Article title

I have my doubts about the article title, so I'm going to braoch the subject on the milhist ptoject pages GraemeLeggett ( talk) 20:20, 26 March 2009 (UTC) reply

Untitled Citations

I would like to qualify the assessment clarification needed on the citation side, a number of cites are unfinished - particularly web ones with "tbd" instead of title and no access date. GraemeLeggett ( talk) 07:27, 27 March 2009 (UTC) reply

I was referring to the Quality assessment of this article

on the 26th that marked citation as passed. The MoS states a direct citation should be provided for any quoted material, and I assume that the citation shold be complete for it to count. That I had not completed the external weblink data myself when moving them from inline to ref has no bearing - an article moves through stages to completion and that includes the refinement of the citations.

Separate citation for each date

Having had a further look, there are uncited quotations a couple of Bomber Command ones - within the chronology itself I can see that there is a direct date reference that means you can go to the right section of the BC diaries (with perhaps a little confusion within 1941) but these could be made more accurate by individual cites.

  • REVIEW: User:GraemeLeggett's 27 March claim that "there is a direct date reference" (i.e., webpage with distinct hyperlink) is apparently a veiled recommendation to have a citation for each date on which there was a bombing mission. Since there are hundreds of bombing missions already listed on this wikipage, this recommendation would cause a preposterous waste of space (hundreds of citation lines). 74.5.112.42 ( talk) 21:37, 1 April 2009 (UTC) reply
Nelson has 230 odd citations, is that too many? In the case here several citations will aggregate into one citation with multiple links (a, b, c, d etc I'm not aware of the correct terminology). I don't think it was a veiled suggestion of anything - my concern was to improve the citation quality by giving the location of the quote rather than a block of links which it might be from.
