Talk:Battle of Mount Tumbledown

Untitled
"60 killed and wounded" can anyone break that down? Rich Farmbrough 30 June 2005 22:43 (UTC)

Nomenclature
Argentinian and Argentine are both usual nomenclatures, but they shouldn't be mixed up in the same document. 80.225.7.2 10:36, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Some of these paragraphs seem to be entirely too long Kenton M 14:53, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Argentine Ranks are wrong. No Army ranks were used for the Marines. Correct translations would be: OF-1 Guardiamarina= Midshipman Teniente de Corbeta= Sublieutenant or Ensign Teniente de Fragata= Lieutenant J.G. OF-2 Teniente de Navio= Lieutenant Hence, the equivalent to an Army Captain is a teniente de Navio, and not a SLt. (See SLt Vazquez). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.0.92.126 (talk) 14:37, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

In the Scots Guards, Right Flank and Left Flank are the names of the first two Companies of each battalion. I have therefore removed the incorrect "Company" appended each time to these terms.

I may be wrong but I think the Scots Guards battalion at the battle of Mount Tumbledown was the 1st Battalion Scots Guards - NOT 2nd Battalion Scots Guards. This should be checked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.233.182.219 (talk) 10:59, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Sourcing
Much of this article is unsourced and in the second half especially seems to have problems with POV. I was going to add Fact tags, but realised I'd cover the place with them, so please can somebody check this article at some point.--Jackyd101 14:54, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

NPOV
How a battalion + Engineers Company + artillery battery became a Brigade ? Plus there are plenty of sources that the Tigercats were attached to Port Stanley airport not Tumbledown --Jor70 (talk) 14:42, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

What is the source for this allegation "one of the dead being an RI 6 soldier who had been allegedly bayoneted to death by a Guardsman while he attended to a wounded comrade." Not good enough this... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Captain McVitie (talk • contribs) 21:53, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Strength / Casualties and losses
The Argentinian forces only have a Company deployed at Tumbledown. It was the NACAR Company, and later was deployed there during the combat, a platoon from the army. And no all of the engage in combat (less than the half did). So the Strength of 700 Argentine Marines + 200 infantrymen from Argentine Army is totally wrong. This can be checked in the book Return to Tumbledown, Mike Seear, Chapter 8,9,10,11.
