I think you are completely wrong that when you write. |

"See talk page where this has been discussed in detail and a consensus has been reached that it was an "Allied operational failure". You are given sources that say about the failure of the operation. And you want to make it look like it was a "operational failure". If it's supposedly the same thing, then I'll try to replace it. Would you mind?" If that's what I call the result of the operation?

Your edits in the german speking wikipedia
After some bad mannered users reset your improvements of 2nd Armoured Division it seems we have now made it clear that not only are you perfectly correct with your edits but also that their behaviour towards you was completely inacceptable. The admin who helped to intervene here said he would prefer for you to revert the article back to your correct version instead of me doing this, so I would like to invite you over once more.

23rd (Northumbrian) Division scheduled for TFA
This is to let you know that the 23rd (Northumbrian) Division article has been scheduled as today's featured article for January 29, 2020. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/January 29, 2020, but note that I've tweaked the suggested blurb to get it to around 1000 characters and fix a couple of typos anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.
We suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:07, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for the article about the Division, "which was raised during the Second World War. This was a second-line formation that was sent to France, during 1940, to provide unskilled labour for rear-area duties and it was promised that they would not to see combat. Once the Germans broke through the Ardennes and crossed the Meuse, the unprepared division was thrown onto the frontline and subsequently mauled. Evacuated at Dunkirk, it returned to the UK where it was broken up as part of a restructuring of the British Army."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:28, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

- Dear EnigmaMcmxc, I'm sorry for being so late in getting back to you, so please accept my sincere apologies. I was little overwhelmed at the time with various troubles. Sadly the library removed Galbraith's memoirs from the shelves, so I was not able to get the precise quote. But Galbraith in his 1975 book Money whence it came where it went does indicate, albeit in a rather guarded sort of way indicated the principle problem with reparations was political, not economic, which might bring in for the article. You are the only editor other myself who is aware of the distinction between the A, B, and C bonds, which is a matter that other hands seemed to have trouble accepting. One of the problems around here-the most popular explanation, if even it is wrong, is the one that makes in while the unpopular explanation, even if it is true does not. Best wishes for the New Year!--A.S. Brown (talk) 04:20, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

apropos WP:BOLD and WP:MOS (Stab-in-the-back myth)
Have you read This is also done at the first occurrence of a term (commonly a synonym in the lead) that redirects to the article or one of its subsections, whether the term appears in the lead or not.
(MOS:BOLD) and Normally, we try to make sure that all "inbound redirects" other than misspellings or other obvious close variants of the article title are mentioned in the first couple of paragraphs of the article or section to which the redirect goes. It will often be appropriate to bold the redirected term.

55th (West Lancashire) Division
Hello:
The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article 55th (West Lancashire) Division has been completed.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
I would have capitalised "Division", as Coop does in the quote in the Cambrai Counterattack section, throughout the article on the basis that it is a shortened version of 55th Division and refers to a specific entity. I did not do this as I suspect it requires consensus. This can easily be done if that is the outcome.
Best of luck with the article moving forward.
