GA Review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well-written.

   a (prose): b MoS:

   Get rid of pipe link to Suffolk County Cricket Club

   Done Taketa (talk) 06:40, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

   Instead of putting parentheses around location of places, just put "in (or at) _______"

   done Taketa (talk) 06:40, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

   If he was a "temporary" major, point that out in the lead section (it just said "major")

   I have changed it in the infobox. The adres would still be major, so I left it in the intro. I think it is comparable to a corvet captain or frigat captain, who are all adressed as captain. Taketa (talk) 06:40, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

   What is the section "Literature" about?

   Literature is the books used, which are cited in the references by page. The book is cited as reference #8. Taketa (talk) 06:40, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

   Should move to Kenneth G. Mayhew (because there is a person named Kenneth E. Mayhew)

   As long as there is only 1 person on Wikipedia with an article there should be no disambiguation, so I think we should not move it. Taketa (talk) 06:40, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

   No need to link articles in the "See Also" section that have been already linked in the article (for why see WP:OVERLINK)

   I have removed the section. - Taketa (talk) 19:28, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

   No need to link Sword beach, Normandy landings, Operation Charnwood, Operation Market Garden, Wageningen, and Military William Order multiple times.

   I have removed all double links in the text, not counting the infobox, and one link for Military William Order where it is used as RMWO and I think it would be unclear to some what RMWO is without the link. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 04:24, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

   Double link to Queen Williamtha of Netherlands.

   One time in the text and one time in the quotation. I think that is acceptable and can be seen as part of the exception rules to overlinking.

   Replace BA and MA with the full name, as it can get confusing to some readers.

   Good idea. I will change it. - Taketa (talk) 20:14, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

   Double link to Suffolk Regiment, and Venray

   I have deleted several links to Venray. Suffolk regiment is linked one time in the intro, infobox and main text which is acceptable under the exceptions to overlinking. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 04:59, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable

   a (references): (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   Needs citation for quotebox, and probably some citations for his ranks and awards.

   I put the citations in the sentence before the quotebox "In the words of the royal decree:" I can move them? Taketa (talk) 06:40, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

   I found a book that might be helpful.

   Thank you for finding this. There are alot of people from England with this name from that period, dozens. I checked, and this is a soldier from 1917. Our Kenneth Mayhew was born in 1917, so it is a different person. Taketa (talk) 06:40, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

   This, this, and this may also help.

   All of those were used in the article and cited, though maybe in a different website or form. Taketa (talk) 06:40, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

3. It is broad in its coverage

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   If there is anything else about his early life, include it.

   It is very long ago and I coul find no more without original research. Taketa (talk) 06:40, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

   What were "his injuries"?

   Every single source only mentions injuries. Taketa (talk) 06:40, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

   What was his father's name?

   Not cited in any sources I used. Searching in governemtn files would be original research. Taketa (talk) 06:40, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

   What did he do from 1940–1942?

   He prepared for the invasion, traveling England with the armed forces. I had added this in an early version, but a review for B-grade by the military project removed it. Taketa (talk) 06:40, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

   What was his daughter's and grandson's names?

   I know his grandson's names, but they are not public knowledge. For privacy of these people, I would prefer not adding those. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 05:00, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall

   Pass/Fail:

More comments later.Tomandjerry211 (talk) 19:33, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for the feedback, let me know if there are any more things I can help with. I will check back later today and make changes according to the input. All the best, Taketa (talk) 06:40, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Passing, well done.Tomandjerry211 (talk) 12:47, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
