B class criteria. Anything higher needs several reviewers. I did https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Messines_(1917) Messines 1917 to A class but have shunned it since because I intended to move lots of Great War articles to B class then polish them. Another reason for sticking to B class was the excruciating embarrassment of contradicting a US English teacher, who put back all the literary solecisms that I'd taken out. My 1978 English Language O level isn't much but I try to abide by its standards.

I've got a few quid to spare and am toying with the idea of subscribing to a journal on the Great War; which would you recommend? Regards

Is that a no? ;O)
I'm on a fortnight off and intended to get lots done but I have gout instead. My membership of the working class is in doubt.

Well, I've sorted the gout and a cold out and am now in 12 weeks' quarantine so should get quite a bit done for a change. I've been copy editing my draft for the First Offensive Battle of Verdun and am contemplating moving the attack on Fort Douaumont, 22–24 May to a separate article.

Been expanding and revising the war at sea sections with newer sources. Didn't realise that the RNZN was formed in late 1941. The OH NZN is rather good on BN-BS convoy details but sparse on the ones not accompanied by Leander....

Added some material on Red Sea convoys for context. Toyed with revising the article to a general one on RS convoys but there aren't enough sources. Unless you know better?

promoted from B to good article after the work of divers hands, not much from me though because the trapped nerve in my neck has flared up again. Ouch!

Re: Poelcappelle 9 Oct 17
Does anyone have a source listing RAF Fighter Command Ramrod operations? I was looking in the Polish Air Force OH I and in mid 1943, the Ramrod numbers mentioned are in the 60s.... Could Ramrod 16 actually be 61?
