Named for one of Dudley Clarke's code names, Op. Galveston is my project to significantly expand the coverage of Military Deception, mostly Allied deception during World War 2. Much of the information relating to this topic was classified to the 1970s, and so source material has been very slow to emerge.
In mid 2012 most of the content was at start class, as of December 2012 1 featured and 1 good article has been added, along with a large number of new and greatly expanded articles. I achieved around 50% of my 2012 targets, so renewed my aims for 2013. That year didn't work out quite a well - but in 2015 I found some new inspiration which has led to several new articles of Featured, A and GA standard. My current goals are to hit 75 "achievements" as listed below, with an overall aim of achieving Operation Bodyguard as a good topic. I've totally nailed the Good and Featured Article goal (to hit a good topic I'll need another 5 Good Articles... so 160% of the goal - such a well planned goal right?). DYK and images are lookjng to be a stretch...
