Why was this article broken out from Military Liaison Missions ? At the very least you should have linked the articles back. It has created wholly unnecessary duplication.

Disagree. The Military Liaison Missions should be rewritern as a more generic article. Liaison Missions have been around since at least World War 1.

Comment and suggestion. "Military Liaison Missions" is too generic a title for the content listed. Cold War Military Liaison Missions (European) is more accurate. Military Liaison is a bigger subject altogether with undoubted antecedents and successors to the four 'Allied Missions' referred to here. However, this will necessite further research before committing to this means. As a suggestion, maybe there should be an intermediate knowledge point on Wikipedia, between the existing "Military Liaison" (no need for the word 'Missions' perhaps?) and "BRIXMIS" (a neat self-contained, end-point knowledge subject), which should be "Cold War Military Liaison Missions" that reflects both the European and Allied confines of the four powers respective liaison (and spying) efforts. At this stage, duplication is inevitable largely because authoratative research and authentic primary sources remain scarce. As documentation is released and research increases then the material available will inevitably expand and dissolve out into a more natural taxonomy - patience and effort willing.
