[edit] Coventry bombing

I've also posted the following in "Errors in Selected anniversaries/On this day", my apologies if such multiple posting goes against wikipedia etiquette

"1940 - Coventry Cathedral and much of the city centre of Coventry, England was destroyed in heavy Luftwaffe bombing"

Not so much an error, but "luftwaffe bombing", currently linking to Battle of Britain, should perhaps link to The Blitz (or even Coventry Blitz). The former is the battle for air superiority over Britain, the latter the partly concurrent bombing of civilian and infrastructure targets of which the bombing of coventry was a part. The Battle of Britain is generally considered to have finished by October, though the Blitz was only just beginning. --Mongreilf 10:40, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion. The line is now re-written to feature Coventry Blitz. --PFHLai 13:17, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Confusing Colombia with Columbia

It's "Colombia" and "Colombian", not "Columbia" and "Columbian"! Please fix both mistakes. Chanheigeorge 00:10, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
