Map size
[edit]@Factotem: The map is good, but I think that "upright=1.7" is a bit large. It takes up half my screen. Gog the Mild (talk) 21:38, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
- Takes up about a sixth on mine. I'm not too keen on leaving it at the default thumb size because the text becomes illegible, but feel free to amend it as you see fit. Factotem (talk) 21:49, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
@Factotem: [1] might have something for this subject. Keith-264 (talk) 22:13, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks. I searched the site for a few terms I know in German relating to plans for the invasion of England (the name those pesky Germans seem to insist on using when they mean the UK) or operations against Antwerp, but nothing came up. Factotem (talk) 17:29, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

I'll start this in a few days, but initial read through looks good. Made a couple of tweaks here--there was an incomplete sentence in invasion literature section. also reworked verbs to there was less passive voice. Ping me when you've had a chance to look it over. Haven't seen much on Erskine Childers or Le Queux recently. :) Cheers, auntieruth (talk) 15:24, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
- I recast your edit on Goltz's invasion idea. I think it's a bit much to call it a plan, and I'm anxious to make it clear that the invasion novel came some 2 to 3 years after his suggestion was shelved. Hope that's OK. Factotem (talk) 15:44, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

Addition of infobox
[edit]Per WP:BRD, I've reverted this edit, which placed an infobox in the lead. I'm ambivalent about the infoboxes generally, but this edit was dubious. There was no actual conflict, so the use of the military conflict infobox is questionable. It was titled as the "Imperial German invasion of the United Kingdom", when there was barely any plans for such an invasion, let alone an actual attempt. It listed British commanders and leaders that are nowhere mentioned in the article. And it listed strengths that were considered but never actually allocated to an invasion. Happy to discuss.
