B class review
editB class. I made the following corrections. If you think I made a mistake, please correct my edit. Djmaschek (talk) 03:56, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
- History: Paragraph 1: Typo: infanteer > infantry.
- Introduction: "Despite the name, RAF Bowes Moor was to the north of the village of Bowes in what is now County Durham, England, (Bowes Moor is to the north and south west of the village)." I was confused when I read this sentence. I removed, "Despite the name", because 'despite' implies there is something odd about the name, but it seems to be named for a nearby moor or village which I don't think is odd. Also, the description, "Bowes Moor is to the north and south west" was difficult for me to understand, so I changed it a little.
- I added 2 subheadings.
