Mustafa Kemal was low ranking officer back then. He had many superiors, like Von Sanders..
From what I see, there are none listed, and the links below do not provide all of the information given in the article. Should this article be marked as not citing sources? Akallabet 06:13, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
The numbers indicated are total casualties, not killed. This is a gross mistake for both sides. On the Turkish side total killed in this particular campaign were about 90,000. 15,000 of them in the hospitals, behind the lines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hudavendigar ( talk • contribs) 17:41, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
In the section "Aftermath":
"De Robeck was reported to be distraught from the losses [22]. He wrote on 18th March: After losing so many ships I shall obviously find myself superseded tomorrow morning.[23] He had been in charge of a fleet that had suffered the most serious loss to the Royal Navy since Trafalgar"
Yet in the Wikipedia entry "The Battle of Trafalgar":
"The French and Spanish lost 22 ships, while the British lost none in the most decisive naval engagement of the Napoleonic Wars." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.109.211.131 ( talk) 15:17, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
This section, like the rest of the article, seems to be representing mostly the Allied views and the post-mortem elaborated over the years, mostly unchallelenged. It is not a foregone conclusion that one "more" push and the fleet would have sailed through Canakkale. They had not even touched the ten layers of mine fields protecting the narrow part. In addition the more numerous short range guns had not seen much action and they would have been a lot more effective. There is no basis for the myth that just one more push would have turned Gallipoli into a victory. Turkish will and determination was a huge factor in the outcome, not the number of guns or Allied strategy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.77.158.17 ( talk) 04:54, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
In the infobox there is a misinterpretation of loss figures. Since the article is about the naval operations, the human loss figures should be given accordingly. The human loss of both sides is under 1000, and not more. The figures given in the box are 252 000 and 253 000 . These figures refer to land battles after troop landing (which is not the subject of this article). So the human loss figures must be replaceds by correct figures.

The title should have read "Allied Naval Operations", as it covers only and only the Allied naval operations. Ottomans did have a navy and limited as it was, they had operations, some with siginificant results. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.77.162.40 ( talk) 13:03, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Imported the background section of Gallipoli Campaign and edited it to fit existing text, tidied citations and references, rm dupe wikilinks altered a few headers. Keith-264 ( talk) 17:44, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
Seems like this is a missing topic. They were not substantial, but both sides utilized sea planes in various roles. Worth a section I think. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.41.176.219 ( talk) 17:13, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
