I'll get to this shortly--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 12:54, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sturmvogel 66: Hey, this review page was opened 3 weeks ago, but I'm still waiting on a review. I understand you're reviewing a lot of articles right now, and that this one is quite long, I'd just like an update if you can give one. --Grnrchst (talk) 15:20, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Images properly licensed
• In the caption to the photo in the infobox, entrenched is the wrong term. Perhaps "defending" or something similar?
• Earwig reports 9.9% copyvio unlikely
• Decapitalize Restored
• opposition from either side both sides
• After prime minister Manuel Portela Valladares Capitalize prime minister
  • I should have been clearer. Generally capitalize jobs/titles/ranks only if the precede a name. Examples are at MOS:JOB and follow that guidance--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:34, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Got it, de-capitalised other cases. Thanks for pointing me to the relevant MOS guidelines. --Grnrchst (talk) 20:13, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Down to military preparations, more later--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:31, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Addressed all. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:08, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comma after the title Captain General of Catalonia Francisco
  • Done. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:28, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Link mortars, which are not cannons
  • Done. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:28, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Link military terms and ranks on first use, like artillery, battery, regiment, brigade, colonel, etc.
  • Done. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:28, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Convert metric measurements like 105 mm to English units on the first use
  • What do you mean by "English units"? --Grnrchst (talk) 09:18, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • Feet, inches, etc.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 09:20, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
      • Done. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:28, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

        Still need to convert 105 mm My mistake.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 10:23, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

        I already did! --Grnrchst (talk) 10:13, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm seeing a lot of red links in the military preparation section that don't have Spanish- or Catalan-language links. Are they really notable?
  • Removed. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:28, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Can you be any more specific about the types of aircraft?
  • I've already specified wherever possible. The only case it wasn't clear was what planes Sandino used to drop pamphlets over the barracks; the cited source doesn't specify what they were. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:33, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • Fair enough--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 09:39, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• large paper balls Shouldn't this be rolls of paper?
  • Corrected. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:28, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• machine gun-mounted car This doesn't make sense
  • Changed to say technical. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:30, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Spot checks to follow--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:34, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Spot checked cites 1-3, 18–20, 37, 62, 78, 104, 118, 138, 161, 179
• FYI, you needn't cite every single sentence. Consecutive cites to the same source with different page numbers can all be consolidated into a single cite, provided that they're all in the same paragraph. An example would be cites 1-8.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 10:10, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
