# Talk:Herbert Burden

Good to see you again Hawkeye7; look, I think I've missed something, but is this now GA then? ——SerialNumber54129 12:15, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
Yes, it is.  Hawkeye7 (discuss) 18:38, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
@Hawkeye7: Thanks very much, great work. I asked, because: I received no bot notifications at all—either that you had started or finshed the review! Bizarre. Thanks again—hope all is well with you. ——SerialNumber54129 18:46, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
I should have waited for the bot to note the article was under review first, then completed the review, but accidentally failed to save the review until the end, thereby confusing the bot. My bad.  Hawkeye7 (discuss) 18:56, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
@Hawkeye7: No problem whatsoever. It's a shame it's something so mundane as confusing a bot—I thought it was your cloak of invisibility  ;)  take care! ——SerialNumber54129 19:02, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

@Serial Number 54129: The photo used in this article for Burden (File:Pte Herbert Burden, 2nd Northumberland Fusiliers.png) is also used in other sources as a photo for William Barry Nelson (1894-1916).

I have corrected quite a few factual errors in this article, but it probably still needs a good re-write. For example, Burden was listed as serving with the fictional South Northumberland Fusiliers, who apparently went to France in March 1915. In fact he served with 1/Northumberland Fusiliers, a battalion of the original BEF of August 1914. He didn't 'win' a medal, he was eligible for the 1914-15 Star, he did not fight for '10 months' in the frontline. Leaving aside the fact that infantry units were not continuously in the front line, he was only in France for 3 months, some of which he was sick. Other errors and duplication cleared up.
