[edit] Misc

Readers are going to be going to their local supermarket asking the sales clerks which aisle the "inter alia" is in. Couldn't we say it in English?

storing this here for now: "Within Australia (I am unsure about New Zealand) the ANZACs came to stood not just for the troops in World War I, but for Australian soliders in time of war more generally."

The above, minus the parenthetical comment, is already on the main page. Better a crime of omission than comission, IMHO. --KQ

I moved the following from Anzac and redirected that to Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. I don't think the biscuits are important enough to warrant turning Anzac into a disambiguation page, but someone might want to merge the content here if they think it's useful.

also:
Anzac - a type of biscuit (cookie) made to an original Scottish recipe from, inter alia, rolled oats, sugar, plain flour, coconut, butter, golden syrup or treacle but no eggs providing, when appropriately packed, good keeping qualities which enabled them to be sent as comforts to Australian and New Zealand troops in overseas theatres of war.

==Why only Australian Army== on the top right. Surely there should be a NZ flag etc as well! Hamedog 00:34, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

That's a template box pulled in by Australian Army with two curly brackets on each end. There's also a New Zealand Army lower down. They should be together, one after the other. When I tried to do that, however, they ended up side-by-side which looks crap. Can someone make them vertically under each other? Shermozle 09:48, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

There's already an well-established Anzac biscuits article, anyway. Can this article be moved back to Anzac where it started from? It doesn't have a great deal to do with the corps and so is out of place amongst the rest of the 1st AIF series. It seems it was cut and pasted first from "Anzac" to "ANZAC" and then to "Australian and New Zealand Army Corps" so somehow the edit histories need to be merged, at least between "Anzac" and this article.

[edit] Proposed merger with Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (army corps)

Why is there a separate article at Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (army corps)? Should the two be merged?--A Y Arktos 10:15, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree. There is a lot of redundant material duplicated between the two articles and the Army Corps (army corps) article has a confusingly redundant title. Either that, or the "Army Corps (army corps)" article should be renamed (see discussion on the Army Corps (army corps) talk page). Hu 02:12, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Can't there be more about New Zealand because they were in this organisation two, note the NZ in ANZAC.

--

It seems reasonable that these two articles should be merged. The existance of two similarly named articles is confusing. I am not familiar enought with the content to do the merge, but I am adding a "see also" to both pages, so that users can find both. Chimpex 16:19, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Nzarmy.gif

Image:Nzarmy.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ANZAC redirect

ANZAC is currently a disambiguation page listing Anzac biscuits and so forth. Every single thing on the page is named after the Australian and NZ Army Corps, so it seems a bit ridiculous for ANZAC to be a disambiguation page rather than a redirect to here. I propose making ANZAC (disambiguation) the disambiguation page, and ANZAC a redirect to here. --Helenalex (talk) 03:50, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
