Talk:Invasion of France (1944)

Poor disambiguation
From Talk:Normandy Campaign:
 * [ Normandy Campaign ] is now a poor example of a disambiguation page. All of the links contained on the page are subtopics of the same general topic; this would suggest that there should either be an article at this title that provides an overview of the general topic, or a redirect to an existing article (Operation Overlord, perhaps?) that already provides such an overview.  At least as the various topics are defined on this page (without having reviewed any of the linked articles), it appears to the casual reader that Normandy Landings is a subtopic of Invasion of Normandy, which in turn is a subtopic of Operation Overlord.  If that is not in fact correct, the page should be revised.  And what happens to the poor reader who is perusing another article on some WW II-related topic and clicks on a link to Normandy Campaign?  How are they supposed to know which of the articles listed here is most likely to be relevant to what they were reading about in the previous article?  There are over one thousand links to this disambiguation page from other Wikipedia articles!  --Russ (talk) 15:22, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Also, why do Battle of normandy and Battle of Normandy redirect to different pages? Agradman talk/contribs 18:13, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

I've started the disambiguation improvement in the Invasion of France disamb tree at the Invasion of France (1944) page, but have temporarily included italics to indicate redirects during the period of improvement that will hopefully include other editors. This first draft based on the Normandy Campaign redirect has some of those italic names for a few redirect pages, and some should instead have article contents (e.g., Normandy beachhead should describe the geography). I've likewise temporarily included inline links other than the standard initial link for each listing. For example, I included the different Battle of Normandy, The battle of Normandy, and Battle for Normandy redirects, but the latter phrase appears to only appear elsewhere in WP at Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy and Military history of France during World War II (the latter also has "Campaign of France"--which corresponds to the French Campaign redirect.) 30 SW (talk) 23:11, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Since the Bombing of Normandy began on March 6 and that was part of Operation Overlord, why does the latter article claim the overall operation started on June 6? Even the paratrooper operations of Overlord began on June 5 (WWII D-Day-1).
 * I kept the preceding contradiction of the Normandy Campaign page with Template:Campaignbox Normandy which differently identifies "Operation Overlord" as the "Invasion of Normandy". 30 SW (talk) 23:11, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
