I believe the article meets the Good Topic criteria. It includes a set of similar, interrelated articles that cover a specific topic, which are all GA Class or above. --Jim Sweeney (talk) 08:07, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support All the articles on this division's major sub-units and operations are of GA standard - great work Jim. Nick-D (talk) 08:59, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Headbomb

Comments

Comment articles are free of disambiguation links. all external links seem to be working. Alt text however, is in dire need of attention. In most of the articles. Not a reason to object, but since we're paying attention to the topic, might a well keep our readers with visual difficulties in mind.

Additional comment Operation Ladbroke, Operation Fustian, Battle of Arnhem, and Operation Doomsday are apparently in need of geocoordinates. It's also possible the others are in need of them, but they haven't been marked as such. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 18:39, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

All geoocordinates added except for Operation Turkey Buzzard which covered 3,200 miles from England to North Africa. If required can you suggest where its located? Jim Sweeney (talk) 19:50, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can't say I do. It's just something I noticed when checking the articles. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 20:20, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd suggest the LZ in Tunisia, if that's possible. Buggie111 (talk) 20:25, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok done as suggested by Buggie111 Jim Sweeney (talk) 20:48, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bad referencing in certain places Reflinks is trying to change several named references. This is usually do to a mismatch, such as using "<ref name=mitch156>Mitcham 2007, p.158</ref>" in one place, and "<ref name=mitch156>Mitcham 2007, p.156</ref>" in the other. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 19:46, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

All references fixed.Jim Sweeney (talk) 20:18, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Minor styling issue, some of the references are listed as "Peters and Buist" while others are listed as "Shortt & McBride" (see e.g. 4th Parachute Brigade (United Kingdom)). One style should be picked and stuck with on all the articles. Likewise for "p.83" and "p. 145".Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 20:30, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone see this kind of inconsistency within a single article? - Dank (push to talk) 21:24, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I gave one above, but it's been fixed now. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 03:36, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

All changed to the same style. Jim Sweeney (talk) 22:13, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support Why not add British airborne operations in North Africa? It's a good article too. You might also consider Frederick Browning. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:17, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I had not considered Browning, but the North Africa operation was not carried out by the 1st Airborne Division, just the 1st Parachute Brigade in an independent role.Jim Sweeney (talk) 06:56, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment In the footnotes section of the lead article I'm seeing three long gibberish strings, the first being "?UNIQ516aa7fbef5695e-nowiki-00000004-QINU?2?UNIQ516aa7fbef5695e-nowiki-00000005-QINU?".

Sorry dont see that Sven Jim Sweeney (talk) 21:10, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I do see this problem in my normal Chrome and also in IE9, but only when logged out in both - I have no idea as to why! Zangar (talk) 10:56, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes logged out and get the same, it seems to link to the citation but instead of [22] has the uni-code. I have never seen it before and would not know how to fix it. Its strange as its not happening with other citations and a quick spot check of the other articles does not display the same. Jim Sweeney (talk) 11:24, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK I have changed a <ref name=ferg15/> to <ref name=ferg15>Ferguson, p15</ref> which seem to have fixed it. Jim Sweeney (talk) 11:40, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, that's got it, well done! Zangar (talk) 11:56, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Gran2 has fixed this. Theleftorium ^(talk) 19:37, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support I've reviewed many of these for GA, and am happy to say they are a great set of articles. Ruby comment! 20:58, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support, with a minor caveat that I'm disappointed the plot summaries aren't ever sourced. There are so many sources out there that could provide non-viewers a chance to have an objective summary of each episode, instead of relying on the episode itself for the source. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:40, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We just follow the manual of style (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Television#Plot section). Anyway, you can find plot summaries in at least two of the references we use in each episode.--Maitch (talk) 14:12, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I know, I just like seeing a ref after the plot summary. Tis all. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:06, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The M+M's Tour

I am nominating this for a good topic because I think it meets the criteria. All six articles are GA. I'm not sure if The M+M's Tour should be included though, but I consider it to be part of the background of the album. Xwomanizerx (talk) 18:44, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Admiral Hipper

Blücher

Prinz Eugen

Seydlitz

Lützow

A class of five German heavy cruisers built shortly before World War II, only three were completed. Prinz Eugen is probably the most famous, as she was Bismarck's consort on her only mission. This group of ships may eventually be integrated into a larger topic and a <pipe dream>Cruisers of Germany topic similar to the recently promoted Battleships of Germany topic</pipe dream>.
