• Version of the article when originally reviewed: [1]
• Version of the article when review was closed: [2]

• Citations: The Citation Check tool reveal no issues with reference consolidation (no action req'd).
• Disambiguations: no dab links [3] (no action req'd)
• Linkrot: no dead links [4] (no action req'd)
• Alt text: images lack alt text so you might consider adding it [5] (not a GA requirement, suggestion only).
• Copyright violations: The Earwig Tool seems to return a false possible (seems to be due to detecting repeated similarities which are unavoidable like names of people and places, dates and battle honours) [6] as the Duplicate Detector makes it clear there are no issues [7] (no action req'd).
• Duplicate links: a few repeat links to be removed:
  • South Australia
  • 10th Battalion

• It is reasonably well written.

  a (prose): b ( MoS):

  • The appears to be a typo in Note 2: "A number of the battalion's initial volunteers were also recruited Broken Hill, in outback New South Wales." Seems to be missing a word, consider instead: "A number of the battalion's initial volunteers were also recruited from Broken Hill, in outback New South Wales."
  • Seems a bit informal: "...the 2/10th belonged to the 18th Brigade...", consider perhaps "...was part of..." or "...was under command of..." (suggestion only)
  • Perhaps wikilink Tidworth (seems to be misspelt as Tidsworth in this article although I think this is common in a number of sources).
  • Wikilink Wanigela (to Wanigela, Oro Province).
  • This sentence runs on: "After a period of rest and reorganisation in Australia during which the units of the 2nd AIF were converted to the Jungle Division establishment while based around Ravenshoe, Queensland." Perhaps reword somehow?
  • This sentence is quite long and should probably be split: "Although the battalion undertook a series of local patrols after this, the fighting around Parramatta constituted the last of the 2/10th's major actions of the war, and after the hostilities ended in mid-August following Japan's surrender the battalion's personnel were slowly repatriated back to Australia in drafts for discharge, while others – 70 in total – were transferred to other units for subsequent service in the 34th Brigade for occupation duties as part of the British Commonwealth Occupation Force in Japan."

• It is factually accurate and verifiable.

  a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c ( OR):

  • Article is well referenced with all major points cited to WP:RS.
  • No issues with OR that I could see.

• It is broad in its coverage.

  a (major aspects): b (focused):

  • All major points seem to be covered without unnecessary detail.
  • Uses effective summary style whilst place actions of the unit in the appropriate context.

• It follows the neutral point of view policy.

  a (fair representation): b (all significant views):

  • No issues I could see.

• It is stable.

  No edit wars etc.:

  • No issues here.

• It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.

  a (tagged and captioned): b (Is illustrated with appropriate images): c (non-free images have fair use rationales): d public domain pictures appropriately demonstrate why they are public domain:

  • Images are free / PD and seem to have the req'd information / templates.
  • Captions look ok.

• Overall:

  a Pass/Fail:

  • This is a very good article in my opinion, only a few prose nitpicks and wikilinks that I could spot. Happy to discuss any points you disagree with. Anotherclown ( talk) 06:38, 19 September 2014 (UTC) reply
