Article title problems

Article is not as comprehensive as title implies: List of memorials to the missing of World War One. It is in fact limited in type to the land casualties, limited in geography to the Western Front, and limited to the Commonwealth casualties (not including the US casualties, or French casualties, or of non-Commonwealth countries). 06:15, 26 December 2009 (UTC) It seems a better title (for a list) is to explicitly say this is CWGC (Commonwealth War Graves Commission) memorials to the missing in Belgium and France (i.e. the Western Front). This allows precise numbers from the CWGC statistics section to be used, as these are given by country location and by type (named graves, graves of unknown soldiers, or names on a memorial). So something like "List of CWGC World War One memorials to the missing in France and Belgium" - with CWGC possibly expanded or not (e.g. List of Commonwealth War Graves Commission World War One memorials to the missing in France and Belgium).

Comprehensiveness of list

Did a search from the CWGC public search interface for "memorial" when searching by cemetery, and got 308 results. All those listed as being in France and Belgium were examined and the World War One ones were listed here. Carcharoth (talk) 21:40, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Templates to use and map ideas

For CWGC details use {{cwgc cemetery}}. For geographic co-ordinates, use {{coord}}. When all co-ordinates gathered, try and get a map of the Western Front on which the location of the memorials can be placed, along with the battles mentioned. Carcharoth (talk) 00:57, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
