re Johnny jebsen,

re Johnny Jebsen sorry, that I have to insist: there never was a shipping company jebsen & jebsen in Hamburg, only Jebsen & Jessen, founded by Jacob Jebsen and Heinrich Jessen in 1909, today "Jebsen Group", best regards Gratzky — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gratzky (talk • contribs) 18:52, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Johnny Jebsen

Sorry, but I have to insist: There never was a shipping company Jessen & Jessen in Hamburg, only Jebsen & Jessen, founded by Jacob Jebsen from Apenrade (today Abenraa in Denmark) and Heinrich Jessen in 1909. Best regards Gratzky. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gratzky (talk • contribs) 18:55, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of List of Ops (B) staff

The article List of Ops (B) staff you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:List of Ops (B) staff for things which need to be addressed. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:16, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks mate; I'll take a good look today! --Errant ^(chat!) 08:49, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Legacy of Operation Hardboiled

Dear User:ErrantX. Nice work shepherding today's FA. With only a moderate overall knowledge of British Second World War intelligence I defer to one better informed to ask this: Were lessons learned by LCS (or the other intelligence apparati it interacted with during Hardboiled) concerning the multiplicity of information blockages (systemic or not) and poor approach (both in selection and execution) that could be briefly summarized in the article's Legacy section? LCS was unaware of so much, and was so green at its job, that it would seem that someone or entity with broad oversight over the totality of British intelligence would have looked at how Hardboiled went down and made some changes in information pathways, operation creation, task assignment, and so on.

I realize that elements of this are touched on there, but it seems like there were still lots of loose ends in the aftermath. Did they all stay loose, or were some tightened in a way that can be accurately condensed? Yours, Wikiuser100 (talk) 17:34, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
