Pre-GA tweaks
editHi Peacemaker67, Thanks for another fine article. Here are some possible tweaks to consider before the GA review starts:
- knighted for commissioner - appears twice in lede (1st para and 2nd last sentence)
- consistencies:
- shell fire v shellfire
- counterattack v counter-attack /one word x 8, hyphenated x3
- Pioneer Trench v Pioneers Trench, 2 each
- Croix de guerre v Croix de Guerre
- Citizens' Forces v Citizen's Forces (actually, there are no apostrophes in its (AAR's) article)
- Times formats 4:30 am/4:00am/07:00/08:00/10:30/12:15/13:30/15:30/5:15/02:00/15:00/23:00
- "Fighting Leane's of Prospect" - is the apostrophe in the Hurst ref?
- Categories to add?:
- Recipients of the Croix de guerre 1914–1918 (France)
- Australian police chiefs
- Burials in South Australia
- Categories to refine?:
- Australian Companions of the Order of St Michael and St George
- Australian Companions of the Order of the Bath
- Australian Knights Bachelor
- Australian recipients of the Military Cross
- Australian Companions of the Distinguished Service Order
Please ignore any that I have wrong:) Thanks again, JennyOz (talk) 08:30, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks very much for taking a look, JennyOz! I've adjusted them all. With Citizens' Forces, I've used the apostrophe positioning used by papers of the time. Bit of a bug bear of mine, so not sure how that slipped through. Some crusty half-colonel once insisted we properly punctuate Officers' Mess as the possessive, ie the Mess belonging to the Officers... And now I'm stuck with it.

- Looking good! (I agree with your half-colonel too.) One time format yet to fix... "surged forward at 5:15" should be 17:15? Thanks again, JennyOz (talk) 15:43, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
