I think everyone has been fine-tuning the opening three paragraphs, which has been to good effect. It seems to me that the introductory paragraphs should try to encapsulate the significance of the article's subject matter.
The first paragraph should be a high-level overview similar to the opening paragraph of any newspaper article -- who, what where, when, and how.
The second paragraph, in this case, should summarize the objectives of Operation Strikeback.
The last article should put Operation Strikeback into an historical context, such as the six NATO navies and sheer size of the undertaking, with Hanson Baldwin's contemporary quote from the New York Times highlights very dramatically. Marcd30319 ( talk) 20:15, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
Hello!
Thank you for your help and suggestions. The Peer Review suggestion is a good one.
I compiled the information on ships, aircraft, and port visits from:
These are cited in the on-line references of this article, and I believe that I can document the inclusion of each citation.
The two red links that you mention -- Task Force Alfa and the NATO ASW center -- are on my "to do" list, so rest assure that I plan to get cracking on them ASAP.
Thanks about the quotation heads-up. Good job. I do some concerns about photo placement (see below).
Again, thank you for your help. Marcd30319 ( talk) 12:15, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
I think that I have clarified the reference issues for the Naval forces for Operation Strikeback section. Marcd30319 ( talk) 15:11, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
I moved the 4 images around so that they would not interfere with where the [edit] buttons were displayed. Go here to see what I mean. the_ed 17 03:49, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
I appreciate your concerns about the edit button location. One solution may be to add a photo gallery at the end of the text for the entire Operational overview section although I would like to keep Image:GIUK gap.png near its text reference under Operation Fend Off and Operation Fishplay.
Again, thank you for your attention and hard work. Marcd30319 ( talk) 12:35, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your offer. Also, I launched the image gallery which included an additional image. Marcd30319 ( talk) 15:08, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Very good. I especially like your lead! Just be sure that all of your sources and references meet WP:RS and WP:V, and this should be a good article at least. the_ed 17 15:16, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
The image Image:GenGruenther NATO.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

There are several fact tags that need to be replaced by sources. All online sources need a date of retrieval in accordance with MOS.
Far too many flowery quotes. replace them with summaries. Wandalstouring ( talk) 18:29, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
The include quote mentions the RAF's Valiant V-bombers but there seems to be no other mention of these aircraft within the article. Where these part of Strikeback or another exercise at the same time? GraemeLeggett ( talk) 13:47, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Your article states that the saratoga had 4 fighter squadrons. In checking the details, non of the 4 squadrons denote the Douglas F4D within those squadrons. Further your article states that there were losses of F4D due to accidents and collisions. I know from family history that in fact there was at least 2 F4Ds that 'disappeared' during this operation. Could you please determine the correct fighter/attack squadrons that the F4D's, which were based on the Saratoga, were assigned? Thanks Jim 67.61.63.123 ( talk) 06:06, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
