Divisional Cavalry Regiment (New Zealand)[edit]

Nominator(s): Kges1901 (talk) 09:45, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about the reconnaissance unit of the 2nd New Zealand Division. Kges1901 (talk) 09:45, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I reviewed this at PR. It seems very comprehensive and the prose is clean and professional. I haven't looked at sources or images. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 10:01, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments: G'day, nice work. Not sure if I am eligible to support this one, given I've done almost 50 edits on this article, although I think they were largely minor copy editing (or similar type edits). Regardless, I will recuse myself from supporting. Nevertheless, I have the following suggestions: AustralianRupert (talk) 10:56, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Div Cav was relieved on 6 May by a battalion of the 363rd Infantry Regiment of the US 91st Division": does the source say which battalion?
- No. The 363rd has a regimental history which might contain that information, but it isn't available online. Kges1901 (talk) 11:07, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
in the References, the link for Zaloga's Staghound Armored Car 1942–62 work appears to be dead: [2]
- Fixed. Kges1901 (talk) 11:07, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
inconsistent presentation "Auckland, New Zealand" v. "Auckland, NZ". Same same "Matamata, New Zealand"
- Unabbreviated. Kges1901 (talk) 11:07, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
if possible, I suggest left aligning a few more of the images.
- Left aligned a few images. Kges1901 (talk) 11:09, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: suggest scaling up the size of the maps. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:06, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Increased size of maps. Kges1901 (talk) 08:10, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support on prose per my standard disclaimer. These are my edits. - Dank (push to talk) 14:19, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Source review: There are sufficient citations are to reliable sources and they are formatted correctly. Only one minor change is needed: the Latimer 2002 book was published in Cambridge, MA, not MS. --Coemgenus (talk) 13:01, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Coemgenus:Fixed. Kges1901 (talk) 17:58, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support: Excellent article. I could find nothing that requires improvement, but one minor point:

"Major Arthur Nicoll received a promotion to lieutenant colonel..." I think "Major Arthur Nicoll was promoted to lieutenant colonel" reads better, in that it focuses the action on the verb "to promote" rather than "to receive". Whether you decide to change it or not, I'm happy to support. Good luck! --Coemgenus (talk) 12:52, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
