I´ve never read anything about that tree argentine commandos that are supposed to be the first POW´s of that war. It´s not mentioned in any book. Where does that information comes from?

This article should be moved to 1982 invasion of the Falkland Islands to disambiguate from the previous invasion in 1833. Ejrrjs | What? 14:05, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

As there was no objection to renaming the article for over 2 weeks, I will move the article from Invasion of the Falkland Islands to 1982 invasion of the Falkland Islands. -Mariano 11:52, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

What's an amtrac? I tried to wikify it but amtrac is currently a redirect to the American rail network, Amtrak. --kingboyk 23:07, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

It is a Amphibious Assault Vehicle - though the page it links to isn't the right model [1] shows them as LVTP-7's with .30 machine guns. Megapixie 01:53, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Improvements

This article would be immensely improved if it had a proper introduction and summary, perhaps one or two paragraphs. It should also have a battle box. The size and composition of forces and materiel are basic information that should be part of the standard introduction. One of the first questions I had was casualties, and that information wasn't easily found, so I took a comment from elsewhere on Wikipedia (Falklands War, I think), but that was reverted as unsourced. Well, somebody should find the correct information and put it in. If you don't like amateurs messing with your article, make it a decent article in the first place. --Dhartung | Talk 20:15, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
