Navbox[edit]

Given the quality and content, could (should?) this, and the article on British logistics, be added to the Normandy campaignbox, or a navbox? GraemeLeggett (talk) 13:14, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They are already in Template:Campaignbox Normandy. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:52, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see it now. I realise that i didnt spot it because it didn't show up as bold in the navbox. ('Should have gone to Barnard Castle').GraemeLeggett (talk) 20:24, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Someone went around lowercasing "campaign" in the article titles in April and did not change the infobox. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:32, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Central Base Section"[edit]

Why is there the (incomplete) sentence "Central Base Section" (without any meaning inserted here) at the end of the paragraph "Background"? JackkBrown (talk) 23:09, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ask User:Jnestorius, who added it in December 2021 and is still active. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:53, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 05:58, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Rubble from rearranging a draft of my edit. I ought to have removed but overlooked it. jnestorius^(talk) 08:32, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
