27th Infantry Division Savska[edit]

Nominator(s): Peacemaker67 (crack... thump)

27th Infantry Division Savska (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Elements of this largely Croat-manned Yugoslav division began to mutiny before German units crossed the Yugoslav border in force, and even took over a city before it completely disintegrated in the face of the German assault. Recently promoted to GA. Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 10:01, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support: I reviewed this for GA, and I believe that this meets the A-class criteria as well. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 03:08, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments: As always, feel free to revert my copyediting. I've copyedited down to Structure and skimmed the rest, and I don't think prose issues will be a problem at WP:FAC, if you want to take it there after you're done here. - Dank (push to talk) 20:27, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • CommentsSupport
    • No dabs, external links check out / no dead links, no duplicate links, all images have alt text, no issues with ref consolidation, Earwig tool reveals no issues with close paraphrase etc [1] (no action req'd).
    • Images all seem to be PD and have the req'd information (no action req'd).
    • Captions look ok (no action req'd).
    • Perhaps add the article to a few more categories (e.g. Category:Military units and formations established in 1935 and Category:Military units and formations disestablished in 1941 - assuming these dates are correct).
    • Are there some words missing here: "who refused to resist Germans they considered their liberators from Serbian oppression during the interwar period."? For instance this might be better: "who refused to resist the Germans which they considered their liberators from Serbian oppression during the interwar period."
    • Are casualty figures for the division provided by the sources available? I'm assuming from previous reviews of other Yugoslav formations that they are not but thought I'd ask just in case.
    • Likewise with the pre-war activities of the formation. Is there anything available on this? Anotherclown (talk) 04:45, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • Thanks for the review, Ac. Added a category and reworded as suggested. Casualty records were apparently shambolic, and none of the sources I have access to even give an indication. The key sources concentrate on the lead-up to war, and I am yet to locate a source in any language that talks about the Army in the 20s and early 30s in any detail.

I am supportive of an A-class rating. Moving forward (have I said this before?), the article would benefit from a template listing the various Yugoslav Army divisions. Cheers MisterBee1966 (talk) 17:14, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
