Links[edit]

Kinda confused by the Orphan Tag. I count at least six external links to this page:

  • 39th Brigade Combat Team
  • 153rd Infantry Regiment
  • 151st Infantry Regiment
  • Battle of Dutch Harbor
  • Camp Taji
  • Akutan Zero

Is there some minimum number required to avoid the Tag?Damon.cluck (talk) 19:21, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Couple of suggestions[edit]

G'day, Damon. I've finished formating the citations now and have done a bit of a copy edit on the article. Can you please check to see that I haven't mucked anything up with the formatting? Apologies if I have. Anyway, a couple of suggestions I have for further improvement to take it up to a B class standard are:

  • expand the lead;
  • add more inline citations, i.e. for a B class assessment each paragraph should have at least one in line citation if not more and all information should be attributed to a source;
  • some of the sources might not be able to be classified as reliable third party sources. The commander's journals cited might be considered primary sources. If possible, these should probably be replaced with third party sources independent of the subject;
  • use consistent date format, probably "Month Day, Year" in this case as it tends to be the preferred format for US focused articles on Wikipedia;
  • values such as distances, measurements etc. can be formatted and converted using the {{convert}} template;
  • finally, I think the article probably could do with a good copy edit from someone fresh to it. In some places the prose doesn't quite flow as it might otherwise. I suspect that this is possibly because it is written by someone trained to write in a military style (I myself suffer from this, so I have trouble fixing these issues). If possible maybe someone who has not been tainted by dargens might be able to help (a peer review might be a way to enlist said person).

Anyway, well done so far. Keep up the good work, sir ;-) — AustralianRupert (talk) 15:48, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the help and the review, I will start working these issues!Damon.cluck (talk) 03:22, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken a quick look and made a few tweaks. Looks quite good, but I wasn't able to read the whole article unfortunately. I'm quite busy offline at the moment. Regardless, I think it is coming along quite well. I added a few "citation needed tags". If you can add citations where I've placed these tags, I feel it will meet the referencing criteria for a B class rating. Well done and keep up the good work.

Internal links[edit]

This article is looking really good. I would suggest developing some sort of plan to increase the internal links to this page. Good pages are reviewed most often, when their are many links to the page. If you look at http://stats.grok.se/en/201006/206th_Field_Artillery_Regiment_%28United_States%29, you will see what I mean about low traffic. Article looks good though, I would suggest polishing it a little and moving it towards A-class or GA review. Sadads (talk) 18:57, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Recommendations[edit]

The article looks pretty good. I would recommend taking this article through one of the more rigorous review processed before FA such as WP:GA or Milhist's A-class review. I think the main thing that they will be brought up will be ensuring that you don't have too much explicit interpretative Original research. The reviewers will be much more picky then I am, Sadads (talk) 20:20, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Aleutian06 (talk) 21:04, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
