message: The template =>  Command structure of the 2nd Division (New Zealand   seems to be messed up, I can't find the source to fix it.  Could someone more knowledgeable have a go please? Ta GrahamBould (talk) 09:03, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Template

message: The text contains a statement "As no armoured support was available to the Division after their night attack against the Germans at Ruweisat Ridge, a full brigade (3,000 men) was lost during the fighting that resulted when German Panzers counter-attacked the New Zealand infantry the following morning."  Some comments:
* I added some more information regarding the role of the 9th Armd Bde.
* I'm fairly certain this action was at Miteiriya and not Ruweisat Ridge, if we are referring to the same action!  The Miteiriya action was where the 9th Armd Bde "failed" to provide support and were themselves virtually destroyed, which was on 1 and 2 Nov 42 (Ref: Carver, M.  El Alamein. Pg 147-150);
* Although the New Zealanders suffered heavy losses in this action, are we certain that an entire infantry (implied) brigade was destroyed?  A reliable citation for that would be most valuable.  Farawayman (talk) 21:58, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: El Alamein

message: I have done some minor Manual of Style work on the article and feel that it could be brought up to a B or maybe even a GA class article if the following points were addressed. (I don't have any sources, so I can't really do much with it, sorry). 
* Referencing: needs at least one citation per paragraph for a B class assessment;
* Coverage: could probably be improved by moving the discussion about the Division's formation out of the lead and putting it into its own section and expanding, plus adding more context to some of the sections (Defence of Greece and Battle of Crete are possibly a bit small)
* Style: 
** There is some inconsistency in terms, e.g. World War II is used as is Second World War (it probably doesn't matter which is used, so long as it is used throughout);
** There is some inconsistency in unit designations, e.g. 28 or 28th Battalion, also Fifth Army or 5th Army;
** Some of the headings do not conform with the MOS in terms of capitalisation and use of the word 'The'
** The books in the References section need ISBNs if possible;
* Grammar: In the El Alamein, the last sentence needs tweaking, repeated 'howevers' and word 'sacrifice' might need to be changed;
* Supporting materials: Are there any images that could be added to the text, (although the use of infoboxes does satisfy the supporting material requirement);
Just some ideas. Hope this helps. Cheers. — AustralianRupert (talk) 00:11, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Some possible improvements

message: Stumbled across a couple of news articles on the subject. They do not appear to specify a date, but they are announcing (in January 1946) that the division is no more: EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 04:12, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
