Results/Aftermath

[edit]

Apologies, perhaps I should have been more clear. In MILHIST articles on battles/campaigns, 'Aftermath' is usually used - I certainly do in my own articles. It sounds better and I think it's a bit more encyclopedic. What do you think, Ironholds? Skinny87 (talk) 14:32, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Works for me; I've never edited milhist articles before (I'm strictly an English law/politics kinda guy, but I be a sucker for redlinks). Ironholds (talk) 14:34, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just changed it to reflect this discussion, and I'm looking for info on Le Havre post-capture right now. By some miracl;e I don't suppose you do copy-editing, do you? I'm depserately looking for a copy-editor. Skinny87 (talk) 15:30, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't do it as a habit, but I've done it in the past; what do you want me to look at? You spelt "desperately" wrong, by the way :P. Ironholds (talk) 15:32, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Argh! :) As you seem to have guessed, it's Tetrarch (tank), apparently it has prose issues that need sorting out. I've done some that were highlighted in the FAC but there might be others I can't see. A fresh pair of eyes would be brilliant and I'd be dead greatful. As to the actual article, all my sources seem to concentrate on Antwerp as it was the bigger port; only a few vague references to Le Have, both before and after its capture.

Hang on, I've found Monty's memoirs, it has a few bits on Le Havre, I'll add it in now. Skinny87 (talk) 15:47, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent :). I'll get working on the tetrarch article; stuff not immediately obvious (i.e spelling mistakes) and subjective stuff I'll stick on the talkpage for you to respond to with yea/nay's. Ironholds (talk) 16:16, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CE

[edit]

A cheeky little ce turned into something more and written references have been substituted for web sources. Altered rating to C class (typo?) Regards Keith-264 (talk) 15:33, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Added material but the article needs a thorough ce to separate items into chronological order.Keith-264 (talk) 09:07, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Had a go at reorganising the text to separate themes and chronology. Keith-264 (talk) 20:56, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

and a battalion from the recently constituted 36th Grenadier Regiment formed out of the survivors of the 36th Infantry Division, after its destruction at Bobruysk in Belarus in June 1944.[1]
