Talk:Black Friday (1944)

What did they attack?
Could someone more familiar with this subject please clarify this statement "the regiment attacked over 1,200 yards of open beet fields and suffered extremely heavy casualties." At the moment it sounds like they attacked a field and in some way the beets were able to heavily injure the soldiers. It would be very helpful to note who they were fighting against, number of soldiers, armament, etc. and why those soldiers were apparently defending a beet field.

Funky title
The accompanying article is one of either
 * 7 that have as title "Black Friday" ...
 * 2 that have as title "Black Saturday" ... or
 * 1 that have as title "Black Monday" ...

... (in each case) disambiguated by a parenthesized year. Since this is in contrast to all the other days of the week, that style probably is unneeded and reflects either ignorance of the acceptability of Dab-page entries like
 * Black Tuesday, September 11, 2001 attacks

or something like a lack of persistence in weighing possible titles. I have not investigated them individually; instead, i suggest review, of each article, by one or more editors with prior interest in its corresponding topic, with an eye to finding a title that either avoids the "Black ...day" or disambiguates it with something more evocative than a year. Years are good tools for helping users who happen to have seen a brief reference to "Black Friday" and have at least rough idea of the year involved, but giving priority to that case in titling the article, rather than letting the Dab page handle that job, is almost always an impediment to most users seeking the article. Almost certainly, most of the 10 should be renamed. --Jerzy•t 06:50, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
