I'll have a look at this one. Gog the Mild (talk) 02:08, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have made some, hopefully minor, changes. Please flag up anything you are not happy with.

  • Optional: Consider adding alt text to the images.
  • Only really an issue if you wish to take the article further: "9th (Highland) Infantry Division" and "9th (Highland) Division" are both used; consistency would be good. (IMO "9th (Highland)" is an acceptable short form.)
    I have moved to make this a bit more consistent, leaving the full term in use in a few places and just "9th (Highland)" elsewhere. This work?EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 23:26, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good to me.
I guess that that will do for GA.
  • Infobox: "Size"; information in the infobox should be repeated in the main body.
  • "Size" (again): IMO the source given does not support the division being "at most 10,000" strong at any point during its existence. The source gives this for a specific point in time. Given that this was at the height of the Battle of France and that the 9th was "used as a source of reinforcements for other units" it is possible that it was stronger at some earlier point.
    In regards to these two points, I have made some tweaks and included the info in the article as well.
Looks good.

That's all from me. A fine piece of work. Gog the Mild (talk) 10:40, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I will promote it now, but leave it on my watch list and go through it again over the next few days. I will post any thoughts re improvements for ACR or FAC on the talk page. You are doing a fine job of running through these British divisions. Gog the Mild (talk) 09:45, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In general, the dropping of the definite article before Arabic ordinals is a "military-speak" contraction and not grammatically correct. Suggest adding it in throughout. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:38, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@EnigmaMcmxc: That's my issue, so I'll put them back in. Gog the Mild (talk) 13:27, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
