Minor edit

I've changed the name of one of the combatants to Germany. It's been pointed out on another page that "Nazi Germany" never existed as an official name. Which seems fair enough. Xyl 54 15:46, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Participants

Shouldn't the article mention all the ships that participated, such as the Empire Galahad? Mjroots (talk) 19:07, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good point:

I was thinking about some tables but was a bit daunted by there being over 100 ships, and about 40 U-boats involved. I compromised with some links to convoyweb and u-boat.net, which do have lists, but I’m open to suggestions.

What do you think?

Big lists aren't a problem. See List of windmills in Kent, which has something like 450 entries! Mjroots (talk) 14:32, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And here was me trying to save meself a bit of work!

OK, I've got the information on the vessels involved, so I'll turn it into a list over the next week or so (I've got some stuff to finish first) Xyl 54 (talk) 11:44, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move

This page was moved recently; I’ve moved it back to the former title, which is a British English format. See discussion here on the subject. Xyl 54 (talk) 13:24, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve moved this now to the format suggested at the MilHist discussion on naming convoys. Xyl 54 (talk) 11:23, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article is written in British English on the basis of strong national ties to the topic.
And it is the variety chosen by the first major contributor to the article.

Infobox

The infobox details here have been swapped from one side to the other; can anyone say why this has been done, as it's at variance now with a number of the other convoy articles (eg HX 72, HX 79, HX 84, etc). Xyl 54 (talk) 11:14, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
