Put a map in but buggered up the formatting. I think it's OK now. Keith-264 ( talk) 15:15, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
I've changed all the http's from http to https but notice that sometimes the address fails with https, if that happens, changing it back to http might help. Regards Keith-264 ( talk) 14:57, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
I would never normally even comment on grammar on Wikipedia but the wild misuse of commas in this article, often randomly interspersed in sentences with no pattern or reason, makes this long and otherwise excellent article extremely hard to read. I might tackle it myself, but it seems a gargantuan task and I don't understand how it was ever this bad. They literally seem to be included at random. I include one example:
'The first days of the British Arras offensive, saw another German defensive debacle similar to that at Verdun on 15 December 1916, despite an analysis of that failure being issued swiftly, which concluded that deep dug-outs in the front line and an absence of reserves for immediate counter-attacks, were the cause of the defeat.'
This is two sentences that have been joined together and sprinkled with commas, making it juddering and laborious to read. Its not just that there are too many commas, its that they are included in the middle of phrases. Its throughout the entire article. the example above should be something like: 'The first days of the British Arras offensive saw another German defensive debacle similar to that at Verdun on 15 December 1916. This was despite an analysis of that failure being issued swiftly, which concluded that deep dug-outs in the front line and an absence of reserves for immediate counter-attacks were the cause of the defeat.'— Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.21.177.242 ( talk) 10:59, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
The whole article lacked of neutrality. Except for one there are only British or American authors. The article should also include the works of German and French authors Mr.Lovecraft ( talk) 09:02, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
I think that you're sticking your Wiki neck out; to assume that historians from one country come to different conclusions because of it is naive and I'm an Anglophone, hence writing on English wiki. I won't waste my time on you beyond predicting that the banner will linger for a decade then get removed. Keith-264 ( talk) 11:23, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
