[edit] Citations & Viller-Bocage
If citations are needed for operations covering the Anglo-Canadians during normandy, i have the official history by Ellis so give me a shout and ill see what he has to say on the matter for you.
One of the battles which falls under this project - Villers-bocage, has been the source of allot of edits as well as disputes. So although it is currently rated as a B, there is allot of work to do on it. Allot of detail has to be pruned, details worked on, structure etc
[edit] Immediate Objectives
Ok. In order to coordinate our efforts better, we should probably prioritize a few articles over the other ones. Here's a few thoughts.
- Enigma, you & I need to get citations into Operation Goodwood. although it's a massive article, it has almost no citations. if we can get those in there, it should be B-Class.
- Skinny87, your specialty lies in the airborne operations. Would it be possible for you to get references for Operation Tonga, since it seems to be suffering a fate similar to Goodwood.

- I stated i have Ellis' official history covering Normandy, i also have Wilmots book and atm i also have a copy of Carlo's too (libary loan). All of which should be enough information to cover the general aspects of the operation as well provide casualty information - ill fact tag everything else. I will also play around with the info box and reorganise the bottom of the article. Depending what mood i am by the time i get home i may do this tonight if there is nothing else to do.--EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 13:16, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- Edit to add: bloody hell i just realised what a big task this is going to be haha! i had a few spare hours and nothing to do and ive only managed to find citations (as well as update information in the info box) for Goodwood.--EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 20:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, we're gonna end up re-writing several of these articles entirely. <smashes head on desk>. Cheers! Cam (Chat) 22:33, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- I'm half-way through 11th Airborne Division, but I'll see what I can do. Might take a little while before I can get around to it though. It is second on my priorities after the 11th Airborne, however.Skinny87 (talk) 16:57, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- Oh yeah, as for resources, I've got D'Este's, Bercuson's, Van-Der-Vat's, & I have had access to Copp's in the past (Field of Fire; the Canadians in Normandy). Cheers! Cam (Chat) 03:18, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Any of your sources give a figure for teh German losses during Goodwood? Mine all seem to agree on tanks lost and give a number for captured, but actual killed or wounded just doesnt seem to be here.--EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 06:32, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Hmmm. I couldn't find one off the top of my head, but I shall keep looking. I'm gonna start working on Operation Luttich after I've brought The Moro River Campaign up to B or GA-Class. Cheers! Cam (Chat) 01:51, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
