I'll be taking over this review, so just doing a watchlist bump right here. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 18:35, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

- "Wound up" sounds like a euphemism for a company being folded.
- "Finished off" is too.
- I don't see why either of those are a problem. Wound up is no more of a euphemism than folded, and, in fact, has an exact technical meaning of liquidation of the assets of a company in receivership. The article says as much; the company collapsed in 1938 but was not wound up until the following year. A euphemism is avoiding directly saying what is meant. Both those phrases are very direct.

- "Finished off" is too.
- Link the United States Army earlier in the article and the 1916 expedition when first mentioned.
- "After WWI Clydesdale" Write out World War I or add the abbreviation earlier mentions of the war.
- There's a book preview for the Middleton and Semon book on Google, you should link it.
- I don't agree with that and will explain why if you ask me outside the GA review, but for now see Wikipedia:What the Good article criteria are not § (2) Factually accurate and verifiable. SpinningSpark 16:43, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
- Assuming good faith on the sources.
That should be it. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 04:29, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review. I haven't agreed with everything you have said here, but hopefully we can come to a compromise and move forward. SpinningSpark 16:43, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
- @Spinningspark: Yeah, I'm just going to pass it. Not worth the discussions over something tiny. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 18:48, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
