Suggestions for improvement edit

I have assessed this article as meeting the Military history project's B class criteria. I have the following suggestions for further improvements:

  • expand the lead: currently it is just one sentence. Per WP:LEAD it can be up to four paragraphs long;
  • add ISBNs for the works in the Bibliography;
    • Done.
  • is there a need for a recommended reading section when the work appears to be listed already in the Bibliography?
    • Two different works, titles similar.
  • the works in the Bibliography may look better if they were formatted with the {{cite book}} template (this is not mandatory, however, and is just a suggestion);
  • currently the battle is only in one category, are there any more categories that it might be relevant to?
    • Done.
  • per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Dates the dates should not have ordinal suffixes. For instance "14th of July" should just be "14 July";
    • Done.
  • per WP:MOSTIME the times should have lower case "a.m." instead of upper case;
    • Done.
  • with the images, it might balance the article if they were spread a little more evenly through the article.

Anyway, good work so far and good luck with improving it further. Well done. AustralianRupert (talk) 07:36, 24 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
