Military event infobox

Amend infobox per template guidance. If you are tempted to revert it would be helpful if you were to read the note on the talk page and discuss things there first. Thanks.

== Infobox "Result" ==

Please note that [[Template:Infobox military conflict#Parameters]] states against "result" that "this parameter may use one of two standard terms: "X victory" or "Inconclusive"." The infobox has been amended to reflect this. Please read the template "result" guidance in full before amending or reverting. It would probably be best to discuss any proposed change here first to seek consensus. Thanks. ~~~~

WP:FAOWN

Tidy up, changes and reverts to good faith edits around the recent TFA appearance per [[WP:FAOWN]]. If you think that an improvement to the article has been reverted, feel free to discuss it on the talk page.

Minor changes or reverts to recent good faith edits. Reminder: [[WP:FAOWN]] suggests that proposed changes to FAs should be discussed on the talk page first; [[WP:BRD]] states that reverted edits should be discussed on the talk page rather than be re-reverted. Thanks.

Reverted per [[WP:FAOWN]]. But feel free to discuss potential improvements on the talk page

For my TFAs I usually unwatch a couple of days before and come back to them four days after they were on the main page. I then do one big tidy up and reversion of any unhelpful edits, leaving an appropriate edit summary and referencing WP:FAOWN. An example is here.

Commas

A comma inserted before "and" is known as a serial or Oxford comma. It is, under the MoS a permissible practice, but not a required one. The MoS states "Editors may use either convention so long as each article is internally consistent".

I am aware of the, to my mind strange, convention of inserting a comma after any initial mention of time. It is not one I use. So proponents of it would write, and, I assume, say "Today, I ate breakfast"; I would write and say "Today I ate breakfast". Either is acceptable. (Much as I itch to remove examples of the former when copy editing.)

You are, I gather, a "commaist"; I am, you will have gathered, not. During a FAC discussion of one of my nominations earlier this year an experienced reviewer who is also a commaist gently mocked themself by quoting the grammar writer Lynn Truss.

South western

I use south west, unhyphenated, except when a hyphen is required because south-west is used as a compound modifier.

South Western Railway; South Western School District; South Western Highway; South Western Railway zone. These are each from a different continent - to establish common usage, including one from the US. Or South West Trains or South West Norfolk (UK Parliament constituency) or South West England (European Parliament constituency).

Source review - pass

The sources used all appear to me to be reliable. I am unable to find any other sources which would materially add to the content of the article. The sources referred to seem to support the text cited, insofar as I have checked them. I found no unattributed close paraphrasing. I consider the sources to be current, as these things go. A reasonable mix of perspectives are represented. Everything that I would expect to be cited, is.
