work. Short and sweet. Well-linked as well. Gzkn 04:00, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support but please move External links out of References (unless they were really used as References, in which case they shouldn't be listed as External links). Sandy (Talk) 16:16, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
They were used as references. I've always divided up my references into "Books" and "External Links." Do you feel that the web references should be in a section with a different heading? Cla68 23:04, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, have a look at WP:LAYOUT. All references used should be listed under Notes/References; External links is a separate standard heading which is not normally used to describe Notes/References. Perhaps you could say Book References and Web References (or something along those lines), so as not to get tangled up in standard Wiki headings?

Done. Cla68 23:08, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support — Overall a nice piece of work. To put things in perspective though, the background section could use an overview map that clearly shows the locations of Rabaul, Guadalcanal Island, and possibly the battle of Coral Sea. (But the map on the Guadalcanal campaign page is a little too large a scale, and, besides, it's hard to read. :) Thanks. — RJH (talk) 15:42, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
