Comments

 * His nickname is not mentioned anywhere in the body of the article so, it needs a cite in the info box.
 * This is not in the sources close to hand. Will retrieve the main source (Austin, 1924) from my local library early next week to check this.
 * Strangely, I cannot find where I got Fulton's nickname. I have deleted it for the time being. Zawed (talk) 05:23, 6 January 2014 (UTC)


 * In the lead
 * Second Boer War (which is linked) not Boer War so its clear which one it is. ✅
 * Link Transvaal ✅
 * Furlough is an Americanism I would leave it as leave, also it should have been linked at first use. Sick leave ✅
 * Western Front needs linking ✅
 * to die on active service or were killed on active service - ref is for killed I presume ✅
 * Early life
 * I would add a ref here - Fulton was born at Dalhousie in India on 15 August 1869. - even if ref name as its a statement of fact.
 * I hadn't realised it wasn't covered by cite 1 - the stuff about his father was inserted later in the writing of this article. I think the cite for location will come from Austin so will check this.
 * Yes, as I suspected this fact came from Austin. Now cited. Zawed (talk) 05:23, 6 January 2014 (UTC)


 * I would red link Dunedin City Guards, as there seems enough for an article ✅
 * Military career
 * Were not all the Indian Regiments 'native' instead - which provided officers for the regiments of the Indian Army. ✅
 * Boer War
 * As above Second Boer War ✅
 * Link captain ✅
 * link commandos ✅
 * link Transvaal ✅
 * returned to his Indian Army unit - Indian Army regiment ✅
 * awarded the Distinguished Service Order - invested as a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order ✅
 * First World War
 * Furlough - leave ✅
 * command of an infantry battalion - do we know which one ?
 * I think it was the only infantry battalion of the SEF, but will check this.
 * It was a composite infantry battalion, the only infantry that was part of the SEF. Have changed to refer to "the infantry battalion". Zawed (talk) 05:23, 6 January 2014 (UTC)


 * link Wellington ✅
 * Senussi Campaign
 * he was appointed commander of a regiment... initially known as the Trentham Regiment - do we know what it was later called and add to inf box
 * It became the NZ Rifle Brigade (with the addition of two more battalions).


 * Fulton remained in Cairo for a time but by January 1916 joined his command in the field - what command its not clear ✅
 * Major-General A. Wallace ✅
 * The Rifle Brigade - The brigade or New Zealand Rifle Brigade ✅
 * Have also abbreviated to NZRB; in some places, I refer to "the brigade" to avoid close repetition of NZRB.


 * to command of the brigade's 1st Battalion - did the battalion not have a regimental name ? The New Zealand Division calls them X Battalion New Zealand Rifle Brigade
 * The battalions were numbered. I have chosen not to recite the full name.


 * Western Front
 * link Armentieres ✅
 * Fulton led the Rifle Brigade - as above brigade etc ✅
 * he was appointed a Companion - invested ✅
 * front lines can be linked ✅
 * Fulton returned to the brigade in November, and despite his time away from the brigade, the second brigade is redundant ✅
 * He had also been mentioned twice in dispatches during the year - He had also been mentioned in dispatches twice ✅
 * link Western Front ✅ (added to first para of this section)
 * link Colincamps ✅
 * link artillery barrage ✅
 * Doullens can be linked but not the cemetery ✅
 * link Brockenhurst ✅
 * I know its linked but French could be added here - awarded the Croix de Guerre
 * Not sure what you meant here as link is to French name; I have italicised?
 * Actually, I think I figured out what you may have meant; have linked to the French award for WWI. Zawed (talk) 04:52, 4 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Notes
 * web links need an access date ✅
 * Suggestion
 * The London Gazette could be used to beef up the references for his military service and
 * Have added one for his promotion to lieutenant in 1894.
 * This is a really good article, well done, just some very minor points. Happy to discuss any changes. Jim Sweeney (talk) 10:05, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the comprehensive review Jim. I have addressed most of your points, commented on a couple of others and there are a couple more for which I need to get a book out of my local library for confirmation. I'll do this on Monday/Tuesday. Zawed (talk) 20:07, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Jim, I have responded to all your points now. Let me know if there are

any other issues. Zawed (talk) 05:23, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
