I would expand the lead into a summary of the whole of the article. DrKiernan 09:29, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, this is an excellent article. I see a few things that need to be corrected, and then I think you should nominate the article for GA or FA status.

The lead needs to be expanded. It should be at least 2 or 3 paragraphs.

Everybody wants that. Done.

Don't wikilink single years, like 1912, unless there is a good reason. Full dates, like 2 August, 1922, should still be linked.

It's not necessary to wikilink the ranks every time you list them. Wikilink the first time a rank is mentioned, and then not after that.

done

Once you have established who a person is (General Douglas MacArthur), any subsequent references to that person should be only their last name (MacArthur) and not their title and last name (General MacArthur) unless the title has changed.

Need a citation for these quotes: ""People who throw stones at Americans," Herring said, "should stop and think where we would have been in 1942 without the Americans." Such remarks earned him a rebuke from the then acting State Opposition Leader, Mr Frank Wilkes, as "untactful" for a representative of the Crown"

done

Don't have external links (Fifty Australians) in the body of the article.

done

Citations should be properly formatted. See cite templates
The quote should go to wikiquote and shouldn't be in this article unless it can be incorporated into the text.
