Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on November 1, 2014.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that Operation All Clear was the first operation conducted by the Royal Bhutan Army?

A couple of suggestions[edit]

G'day, good work on improving this article. I don't have time at the moment to do a GA review on this, unfortunately, as I am in the process of moving but I have a couple of suggestions that might help you:

  • the lead is currently very short, but for a GA it should probably be expanded a bit. I'd suggest at least two paragraphs that fully summarise the article;
  • the writing style is very repetitious, with many sentences and paragraphs starting in a similar way. For a GA, I would like to see more variation in language so that there is a distinct narrative flow. There are also many single sentence or very short paragraphs that probably should be merged
  • the infobox mentions strengths and casualty figures, I'd suggest working these also into the body of the article where possible
  • "Facing continuous pressure, Assamese militants relocated their camps in Bhutan" --> should this read: "Facing continuous pressure, Assamese militants relocated their camps to Bhutan"?
  • the link between the first and second paragraphs on the background section should be highlighted a bit more clearly, as it doesn't seem clear to the casual reader who the ULFA and NDFB were.
  • "KLO had also been allegedly involved" --> probably best here to attribute the allegation in text. For instance, "According to X, the KLO had also..."
  • in the footnotes, per WP:ALLCAPS you should avoid using all capital letters;
  • "In a follow-up action to the operation, 22 Bhutanese civilians were found guilty of aiding the separatists ..." when was this?
  • "...facing trial on similar charges as of July 2004" --> what has happened since 2004? Were they convicted?
  • the Operation section currently doesn't give a very clear picture of what actually happened on the ground. For instance, "The army seized ULFA’s central command headquarters located at Phukatong in Samdrup Jongkhar" --> how did they do this, what tactics did they use, how many personnel took part in the attack, etc.
  • the list in the Aftermath probably should have a suitable introductory stem sentence added. For instance, "Over the period, several incidents took place including:..."
  • I suggest checking that all the sources satisfy the requirements of WP:RS. I haven't checked them myself, but the appearance of Wikileaks concerned me (I don't know if it is considered a reliable source, but I would never use it personally). Perhaps you could confirm them at the WP:Reliable source noticeboard?
  • I'd probably swap the two images around, moving the map to the body, and the photograph to the infobox. If there was a photo of the soldiers undertaking the operation, or something similar, that would also be a good inclusion (although it is likely going to be very hard to find);

Anyway, good luck taking the article further. Thanks for your hard work so far. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 01:27, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Will start review now.--Dom497 (talk) 23:21, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Lead is way to short. Expand it so that it covers the basics of the entire article.
  • The entire "Background" section needs to be re-written. The section reads as a "list". Re-write the section using full paragraphs.
  • Personally I'm not a fan of sections being only a list (aka, the "Operations" section). I would suggest merging the list into paragraphs, just like what I said for the "Background" section.
  • AustralianRupert left a really good batch of comments on the article talk page and I agree with all of his points. Take a look at his comments and address them please (his last point regarding the images isn't a concern of mine though).

@Catlemur: I'm going to stop reviewing right now. Given that most of the article needs to be re-written, I probably should fail it but I'll give you 7 days to address both my comments and the comments by AustralianRupert before continuing the review further.--Dom497 (talk) 21:28, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for your hard work.The timing of this review is quite unfortunate, I am really busy with chores, study issues e.t.c., so I will be only be doing no brainer edits in the coming months.--Catlemur (talk) 14:42, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Catlemur: I'll leave the review open until Tuesday just in case you magically find the time. :) --Dom497 (talk) 22:34, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Somehow forgot about this....closing now.--Dom497 (talk) 01:03, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
