replies: text: Looks OK to me - I've slightly reworded part of the first para on the November raid but the rest looked absolutely fine. I substituted "Luftflotte 3" for "Third Air Fleet" since all the stuff I've ever read on the Battle of Britain uses the German terms. Brickie 17:24, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

message: "In one night, more than 4,000 homes in Coventry were destroyed, along with around three quarters of the city's factories."
Then a couple of paragraphs later is:
"The raid destroyed or damaged about 60,000 buildings..."
60,000 seems very high. Even if you take the number of homes destroyed up to 5,000 then that still leaves 55,000 buildings that weren't homes. What were they? 
Is the 60,000 supposed to be 6,000? Or is the 4,000 is supposed to be 40,000?
Perhaps it would be better to say 'half the homes were destroyed'. It's not a figure, but it's the way it's quantified in the BBC Documentary "Blitz: The Bombing of Coventry". It also says that one third of the factories were destroyed, which would make the part of this article which currently "...around three quarters of the city's factories" wrong. The same BBC documentary does say that three quarters of the buildings in the city centre were destroyed, but that's not at all the same as three quarters of the factories.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.20.66.20 (talk) 18:25, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

message: The article's title is currently "Coventry Blitz".  The lead sentence refers to "Coventry blitz" with a lower-case B.  They should agree one way or the other. --69.159.9.219 (talk) 05:30, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
