It is generally accepted that the regular standing army in Britain was officially created – in the sense of being fully accommodated within parliamentary control in 1689, although it is, strictly speaking, only correct to refer to the British army from the Act of Union with Scotland in 1707.

Bibliography[edit]

Article scope[edit]

The scope of this article needs to be better defined. What does "before Army 2020" mean? In which specific year was this the structure of the British Army? Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 01:39, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I argee and 2010 is not a correct year at all. BlueD954 (talk) 03:41, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Closer citation[edit]

This article needs to be closely cited, ie a footnote or citation for each section or subsection. This is needed for verification that the material in the article is actually in the sources used. If you don't know how to do that, let me know? Thanks, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:25, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Use of italics[edit]

Please read MOS:ITALICS for when to use or not use italics. I've fixed one. If you were intending it to mean something, you are better off using a note or a sentence at the bottom of each section to explain why these units are different.

Why is this page needed[edit]

Too many orbats

Proposed merger[edit]

Request received to merge articles: British Army Structure In 2010 into Army 2020; dated: October 2020. Proposer's Rationale: This massive orbat uses a majority of archive sources which may not exactly point to 2010. Army 2020 was formed up in 2013 not 2010. The article was formerly titled before Army 2020 but why was 2010 chosen even though a SDSR was produced and not mentioned at all in the merger. More importantly, is this article under WP:GNG or WP:ARTN? At best we merge it with a well formed up article or page Army 2020 under the section 'background' with less on orbat or more on specific units and or regiments. Discuss here.

See Talk:Army 2020#Merger proposal to contribute.

Merger in progress[edit]

Before anyone decides to AfD this or anything of the sort, please be aware that I am slowly in the process of merging this into Army 2020, you can check my progress here if you like. Thanks – SɱαɾƚყPαɳƚʂ22 (Ⓣⓐⓛⓚ) 17:48, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
