Talk:Russian occupations of Beirut

Copy edit
and others. Greetings Borsoka and others. I am here from GOCE to copy edit this rather fine looking article. If I do anything you don't like, or don't understand, feel free to flag it up here. My first query: It needs an infobox. Would you like to do this or would you prefer me to? Gog the Mild (talk) 19:18, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for taking over. I'm not the biggest fan of infoboxes, to be honest. But I would gladly add one if that stands in the way of a GAN. How about two very brief boxes in the "First" and "Second" occupation sections? Fitzcarmalan (talk) 19:51, 11 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Posting them here so I don't conflict with your edits. Feel free to add them anytime you wish. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 19:59, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I suggest adding the second one right after the table. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 20:01, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * You need a cite immediately after ""new force of Western penetration in the Middle East." (Aftermath)
 * I have put the infoboxes in. Can I suggest that you leave them for a week or two and see if you can get used to them. (Personally I wouldn't pick up a GAN article without an infobox. If I did I would give it a quick fail.)
 * First copy edit run through finished. I will leave it a day or two and than go through fine tuning. Let me know if there are any changes you don't like. Gog the Mild (talk) 17:28, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah. I see what you mean about the infobox locations. Can I suggest putting the second one immediately under "Second occupation" rather than under the list of ships. Gog the Mild (talk) 21:54, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I previewed it, but it seems to be messing with the table somehow (as in pushing it downwards), though it depends on the type of screen you're using. I feel like it's more appropriate right next to the paragraph which discusses the actual bombardment. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 22:04, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
 * (ec) You mean use the same reference twice in a row? I've relocated the boxes to the relevant sections and used additional sources for the commanders' full names, since they were only mentioned by their last names in the original sources. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 21:58, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I mean consider moving the second infobox so that the article looks like this. Gog the Mild (talk) 22:07, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
 * You need a cite immediately after ""new force of Western penetration in the Middle East." (Aftermath) - I was referring to this part. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 22:42, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry. Yes. WP:MILCITE - "Citations". Gog the Mild (talk) 23:11, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I think that I am done. Ping me if there is anything you would like me to look at. Good luck with the article. Gog the Mild (talk) 14:38, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * All good now. Thanks again for reviewing this. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 15:01, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
