Royal Gloucestershire Hussars[edit]

Nominator(s): Factotem (talk) 17:14, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Royal Gloucestershire Hussars was a yeomanry regiment that had a fairly quiet time of it when the yeomanry was the nation's primary constabulary. In the Second World War the regiment was unfortunate to be one of the early tank units that suffered so heavily from British inability to build good tanks and learn how to use them. It lives on today as a squadron in the Royal Wessex Yeomanry. The images were scrutinised during the article's successful MilHist A-Class review, but since then I've replaced one with File:Rgh-all.png, which I hope passes licensing muster. The article uses one primary source, the 2nd Royal Gloucestershire Hussars war diary. I do not believe I have violated WP:PRIMARY in its usage. This can be verified at http://www.warlinks.com/armour/2nd_rgh/2nd_rgh_41.php (links to 1942 and 1943 diary entries are at the bottom of that page); I have personally checked the actual diary, and facts in the article that are sourced to it are as presented on that website. I hope that this article meets the standards for FA status. Factotem (talk) 17:14, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me but there some things that could done better:

Other than that, I see no further issues. Ping me when you think it has been solved. Good luck. Also, if possible, could you check this FAC?Tintor2 (talk) 00:44, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your input. Factotem (talk) 14:49, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Giving you my support. Hope it becomes a FA.Tintor2 (talk) 16:34, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sources reviewe[edit]

Very little here:

Otherwise, all sources are in excellent order and of appropriate quality/reliability. Brianboulton (talk) 15:30, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Appreciate your help. Thank you. Factotem (talk) 15:47, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support from PM

Thank you. Appreciate your help both here and in the ACR. I've reinstated the tanks used by 2RGH in the Western Desert, as this information comes up repeatedly in the main narrative. I've also added that post-war the regiment was equipped with armoured cars, to clearly distinguish from its wartime role, but I'm not keen on specifying all the equipment – the light tanks and the post-war armoured cars – as these don't feature prominently in the narrative and, I think, do not warrant a mention in the lead per MOS:LEAD. Hope that's reasonable. Factotem (talk) 09:26, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds fair. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 00:22, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Image review

I was under the impression that PD-1923 was a worldwide thing. Reading the actual license would have told me that it wasn't. Silly me. I've found the sculptor's name, amended the license based on his year of death (1938), and updated the author info with sourced data. Factotem (talk) 19:32, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Nikkimaria: Is this OK now? Factotem (talk) 11:23, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, looks good. Nikkimaria (talk) 13:08, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Grand. Thanks for your help. Factotem (talk) 13:14, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from CPA-5

Here am i like a promised let see i have a lot of comments. I hope this would help you. CPA-5 (talk) 19:18, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Territorial Force" is always used in full and never abbreviated in the article, so I don't believe there is any requirement to introduce the abbreviation.
Done.
Done
Per MOS:HON, honourifics are optional after first mention.
Does not have a page.
Already explained in the article.
All of the units listed below are one of: already linked on first mention; exist only as a redirect; have no article.
Per MOS:COMPASS, compass points are hyphenated in BrEng.
Done
As above
Done
As above
Ranks now linked, but the people do not have articles in Wikipedia
Source states "1st Armoured Division Tank Delivery Regiment", and I don't see anything wrong with how it is now.
I've added the abbreviation on first mention in the main body. I'm not sure there's a requirement to add it in the lead.
I don't believe there's any requirement to abbreviate regiment names just for the sake of it, and as the full name for this regiment is always stated in this article, I don't believe there's a need to abbreviate it.
That information does not exist in the sources.
See above under Royal Wessex Yeomanry. As a general point, where I've used abbreviations they are always introduced after the first full mention. If there is no abbreviation, I always use the full name.
Not sure what the difference is here. Is it just the quote marks? If so, it's a quotebox, which is I believe a form of blockquote, for which quotes must not be used per MOS:BQ.
That info is given in the commons description, though why is that relevant?
Thanks for your help. I've either made the suggested changes and marked them as done or explained why I'm unable to make any changes as applicable. Factotem (talk) 20:24, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support Thanks for explaining why you are unable to make any changes but hey i am just saying what i think it is correct anyway i didn't found anything else good job. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 21:46, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
And I appreciate your comments. Your input identified some errors and resulted in an improved article. Thank you. Factotem (talk) 09:01, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Closing comment: Between this review, and a very thorough A-Class review, I think we have covered everything. Sarastro (talk) 12:21, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
