- Support Why not add British airborne operations in North Africa? It's a good article too. You might also consider Frederick Browning. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:17, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
- I had not considered Browning, but the North Africa operation was not carried out by the 1st Airborne Division, just the 1st Parachute Brigade in an independent role.Jim Sweeney (talk) 06:56, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

- Comment In the footnotes section of the lead article I'm seeing three long gibberish strings, the first being "?UNIQ516aa7fbef5695e-nowiki-00000004-QINU?2?UNIQ516aa7fbef5695e-nowiki-00000005-QINU?". Is this on my end or is something broken over there? Sven Manguard Wha? 17:25, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

- I do see this problem in my normal Chrome and also in IE9, but only when logged out in both - I have no idea as to why! Zangar (talk) 10:56, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
- Yes logged out and get the same, it seems to link to the citation but instead of [22] has the uni-code. I have never seen it before and would not know how to fix it. Its strange as its not happening with other citations and a quick spot check of the other articles does not display the same. Jim Sweeney (talk) 11:24, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
- OK I have changed a <ref name=ferg15/> to <ref name=ferg15>Ferguson, p15</ref> which seem to have fixed it. Jim Sweeney (talk) 11:40, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
- Yep, that's got it, well done! Zangar (talk) 11:56, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

- Support. Excellent and well-organised coverage of a focused topic area. (Disclaimer: I copy-edited two of these articles for GA.) --Demiurge1000 (talk) 17:46, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
