The article needs some clean up, section wise, and making sure it has a Neutral Point of View. -- AllyUnion (talk) 00:34, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Colloquial

The language here is much too colloquial, needs to be rewritten in a more neutral, professional manner. MKV 20:16, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Please give me an example of colloquial language in this article. Polycarp

"He was put on the shelf."

I think the writer makes the misstep (easy in this case) of liking the subject too much and straying from NPOV. Cranston Lamont 21:01, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Portrait

I think this article needs a portrait of the person discussed. I would upload and edit it myself if I only knew how.

[edit] What did he command?

"De Wiart was in the thick of the fighting on the Western Front, commanding successively a brigade and three infantry battalions." But a bridage IS three infantry battalions. Should it be the other way round? ie. He was battalion commander of three different battalions and then was promoted to CO of a brigade? --Affentitten 06:15, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
