General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: Yes
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: I fixed punctuation in the hook for DYK standards. Otherwise a nice article and great hook. The picture is borderline, it's hard to see because of the shades of gray. (t · c) buidhe 07:58, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review, buidhe. It could use File:Charles Green 1945 (AWM 097970).jpg if you think that is better, it is also free. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:32, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well, in my experience promoters rarely use B&W images. However, I confirm that the other image meets technical requirements. (t · c) buidhe 08:34, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Green (Australian soldier) => Charles Green (Australian Army Officer)

[edit]

Please check out Category:Australian Army personnel of World War II.

We can see many articles with Name (Australian Army officer) or Name (general)

Due to consistency with other articles, I moved.

Completely unnecessary and longer than it needs to be. Disambiguation doesn’t need to be consistent, we use whatever disambiguates the title sufficiently. In his case, (Australian soldier) is sufficient to disambiguate his article. “Australian” to disambiguate him from any non-Australian Charles Green’s such as the British general and Canadian flying ace of the same name, and “soldier” provides his profession and implies Army.

And this isn’t an RM that will be brought to the attention of the wider community, so please read WP:RSPM and treat it as a contested move. Thanks, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 21:18, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
