List of commanders of the British 4th Division[edit]

Nominator(s): EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 20:01, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The 4th Division was initially raised in 1809 for service in the Napoleonic Wars, and then formed again for service in the Crimean and the Second Boer Wars. In the early 1900s, new 4th Divisions were formed, renumbered, and formed again. It served in the First World War and the Second World Wars, and was raised, disbanded, and renamed a whole bunch of times through to its final disbanding. Three of the individuals listed were killed in action, five were wounded, and one was captured. This was previously nominated although the process stalled as I ended up on a wikibreak. Back in action and looking to finalize this one. The points raised in the previously nomination have hopefully all been addressed. Look forward to any feedback to whip this into shape as needed.EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 20:01, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

Galbraith Lowry Cole sorts under L, suggesting that Lowry was part of his surname, yet in the notes column you refer to him as just Cole, suggesting that Lowry was in fact a forename. Which is correct?
After taking a look at his article and family articles, it should just be Cole. I have updated so it should search correctly now.
"Lambton was incapacitated on 12 September 1917" - complete sentence so needs a full stop
"Lipsett was killed in action on 14 October 1918" - and this one
"The division was reformed in England" - this one too :-)
The above all addressed
"On 13 December 1934, Brind was temporary assigned" - temporarily, surely?
Quite, and fixed.
"On 1 January 1978, the formation was redesignated as the 4th Armoured Division" - another note that needs a full stop
"The division was reformed in England" - this one likewise :-)
Added for both
Think that's all I got - great work! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:06, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dank[edit]

The first FLC for this was archived in May; I've checked the diff since then, and everything I said there still goes, so ...
Support. Please consider reviewing my FLC nomination, or if there's some issue that is getting in the way of that, please tell me what it is. - Dank (push to talk) 17:43, 5 January 2023 (UTC) P.S. I'm running a 102 degree fever at the moment ... you should have seen me trying to write correct regex, it was a hoot ... so if that question came across as pointed, please ignore it, that's not what I was feeling. I just wonder sometimes why I don't get more reviews than I get ... it may be something simple that I'm missing. - Dank (push to talk) 02:44, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your review and comments. No worries about wording, and I am hoping you are feeling much better! Re: reviews, I use to try and do them but stopped many years ago as I never felt comfortable doing them.EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 18:45, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not a problem. - Dank (push to talk) 18:55, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Image and source reviews – The one image used in the article has an appropriate free license, caption and alt text, so no problems there. Ref 82 is to a Who's Who website, which aren't typically the most reliable in the world. A better source for the Timothy Sullivan entry would be great, if possible. Otherwise, the sources are reliable and well-formatted, and the link-checker shows no issues. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:47, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for review and comments. I was able to access the Army List for 1999 and 2000 via Google Snippet View, and I am 99 per cent sure they support Sulivan as the GOC for the 4th Division during that period (via being able to see the index, what pages he is cited on, and what page details the 4th Division; snippet view does not allow to view the whole page to be 100 per cent). From the other entries in those two, it does not look like they are the older ones that also provide the appointment date. If anyone has full access to either, they could be used to supplement the Who's Who cite.

I double checked the Gazette and The Times, and he is not mentioned in relation to the division in either (this also happened just after the Second World War too, not sure why the late 90s seems to be the same). Likewise, I couldn't find any reliable source that discusses appointments for the division or him in this period. If I recall correctly, I obtained the Who's Who cite after requesting assistance after exhausting all other resources.EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 15:18, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
