Jørgen Jensen (soldier)
Instructions for nominators and reviewers
 * Nominator(s): 

The latest in my series on South Australian Victoria Cross recipients. Jensen was a Danish-born immigrant to Australia who was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions at Noreuil, France in April 1917 while serving with the 50th Battalion. His citation for the award mentions that he pulled a grenade from his pocket and pulled out the pin with his teeth! I think I've gathered up all the material regarding him that is available. All constructive comments welcome. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 03:29, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Support: G'day, PM, looks pretty good to me. I have the following suggestions: AustralianRupert (talk) 09:03, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * images seem appropriately licensed to me (no action required)
 * images lack alt text, which you might consider adding (although it isn't a requirement)
 * there are no dabs or dup links, and the ext links all work (no action required)
 * in the References, Bean could be linked, as could the Official History of Australia in the War of 1914–1918
 * in the References, "Daily Post" should probably be presented in italics
 * in the References, "JENSEN JORGAN CHRISTIAN" probably could be decapitalised per MOS:ALLCAPS
 * I'm not quite sure what this means: Christiane, known as Jensen, although I note this is in the ADB source also. This source seems to indicate the mother's name was Sorensen:
 * entering the trenches for the first time on 28 June: do we know where they entered the line?
 * slightly repetitious: captured 70 Germans, nearly all of whom were captured by Jensen and his party --> captured 70 Germans, nearly all of whom were taken by Jensen and his party
 * suggest maybe starting a new paragraph here: In July, Jensen was temporarily promoted...
 * On 5 April, the battalion took up positions at Dernancourt: link Second Battle of Dernancourt?
 * repatriated to Australia in August: suggest adding the year here, just as a reminder. Also, I wonder if it should be mentioned that he was returned as part of a recruiting campaign?
 * Thanks for the review, Rupert! All done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 01:15, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * No worries, happy to help, plus it gave me something to read while I wallow on the couch with a hideous flu! Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 01:30, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Support This is an excellent article, and easily meets the A-class criteria. My only suggestion is that the date of Jensen's VC action should probably be noted in the lead. Nick-D (talk) 10:29, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking a look, Nick! Done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 01:15, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Link Melbourne
 * MOS:DATERANGE says to use nadashes and not slashes in date ranges
