[edit] 11th Airborne Division

I think 11th Airborne Division is at a stage where I can put it through for GA Review. I've just got a few things to tweak - getting someone to do the references and adding in the Medal of Honor citations, but they're relatively minor. I'd be really greatful if you could pass an eye over it, pre-GA as it were, and see what needs fixing. Cheers! Skinny87 (talk) 21:26, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Cam, it's kind of you. Fixed the two citations without a page number, which I never even realized were missing. Thats the problem, with me, after I've written such a long article like this, it all starts to blur tiogether and I miss things. Same with Operation Varsity when I finished it pre-GA.

Oh, hey, I didn't realize that. Pleae, concentrate on the FAC, thats far more important. I can do some more copy-editing in the next few days and get soeone else to peer review. Skinny87 (talk) 22:54, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Casualties in the The Moro River Campaign / Battle of Ortona

Hi. You may have noticed in the Battle of Ortona talk page that there has been some confusion regarding Canadian casualties in this campaign. As it stands, the figures in the infoboxes of the two articles are now incompatible. Have you any thoughts on how this might be resolved? Footnote #2 in the Battle of Ortona probably best explains the current position. Good work, by the way, on these articles - although it would seem your sources are a little Canadian-centric. I have been trying to include some of the other Allied actions that were part of this overall operation to give broader context to the Canadian attacks and hope to continue to do this (as and when you complete each section).

[edit] BoVR

By the way, WP:MOS#Ampersand, prohibits & in any use except corporate names. Military history is only capitalised as part of a title. Don't overwork it :) --ROGER DAVIES talk 02:28, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

I think it's almost there. Keep your fingers crossed :) --ROGER DAVIES talk 02:44, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Incidentally, KL is wrong on some MOS stuff. I've added notes. I'll review your changes later for MOS compliance.
You don't have to change something if you disagree with it. Just say why you disagree.
KL asked what is the factory area not where. I guess it's an industrial area, no?

Incidentally the dash in "his own breakout—Operation Cobra" is grammatically correct. It's a disjunctive dash, used for emphasis.--ROGER DAVIES talk 04:07, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Don't let it become stressful. You've dealt with the bulk of the stuff. It's going okay. --ROGER DAVIES talk 04:43, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Same from me, I think you're coping with your baptism of fire really well. I'll sort that image out, and if you like I'll turn the 'surrounding area' scan into a map too. It's only a couple of hours work, if that. EyeSerenetalk 11:11, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Addendum: don't worry about the Op Tractable GA hold - we can get back to that when the FA assessment's finished. I'll just leave it in limbo for now (I won't be able to copyedit for a few days anyway) ;) EyeSerenetalk 11:14, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

(od) Just an observation but at this stage of the game it doesn't help to have lots of different copyeditors tweaking the copy. What it needs is one or two methodically working through a stable-ish article. Too many cooks ... :) Anyhow, I'm re-starting now and hope to get it done this evening (UTC). --ROGER DAVIES talk 17:27, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for all the help Cam. Don't worry about the article, it'll get there! Skinny87 (talk) 21:52, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Yup, I noticed Roger and I had the same thought at the same time... and Sandy's also been busy. Apologies for any confusion caused. Pics hopefully sorted now BTW ;) EyeSerenetalk 23:08, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

(od) I've found a good source for German casualty figures for the Normandy campaign overall. This includes the two divisions at Verrieres but doesn't show their specific losses there. This is probably as good as it'll get. I'll add it later. --ROGER DAVIES talk 05:17, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

What I've got is before-D-Day and after-Breakout figures for the 1st and 12th SS Panzer divisions. Basically, they were reduced from 20,000 men each to a few hundred. Not guestimates, either :) --ROGER DAVIES talk 05:49, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
