Copy edit query

[edit]

@Krishna Chaitanya Velaga: Hi. I have started work as I know that this is already in the GAN queue.

  • Is there anything at all you could insert about his military career between 1949 and 1962?
  • "The army's concern was that the Chinese had a geographical advantage." It would be helpful to be able to know, briefly, just what that advantage was. (Height, better supply lines, forward bases, something else?) Gog the Mild (talk) 13:40, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • At one point you say the the base was on the side of a lake; later the Chinese attack from the river side. It should be either a lake or a river.
A couple of things which aren't copy edit issues but which may come up at GA review:
  • The article is not very NPoV, eg "Chinese encroachment into Indian territory" rather than "Chinese incursions into disputed territory held by India" etc.
  • A couple of photos would be good, even if they were very generic; or a map showing where the action took place.
All of that said, it is a very nice article, you have done a good job, and it was a pleasure working on it. Gog the Mild (talk) 19:55, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Gog the Mild: I have clarified your queries for c/e. Thanks for the help. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 09:55, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. I enjoyed working on this. Good luck with the GAN. Gog the Mild (talk) 10:23, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
