Will take this one. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 09:29, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Section 1;
    • A comma (,) after "England" in "in Longsight, Manchester, England to a shipping merchant,"
    • George Burgess, was a minister, and immigrated to New Zealand; please clarify the term minister, because sometimes it may taken as a government minister
      • The term minister was linked but have clarified anyway. Zawed (talk) 03:59, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Section 2;
    • Link South Canterbury Mounted Rifles
    • Link 16th (Waikato) Regiment
    • A comma (,) after "August 1914"
    • Some data on Geelong, type and country
    • A comma (,) after "During the Gallipoli Campaign"
    • Better mention that Légion d’honneur is the highest order by France
    • This French award is uncommonly awarded to New Zealanders; this sentence is unnecessary because the same is explained in following lines with the count. So it explains that it is uncommonly awarded.
    • he became director of military intelligence and training for three months before being promoted to colonel; how being the director and the training are linked, this is a bit confusing, please reword
      • Done, made clear that it was a single title. Zawed (talk) 03:59, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • What is the position of "Commandant of the New Zealand Military Forces" presently known as? Please mention that
      • I don't think it is really necessary as could be considered unnecessary detail but have done. Zawed (talk) 03:59, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Section 3; all good
  • Lead;
    • A comma (,) after "In Australia"
      • Grammatically, I don't think the comma is appropriate. Zawed (talk) 03:59, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • There is a dead link
  • All images are properly licensed.
  • Copyvio detector show 69.4% possible violation, I don't think it is Wikipedia mirror. Please check
    • Have looked into this, the overwhelming majority of the article's text dates to at least 2013 whereas that webpage appears to have only existed since 2014. It is based on the wikipedia article, not the other way round. Zawed (talk) 03:59, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
