Deolali transit camp

5x expanded by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 10:46, 20 January 2019 (UTC).

  • Reviewing, long enough, interesting, still a stub. Will complete soon. Whispyhistory (talk) 11:15, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg Good work, how do you find these? QPQ done, expanded >5x, both hooks ok, in article and sourced. camp fever redirects to typhus, but it in this case, it should be malaria- see reference 3. I would have changed it, but didn't want to end up rewriting a whole sentence. Please check over. Whispyhistory (talk) 14:15, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for the review Whispyhistory. I should have checked the target (I expected it to go to a page describing the term more generally). I've liked it to Malaria#War which has a brief mention of the term - Dumelow (talk) 14:48, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
