Comments

Its looking really good.

No diasamb links needing attention

The tool checked and external links are all ok

Suggestion only consider writing numbers under 100 in full, I believe it reads better when using numbers to identify equipment - 56 A6M5 Zero fighters evaded the USAAF combat air patrol (CAP) of 16 P-38 Lightnings. - fifty-six A6M5 Zeros and sixteen P-38 etc

I think that the normal convention is to use numbers for everything over about ten except for where it looks silly or is confusing. I think that I'll leave the numbers as-is here.

U.S. Navy and U.S. Army are easy to understand but USAAF RAAF USMC APDs LCTs LCMs need to be linked

Done

In the landings section in the mid afternoon of Z-Day but there is no prior explanation of what Z-Day is

Removed

Citation 64 needs an access date

Added

In the bibliography some publications are linked to on line sites, where the book is available on line. However

Drea, Edward J. is a dead link

Fixed

Rottman, Gordon (2002). World War II Pacific Island Guide. A Geo-Military Study is the only one linked to Google books

Link removed.

Only some of them have access dates

All added

Barbey, Daniel E. (1969) could have the OCLC number added I presume it was published before ISBNs were issued

OCLCs added for all books without ISBNs.

On hold

I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.
