Omaha Beach

This article was peer reviewed in June [1] . I have accommodated the resulting comments as best I can and would now like to see if it is up to standard for A-Class. Thanks. --FactotEm 16:58, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

• Weak Support The following are suggestions for improvement:
  • There are no citations for the terrain section, any chance you may be able to find some?

Done.

• • Any chance of finding articles to link the German units to for the "defenses" section under "Bloody Ohamha"? It would be interesting to learn more about the 716th Division, 352nd Division, 916th Grenadier Regiment, 726th Grenadier Regiment, and 352nd Artillery Regiment to help put the defense of the beach into perspective.

Done for those that exist.

• • I notice the article has a gallery section, is this section really needed or could it be removed and/or linked to the commons repository?

The gallery was not my work. I'd do as you suggest but have absolutely no idea how to.

• • Some of your citations in the notes section are letter for letter the same, see if you can combine them (case in point: #29 and #31). TomStar81 (Talk) 22:23, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Done.

And thanks for your comments (I'll see what I can do about the gallery) --FactotEm 06:10, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

• Support There is a sizable selection of images on the commons for Operation Overlord; I linked that page to this one since this is technically a page relfecting that part of the operation. I will look into tightening up the image linker later today if I get the chance, and see about transfering the images loaed here over to the commons. Good work.

Thank you - appreciate your help --FactotEm 21:51, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

• Support A great article with quality information. --Pupster21 Talk To Me 11:53, 10 September 2007 (UTC) However, I think there might need to be a section telling about Omaha Beach today. Pupster21 Talk To Me 11:54, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to review - I've added what little I can cite now. --FactotEm 21:51, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

• Support — I changed the notes section to two columns instead of one, since it's over 80 items. Fantastic work. I know you've been working on this one for quite a while now. JKBrooks85 12:42, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Indeed - it is a lot more work than I expected. Thanks for your comments. --FactotEm 21:51, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

• Support. Very informative and well-cited article that meets the criteria. I would, however, suggest that many of the short sub-sections be combined and that the aftermath section be expanded to include information on what Omaha Beach was used for after D-day, such as for how long it was used as a location for landing further reinforcements, etc. Cla68 17:04, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Good points. Done, though I'm not sure that there couldn't be a bit more merging. I'll have another look in the morning. Thanks. --FactotEm 21:51, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
