Comment well it looks like us three got everything. Chris, is there anything remaining?--White Shadows you're breaking up 19:56, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
- Well-written
- Background section
- In the last sentence of fourth paragraph, put "(Indonesia since 1949)" after Dutch East Indies. Done Diannaa TALK 03:09, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- In the last sentence of the fifth paragraph, change "...in January 1940 (the Mechelen incident)." to "...in January 1940 in what becamse known as the Mechelen incident." Done Diannaa TALK 03:09, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- In the final sentence of the final paragraph, why did Britain and France refuse the Netherlands in joining the Allies side in 1940? Elaborate.
- The Dutch Army subsection
- In the seventh sentence of the lead paragraph, change this to that. Done Diannaa TALK 03:09, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- Also how much is NLG1.5 million worth today even though that the Netherlands' currency is now in €?
- NLG 1.5 million would buy you €680,670 today. Diannaa TALK 22:20, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- The €680,670 number reflects the 2002 exchange rate, the year the currency was converted. It wouldn't be very helpful to give the reader an idea about the purchasing power in the early thirties. I've been unable to find exact data for military goods but the general price level in that period was about fifteen to twenty times lower than today. However, it seems like a bit of OR to indicate this.--MWAK (talk) 06:57, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
- NLG 1.5 million would buy you €680,670 today. Diannaa TALK 22:20, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- In the final sentence of the third paragraph, why did the Netherlands' attempt to procure captured Soviet armor in Finland fail?
- The occupation of Norway and Denmark by Germany would likely be why....--White Shadows you're breaking up 01:23, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
- Indeed so; it was the Dutch envoy in Norway who had been ordered on 30 March to contact the Finnish and he had quite other things on his mind after 8 April...--MWAK (talk) 06:57, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
- I would imagine. Thanks MWAK.--White Shadows you're breaking up 01:30, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

- Use {{Covert}} for the 5 mile in the fourth sentence of the final paragraph. Done Diannaa TALK 03:09, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- 14 May subsection
- In the fourth paragraph's fourth sentence, should "Regimett" be spelled "Regiment"? For the seventh sentence, what does Führer-Weisung Nr. 11 mean in English?
- I've fixed the first issue that you stated and Führer-Weisung Nr. 11 means Führer-directive No. 11 in English.--White Shadows you're breaking up 21:53, 18 April 2010 (UTC) I have placed the translation in the article. Diannaa TALK 20:15, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- Aftermath section
- Factually accurate and verifiable.
- Links that were in inline cites are valid.
- Main issue has to do with a majority of the references being offline (i.e. book, magazines), making verification more challenging than usual.
- Broad in coverage
- Covers all aspects of the battle, including prelude, order, events, and aftermath.
- Neutral
- No issues. Looks good.
- Stable
- Last edit was done on 10 April.
- Images
- All images are valid.
- For the Panzer I tank images in the German strategy and forces section, put 2005 in the caption.
- Done.--White Shadows you're breaking up 21:44, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
- In the 12 May subsection, put 2005 in the caption for The Grebbeberg caption.
- Done.--White Shadows you're breaking up 21:44, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
- In the surrender of the Dutch Army section on Winkelman leaving the school, the caption is misleading since there is a Wehrmacht soldier on the left side of the image. Winkleman is actually in the center.
- Done.--White Shadows you're breaking up 21:44, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
- Overall
- Hold. Minor things to do, but can be done to get to GA.
