source review tips
To check as many errors as possible in the references and/or notes, I recommend using User:Lingzhi/reviewsourcecheck in conjunction with two other scripts. You can install them as follows: When you've added all those, go to an article to check for various messages in its notes and references. (You may need to clear your browser's cache first). The output of User:Lingzhi/reviewsourcecheck is not foolproof and can be verbose. Use common sense when interpreting output (especially with respect to sorting errors). Reading the explanatory page will help more than a little. The least urgent message of all is probably Missing archive link; archiving weblinks is good practice but lack of archiving will probably not be mentioned in any content review.

 * First, copy/paste  to Special:MyPage/common.js.
 * On the same page and below that script add . Save that page.
 * Finally go to to Special:MyPage/common.css and add.

1st Division and Shanghai
I know this is basically just a throw-away sentence compared to the subject matter, however I have not been able to corroborate in any other source and the cited material is not accessible. What does the source say on this subject, that the entire division was deployed (all nine battalions)? It's clearly something that should be added to the division's article and to the GOCs for the time period (since Armitage and Alexander's articles make no mention of it).EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 23:55, 18 December 2022 (UTC)


 * The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography text says: "In autumn 1936 he left the War Office to become commander Royal Artillery, 1st division, at Aldershot. The division was sent to Shanghai but the artillery remained behind. In September 1937 he was made commandant of the Staff College with the rank of major-general: a meteoric rise at a time of relative stagnation in the promotion system."

 * Adam's biography may have more detail, but I don't have access to my books at the present time. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  19:25, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
