*Allied* military deception in WWII
Hi again, it's been a while. I was wondering about the lack of Russian articles in the template. Guess they're an ally, Yalta and all that. There were major deceptions for operations such as Uranus at Stalingrad, not to mention Kursk, and Bagration in Belarus. I'm leafing my way slowly through Glantz's book (Soviet Military Deception in the 2nd WW) - it's pretty dense, but fascinating. Do you have any plans? I've sketched an outline at Maskirovka (and met a troll, worse luck, it hadn't occurred to me it might be political). Plenty to do if anyone's interested.

By the way, what's that about Article? It's a dab page, so I guess it's another article named, er, article... Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:20, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Hah; yeh I think he got the template wrong. List of Ops (B) staff is the one. Well; the simple answer is that I don't have any sources for the Russian operations - it would definitely be great to improve that coverage :D The same applies to deception in the eastern theatres as well (e.g. mostly US operations around Japan). I have some resources here, but never got round to really reading through them. One day...! --Errant (chat!) 14:07, 2 March 2015 (UTC)



Thanks for your reply. Hope you can get hold of Glantz - it's good stuff. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:03, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Handleys of Sleaford and the Manor House
Hi ErrantX, I have just created an article for the Manor House, Sleaford. I have been able to trace the building's ownership to 1851, but I have little record of it before that. I've found a much later newspaper article stating that Benjamin Handley lived there in the early 19th century, but that is the only reliable source I can find for him even being there. I do notice that you worked on the Handley family article and it mentions that Benjamin created the house after the enclosures. Do you still have the book (it was privately printed, and I can't access a copy at the moment)? And, if so, would you be kind enough to see whether there is any more detailed mention of this house? Many thanks, —Noswall59 (talk) 00:10, 3 March 2015 (UTC).
 * Oh, interesting, I didn't realise it was privately published :( that's not so good. I can probably go grab a copy in the next few weeks, the local library definitely has one. It would be worth looking into the enclosure records for Sleaford as well as that is when the land was given the Handley, apparently. --Errant (chat!) 07:34, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much. I have found an article about enclosures in Sleaford, which I will read through tomorrow, so fingers-crossed that may help to shed some light on the house as well. Many thanks, —Noswall59 (talk) 13:42, 3 March 2015 (UTC).
