WPMILHIST assessment comment

[edit]

There is a lot of good information in the article. These are the reasons that I assessed B1=n and B2=n.

  • (B1) There are several uncited parts of the article.
  • (B2) for coverage. One quote is stated twice during the article; once is enough. The article made it clear that Brigadier Smith was controversial. However, there was little information about how this general officer led his troops, other than vague quotes from allegedly hostile sources. Are there any specific incidents to justify either praise or criticism of Smith's conduct? What seems to be lacking is an account of 14th Brigade's battles. Without that it is hard to say whether Smith was an effective commander or not. The USA leaders in the Buna-Gona campaign also came under harsh criticism.
