Technical review

Citations: The Citation Check tool reveals a few minor issues with reference consolidation:
- Ashworth, How Not to Run an Air Force!, pp. 302–304 (Multiple references contain the same content)
- Ashworth302 (Multiple references are using the same name)
  - Heh, I seem to be doing this more nowadays (or perhaps eagle eyes are just spotting it more!) -- will check/correct. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 00:10, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Criteria

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
- "No. 75 Squadron, replenished after its defence of Port Moresby...", might sound better as: "No. 75 Squadron, reinforced after its defence of Port Moresby..." or something similar (suggestion only - replenished doesn't sound quite right to me that all).
  - Source said "re-equipped and refreshed" -- I guess I could say (paraphrasing but with an extra "and" in the sentence) "rested and reinforced" but thought "replenished" might cover everything in one word. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 00:10, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- "...RAAF Headquarters in Melbourne again assumed full control of all its operational formations, including area commands." Consider instead "...RAAF Headquarters in Melbourne again assumed full control of all its operational formations, including the area commands." (suggestion only)
  - Funny, I had "the" at first then dropped it -- will re-add. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 00:10, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- "Air Commodore Ian McLachlan was appointed AOC in September 1951 and served for some two years in the post before handing over...", consider more simply "Air Commodore Ian McLachlan was appointed AOC in September 1951 and served for two years in the post before handing over..." (suggestion only)
  - "Some" was my old-fashioned substitute for "about" but I think in fact it was almost exactly two years so happy to drop the approximation. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 00:10, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- No MOS issues found.

It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- All major points cited using WP:RS.
- No issues with OR.
- Can isbns or oclcs be added to the AWM, Gillson and Odgers works in the References section? Should be available from World Cat.
  - As with alt text, I always try to make sure they're there but sometimes forget -- wilco. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 00:10, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
- Most major points seem to be covered without going into undue detail.
- Level of coverage seems appropriate.

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.:
- No issues here.

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 are PD and seem appropriate to the article.

Overall:
a Pass/Fail:
- Good article, only a couple of minor technical and prose points above to deal with / discuss. Anotherclown (talk) 19:38, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Tks mate, the area commands represent an organisational level in the RAAF I haven't really visited before so hopefully this provides a decent template for the rest... ;-) Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 00:10, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Done, passing now. Anotherclown (talk) 01:05, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
