[edit] Map Boxing

So, should the map be placed in the Battbox? (where it will be less intrusive to the main body of the article) Or is it more handy to keep it where is for reference? YOU make the call! --R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) 08:10, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

I put the map inside the battle box because of one reason; when it was below the battle box, it created this huge gap in the writing. So I moved it to the battle box to see if it would change the gap, & it did. The only thing is that when I fiddled with map, I still couldn't find a way to get rid of the box surrounding it...

No worries, I fixed the box in box appearance of the map R.D.H... Spawn Man 00:00, 1 October 2005 (UTC) P.S. I also created some of the red links on this page, Moronvilliers, Charles Mangin & Francois Anthoine.
Good calls again Spawn my man. I'm also glad that, unlike certain other editors, we bother to DISCUSS things first instead of doing large edits and leaving lectures on "style" in the notes. I know they mean well and are within their rights, but it is more polite to consult and discuss things first. Please, let us try to not only be good editors but good collaborators as well.

Unfortunatly, the Francois Anthoine article I made was deleted because they said it was too close to the firstworldwar.com article on him. I did use their article as a source (as it was the only internet source), & tried to rewrite it as best as I could... Obviously not well enough... Ahhhh well, win some, lose some...

Sounds like you went an "Article Too Far". Better keep such articles in your sandbox from now on until I can have a look at them and pound em into an unrecognizable pulp.

I won't... You're a good friend R.D.H. Besides, I bet everyone will or already has had a problem with copy right or regulations... Spawn Man 06:27, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 0.5 nom

This article was nominated for Wikipedia:Version 0.5 I failed this article because it has no references, also on the shorter side. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 06:19, 6 June 2006 (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)
