Matanikau Offensive[edit]

Respectfully submit this article for A-class review. Cla68 (talk) 02:41, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd support an upgrade to A-class status, as it seems to match all the FA criteria. It is very well-written and thoroughly cited. As far as I am aware, not being particularly knowledgeable about the subject, it appears to be comprehensive and factually accurate. Perhaps most importantly, unlike many other Pacific War articles which I've assessed or reviewed, it seems pretty well balanced. The article is not written in a way which implies the Allies to be "good" or "right" and the Axis to be "evil", nor is it written in a way which implies that the outcome was inevitable. Not only that, but it does an excellent job I think of relating events from both points of view, not relating the narrative only from the point of view of one side and the obstacles and enemies they faced. Well done. LordAmeth (talk) 07:15, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Bukvoed (talk) 07:48, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support as per Lord Ameth really. Couple of wording issues though: "next expected Japanese offensive" and "until the ending stages " seem awkward to me. Perhaps anticipated offensive, and until the final stages? Up to you. Anyway, well done. Woody (talk) 16:26, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support. More than A-Class material! Congrats, --Eurocopter tigre (talk) 19:49, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
