Best-known battles[edit]

I've added a couple; I've also shortened the HX.84 entry, as the detail I've taken out is on that page, and it's linked already.
I've left the entry on HX.106, but it hardly seems notable; What does anyone else think? Xyl 54 08:10, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

B class review[edit]

B class. I made a few small edits, but here are 3 issues I cannot fix. Please look into them. Djmaschek (talk) 00:19, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the HX convoy table, the 1942 columns do not add up to the total. Please fix. (I think the "23" should be a "3".) Done
Convoy battles: HX 79 says it was the "worst day" but does not give the specific date. Done
Convoy battles: HX 229/SC 122: "was the largest convoy battles" (either: "were...battles" or "was...battle"). Done

The Atlantic map has a dot at 0°N 25°W, which is between Brazil and West Africa. I suggest putting the dot either at Halifax or else in the North Atlantic between Halifax and UK. Djmaschek (talk) 00:35, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do the number of ships and number of losses include escorts? If so, I think this should be mentioned specifically. If not, are the numbers available, especially for losses since some escorts would not have been with the convoys for their entire journeys? Thanks for the article and for looking into these questions. Donner60 (talk) 00:38, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, I have amended the title of the table to make it clearer. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 00:44, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Hohum: Thanks for that; I copy a table from earlier stuff and change the contents but clearly you know what you're doing with the structure. Is there a how to.... anywhere that you could point me towards? Thanks Keith-264 (talk) 10:23, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Help:Table is my first go to. (Hohum ^@) 00:19, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
