@Keith-264: None of your subsequent edits after mine have actually been constructive. Why would you revert back to these images first of all? Big whoop Canadian war correspondent Ross Munro was there. I fail to see why his inclusion in this article is warranted at all, let alone why a photo of him in Italy, with a horrible out of place centered caption (this isn't a short-centered caption) has precedence over a photo taken during the actual operation itself.

Secondly, you refer to {{infobox military operation}}'s documentation. Why, I ask. While I think you might be referring to the outcome parameter, the template documentation doesn't state what you might think it states. But, I think I found a compromise.

Finally, how does a width of 300 stretch the infobox wider than the campaingbox? It looks fine to me. The template's max. width is 315, so an image width of 300 should not be a problem.

I usually like your contributions (and I definitely respect your overall work on Wikipedia), but this time I disagree. Jay D. Easy (talk) 13:22, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

@Keith-264: In case you hadn't noticed, I think I also found somewhat of a compromise regarding Ross Munro, by adding one his photos (PD) with proper attribution and linking in its caption. Take care. Jay D. Easy (talk) 21:05, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

I didn't start the article, I expanded it and I didn't put that photo in (or did I?). I didn't know that you had changed any images so if you want those back, be my guest, all I saw was that you had de-centred the captions. If you look at articles with 300px images in the info or whatever boxes, the campaignboxes are of lesser width (something to do with a recent change) and the recommendation was to reduce the px to 250 or so to narrow the info or whatever box to the same width as the campaign boxes. If the info and the campaignboxes are showing the same width on your screen, I suggest you mention this on the milhist talk page. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 23:00, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
