The information is incorrect regarding 2 CDO being awarded the UCG. It was actually awarded to the 4 RAR (CDO). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.90.70.31 ( talk) 06:28, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
@ Melbguy05: - Information in the lead should reflect what is in the article and usually repeats the information that is in the body (where that information should be referenced) - pls see the relevant policy at WP:LEAD. As such this should not be removed from the body of the article as it was here [1]. I understand from your edit summary that you removed it because it was duplicated in the body and the lead, but that is actually per policy. All the best.

@ Melbguy05: - IRT you removing "elite" from the lead [4] I agree with you on that score. Just be aware though that there is a history to this and the reason it was there (just as it was with the SASR article previously) was that this actually has been an issue raised by other editors in the past. Hence why it was there with a reference etc. I'm happy for it to be removed but if it is challenged by someone it may need to be discussed. Anotherclown ( talk) 22:19, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello,
I would just like to point out one small mistake that I saw with the following:
- Last paragraph on Formation "Regardless, the name 4 RAR remains on the Army's order of battle and its history, colours..."
The name 4 RAR does not appear on the Australian Army's order of battle. The unit is referred to as "2nd Commando Regiment" or "2 Commando."

@ Nick-D: A former commando in a 2015 article named several foreign special forces units that either force elements or individual commandos had served with. [1] The author didn’t distinguish between the units; whether it was a force element or individual commandos or a combination of both. The wording I used was "The regiment or individual commandos have conducted operations" [5]. I reverted a change to the wording by an unregistered user that replaced "or" with "and" [6] and it now has been changed back to "and" [7]. My wording was hair-splitting. I would appreciate your, and other editors, views on the most appropriate wording. regards-- Melbguy05 ( talk) 11:21, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
