Comments: This article is quite good overall, I have a few minor comments and suggestions: AustralianRupert (talk) 06:41, 23 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

  • the Earwig tool didn't detect any copyright violations (no action required);
  • there are no dab links and ext links all work (no action required);
  • "pool of armoured units from which units and sub-units could be provided to augment infantry forces": --> repetition (units from which units). Perhaps "pool of armoured units and sub-units which could be provided to augment infantry forces"?
  • " from that brigade group to the 4th Armoured Brigade" --> " from that formation to the 4th Armoured Brigade"?
  • "where the Stuart tanks proved too lightly-armoured to be effective.[6]": just checking the source, I'm not sure where it says that the Stuarts were too lightly-armoured specifically. Is there another source that says this?
  • "Singleton, New South Wales on 10 March 1943": probably needs a second comma after "New South Wales";
  • "occupation duties in Japan": maybe work in a link to the British Commonwealth Occupation Force here?
  • "File:Aust 4th Armoured Bde at Southport 1944 (AWM 063203).jpg": probably needs a PD-US-1996 licence in addition to the one that is currently used;
  • "File:Infantry tank (AWM 089471).jpg": same as above, also probably needs the date field filled out, and "Not stated at source" (or similar) added to the author field (on the image description page)
  • I wonder if potentially the official histories would have anything else (probably not necessary for this review, but if you take it to ACR, I'd suggest adding some refs to The New Guinea Offensives and The Final Campaigns);
  • I suggest adding a Further reading section with Paul Handel's 2003 work Dust, Sand & Jungle: A History of Australian Armour During Training and Operations, 1927–1948 (full details in the 2/6th Armoured Regiment article)
    • Thanks for those comments, as well as your edits. I've actioned all of them, including adding material from the official histories. Nick-D (talk) 00:25, 24 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
