message: Can someone with the know-how sort out the spelling of harbour so that it always 'harbour' in this article, and not 'harbor'. Basically I'm seeing inconsistancies and I don't know how to fix them 80.6.39.192 17:37, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: From a quick look it seems to me that the only references to "harbor" appear in relation to Stanford's book: as Stanford is an American he has used the correct American spelling viz "harbor" Dormskirk 18:47, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The book by Guy Hartcup has a list of who built what & how many phoenix units and were along with the consultants and several of the firms listed are not involved (they may have taken over firms involved but that should be stated), as well as several firms not listed (credited). The materials summary list is interesting as well,  with over 1/2 million cu yds of concrete, and 30,000 tons of rebar and 45,000 men being examples.  (I have to see when i can get back to fix it, as a few others in the Q) - BulldozerD11 (talk) 23:57, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably the best thing would be for you to list the firms from the book, and then by a process of elimination we can work out where the rest fit in to the story. Nick Cooper (talk) 17:51, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

message: I've just made some edits to correct information about the COPP reconnaissance that was included here. But the whole paragraph (which I've now put in brackets, as really it's not relevant to the Mulberry harbours beyond the 712th Survey Flotilla acting as 'taxi') could potentially be cut?
