I'll take a look at this shortly. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 15:14, 13 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Prelim

edit
  • Article is stable
  • Images correctly licensed
  • Earwig reports copyvio unlikely

Lede and infobox

edit
  • Did Richey actually command 609 Sqn?

Early life

edit
  • Do we know the name of his father or mother?

Second World War etc

edit
  • The Second World War is not explicitly mentioned until the last line of the entire article!
  • "Shot down the same day after the engagement with the Bf 110s" does this mean he was shot down by the 110s, or something else? (ibid next sentence)
  • Not sure Bar needs capitalising?
  • "was published"
  • "with a posting to No. 56 Squadron" stipulate that he was in command of it
  • Doublechecking my source, I found made a mistake here and conflated his commands of Nos. 56 and 609 Squadron. I have revised the discussion of No 56 Squadron accordingly. Zawed (talk) 03:52, 25 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • "December 1942" repeated year
  • Any operational history for No. 189 Wing?
  • "He was subsequently worked" needs a rejig

References

edit
  • Refs 26, 27, and 28 have broken links
  • Not required by any means, but it would be interesting to quote an anecdote or two from Richey's books to provide colour
  • AGF on print sources
  • Richey is listed in the template at the bottom of the article as having 10 kills rather than 11?

@Zawed: Oops! I've been very ill recently, still am, and my fever-addled brain truly believed that it had already passed this. Passing as satisfying the GA criteria. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 09:18, 29 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
