Operation Normandy is the code-name for a long-term project with two main objectives, the first of which is to improve the dilapidated state of all articles relating to the Battle of Normandy. Initially we will concentrate on those articles we identify as "core articles"; i.e. those about official operations, important battles, and the Normandy D-Day beaches. Many of these currently lack basic citations and references, and are often in dire need of restructuring.
The second major goal is to improve all core articles to FA quality (thus creating a Featured Topic) by the 70th Anniversary of D-Day on 6 June 2014. This will involve ensuring that all articles are of at least GA quality with a minimum GA:FA ratio of 1:1.
The project was started by Cam in May 2008.
