How come the detail of the battle is missing?

This article also seems rather loose with its use of "right" and "wrong". Why was it "wrong" to attack Peleliu? It is failing to explain why it is regarded as wrong in retrospect. --Brianyoumans 21:10, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Teach me! I am japanese. AT Battle of Peleliu Wikipedia japanese version,"in 1982 japanese rebuilt Shinto Shrine on Peleliu and in 1994 on that stage they set epitaph with epigram which was composed by Admiral Nimitz [[1]]" which was engraved followings

{Tourists from every country who visit this island should be told how courageous and patriotic were the Japanese soldiers who all died defending this island}

Admiral Nimitz composed that truly? I doubt it seem similar to Epitaph of Simonides Battle of Thermopylae.59.139.180.26 14:46, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POV

This article is rather POV and definitely needs to be expanded in light of the abundant source material available. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.231.247.123 (talk) 01:55, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article sentence order and structure

This article needs to be rewritten so that it flows. Halsey's recommendation goes in the middle somewhere, not in Aftermath. The sentence starting "To settle this dispute..." makes no sense because both commanders wanted to attack Peleliu. It's obviously addressing the Nimitz/MacArthur strategy difference, not Peleliu. And what was Nimitz going to Peleliu for, anyway?

Clearly, there's a need for a blow-by-blow account of the battle in between Background and Aftermath. I'm not the Peleliu expert, so I'll leave the task to someone else. Binksternet (talk) 21:42, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
