replies: text: FYI, the normal way of addressing this kind of thing is with a WP:Dummy edit with a corrected comment following the edit with the errant comment.  It's of little use to attempt this on talk, as talk and edit history aren't viewed together.  --A D Monroe III(talk)  17:00, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

thread_title: [[ Operation Herbstreise]]

message: As far as I can tell Britain lost 11 ships, yet there is a claim the Luftwaffe sunk over 12. I think we need a quote for the source which says "over 12", as this seems counter to what everyone else says.Slatersteven (talk) 10:41, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Slatersteven is apparently of the opinion that unsupported statements made about the ineffectiveness of the Luftwaffe in the Channel, and including inaccurate figures for warship losses, should substitute for supported facts. See: Brown, David, Warship Losses of World War II, as cited in corrections to the Wiki. Willful ignorance of the facts, or revisionist agenda?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:1C0:4202:2EE0:A5A4:AB1:3C5B:94F1 (talk) 04:39, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Please do not jump to commenting on the editor, you're close to violating WP:No personal attacks.  Given Slatersteven's comments above, they seem to be open to re-evaluating the data, so there's no need to call them a "revisionist", which has very nasty implications.Can you provide the direct quote from the source you're citing that he's asking for?  It seems that would settle the dispute. Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:56, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

text: The section about the Channel losses seems to be sourced to Larew 1992, pp. 245–247. I have put a tag on the one claim that seems to be unsourced.Slatersteven (talk) 10:03, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

message: There are a few problems with the references in this article. In particular Murray 2002 and Bishop 2010 are used as short-form refs, but there are no entries in the bibliography for either book. I don't have the expertise to know what either of these works might be. Can anyone help? Bob1960evens (talk) 23:19, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Murray 2002 has a link to the webpage here.  I don't know what Bishop 2010 is. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:18, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

text: Could be Patrick Bishop The Battle of Britain , but don't quote me on that. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:25, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: From the link I found he is Williamson Murray, and the only book he wrote in 2002 appears to be "Strategy for Defeat the Luftwaffe 1933 - 1945". The kindle edition includes the quote for the first ref, although no page number, so I assume this is it. Bob1960evens (talk) 14:22, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I have also found "Luftwaffe Squadrons: 1939-45" by Chris Bishop (2010). Both books are available on Amazon, and have a Look Inside option, but the text is not searchable in either, so I do not know if they are likely candidates. Bob1960evens (talk) 14:39, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
