The date for their arrival is given as June 1940 - can that be right? George Weller is always maddening vague on dates and chronology, but pretty firmly states: "[they attacked Asosa] March 11, just six weeks after the Belgians left the Congo." Which would mean they "left the Congo" (whatever that might mean!) in late January/early February, 1941 and arrived in Abyssinia... two or three weeks later? In any case, June '40 seems much too early. Great article, in general Tomseattle ( talk) 01:27, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
Very good article. I have translated it into French for French Wikipedia. I have just one question. I noticed that, according to the article, the 350th Belgian squadron has been created more or less one year before the 349th. Is this correct? -- Lebob-BE 18:17, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
The Navy section here says Free Belgian Navy had two corvettes and a group of minesweepers; does anyone have any information about them? They aren't listed in the books I have access to; Conway just says that what ships the Belgian Navy had (gunboats, fishery protection vessels) were captured by the Germans in 1940.

Well-written:
(a) the prose is clear and concise, respects copyright laws, and the spelling and grammar are correct;
Significant:
Minor: (treat as comment only and pls ignore if you wish; they're not GA requirements!)
(b) it complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
Factually accurate and verifiable:
(a) it provides references to all sources of information in the section(s) dedicated to the attribution of these sources according to the guide to layout;
(b) it provides in-line citations from reliable sources for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines;
(c) it contains no original research.
Broad in its coverage:
(a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic;
(b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without bias, giving due weight to each.
Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
Illustrated, if possible, by images:
(a) images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content;
OK, it's changed. Brigade Piron ( talk) 09:53, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
(b) images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
