Criteria

[edit]
  • It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    • I think the birth date here might be in error: "Major General Colin Hall Simpson, CBE, MC, VD (13 April 1896 – 23 August 1964)...", in the infobox and the body of the article you have him born in 1894.
    • "He served with the 49th (Prahran) Battalion...", can 49th Bn be wikilinked?
    • Typo here I think: "The news that Yugoslavia had offered to surrender reach Blamey...", perhaps "The news that Yugoslavia had offered to surrender reached Blamey..."
    • This reads a little awkwardly for me: "He organised the The Association, a right wing paramilitary organisation headed by Blamey which was established to counter a possible communist coup." Specifically "the The Association". Could this possibly be reworded? Also I wonder if it would be benificial to add that it was a clandistine organisation (minor point)?
  • It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    • All major points cited using WP:RS.
    • Consistent citation style used throughout.
    • No issues with OR.
    • Mallett, Ross A. (2007). Australian Army Logistics 1943–1945. University of New South Wales. Retrieved 31 October 2011 lacks a place of publishing. Is this available?
  • It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    • All major points are covered without going into undue detail.
    • "Simpson participated in the Battle of Passchendale where he was gassed and wounded for the second time...", are there any details available for the first time he was wounded?
  • It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    a (fair representation): b (all significant views):
    • No issues here.
  • It is stable.
    No edit wars etc.:
    • All recent edits look constructive.
  • It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
    a (tagged and captioned): b (Is illustrated with appropriate images): c (non-free images have fair use rationales): d public domain pictures appropriately demonstrate why they are public domain:
    • Images used are all in the public domain and seem appropriate for the article.
