 * Symbol confirmed.svg, OK. Article and hook size, OK. AGF on offline sources. Good to go. --Gibmetal 77 talk 2 me 23:02, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Sorry, but the hook is vague rather than hooky. Can't you come up with something better?
 * There is also close paraphrasing from the one source available online:
 * Your version: not a single piece of the cargo went missing nor was any information about the operation ever leaked
 * Source: not a single piece of the cargo went missing. And although no one was required to give an oath of secrecy, no information was ever leaked.Yoninah (talk) 14:04, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

 * ALT1 ... that during WWII Operation Fish involved convoys of treasure ships moving the largest physical amount of wealth up to that point?
 * ALT2 ... that Operation Fish involved convoys of treasure ships moving all of the United Kingdom's wealth to Canada?
 * Thank you for cleaning up the close paraphrasing. What about something more specific to draw people in?
 * ALT3: ... that in WWII's top-secret Operation Fish, the United Kingdom shipped billions of dollars in gold and securities to Canada, and not one ship was lost?
 * ALT4: ... that in WWII's top-secret Operation Fish, the United Kingdom shipped billions of dollars in gold and securities to Canada right under Hitler's nose? Yoninah (talk) 14:45, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Checked the online source with Dcoetzee's Duplication Detector and Brewer's book (pp. 60-62 were available on Amazon). After some small edits, I must WP:AGF about the other sources. I approve ALT3 because it's short enough and more accurate. -   t  u coxn \ talk 14:49, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
