: The article actually states that the attack was less significant than the attack on Pearl Harbour. Seeing as the attack on Pearl started the Pacific War and crippled much of the US fleet I think that this is a fair statement. Darwin was a significant Allied base in February 1942, but the attack on Pearl Harbour led to a greater loss of life and had a much bigger impact on the war. --[[User:Nick Dowling|Nick Dowling]] 12:34, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

==Requested move==
Change title from '''Bombing of Darwin (February 1942)''' to '''Bombing of Darwin'''. Later redirects to former. No reason for two articles, one about all bombings of Darwin (which this should be) and one specific bombing.

The columns in the battlebox are off-centre; this doesn't seem to be happening with other pages. Can anyone fix it? Thanks. Grant65 (Talk) 10:48, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

Decisive Battle

Since when was a air raid killing less then 250 a Decisive battle in WW2.

Flags


I added small flags to the infobox which was reverted, I thought they were common to use in infoboxes such as in Vietnam War or Korean War --- Astrokey44 13:10, 12 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Warboxes maybe, but battleboxes no. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Battles. Gdr 13:25, 12 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Merging in Darwin 1942

To me there doesn't appear to be anything at Darwin 1942 which is not in this article, except for the figure of "40 ships", which I haven't checked. What do others think? 12:45, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

If there is anything in it that can be used, fine. Otherwise, delete it. I included the merge tag because it looked like someone was working on it. Bjelleklang - talk 13:50, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Insignificant Attack?

The article states that the attack was less that significant, yet over 250 people still lost their lives in this attack, and any loss of life can be deemed significant. Talk User:Fissionfox 11:32, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
