A stub of this topic was created a few minutes ago here: Operation MOBILE. BurtAlert ( talk) 02:09, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
This is WPMILHIST Maritime because there are warships involved. Don't forget that Canada is sending a frigate. 184.144.166.85 ( talk) 04:30, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
Before anybody queries this, All current/recent Canadian Military Operation names are capitalised by the Canadian authorities, so that is the correct format to use, and there should therefore be no need to change the name of this article. However, in common usage, in the body of articles for example, the capitalisation may seem out of place, and it should therefore be acceptable to use the atlernative, Operation Mobile. Well, that's what I think :) Regards Lynbarn ( talk) 09:35, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
@IP bill is that you ?? @ all after looking into this i see it was decided WAY back in 2004 - long before the MOS on caps - so i say we "move" {with redirects) them all to normal text like the other countries . Dont think anyone will complain as most of the users that had voted on this are long gone. Moxy ( talk) 23:41, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
Task Force Libeccio should redirect here. 184.144.166.85 ( talk) 12:21, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
We now have 4 separate stub pages detailing actions taken by various countries to enforce the Libya no-fly zone - Operation Mobile, Operation Ellamy, Operation Odyssey Dawn and Opération Harmattan. This is overkill, we should simply have separate sections on the Libya NFZ page for each country's actions. If the Libya NFZ page gets too long or the operations continue for a substantial time we can separate them out then. Mztourist ( talk) 12:39, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
Should we add Queen Elizabeth II as a commander in the infobox? She is the commander in chief making her the highest ranked military offical or we could put the Governor General since he represents the Queen. Spongie555 ( talk) 05:37, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
Note that LGen André Deschamps is not in the chain of command of Operation MOBILE; as Commander, Air Command, he is a force generator, not a force employer. LGen Marc Lessard, Commander, Canadian Expeditionary Force Command, should be added as the overall commander of the Canadian effort. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CharmionCT ( talk • contribs) 18:52, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
than the Americanised page Operation Odyssey Dawn Other dictionaries are better ( talk) 16:15, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
I recently reverted an edit that removed the CP-140 Auroras from the page stating "The CP-140 Auroras still fall under Operation MOBILE, as Operation Unified Protector is also taking over the no-fly zone, not just the arms embargo." After looking at the actual NATO page and not just news articles, I realize that Operation Unified Protector just refers to the arms embargo and I was mistaken in my statement. However, as I understand it, the entire Canadian Contribution still falls under Operation MOBILE regardless, and the CP-140s should still be included. Does anybody have any sources that would clear this up either way? Piper2000ca ( talk) 16:07, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
After reading the DND page for Operation MOBILE, they make clear that Canada's contribution to Operation Unified Protector still falls under Operation MOBILE. It even names the CP-140s as being under Task Force Libeccio. Ref: http://www.comfec-cefcom.forces.gc.ca/pa-ap/ops/mobile/index-eng.asp Piper2000ca ( talk) 08:24, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
Should the Summary of Action continue with the current format (Day 1: 21 March 2011, Day 2: 22 March 2011, etc.), or switch to just posting the date (21 March 2011, 22 March 2011, etc.)? I propose changing it, and to just post the date, and get rid of the day number. Piper2000ca ( talk) 19:34, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
This article is on its way to becoming a book, and there is little editing going on to use summaries or precise statements. FWiW, comments?
The infobox says that the Operation ended on March 31, when it actually ended in October. Can someone clarify that?-- Stephen C Wells ( talk) 20:21, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
Also, in the introduction, why does it just break off and talk about how Odyssey Dawn was ended by Unified Protector when Odyssey Dawn had nothing to do with Canada and was America's op?
