Nominator(s): Eurocopter (talk)

I am nominating this article for A-Class review because I overhauled it during the past month and believe it meets all criteria. There might be some copyediting/prose issues, but i'm willing to resolve them during the review. Eurocopter (talk) 21:35, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"The Mace (in Polish Maczuga - because the ridge..." (in introduction)

Is there a specific reason why the hyphen is necessary? Couldn't it be replaced as "in Polish Maczuga, because the ridge..." w/o the hyphen? Would correct myself, unless there's a legit reason it's used.

"German Generalfeldmarschall Walter Model was aware of the need..." (in intro)

Hm, not really, as it isn't the same thing (that's why an "Generalfeldmarschall" article exists). --Eurocopter (talk) 13:21, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can Generalfeldmarschall just be translated as "field marshall"? (Just curious, am not familiar with these matters)

Inconsistencies with dates (check infobox also) - are you using DMY or MDY?

Done.--Eurocopter (talk) 13:21, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support.

Decide if German ranks are italicized. It is in the lead, but not in the Background section. Done
You also switch between German ranks and the translations, it should be standardized one way or another. Done
Can some images be moved to the left? Everything is on the right. Done --Eurocopter (talk) 13:45, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

These are minor issues and should be easy for you to fix. Otherwise, very interesting article, good luck at FAC. – Joe N utter 01:34, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Looks good now. Excellent work. Cla68 (talk) 20:40, 10 March 2009 (UTC) Comments. Sorry that you have had to wait so long for more reviewers on this nomination, but below are some of my comments on the article:[reply]

This: "known as The Mace (in Polish Maczuga, because the ridge on this hill resembled a caveman's mace with two bulbous heads)" is not a proper inline citation. Done
You have different date formats, sometimes 9 August and sometimes August 9. Done
The article makes it look a little like the Polish troops were fighting in a vacuum. Who and where were the Allied supporting troops on their flanks who were also endeavoring to close the pocket? I'm aware that the Falaise Pocket article contains this info, but a little bit of context about it needs to be in this article. You give some context in the Aftermath, but some earlier would be helpful. Otherwise, I think this is close to being ready. Cla68 (talk) 07:55, 10 March 2009 (UTC) Done (added a bit of info regarding Canadians in Chambois, but i'm not sure what to add anymore). Cheers, --Eurocopter (talk) 13:48, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support - superb work, strong addition to the Normandy Campaign, perfect complimentary article to Operation Tractable which goes into fine detail on the battle within a battle. Cam ^(Chat) 04:34, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
