 * Cheeky little CE, blammed a few typos, altered width of some tables, tidied references. All suggestive. Keith-264 (talk) 08:46, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello Keith, I noticed you'd changed the layout of the ship tables; can I ask why? The tables before were fairly symmetrical; now they are all different widths, and the notes in the Notes columns are all bunched up. Is that better?
 * Also, you brought two paragraphs in the Background section together, with the edit summary 'closed gap to retain cite': Are you thinking the Churchill comment is cited in Kemp? Maybe I haven't been clear, there: It isn't (though it is in Ruegg & Hague). If you need a citation I can add one, but the quote is fairly well-known, I think, and it's included in Churchill's page on wikiquote (tho' I don't know how to link to it).

 * I tried to narrow the notes sections to remove empty space but don't mind you altering them again. The Background section had a line break with no citation for the upper part, I assumed (mistakenly) that it had been one paragraph. If not I would rather it was cited, broken or closed. I was quite surprised at your inclusion of the other operations because I hadn't noticed that they formed a loose series, which just goes to show how piecemeal my editing has become since I became a shift worker. I suppose the other articles will need reciprocal amendments. All very interesting; I look forward to your next steps. If I can help, pls ask. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 23:25, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I came back with the ref for the Churchill quote, but it's gone! So, no worries... I've re-jigged the tables, though; I think they look better if they're in line with each other. And I've moved the references out of the headings; it messes with the edit summaries. Happy editing, Xyl 54 (talk) 23:58, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Looks good to me, I thought that the Churchill stuff came from one of the other articles but couldn't find it to I imported a bit. I should have noted that here. I've put it in for reassessment as a B. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 09:50, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Hutson
Got a caution about self-published works when adding Hutson to the biblio. The volume has an isbn, contains copied of primary source material but lacks a bibliography. 11:37, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

PQ 8
Used adapted sections from PQ 8s Background and Prelude as they are generic. Keith-264 (talk) 12:27, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
