List of Commando raids on the Atlantic wall

 * Nominator(s): Jim Sweeney (talk) 08:19, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because, even though it is my first attempt at a Featured List I believe it meets the criteria. It has just had a WP:MILHIST peer review and all comments have been addressed.. Jim Sweeney (talk) 08:19, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I'll come back and do a full review of this later, but we don't start FL's like this anymore. Look at Army of the Danube order of battle for a somewhat similar list for an idea of how to open this list. When you're done, there is unlikely to be any bold text left.

 * Comment—no dab links, no dead external links. Ucucha 06:42, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Can't understand why Operation Chariot is referenced as the greatest raid of all time multiple times in the article. The only reason given is because Jeremy Clarkson made a documentary about it. Objectively it seems to me as Operation Claymore and Operation Archery had much better results especially as in Operation Chariot many were killed and many more captured.

 * Reply - No Clarkson did a BBC programme on the raid which used the title already in common use see here for a Google book search The term is only used twice once in the lede and once beside the entry for the raid. --Jim Sweeney (talk) 06:27, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Reply - oh ok, I get it now. Thanks for explaining. Philistus (talk) 14:30, 27 August 2010 (UTC)


 * After sorting is ordered I support this list. Btw, per wp:lead, a picture up in the lead section would be good. Sandman888 (talk) Latest PR 17:26, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Support. Well written and well sourced list. Ruslik_ Zero 08:08, 25 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Support! One question: Is alt-text required on pictures in galleries? MisterBee1966 (talk) 14:06, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I was not sure so tried to add alt text but it does not work within the gallery template. Jim Sweeney (talk) 21:58, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The FLC criteria doesn't require alt text at all at present. Courcelles 01:48, 2 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Support Courcelles 21:58, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Independent copy edit completed. Hopefully this will be adequate as there do not seem to be a lot of active copy editors at present. -- Diannaa (Talk) 20:27, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Support Comments 
 * Place of publication needed for virtually all references.
 * Titles should follow Manual_of_Style_(capital_letters)--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 03:16, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes missed that - both done --Jim Sweeney (talk) 08:02, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I've found it very helpful to build a library page with all of my books and references properly formatted; you might consider the same.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:24, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the support and that's a good idea as I use the same books all the time. --Jim Sweeney (talk) 16:11, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
