message: As an American historian of Japan, I am surprised to realize I do not know about this at all - can anyone point me to information (on Wikipedia or elsewhere) about US-UK involvement in Korea during 1941-45? We read so much about the island-hopping campaigns, the battles in SE Asia, the war in China, the bombing of Japan, and the Soviet invasion of Manchuria, but where is Korea in all of this? Were there not Allied battles to liberate Korea? Any help you can offer would be most appreciated. Cheers, LordAmeth 12:13, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There wasn't any, if I recall correctly.  The only major invasion of Korea during the war itself was part of Operation August Storm; substantial US troops didn't arrive in the southern portion of the penninsula until after the main Japanese surrender.

message: Please look at the "World War II" section in the History of Liberia.  I've been working on this article quite a bit and, frankly, I had no idea when I started that Liberia had played such a strategic role in the Allied effort in WWII.  This section has gotten quite long and, since the entire article is also quite long (>70kb), I'm thinking that this section might be spun off as a subsidiary article.  I'm trying to figure out what the title of the article would be.  My current thinking is something like Liberia's role in World War II.  However, I figured I'd ask here first in case there is a convention for naming articles of this type.

replies: text: I think the section just needs to be cleaned up and condensed, something that can happen without losing any information. It's very choppy and almost list like now, with some copy editing it would flow alot better and not stickout so much. This way the parent article is improved and we don't have to create what might very well just end up as a perma-stub. Also, I don't know if there is enough information there to really warrant an additional, dedicated page. If there is some other material that I'm not aware of or you have plans on really expanding the section with the creation of an article though that might be a different story.

replies: text: Thanks.  I think there is enough material to warrant a separate article.  I have started the article here.  I'm sure there's more to add but I don't know enough to provide it myself.  Hopefully others can help.  That's the power of Wikipedia. --Richard 08:00, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Hello.  I'm wondering if the Greco-Italian War should be considered part of World War II.  The Germans never declared war on Greece (unlike Yugoslavia) and had no hostilities with them until the following April (when the Battle of Greece began).  The Allies didn't support the Greeks either until around the same time. Oberiko 19:56, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I believe several of the world war 2 campaign boxes are flawed.
Western Europe '44-'45 Campaignbox  This has less information than the campaign box on the Western Front in general. So it renders it moot. Not to mention it omits things like Market Garden. It needs a serious rework.
:The Western Front was not a location, not one continuous campaign, whereas the operations in 44-45 were.  The campaign box above is a break-down of the 44-45 campaign, everything that happened should fall into one of those stages (including Market Garden, which is in the Siegfried Line campaign).

message: I have just begun discussion towards possibly moving the article Occupied Japan to another of several options of titles which include the word "Occupation." Everyone has different ideas and impressions based on what they've read and heard, but it is my experience that terms such as "the Occupation", "the Occupation of Japan", "the American Occupation" and "the Japanese Occupation" are far more common than "Occupied Japan" to describe this period.

message: As "the use of the term fascism in relation to Japan is contentious and disputed" (quoted from Japanese fascism), I don't think it's necessarily appropriate to label any and every Japanese involved in the government or military at the time - even the most high-up officials - a "fascist".

message: right
I'd like to propose the following structure for our dealings with Asia in World War II:
* Asian Theatre of World War II should contain everything from July 1937 - August 1945
* Pacific War should be a subset of the ATWW2 and contain everything from December 7/8 - August 1945
* Second Sino-Japanese War should be considered a sub-theatre of the Asian Theatre of World War II, only focusing on operations involving both China and Japan in China.

message: As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Conflicts, battles and military exercises" articles and just reviewed Battle of Britain. I believe the article currently meets the majority of the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues considering sourcing that should be addressed, and I'll leave the article on hold for seven days for them to be fixed. I am leaving this message at this task force, along with the other relevant task forces to the article, since the article falls under this topic and figured you might be interested in helping to improve the article further.  The article needs some more inline citations, and if added, I'll pass the article.
