Battle of Verrières Ridge[edit]

This is perhaps one of the most overlooked battles in Canadian Military History (many of the major D-Day historians put little to no emphasis on the conflict). This article has been in the making for nearly 14 months. It passed its GAN on April 28, 2008 (3ish weeks ago). I feel that it is now at (or extremely close to) A-Class quality. Cheers!

Comment(s)
- Is there any way the image in the section "Background" could be moved or integrated with the template? To me it looks out of place (note that I will not block a promotion on these grounds, it is merely an asthetic issue for me, nothing else).
- Can you find any information on the 166th armoured division? The red link looks out of place.
- In the section Operation Spring you have two pictures at either end of the section, are both needed? The positioning there looks a little ackward to me, hence the question.
Otherwise, it looks good. Well done. TomStar81 (Talk) 05:39, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've already shifted the Simonds image to the section above it. It cuts a bit into the very top of the Operation Spring section, but very little. I'm keeping the map (as it's sort of essential if we're going to use the spring counterattacks map, they were rendered together)

Unfortunately, I have been unable to locate any information on the 166th Armoured Division. If it becomes too much of an eyesore, I'll just remove the link.

It's a rare German panzer division that doesn't have an article; I've just set up the link to the 116th Panzer Division (Germany). Buckshot06(prof) 22:33, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comments. Cheers! Cam (Chat) 06:10, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Don't remove a red link; thats how we get new articles here. I had a red link in USS Wisconsin that existed for more than a year before a kind contributer from the middle east redirect the article to the correct location, so I know that if left alone red links will in time become articles. As for the rest, very well then, I accept it all in stride. The article meets all established A-class criteria, so you have my support. Good luck. TomStar81 (Talk) 06:18, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Once the various copy-edits are done, this should be an excellent article. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 07:13, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
