No this article is not original research. The article has 42 cited sources today. If you think the article is in need of further clean-up, please consider adding the appropriate clean-up template tags and messages to the article. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 01:59, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bulleted citations removed

This article had a lot of bare URLs in the "References" section. I've converted most of them to inline footnotes/proper citations, but the following I have not, which I'm including here as they may prove useful for article expansion by other editors:

Timeline of events section

Per Bold, Discuss, Revert, I have re-added the whole section of this article that an IP user deleted, in good faith, as it contained useful information, and I'm disputing that removal as, crucially, the added sources helped to establish XfD closer Britishfinance noted in their closing rationale of the deletion discussion for Independent Soldiers (which Bf noted as a WP:HEY to me). I appreciate all of the edits done by the IP editor, and other editors, since the AfD close. The revised article is still better organized, but I think the individual events are all helpful. You can, of course, feel free to further refactor my == Timeline of events == section, if you wish. Thanks also to Dimitris N.anagnostou for re-adding the deleted infobox. --Doug Mehus T·C 19:14, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Errors

Article is poorly written, lots of errors needs proof reading. 2001:56A:7309:6A00:F539:5C7D:92CF:F8CC (talk) 08:29, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please consider using clean-up messages to identify where the article is poorly written, contains errors or needs proof reading. Or be bold and consider copyediting the article yourself! Unfortunately, not being specific about problems means it is difficult to address the issues you raise. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 02:16, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Are you on the slow side? People who submit these articles need to take responsibility and do some proof reading or not bother submitting such poorly written content. 2604:3D09:497B:D360:CCA4:9E:2536:FE1A (talk) 08:26, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WOW

Please never write another article on Wikipedia, this is embarrassing to say the least. 2605:B100:745:DFC:0:12:327B:9B01 (talk) 10:45, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
