Operation Totalize

 * Passed --Eurocopter (talk) 12:50, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Having finished the full article promotion process for the second half of the campaigns around the Falaise Pocket, I have now turned my attention to the first half - namely this article. Approximately two or three months ago, it passed an incredibly thorough-GAN (courtesy of theed17), and has undergone gradual tweaking since. As such, I believe it meets the quality necessary for A-Class. Cam (Chat) 23:51, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Support Comments - several sentences at the end of paragraphs are with out a citation, and probably should have them. Also, it was my understanding (I may be wrong however) that per MoS, level headings should not start with "The". Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 04:56, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * done. Cam (Chat) 17:34, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * A citation is still needed on the last sentence in the first paragraph of the "Offensive plan" section, another in the same location in the "Anglo-Canadian Assault" section and a third about Keller not receiving any further command positions (shouldn't this actually be field commands, or was he not given another command what so ever?). Also, I think the following needs to be reworded: "In any event Crerar had lost confidence in him because of his failure to capture the overall objective of Falaise[nb 2] and for his poor performance in Totalize[33] and he was to receive no further command positions." - It just doesn't sound right, particularly with the repetition of "and".

 * All fixed. Cam (Chat) 06:54, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * All of my issues have been addressed, so I am happy to support. My only further comment is to be careful on how many brackets you use; try not to be too excessive. Also, I hope you don't mind, but I made a few minor tweaks on my last run through with the article. Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 06:42, 27 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment You have two disambig links that need to be located and if it all possible fixed. TomStar81 (Talk) 23:55, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Both fixed. Cam (Chat) 05:59, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

I have also added a question to the talk page which will not efect my support etc but if you could have a look thanks Jim Sweeney (talk) 11:51, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment In the Background section Two German SS Panzer divisions were shifted westward from Verrières Ridge to face this new threat do you know which two ?
 * fixed and clarified. Cam (Chat) 05:15, 28 January 2009 (UTC)


 * References comments (this version)
 * Should "footnotes" and "citations" be capitalized?
 * Fixed. Cam (Chat) 05:15, 28 January 2009 (UTC)


 * What makes http://montormel.evl.pl/?id=64 a reliable source?
 * Removed altogether. Cam (Chat) 05:15, 28 January 2009 (UTC)


 * A publishing year for the book Battle for Caen
 * Fixed. Cam (Chat) 05:15, 28 January 2009 (UTC)


 * What makes http://www.canadiansoldiers.com/ a good external link per WP:EL? What does it add to this article?
 * I've removed it. Cam (Chat) 05:15, 28 January 2009 (UTC)


 * What is up with the last external link? "?, Eric" ?
 * Also removed. Cam (Chat) 05:15, 28 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Access dates and authors are not needed, I think, per External links. I think that the authors look ok...but the access dates really need to go, IMHO.
 * For the one remaining external link (the official history of Canada in WWII), the author needs to stay, but I've scrapped the external link. Cam (Chat) 05:15, 28 January 2009 (UTC)


 * There is a dubious tag in the fourth para of the "Background" section.
 * Fixed, I had the wrong division number down (116th, not 166th)
