- Comment: I can't find any sources here that mention "7th Marine Brigade" perhaps the article's title needs to be changed to "Jiaolong Commandos' per common name? Theroadislong (talk) 16:48, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: YouTube is not generally considered to be a reliable source. Theroadislong (talk) 09:49, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I find it strange that an article about a military unit nowhere in the text mentions what country it belongs to. ColinFine (talk) 11:48, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: You state that they are used for Air assault but the citation for that does not support this claim -- it shows a parachute insertion. "Air assault" refers to helicopter operations, not paratrooper insertions.⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 00:17, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: The claim of an 88.8% washout rate comes from an unsubstantiated quote from a primary source, as republished in a blog. This cannot be used in wikivoice, and must have attribution; regardless, it should be removed entirely as it fails point 1 of WP:ABOUTSELF: it is an exceptional claim and unduly self-serving. ⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 00:17, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
