Picking this one up. Review to follow. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 00:46, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

• Article looks pretty good.
• Any idea when he married or who his wife was?

• I didn't at the time of nominating the article for GA, but another editor has since added this info. Zawed (talk) 09:43, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

• His autobiography, 'Down to Earth', was published in 2023 by his daughter. Normally we put titles of works in italics not single quotes (Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Titles of works) It does seem a little odd that you made no use of it.

• Title now in italics; unfortunately I don't have access to the book to use it here. Zawed (talk) 09:43, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

• Should Remuka be linked in the lead?

• Linked. Zawed (talk) 09:43, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

• Should the article be in Category:Graduates of the Royal College of Defence Studies?

• Added cat. Zawed (talk) 09:43, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

• Images:

  File:Malcolm Calder, 1943 (cropped).jpg: Purists would ask for a PD-URAA tag

  Turns out there is an issue here; I don't think it qualifies for PD-URAA tag, as it wasn't PD in 1996. I have replaced it with another image cropped from one that has been released into the PD. Zawed (talk) 09:43, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

  File:RNZAF English Electric Canberra B(I)12 at East Sale.jpg - okay

• Sources:

  Look fine to me.

  Consider removing the space between fn 2 and 5

  Done. Zawed (talk) 09:43, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

  Is the newspaper called Press or The Press?

  It is the Press, added and linked. Zawed (talk) 09:43, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

  Spot checks:

  2, 3, 5, 7 - okay

All this is just to prove that I did read it and review it. I will place on hold, but don't see any show-stopper issues. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 05:03, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

@Hawkeye7: thanks for the review, much appreciated. I have dealt with your feedback as noted above. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 09:43, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
