I have been working on this article for the last few months and think that it may now be of A class standard. This article has been rated as B-class and has undergone a peer review. Any comments on ways the article can be improved to FA standard would also be appreciated. --Nick Dowling (talk) 05:10, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support: well-written and comprehensive article. I have a quick question about the name. Why Military of East Timor instead of Defence Forces of East Timor (I can guess why you didn't go with Defence Forces of Timor-Leste)? A MOS thing that'll need fixing before FAC: hyphens in numeric ranges (2007-2008, age 18-49, Pages 12-13, Paragraphs 205 - 212 etc) need replacing with unspaced endashes (ALT+0150). The Info Box uses American spelling: "Defense" instead of Australian "Defence". A couple more pictures would improve it immensely. --ROGER DAVIES talk 06:11, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Thanks for your vote and comments. The force's correct English-language name is 'Timor Leste Defence Force' and 'F-FDTL' is by far the most common name in English-language publications (which is why I've used it throughout the article). However, as the country is called 'East Timor' in Wikipedia, and all attempts to correct its name to 'Timor Leste' are rejected on the grounds that 'East Timor' remains the more common name, I didn't want to get into an argument by renaming this article. --Nick Dowling (talk) 07:47, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Tough luck finding some images online. If you do find something online, you can link it with {{Externalimages}} (Yes, me and Kirill are responsible for this template). And use the most common English name as title. Wandalstouring (talk) 15:59, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Is an A-Class article, needs some fixes before FAC though as Roger says. I agree that images will be quite hard to find. Woody (talk) 19:02, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support. I believe that it is an A-class article bit it needs some work before FAC. Kyriakos (talk) 20:35, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
