    B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines:

  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:  
Issues
  • Duplicate links: African Distinguished Conduct Medal, Mentioned in Dispatches
  • The abbreviation RWAFF appears without being defined (although we can guess it). It begs a question though: when did the WAFF become Royal?
  • "the Gambia Regiment were put in brigade reserve" -> "the Gambia Regiment was put in brigade reserve"
  • "Pi Chaun" -> " Pi Chaung"
  • "12 miles" Use the {{convert}} template to convert to km

@Hawkeye7: Thank you for promptly taking a look at the article! I've made all the adjustments you have suggested. I have removed duplicate links, explained (in the interwar section) when the RWAFF gained royal patronage, changed the grammatical errors, put in the convert template (which I didn't even know existed, I'll use this more regularly now), linked Prince Philip, and most importantly, cited the COs and battle honours sections. I have also placed an 'incomplete list' template on the COs section, owing to the fact that it *is* incomplete. If there's anything else, let me know. Jeffrolland (talk) 10:03, 20 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
All good then. Great to see a subject like this being tackled. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 11:26, 20 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
