Nominator(s): Dumelow (talk) 09:56, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

I have been working on this article on and off for the past two and a bit years. I feel it is now as complete as I can make it and a potential FA. It recently passed a MilHist A-class review and was peer-reviewed prior to that. It has been almost four years since my last FAC so I might be a little rusty on the guidelines! I tend to be quite busy during the week but will catch up on any comments here at the weekends. Many thanks, I hope you enjoy reading the article - Dumelow (talk) 09:56, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Support on prose per standard disclaimer, after some tweaks. I've looked at the changes made since I reviewed this for A-class. These are my edits. - Dank (push to talk) 03:07, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Sources and images - spotchecks not done

• File:General_Lyautey-Pirou-img_3150.jpg: page number? Any idea of date photo was taken?

I didn't upload so I don't know what page number it came from. I have taken a look at the photo and dated it to 1908-9 as Lyautey is wearing the insignia of a grand officier of the Legion of Honour (which he was awarded in 1908) and the photographer died in 1909 - Dumelow (talk) 09:01, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

• File:030Arab.jpg: source link appears dead. When/where was this first published?

I was not the uploader so cannot be sure. I have been troubled by this image for some time, not knowing the date or place of publication/creation and the multiple licenses makes it hard to defend as definitely PD. As it is only tangential to the article I have removed it - Dumelow (talk) 09:14, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

• FN86: page?

Not sure, the Google Books preview does not provide page numbers and I do not own a physical copy of this book - Dumelow (talk) 08:28, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

• Per WP:SCHOLARSHIP, what makes Lázaro a high-quality reliable source? Nikkimaria (talk) 13:41, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

See his bio here. He is a doctor of history and an associate professor at Santa Clara University with peer reviewed publications and a couple of history books to his name - Dumelow (talk) 08:28, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
