Talk:Vietnam War order of battle: Australia

Suggestion

G'day, overall this looks quite good. The only suggestion I have is to make it a little clearer what the citations cover. For instance, do they cover the whole section, or just the line they appear on? e.g. see the RAN section, do the citations just cover the helicopter flight, or the vessels as well? It might also be added (as prose) the fluctuations in the number of infantry battalions deployed, and the way they rotated, to make it clear that not all were deployed at the same time. Great work creating this, though. Cheers, AustralianRupert (talk) 23:40, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Howdy, thanks for looking over this and for the cmts. All good points, I think this is mostly the drawback of the format I've adopted though. As such I will keep it as is for now as I'm not really interesting in investing any more time in moving this fwd at the moment (this was just something I did whilst I couldn't sleep). I will of cse keep these points in mind if / when I decide to come back to it at a later date though. Cheers. Anotherclown (talk) 00:09, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

This is a fine bit of work. To add to AR's suggestions above, I'd also suggest adding the months for the dates which the major combat units arrived and departed. Nick-D (talk) 00:22, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

No worries, I think I've started quite a few articles that way! A simple change/solution might just be to add a stem sentence to each section (something like: "The following Australian Army units were deployed:", with the generic refs that cover the whole section after the colon and then have dot pointed unit listings.

Gday gents, I've made a few tweaks on the basis of these cmts now. Nick - months is a good idea will look to incorporate shortly. Anotherclown (talk) 10:19, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Done the dates now, thanks again. Anotherclown (talk) 02:01, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
