Moved to mainspace by Hog Farm (talk). Self-nominated at 02:38, 26 May 2020 (UTC).[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: A good regimental article which covers the origins, organisation, main battle honours and significant operations during the ACW well. New enough, long enough and well sourced. The hooks are cited and are taken in good faith. Certainly the details check out against Sifakis who gives a brief synopsis. I think this is good to go; I would marginally prefer ALT1 to the main hook, but either is fine. Bermicourt (talk) 10:49, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hog Farm: We're close to July 1; would you like ALT1 to run on that day? Yoninah (talk) 22:59, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Yoninah: That would be fine with me, if it's not too much of a hassle. Hog Farm (talk) 23:10, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Report

[edit]

This is very good and easily passes all the checks above. I would think there is room for expansion to increase the breadth of coverage but it has already achieved an acceptable width and, most important, is both within scope and in summary style. It's a very interesting piece of history. I'm promoting it to GA. Well done. No Great Shaker (talk) 10:19, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
