  • Comment articles are free of disambiguation links. all external links seem to be working. Alt text however, is in dire need of attention. In most of the articles. Not a reason to object, but since we're paying attention to the topic, might a well keep our readers with visual difficulties in mind.

All geoocordinates added except for Operation Turkey Buzzard which covered 3,200 miles from England to North Africa. If required can you suggest where its located? Jim Sweeney (talk) 19:50, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Can't say I do. It's just something I noticed when checking the articles. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 20:20, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'd suggest the LZ in Tunisia, if that's possible. Buggie111 (talk) 20:25, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ok done as suggested by Buggie111 Jim Sweeney (talk) 20:48, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
All references fixed.Jim Sweeney (talk) 20:18, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Minor styling issue, some of the references are listed as "Peters and Buist" while others are listed as "Shortt & McBride" (see e.g. 4th Parachute Brigade (United Kingdom)). One style should be picked and stuck with on all the articles. Likewise for "p.83" and "p. 145".Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 20:30, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Does anyone see this kind of inconsistency within a single article? - Dank (push to talk) 21:24, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I gave one above, but it's been fixed now. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 03:36, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
All changed to the same style. Jim Sweeney (talk) 22:13, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
Yep, that's got it, well done! Zangar (talk) 11:56, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
