• I'm Deleting the "Plot Introduction" section because its full of original research and unsourced statements. It did contain a good quote by the author (also unsourced). If it's a real quote and anyone can find the source it should be put back in.--Gyrcompass 01:25, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

I suggest that the info about the miniseries is moved to a new article, and let this article be about the book. --Danielos2 23:17, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

I agree - are you able to do the work. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)} 14:16, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I agree too, though I'm fairly new to editing and am not excited about trying to do it. They need to be merged pretty badly though, the book and miniseries are two completely different things and would do much better as separate articles.--Gyrcompass 01:55, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:HermanWouk WarAndRemembrance.jpg

Image:HermanWouk WarAndRemembrance.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:52, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Browning —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Purpleslog (talk • contribs) 02:55, August 24, 2007 (UTC).

"As Herman Wouk was a U.S. Navy man, Captain Browning is given proper credit for his role in the decisive U.S. victory at Midway."

Browning is given bad marks in the novel and the movie by Adm. Spruance. Browning comes off as an ass who Warren, the CAG and a squadron commander appeal directly to Spruance to counter (Spruance does). Both show three dramatic suggested mistakes by browning that are countered or ignored by Spruance.
