I have redirected this page to Kokoda Track campaign#Battle of Isurava as the section there has far more detailed information and is a superior article. However, the references from the page prior to redirecting are copied below for anyone wishing to rewrite the page. It does need rewriting; the original AFC decline was for not writing in a formal style. Spinning Spark 00:21, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
User:Spinningspark, ok just wanted to talk about this. It was confusing to me why this was even a redirect; its well-written and notable. But I thought the assessment was worthy because the article as a whole is B. But I do understand your argument. I guess the more important question then is if it should be its own page?

G'day all, I have been slowly creating separate articles for the battles of the Kokoda Track campaign. So far I've written: Battle of Kokoda, Battle of Eora Creek – Templeton's Crossing, Battle of Mission Ridge – Brigade Hill, Battle of Ioribaiwa and Battle of Oivi–Gorari. My editing hasn't been consistent over the past few months due to long hours at work impacting upon my motivation to write; however, I will try to put something together over the next week or two. It will probably be a stub (albeit a well referenced one) at first, but I intend to flesh it out over a couple of weeks. Does anyone have any concerns about this approach? Regards, AustralianRupert ( talk) 00:52, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

which will show as I have made a series of edits to break up some large sentences with a view to making the article more readable (I'm guilty of it too). I have tried to preserve the original text and sense as much as possible. Hope this is the case. Also tried to put "the Gap" in a better perspective.

From aftermarth: "An order to assume defensive operations and to withdraw towards Kokoda was eventually given to Horii on 8 September." I don't have ready access to the two references cited at at about this point but I do have access to Bullard (see p 159-166 specifically p 160) ( Battle of Buna–Gona Background section)
"In light of reverses at Guadalcanal, Lieutenant General Harukichi Hyakutake determined he could not support both battles and, on 23 September,[22] ordered Horii to withdraw his troops on the Kokoda Track until the issue at Guadalcanal was decided."
Might want to confirm dates and possibly reconcile differences since there is a long time between 8 and 23 and that Japanese were still advancing after 8SEP ie Ioribaiwa Ridge? Cinderella157 ( talk) 04:06, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
An order to assume defensive operations and to withdraw towards Kokoda was sent to Horii on 8 September. The situation on Guadalcanal worsened for the Japanese and further resources and manpower were diverted to that effort instead. [1] [2] [3] [Note 1]

@ user: AustralianRupert Hi, just my thoughts on this. I try to combine when there are more than two endnotes togeather given feedback I got when working on Buna-Gona but it is not worth the hassle for just two. Cheers Cinderella157 ( talk) 05:31, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
