Wiltshire Regiment
I would like to get this article peer reviewed. First unit article I have done (well expanded, I did not start it from scratch). Want to see where I need improvements. --HistorianBell 11:07, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

This article is off to a good start. My suggestions for further improvements are:
 * The small sections should probably be combined together so they're at least two or three paras in length
 * Fixed most of those. Will make another pass through.--HistorianBell 18:52, 14 September 2009 (UTC)


 * The article needs more references so that all text is covered by a reference
 * Getting more cites together to cover. (Why do I return library books?) --HistorianBell 18:52, 14 September 2009 (UTC)


 * There seem to be some missing years in the regiment's history (eg, 1849 to 1854). More generally, there seems to be lots of scope to expand upon the Regiment's history.
 * Fixed that, then realized that I need to put in something about the Boer War (yes, somehow I missed a rather large one there.)--HistorianBell 18:52, 14 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Are there any pictures you could include?
 * Added a few, looking for more. (Damnable copyright laws!-only half joking)--HistorianBell 18:52, 14 September 2009 (UTC)


 * There should be some text explaining the 99th Duke of Edinburgh's (Lanarkshire) Regiment of Foot's relationship with this regiment. A 'family tree' type diagram tracing the regiment's lineage would be excellent if you have the data to create one (it's a shame that regiments.org is no longer active).

 * Added "family tree" for the regiment. Their relationship was all due to Mr. Cardwell. Looking to see fi there is more to it.--HistorianBell 18:52, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Just a couple of things at the moment as I'm a bit short of time:


 * The headings should not be capitalised the way the are. "Post-War and Amalgamation" should be "Post-war and amalgamation";
 * Changed--HistorianBell 21:17, 23 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Every paragraph requires an in-line citation for a B class rating, more if multiple sources are used or challengable assertions are made (e.g. quantities, values or dates, etc);
 * Think I have it all cited. Don't think I have any challengeable assertions going. --HistorianBell 21:17, 23 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Some of the images could be aligned to the left;
 * Move them about a bit. --HistorianBell 21:17, 23 September 2009 (UTC)


 * The battle honours section could be formatted so that it is a bit more visually appealing. At the moment it just looks a bit bland. Maybe some bullet points and bolding could help? Also, you could wikilink the battles;
 * Linked as many as I could. (British battle honours and wiki articles do not match up as conveniently as they should. Bad War Office, bad!)--HistorianBell 21:17, 23 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Alt text could be added to the images per WP:ALT;
 * Added--HistorianBell 21:17, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Anyway that is it so far. Hopes this helps. Good work so far. — AustralianRupert (talk) 10:45, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
