G'day, I am currently doing a bit of work to expand this article and hope to take it back up to B class over the next month or so. One thing I would like to discuss is the current structure of child/parent articles. The parent article is this one, which is fine, but currently the campaign box lists the following child articles: Battle of Kaiapit; Battle of Dumpu; Battle of John's Knoll–Trevor's Ridge; Battle of The Pimple; Battle of Cam's Saddle; Battle of Faria Ridge; Battle of Prothero I & II; Battle of McCaughey's Knoll; Battle of Kankiryo Saddle and Battle of Crater Hill.
There are a couple of issues that I see with this structure. Firstly, I believe that it is missing an article for the events after Crater Hill, i.e. the pursuit towards Madang. Secondly, I believe that it conflates several minor actions and turns them into battles. For instance, The Pimple, Cam's Saddle, Faria Ridge, Protheroe, McCaughey's Knoll, Kankiryo, and Crater Hill, are arguably one single battle together. Coulthard-Clark in his Encyclopaedia of Australia's Battles calls this battle "Shaggy Ridge". (Additionally, I think it would be virtually impossible to write a proper B class article on The Pimple, Cam's Saddle, Faria Ridge, etc. by themselves).
As such, I propose combining these minor actions into a single article called the "Battle of Shaggy Ridge". The slight issue with this is that that article currently exists as a redirect to this article (i.e. "Finisterre Range campaign"). However, it wouldn't be hard to remove the redirect, and create the article. The minor links in the campaign box could then be created as redirects to the "Battle of Shaggy Ridge" article.
The structure of the campaign parent/child articles would then look something like this:

G'day, I've done a bit of work to expand this now, but I still have plans to take it a bit further. I have a few more ideas:
