 * Hello 1.02, thanks for reviewing. SpinningSpark 07:12, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

I'll be taking over this review, so just doing a watchlist bump right here. Nova Crystallis  (Talk)  18:35, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

 * "Wound up" sounds like a euphemism for a company being folded.
 * "Finished off" is too.
 * I don't see why either of those are a problem. Wound up is no more of a euphemism than folded, and, in fact, has an exact technical meaning of liquidation of the assets of a company in receivership.  The article says as much; the company collapsed in 1938 but was not wound up until the following year.  A euphemism is avoiding directly saying what is meant.  Both those phrases are very direct.

 * Link the United States Army earlier in the article and the 1916 expedition when first mentioned.

 * "After WWI Clydesdale" Write out World War I or add the abbreviation earlier mentions of the war.

 * There's a book preview for the Middleton and Semon book on Google, you should link it.
 * I don't agree with that and will explain why if you ask me outside the GA review, but for now see . <b style="background:#FAFAD2;color:#C08000">Spinning</b><b style="color:#4840A0">Spark</b> 16:43, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Assuming good faith on the sources.

That should be it. Nova Crystallis  (Talk)  04:29, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. I haven't agreed with everything you have said here, but hopefully we can come to a compromise and move forward. <b style="background:#FAFAD2;color:#C08000">Spinning</b><b style="color:#4840A0">Spark</b> 16:43, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm just going to pass it. Not worth the discussions over something tiny. Nova Crystallis   (Talk)  18:48, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
