I will take this one, comments to follow in due course. Zawed (talk) 20:30, 8 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Apologies for the delay in getting to this. I have reviewed up until the Guam section, with no issues spotted apart from a possible typo which I have fixed. I have to take a break now (my four-week old son is screaming his head off), more to follow. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 06:04, 16 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

  • Hunter-killer operations and Lingayen Gulf: perhaps link kamikaze
  • Linked already
  • Iwo Jima: perhaps link the battle here: the invasion of Iwo Jima began on 19 February
  • According to the Battle of Iwo Jima article, both the battle and invasion began that day, it is a semantic distinction here.
  • Okinawa: suggest rephrasing "O'Flaherty contributed with her aft 40 mm guns to flak that helped shoot down of a diving Japanese A6M Zero."
  • Fixed
  • Okinawa: "...shafts had a missing fairwater...", what is a fairwater? There are no obvious links on Wikipedia so may need to rephrase. Perhaps just refer to her shafts and steering needing repairs.
  • Made less specific
  • Okinawa: suggest "She was drydocked on ARD-26 between 4 and 8 June for the necessary repairs,..."
  • Done
  • Okinawa: "...joined up with Task Unit 32.1.3 on the same day." Please check the Task Unit designation, previously stated she was joining 32.1.1.
  • Order was changed en route, but I've made it less specific because I think there was too much detail there
  • References: the Friedman 1981 reference is missing the state, plus the Gardiner ref shows the state as initials, not written out in full like the others.
  • Dupe links: Guam, Majuro, Wake Island
  • Fixed
  • Image tags look OK

Finally got back to this to finish off the review comments, sorry for the delay. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 21:08, 22 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Your changes look good, passing as GA now as I am satisfied that it meets the necessary criteria. Zawed (talk) 07:56, 26 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
