Operation Windsor

Nominator(s): Cam ^(Chat)

It's been a long time since I did one of these. This article was mostly worked early last year; approximately a year ago. It passed a thorough GA in that same timeframe, and has been slightly tweaked on and off since then. This article concerns a small-scale Canadian offensive against German positions northwest of Caen during Operation Overlord, as a prelude to Operation Charnwood.

Comments
- No problems with alt text, external links of disambig links. Well Done!
- The dubious tag is an ominous sign here, whats the status on that?
  - Ah, that was an old issue. I've reworded things to fix it slightly. Cam ^(Chat) 21:29, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Did the presence of HMS Rodney surprise the German's any? I don not see her mentioned in the battle itself, but the impression I get is that the Germans were prepared for ground and air attacks - but not attacks from the sea. Assuming she fired to support I would be interested in knowing if Rodney made a difference.
  - I haven't come across anything. Cam ^(Chat) 07:09, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Your 4 July section mentions petard-tanks. What are petard-tanks?
  - Added little caveat about that. Basically a Churchill tank with a really big 290mm mortar (basically Churchill tank for demolition engineers and rednecks). Cam ^(Chat) 07:12, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Do we really need three columns for the citations? Two I think would suffice. TomStar81 (Talk) 11:08, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Fixed the columns. Cam ^(Chat) 21:29, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support Still awaiting word on the battleship and tank comments though. TomStar81 (Talk) 17:03, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support Very well written, I also ran it through AWB and didn't see anything. --Kumioko (talk) 04:01, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support - everything looks good to me. Parsecboy (talk) 13:46, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
