I don't see anything in the article about "best case". EEng (talk) 07:53, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Fair enough, removed. Maury Markowitz (talk) 21:10, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something. I've further modified by changing would to could since, obviously, there are many difference war scenarios. Hope that's OK as well. EEng (talk) 23:35, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:31, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

This very comprehensive article is new enough and long enough. The hook fact is in a quote sourced to a book and is accepted in good faith. The image is in the public domain. The article is neutral but I made no attempt to assess whether there were any policy issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:40, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
