[edit] Sources?
Nice article! Would it be possible to top it off by adding a reference or external link or two? Not that I doubt the veracity of any of this, but it'll make it even more useful to future editors. --Dvyost 00:15, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- I'm glad you like my article. Although this is only a nephew article, (or niece or twice cousin removed...), with the main article being the Second Battle of the Aisne. So I got alot of my info from the same books & sites that I got the Aisne info from. I didn't save the sites I went on, but I think one was worldwarone.com? I can't remember the other ones... Hope that helps a bit... Spawn Man 03:46, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

- It does help. Maybe you want to copy the list of references you used from there to here? Again, nice work! --Dvyost 05:29, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks..again... however, I don't think they want under references websites... On most articles they only put books under references, with web sites being under the "external link" heading... Spawn Man 06:26, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] 1.2 Million Troops, 7000 Guns?
Does this mean 1,193,000 of the troops were unarmed? Or does "7000 guns" mean "7000 artillery pieces?" Please clarify. --Simoes 03:34, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Sure. People who frequent military subject articles etc, will know that the term "guns" means artillery guns. The shortened term is used more often in place of the elongated form. Don't ask me why, but it just is, even though it does actually sound that only 7,000 were armed... Spawn Man 03:40, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
Most do know, but what the heck, I don't care. If you want it that way, that's fine by me...: ) Spawn Man 05:18, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Hey, as the offensive was winding down The French 2nd division DID show up without guns! and drunk on the vino. This marked the start of the mutiny which helped put an end to this bloody tragedy of errors. So while you meant to be facetious, Simoes, there is some truth to your remarks. Now repeat after me-This is my rifle, this is my gun! This is for fightin', this is for fun! :)--R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) 08:03, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Mergence!
I Strongly oppose this article being merged with the 2nd battle of the aisne! Gosh! The battle was only a battle, where as the nivelle offensive was the whole campaign movement. They deserve two different articles at least! If it was an article such as "The part of the aisne where it got shelled", then that should be merged into the aisne article, not the entire campaign which over saw tens of battles!!!!!!! Gosh, get a grip everybody, the articles stays I say. Spawn Man 23:35, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
