I will review this one, comments to follow in due course. Zawed (talk) 06:54, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

OK, having reviewed this, it looks in good shape. Three things:

• The infobox states its role as Fighter; attack. From the lead/body of the article, I wouldn't have thought that this was the primary role of the wing.
  • Well I used "fighter" as synonymous with "air defence" but I could use the latter and change "attack" (which I used to cover the role of the Beauforts and Vengeances) to "anti-shipping" to better reflect what's said in the body. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 13:51, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
• The lead refers to the wing forming at Townsville but the history section states it was formed at Garbutt (the base at Townsville); I think it would be worthwhile expanding the history section to mention Townsville to avoid confusion.
  • Will do. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 13:51, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
• Could we have an OOB as a separate section, like for the North-Eastern Area Command article?
  • I'm always a bit dubious about creating OOB sections that aren't essentially taken verbatim from one source stating "this was the formation's OOB at this time", and we don't have that in the 75WG sources, we just have several sources stating that such-and-such a unit was under 75WG, or 75WG controlled the units at this base and I then report the units at that base. Not an exact science I'm afraid...! Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 13:51, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

Hope that is useful, I'll check back in a few days. Cheers. Zawed (talk) 10:41, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, bit busy lately -- tks for review and will address as soon as I can. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 04:03, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Your changes/feedback look good Ian, passing as GA now. Zawed (talk) 09:13, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
