Battle of Tsimba Ridge

 * Nominator(s): AustralianRupert (talk)

Part of a series of articles I have worked on relating to the battles fought as part of the Bougainville campaign of the Second World War. I have developed this article over the course of six years, and recently taken it to GAN. I would like to improve it further through the ACR process. Thank you to all who stop by to review. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 12:27, 20 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Support
 * I reviewed at GA in April and have read over the additions since then and believe it meets the A class criteria (no action req'd).
 * All tool checks look fine (no dabs, has alt text, no citation errors detected, no duplicate links, Earwig tool reveals no issues with close paraphrase / copy vio - only a wiki mirror (no action req'd)
 * Image review: All images look PD to me and have the req'd information and templates (no action req'd).
 * Captions look fine to me (no action req'd).
 * Some minor suggestions:
 * Add issns and place of publication for newspaper articles listed in the references
 * Add wikilinks to notable authors (e.g. Horner, Long etc).
 * Otherwise this looks fine to me. Anotherclown (talk) 22:21, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Support Comments Off to another fine start Rupert! Some very minor comments: That's it! Maury Markowitz (talk) 20:32, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Lieutenant Colonel Shinzo Nakamura.[2] Nakamura, who according - suggest making this two paras at this point.
 * south of the river.[13] Described by war - maybe make a break here? Not so married to this one but it might work.
 * in the sector; this barrage - two sentences here.
 * captured intact, while another group - and here.
 * capture two 70 mm guns - link to Type 92.
 * headed north along the tracks around - I assume these are not railway tracks, so perhaps an adjective would be useful here - "jungle tracks" or similar?
 * while the approaches to the ridge were largely open to observation - I believe you mean "while most of the approaches to the ridge were open to observation"?
 * The Australians estimated that 66 Japanese had been killed defending the ridge and also captured a large amount of equipment - this suggests the Japanese captured the equipment, which I think is the opposite of what happened.
 * G'day, Maury, thank you for taking a look at this. I've implemented these changes with this edit: . Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 21:03, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Support -- pls let me know any concerns with my copyedit; assuming it's okay, no concerns with prose, structure, or sources (I note AC's checked images); not an expert on the Bougainville ground campaign but detail seems appropriate and tone neutral.

 * Thanks for your time, Ian. Very happy with your edits, cheers. AustralianRupert (talk) 13:06, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
