GA Review

[edit]
This review is transcluded from Talk:Operation Mole Cricket 19/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Hi, this will be my first GA review ever. I saw it had been sitting here for well over a month so I figured I'd help you out.

Good article, I don't have too many issues with it, but here are the couple problems I see.

Thanks for reviewing, and for the positive approach :) --

  • I added a couple of fact tags where I thought there should be a citation. Cite 'em.
I just reverted you. All of those are cited in the following ref. If an entire paragraph is supported by one ref, must I repeat it at the end of each sentence? -- Nudve (talk) 14:24, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yekutiel Adam is mentioned but it is not mentioned who he is. Because he is a General you should say something along the lines of "Yekutiel Adam, an Israeli General......"

  • Sharon flew back to Jerusalem to attend a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, June 9. He said Syria had already begun moving its second armored division (the Third Division) south from Ein Zahalta, which meant that this was the time to act.-What makes this the time to act? Why does it matter?

  • ISraeli? I assume it should be Israeli.
 Done -- Nudve (talk) 14:24, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

After you make these improvements I will pass it.-Kieran4 (talk) 14:04, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again. Cheers, Nudve (talk) 14:24, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oh alright, I just thought it'd be better with the citation right after those sentences, where the events are listed. But that wasn't a big issue. I'll pass it to GA, all I have to do now it figure out how in the name of God I can get this onto the talk page. I'm having troubles with my first GA Review, as you can see.-Kieran4 (talk) 14:47, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No problem :) -- Nudve (talk) 15:05, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This page seems dominated by the Israeli point of view. How can a Wikipedia user find an unbiased article? If partisans can control the information provided here then Wikipedia is just a propaganda tool at the disposal of the most motivated users. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Outofthebox (talk • contribs) 02:57, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just a comment: I think Operation Mole Cricket 19 is often referred to as the "Battle of the Bekaa Valley". http://www.airpower.maxwell.af.mil/airchronicles/apj/apj89/win89/hurley.html 24.6.3.168 (talk) 10:30, 24 December 2010 (UTC) anonymous[reply]

The text beneath the last image said: "SAF Roundel for the F-4E that took part in the operation." Clearly it is a IAF roundel, as the F-4 was a plane used by the IAF not the SAF. I took the liberty of changing it. Reddox (talk) 08:32, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Strength and Causalities and Losses sections of the info-box doesn't cohere with the rest of the article. The Syrians are listed with 30 SAMs, and 30 destroyed, but in the article, it says 19 and 17 destroyed. They are also listed with 80 planes destroyed in the info box, whereas the article says 29. In the info box the IAF is listed with 90 aircrafts, but the article says they attacked in two waves, with more than 92 aircraft each. Reddox (talk) 08:32, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Syrian losses

[edit]

Did Syria lose 29, 82 or more than 90 aircraft? All three figures are given in the article.Royalcourtier (talk) 09:57, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Isreali aircraft weapons and execution of mole cricket 19.

[edit]

The Israeli aircraft used mainly Python 3 (F-15, Kfir and F-4), Sidewinder AIM-9L (F-16) and AIM-7F (F-15) in the airbattke.

The main weapon for the suppression where AGM-78, modified in Israel, for the destruction “Tadmit” where the main weapon, unguided cluster/iron bombs where also used. BoHermansen (talk) 12:52, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
