A fact from Battle of Dumpu appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 25 February 2016 ( check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that in the Battle of Dumpu, Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Honner, although covered in blood and black ants, refused to be carried from the field for fear it might endanger the stretcher bearers? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2016/February. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Battle of Dumpu.

Nice article. The phrase "as a logistical" needs something more to be grammatical, within full sentence "An airstrip was developed at Dumpu, which would assume great importance as a logistical in the subsequent fighting in the Finisterres." I tried using revision history search to isolate the diff, but it seems I don't know how to use it. Hope this helps. -- do ncr am 02:46, 25 February 2016 (UTC) reply

I will take a look at this one. Zawed ( talk) 03:30, 13 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Lead

• Perhaps add a couple of sentences following "the 7th Division advanced from Kaiapit to Dumpu in the Ramu Valley." to describe the nature of the advance and opposition.

  Y Added. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:35, 24 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Background

• The link on Lae isn't on its first usage.

  Y Linked. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:35, 24 August 2022 (UTC) reply

• Between the Ramu Valley...: the link on Ramu Valley is actually to the river, which is mentioned earlier.

  Y Unlinked. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:35, 24 August 2022 (UTC) reply

• Some of the dates in the Military Situation section recite the year (1943) when that has already been established and it is clear from the context that it hasn't progressed to 1944.

  Y Removed. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:35, 24 August 2022 (UTC) reply

• ...belonging to 78th Infantry Regiment, along with one company of the 80th Infantry Regiment.: perhaps clarify that these regiments are part of the 20th Division. That introduces the division and places it in better context when it is mentioned in the next paragraph.

  Y Changed as suggested. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:35, 24 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Battle

• the heavily equipped diggers: just wondering whether diggers is a little colloquial here?

  Y I don't think so. Linked. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:35, 24 August 2022 (UTC) reply

• and ANGAU hired local labour: maybe provide a little context for what ANGAU is here?

  Y Added a footnote about ANGAU. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:35, 24 August 2022 (UTC) reply

• moved to Kaigulan II: what is moved to Kaigulan II? Sounds like a military base?

  Y Not really. Changed "II" to "2" and added an explanatory footnote. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:35, 24 August 2022 (UTC) reply

• Private W. H. G. remained to protect Honner: missing a surname for the private? It may not be important but the private isn't mentioned again and the reader gets the impression later that Honner had been abandoned.

  Y Private W. H. G. Bennett QX27023. Not sure how his name got deleted. Added a bit more. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:35, 24 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Other stuff

• Dupe links: Lae, Papuan Infantry Battalion

  Y Unlinked. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:35, 24 August 2022 (UTC) reply

• Image tags OK.

This looks to be in good order with only minor issues. Cheers, Zawed ( talk) 10:13, 24 August 2022 (UTC) reply

All points addressed. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:35, 24 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Hawkeye, this looks all good. I believe that the article meets the necessary criteria so am passing as GA. Cheers, Zawed ( talk) 09:29, 26 August 2022 (UTC) reply
