  • ... that George Pigot's 130th Regiment of Foot, raised in 1794, was disbanded just two years later after suffering heavy losses due to tropical disease?

5x expanded by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 09:01, 30 June 2021 (UTC).Reply

  • Article has been expanded 5x so is both new and long enough. Cited hook is referenced. Article appears to be within policy. Submitter just needs to carry out their QPQ before it can be ticked off. ISD (talk) 11:48, 30 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Forgive me for the omission. The George Pigot article to me also seems to fit all the critera. It is a new article rather than a 5x expanded one, but it still fits all the other requirements. Just need the second QPQ. ISD (talk) 05:34, 2 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
Thanks ISD and Mandarax, second QPQ now completed. I see what you mean about the closeness of the links. How's the ALT below? - Dumelow (talk) 06:57, 2 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
ALT1:... that the 130th Regiment of Foot, raised by George Pigot in 1794, was disbanded just two years later after suffering heavy losses due to tropical disease?
  Yes that all appears fine. I prefer the ALT1 hook too. ISD (talk) 10:10, 2 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
