1st Passchendaele
Greetings Zawed, it was nice to see that 3rd Ypres has a new book. Did MacDonald put all the blame on Godley or put his failings into a context of the British machine beginning to break down in other respects too? RegardsKeith-264 (talk) 15:06, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
- Gidday Keith-264, I hope you found the review interesting. Sorry for delay in getting back to you, I have just moved house (downsized actually, to an apartment). Godley cops the lion's share of blame; fundamentally, MacDonald is critical of Godley's leadership style, his focus on his career, the way in which he ran his headquarters and his blind adherence to a timetable regardless of deteriorating conditions. His analysis is more directed at the tactical level (corps/divisional arrangements) rather than at a strategic (army) level. Does that answer your question? Zawed (talk) 08:07, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
- It does thanks. I was most influenced when writing on the page by stories like the air reconnaissance report which erroneously put the front line after Poelcapelle where it was supposed to be, rather than 500 yards west - the sort of practical detail that general remarks about the collapse of links with the rear amount to. It seemed to me that the return of the rains made the successes of 20, 26 Sep and 4 Oct backfire, similar to the dilemmas that the Germans encountered at Verdun the year before - go on or go back, exploit the effect of 4 Oct/9 Oct by having another go quickly. I'll have a go at an inter-library loan considering the price. You might be interested in Krause Early Trench Tactics in the French Army 2013 which makes a good case for the failings of the French and British in 1915 being implementation rather than ignorance of what worked. Hope you're settling in. RegardsKeith-264 (talk) 08:29, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in an interview
Hi Zawed, I'd like to invite you to participate in a group interview in the upcoming August issue of the Military History Wikiproject's newsletter, The Bugle, with editors who work on articles concerning World War I. We're conducting this interview to mark the centenary of the war, and it forms part of a semi-regular series of interviews on thematic topics. If you're able to participate, I'd be grateful if you could post responses to the questions at Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/News/August 2014/Interview by next Sunday 17 July. Please let me know if you have any questions about this. Regards, Nick-D (talk) 10:24, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, I meant 10 August, not 17 July. I shouldn't be typing anything with a heavy cold! Nick-D (talk) 01:18, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

Le Quesnoy
Thank you, I liked it (and added a couple of flourishes) RegardsKeith-264 (talk) 12:42, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback Keith-264, glad you liked it. It was a bit of a challenge as I've only done a couple of battle type articles but this one is easily the most detailed. Thanks for the tweaks you made as well, I totally forgot to do the distance conversions. Cheers. Zawed (talk) 07:49, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
- I find that putting an article in for a B class is the best way of getting a fresh pair of eyes to look things over. I'm redoing 1st Ypres but that's saddled me with three new articles, as well as the last two on the Race to the Sea. It just growed ;O)Keith-264 (talk) 08:07, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Peer review request for Dave Gallaher
Hey Zawed. I notice you have a prodigious record on New Zealand-focused MilHist articles, so was wondering if you could spend the time to contribute to my peer review of Dave Gallaher here. Any feedback at all would be appreciated. Thanks. -- Shudde talk 06:52, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
- Gidday Shudde, I will have a good look at the article shortly but in the meantime I have had a quick look at the military sections and a few things stand out. Ranks shouldn't be capitalised unless being used as a title; i.e "Sergeant Gallaher" is OK but "Gallaher was promoted to Sergeant" is not. In the WWI section, you have two different enlistment dates. The medals are service medals (like his Boer War medals), the way it is written suggests they are gallantry awards. As I say, I will have a closer look over the whole article later and will leave comments on the peer review page. Zawed (talk) 07:20, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
- Hey thanks for that. I'd never have known the capitalisation thing! -- Shudde talk 21:49, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
