Respectfully submit this article on a World War II battle for FA consideration. Although not as long as some battle articles, I believe it includes all of the relevant information for an encyclopedic article on the event. Self-nomination with helpful polishing from other editors.

Support - I can get behind this. Short, but seems to contain all the information the other FAs on battles have, so I guess it's comphrehensive. There's just less to be written, is all. It's well referenced, detailed, well written, properly organized... yeah. I can support this.

Support but please move External links out of References (unless they were really used as References, in which case they shouldn't be listed as External links).

They were used as references. I've always divided up my references into "Books" and "External Links." Do you feel that the web references should be in a section with a different heading?

Yes, have a look at
WP:LAYOUT. All references used should be listed under Notes/References; External links is a separate standard heading which is not normally used to describe Notes/References. Perhaps you could say Book References and Web References (or something along those lines), so as not to get tangled up in standard Wiki headings? Regards,

Support — Overall a nice piece of work. To put things in perspective though, the background section could use an overview map that clearly shows the locations of Rabaul, Guadalcanal Island, and possibly the battle of Coral Sea. (But the map on the
Guadalcanal campaign page is a little too large a scale, and, besides, it's hard to read. :) Thanks. —
