Battle of Pusan Perimeter order of battle[edit]

Looking to make this my first Featured List. Looking to see what feedback I can get on how close it is to FL and what to do to improve. —Ed!(talk) 20:04, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cuprum17[edit]

  • Caption of photo of MacArthur under UN Forces section is shown as Douglass MacArthur which redirects to Douglas MacArthur. Is this necessary? I don't believe his first name was spelled with two S's.
  • Is there any way to identify in your first table the commander of the 29th Regimental Combat Team and include that information in the table?
    • Addressed by merging that line w/ the division. —Ed!(talk) 20:41, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The term FEAF isn't put in parentheses after the unit Far East Air Force in the article. Would doing so help the reader? ex: Far East Air Force (FEAF)....
  • The Order of Battle looks overall very organized. Good luck with your FL. Cheers! Cuprum17 (talk) 04:21, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nick-D[edit]

This article is off to a good start. My comments/suggestions are:

  • Why does the 'Sub-units' column only list the infantry components of units? Most of the US and Korean divisions included the equivalent of an artillery regiment as well as several specialist battalions
  • If the 5th Regimental Combat Team was attached to the 24th Division throughout the battle, should it really be listed separately?
  • You should add the corps-level units (eg, the artillery, logistics and other units which reported directly to the Corps headquarters)
  • From memory, I think that most US air units were stationed in Japan during this battle, so it's not accurate to simply say that they were "shipped to Korea"
  • It's not the case that all land-based air support was provided by the USAF; the Royal Australian Air Force's No. 79 Squadron RAAF also fought in this battle.
  • The coverage of the 16 August carpet bombing mission seems excessive; this could be covered in sentence
  • In the North Korean section, it's not normally said that units were 'raised' to fight in a battle unless they were formed from scratch for this purpose; I think that you mean that they were 'deployed'
  • Are you able to include information on the transport ships which supplied the UN forces and the North Koreans logistics arrangements? Logistics was ultimately what decided this battle.
  • I'm surprised that you haven't made any use of Gordon Rottman's excellent book Korean War Order of Battle. This goes into great detail on the military forces engaged in the war, and the article has no realistic prospect of making FL without drawing on it as it's probably the definitive work on the subject.

YellowMonkey[edit]

  • don't think the punctuation in the notes column is correct, as they aren't full sentences, not sure a full stop is supposed to be there, amybe dot points more appropriate. Also in the first half, there are no separators between two dot points, they just run into each other YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 00:41, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fifelfoo[edit]

  • Too many clauses in this sentence, "UN forces proved superior...", split up.
  • Punctuation needed between clauses, "The protracted battle around the perimeter"
  • When did the Canadian flag change? ..."Its adoption in 1965"... incorrect Canadian flag for time period?
  • DPRK Forces, notes should be attached to the last text in the line of a table box, not to the last table box, as you've done with Corps. Ie Lieutenant General Kim Ung _________________ [8] should be Lieutenant General Kim Ung [8], no?
  • "This is seen by historians as one of the largest disadvantages " who? Marolda? Does Marolda say who? According to Marolda historians see...
  • Publisher locations? Hippocrene Press is unknown to me. Neither is Brassey's or Robinson etc...
  • West Coast Support Group: Task Group 96.8 : Korea 1950-1953 Colons normally aren't spaced for subsub titles. Are you sure this isn't a book in series?
  • Maurer, Maurer (1983). Air Force Combat Units Of World War II. Maxwell AFB, Alabama: Office of Air Force History. (In notes). Was this a published book? If so Air Force Combat Units of World War II. Was this an unpublished report (ie: issued by the government without an ISBN?) if so, you've formatted it just right, but may need to write [Report] after the title to indicate that it isn't a published work. But it does have an ISBN :)
