I'll do this tomorrow.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 04:23, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
- No DABs, external links OK
- No overlinking
- Images appropriately licensed
- Link mangrove swamp, Cape Gloucester at first use, Langilla, barge, round, battalion, regiment, anti-aircraft gun, flagship, minesweeper, bunker, Marston Mat
- It was the second landing the US 1st Marine Division had conducted during the war, after Guadalcanal Awkward, perhaps a "thus far" somewhere?
- at first but was slowed needs a comma after "first"
- and in 1943 there were no roads "in 1943" reads to me like a dependent clause that needs commas, or you can move it to the end of the sentence.
- 3,900 feet (1,200 m)) long
- Perceiving that the Allies Believing
- convert 3926 tons of bombs
- as well as 12 destroyers as well as the task force flagship Awkward. Perhaps "escorted by..."
- follow on troops hyphen between follow and on
- The same for casualty receiving station and "rear area troops"
- but ultimately a secondary route Why ultimately?
- Removed ultimately. It was probably a product of my poor Australian English. AustralianRupert (talk) 00:35, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
- and throughout the day the blocking position was attacked reverse these clauses
- Reworded. AustralianRupert (talk) 00:35, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
- 266 for the Japanese Which, wounded or killed? Or both?
- Killed, adjusted now. AustralianRupert (talk) 00:35, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
- During final days of December "the" final
- I have no idea where Razorback Ridge is, nor of any significance to it. I gather that a more-detailed map isn't available?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:29, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
- Clarified in text. There is this map: File:Cape Gloucester - Map01.png, but I'm not sure about the licencing on that one so I wasn't game to use it. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 00:35, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Sturmvogel 66: G'day, Sturm, thanks for looking at this. I think I've addressed these points. These are my changes: [1]. Please let me know if anything else is required. Cheers, AustralianRupert (talk) 00:37, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
- That map looks like a derivative of the Cape Gloucester Landing map, anyway, so no loss. Your changes look good.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:59, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
