Technical review

 * Citations: The Citation Check tool reveal no issues with reference consolidation (no action req'd).
 * Disambiguations: no dab links (no action req'd)
 * Linkrot: no dead links (no action req'd)
 * Alt text: images lack alt text so you might consider adding it (not a GA requirement, suggestion only).
 * Copyright violations: The Earwig Tool seems to return a false possible (seems to be due to detecting repeated similarities which are unavoidable like names of people and places, dates and battle honours) as the Duplicate Detector makes it clear there are no issues  (no action req'd).
 * Duplicate links: a few repeat links to be removed:
 * South Australia
 * 10th Battalion

Criteria

 * It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * The appears to be a typo in Note 2: "A number of the battalion's initial volunteers were also recruited Broken Hill, in outback New South Wales." Seems to be missing a word, consider instead: "A number of the battalion's initial volunteers were also recruited from Broken Hill, in outback New South Wales."
 * Seems a bit informal: "...the 2/10th belonged to the 18th Brigade...", consider perhaps "...was part of..." or "...was under command of..." (suggestion only)
 * Perhaps wikilink Tidworth (seems to be misspelt as Tidsworth in this article although I think this is common in a number of sources).
 * Wikilink Wanigela (to Wanigela, Oro Province).
 * This sentence runs on: "After a period of rest and reorganisation in Australia during which the units of the 2nd AIF were converted to the Jungle Division establishment while based around Ravenshoe, Queensland." Perhaps reword somehow?
 * This sentence is quite long and should probably be split: "Although the battalion undertook a series of local patrols after this, the fighting around Parramatta constituted the last of the 2/10th's major actions of the war, and after the hostilities ended in mid-August following Japan's surrender the battalion's personnel were slowly repatriated back to Australia in drafts for discharge, while others – 70 in total – were transferred to other units for subsequent service in the 34th Brigade for occupation duties as part of the British Commonwealth Occupation Force in Japan."


 * It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * Article is well referenced with all major points cited to WP:RS.
 * No issues with OR that I could see.


 * It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * All major points seem to be covered without unnecessary detail.
 * Uses effective summary style whilst place actions of the unit in the appropriate context.


 * It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * a (fair representation): b (all significant views):
 * No issues I could see.


 * It is stable.
 * No edit wars etc.:
 * No issues here.


 * It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
 * a (tagged and captioned): b (Is illustrated with appropriate images):  c (non-free images have fair use rationales):  d public domain pictures appropriately demonstrate why they are public domain:
 * Images are free / PD and seem to have the req'd information / templates.
 * Captions look ok.


 * Overall:
 * a Pass/Fail:
 * This is a very good article in my opinion, only a few prose nitpicks and wikilinks that I could spot. Happy to discuss any points you disagree with. Anotherclown (talk) 06:38, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
