38th (Welsh) Infantry Division[edit]


I am aiming to get this article to FA status by July, in order to give it a shot at the front page in time for the 100 year anniversary of their fighting on the Somme. I have yet to finish the final section on the First World War (or write up a full lead), but expect to do so in the next few days. All comments welcome.

Comments: Ah, Blackadder... ;-) G'day, good work on this article. I have the following suggestions/comments/nitpicks: AustralianRupert (talk) 08:20, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • there are a few "harvnb"/ref anchor error messages showing for the "Munby" work;
    I believe I have fixed this.EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 23:27, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • page ranges should have endashes
    I believe @Anotherclown: addressed this, in which case kudos :)EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 23:27, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • "... form 'Second Line' divisions...": I believe that the MOS prefers double quotation marks over single
    Addressed.EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 23:27, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • "1914––1919" --> "1914–19" per WP:DATERANGE (same for other similar date ranges in the article)
    Addressed I believe.EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 23:27, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    I made a couple more tweaks, sorry, my comment was a bit confusing. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 23:55, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • not sure about the link to this: Purchase of commissions in the British Army. It doesn't quite seem to fit what it is being used for
    Removed.EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 23:27, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • "home defense" --> "home defence": as it is about a British topic, the article should probably use British English variation/spelling instead of US
    This is what happens when a Brit gets stuck in the Americas, he starts spelling everything wrong! :)EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 23:27, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • " King's Shropshire Light Infantry-between 1944 and 1945-trained over 4,000 replacements" (the hyphens should be spaced endashes or unspaced emdashes)
    Got it!EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 23:27, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks very much for the comments, and the edits! Further feedback is more than welcome. Regards EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 23:27, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • G'day, I'm seeing a few more harvnb/anchor errors: Lewis, McGreal, Miles, Edmonds, Rawson, Middlebrook. AustralianRupert (talk) 23:55, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    I will attempt to fix those later when I am home. For future reference, how do you go about seeing the errors? RegardsEnigmaMcmxc (talk) 11:57, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    If you install this script on your monobook you should be able to see them as red warnings on the page in read view: User:Ucucha/HarvErrors.js. AustralianRupert (talk) 12:45, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for that, hopefully this will cut that down in the future!EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 09:13, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments I fixed a few broken references, please check. Note: there is a missing reference for citation " Middlebrook 2000, pp. 80–81" Cheers MisterBee1966 (talk) 10:06, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks for the amendments, and I have added the missing ref.EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 09:13, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have made a major update to the article to finish it off. Does anyone have additional comments before I take the article to GA? Regards, EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 22:12, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
