Technical review

edit
  • Citations: The Citation Check tool reveal no issues with reference consolidation (no action req'd).
  • Disambiguations: no dab links [3] (no action req'd)
  • Linkrot: no dead links [4] (no action req'd)
  • Alt text: images lack alt text so you might consider adding it [5] (not a GA requirement, suggestion only).
  • Copyright violations: The Earwig Tool seems to return a false possible (seems to be due to detecting repeated similarities which are unavoidable like names of people and places, dates and battle honours) [6] as the Duplicate Detector makes it clear there are no issues [7] (no action req'd).
  • Duplicate links: a few repeat links to be removed:
    • South Australia
    • 10th Battalion

Criteria

edit
  • It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose):   b (MoS):  
    • The appears to be a typo in Note 2: "A number of the battalion's initial volunteers were also recruited Broken Hill, in outback New South Wales." Seems to be missing a word, consider instead: "A number of the battalion's initial volunteers were also recruited from Broken Hill, in outback New South Wales."
    • Seems a bit informal: "...the 2/10th belonged to the 18th Brigade...", consider perhaps "...was part of..." or "...was under command of..." (suggestion only)
    • Perhaps wikilink Tidworth (seems to be misspelt as Tidsworth in this article although I think this is common in a number of sources).
    • Wikilink Wanigela (to Wanigela, Oro Province).
    • This sentence runs on: "After a period of rest and reorganisation in Australia during which the units of the 2nd AIF were converted to the Jungle Division establishment while based around Ravenshoe, Queensland." Perhaps reword somehow?
    • This sentence is quite long and should probably be split: "Although the battalion undertook a series of local patrols after this, the fighting around Parramatta constituted the last of the 2/10th's major actions of the war, and after the hostilities ended in mid-August following Japan's surrender the battalion's personnel were slowly repatriated back to Australia in drafts for discharge, while others – 70 in total – were transferred to other units for subsequent service in the 34th Brigade for occupation duties as part of the British Commonwealth Occupation Force in Japan."
  • It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):  
    • Article is well referenced with all major points cited to WP:RS.
    • No issues with OR that I could see.
  • It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):   b (focused):  
    • All major points seem to be covered without unnecessary detail.
    • Uses effective summary style whilst place actions of the unit in the appropriate context.
  • It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    a (fair representation):   b (all significant views):  
    • No issues I could see.
  • It is stable.
    No edit wars etc.:  
    • No issues here.
  • It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
    a (tagged and captioned):   b (Is illustrated with appropriate images):   c (non-free images have fair use rationales):   d public domain pictures appropriately demonstrate why they are public domain:  
    • Images are free / PD and seem to have the req'd information / templates.
    • Captions look ok.
