RE: Salamaua–Lae Campaign
From the lede: "Blamey also planned and carried out the significant and victorious Salamaua–Lae Campaign." In the article on the Salamaua–Lae Campaign he is hardly mentioned at all: only a neutral to somewhat negative mention in the aftermath section. Can some fine historian determine which of these articles is BS? (Sarcasm intended.) CactusFlower (talk) 22:32, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
- The Salamaua-Lae campaign article is currently under-developed and needs a lot of work. Hawkeye7 (talk) 01:21, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
- I believe you have missed my sarcasm. Both of the articles appear to me (a non-military historian admittedly) as puff pieces. Please keep your puff pieces consistent mate. CactusFlower (talk) 22:24, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

But yet I have seen this duplicitous ploy of "then you fix it" in other places. I am not a historian. I do not have access to the sources required. But you are quite happy to see a one sided (and perhaps untruthful) article because of that? Okay mate.
