British logistics in the Falklands War[edit]
- ... that British logistics in the Falklands War depended on ships that were STUFT? Source: [1]
5x expanded by Hawkeye7 (talk). Self-nominated at 06:56, 19 November 2017 (UTC).
Earwig is clear. No apparent copy vios or close paraphrasing. 5X Expansion verified. Easily long enough. Timely nominated. Hook is IMO interesting; the subject matter has drama, but the technical side of this effort is detailed and daunting. Told the story well. Hook is supported by in line/on line citation. Every paragraph is cited. QPQ confirmed. Cited source is on line and confirms the hook. I suppose one could criticize the hook, as it depends on a bad pun and an obscure acronym.
- I did not have access to the myriad books in the article that are not on line, and in that sense I AGF
- QPQ confirmed.
- Parenthetically, I did add many categories (to this and several other articles in the subject area), as I discovered that the Wikipedia articles on the Falklands War were willy-nilly and idiosyncratically categorized. Thus, many seminal and related articles were like two unlit ships passing on a moonless night. There seems to be a British/Argentine divide in the articles and their linkage, and that border dispute should not be carried over into our encyclopædia.
- As written, this article is a great addition to Wikipedia's library on the Malvinas War. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 00:44, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
