 * Comments
 * All sources seem reliable
 * the licensing of File:Sp-33 mine.jpg seems kinda suspect
 * Yeah, I looked at it. The user only uploaded two photos, this and the FMK mine image also used in the article.  I looked around and couldn't see them used anywhere else online though.  They also edited the Halcón ML-63 Argentine SMG article.  I figured they may have some experience with the Argentine military, during which they took the photos - Dumelow (talk) 10:59, 31 December 2020 (UTC)


 * I'm not convinced the bolding of the title really fits here == unbolding it would also let you get a link to the Islands in the first sentence, which I do think would fit here
 * Agreed, debolded and linked - Dumelow (talk) 08:57, 31 December 2020 (UTC)


 * " In the intervening years" not clear what years it's 'intervening'-- suggest in the following years or something
 * Agreed, changed - Dumelow (talk) 08:57, 31 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Can you specify when the first efforts ended?
 * Yes, one of your new sources stated 1983. Added - Dumelow (talk) 09:59, 31 December 2020 (UTC)


 * "The mine fields were signed and fenced to warn visitors; no civilians have " I don't think the tenses line up here
 * I've expanded this section a little and split this part out - Dumelow (talk) 10:30, 31 December 2020 (UTC)


 * "The deadline was subsequently amended by agreement to 1 March 2019 and then to 1 June 2021; this was at the request of the British government owing to the high cost and slow outputs of clearance work" I think this may flow more naturally along the lines of "was subsequently amended at the request of the British government to 1 March and then 1 June, due to the high..." but I'm not sure
 * Done - Dumelow (talk) 09:59, 31 December 2020 (UTC)


 * "used to verify that areas are clear " again, not sure the tenses line up how they should
 * Agreed, changed are to were


 * "in the first phase of operations" what is the 'first phase'?
 * God rid of this, not sure it's really that relevant - Dumelow (talk) 10:30, 31 December 2020 (UTC)


 * "around 5 linear metres of a " should be converted, somehow?
 * Done - Dumelow (talk) 10:30, 31 December 2020 (UTC)


 * "The Argentinian records are generally good " good being 'accurate' or something else?
 * Not sure where I got that from. The sources uses "not entirely reliable". I've amended this to match that - Dumelow (talk) 10:46, 31 December 2020 (UTC)


 * "Records for mine fields on West Falkland were patchier " than what?
 * Reworded - Dumelow (talk) 10:46, 31 December 2020 (UTC)


 * "Once a mine field was cleared and proven safe" how were they proven safe?
 * Not sure, source just says cleared so removed to match that - Dumelow (talk) 10:59, 31 December 2020 (UTC)


 * was the O-Revealer actually used in the Falkland Islands?
 * I can't find anything suggesting that it was ever deployed anywhere in the world. I've previously thought about removing it completely and have now done so - Dumelow (talk) 10:59, 31 December 2020 (UTC)


 * "mines and releasing of previously inaccessible" what does "releasing" mean here?
 * Reworded - Dumelow (talk) 10:59, 31 December 2020 (UTC)


 * "By this time 70% of all known land mines " by the end or beginning of that season?
 * Date added - Dumelow (talk) 10:59, 31 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Why would Argentina criticize the british operation for not including them? I'd expect them to be happy as they didn't have to pay for it?
 * It's all tied up in the sovereignty issue. They were claiming a violation of a 1976 UN General Assembly resolution against unilateral actions.  I've expanded on this in the article - Dumelow (talk) 10:38, 31 December 2020 (UTC)


 * my ce is here, do change anything you're not happy with. Eddie891 Talk Work 19:55, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Sourcing
 * Anything to add from articles like, , , (from the abstract:"he background relating to the 14th July 1999 Joint Statement is considered in some detail as it relates to [...] land mines [...] on the Falkland Islands"
 * Good finds, I've incorporated some useful info into the article - Dumelow (talk) 09:59, 31 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Spotcheck comes up clean
 * Very nice work, holding. Eddie891 Talk Work 20:05, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
