Misleading headnote edit

Its not clear to which of the following issues the "misleading" headnote applies. Why was it added? 64.134.60.178 (talk) 19:39, 28 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Issues corrected. --Afernand74 (talk) 10:36, 7 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Caption with wrong naming edit

For my mind the caption text is wrong as the sketch shows the Maisoncelle site and not one of the Maison-Ponthieu sites.-- Хрюша 10:11, 11 March 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriusha (talkcontribs) Reply

It was wrong to write “for my mind” but please read the information text in the file V-1 1944 - Typical Ski Site.jpg which indicates clearly Maisoncelle and compare the two V-1 sites in Google Earth or Google Maps. The Maison-Ponthieu site is far from looking similar to the sketch but the Maisoncelle site does. Compare also this approximated perspective view from GE with the sketch. -- Хрюша 12:06, 9 April 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriusha (talkcontribs) Reply

Link-update as the link above is no more active. --Хрюша 08:38, 7 June 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriusha (talkcontribs)
@Chriusha: I spent some time reworking the article and finding/linking/correcting references. I also confirmed the link with Maisoncelle based on the information you provided. Still looking for a reference to a book/journal to definitely close any future discussion. --Afernand74 (talk) 13:31, 7 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Afernand74: Thanks a lot for clarifying a lot of inconsistencies in this article! Unfortunately I don’t know another primary source than the air views in géoportail from 1947 showing that both sites at Maison-Ponthieu have a clearly different appearance than the Maisoncelle site. Direct Links to the cited air views: Maison-Ponthieu village (no approved number) and Maison-Ponthieu (FSt 656, Bois de Roche). Both selections from 1947 allowing a clear identification of the sites. Hoping it helps.
Concerning secondary sources: After the battle issue 6 from 1974 is not without doubt. The cited «six sites» on page 3 ask also for correction. Original text «[…] stating that some sort of new constructions were being carried out in six places: Bonnetot le Faubourg, Auffray, Totes, Ribeaucourt, Maison Ponthieu and Bois Carre.». Bonnetot le Faubourg (site 695) IS Tôtes, there is not another site nearby. Auffray → at or close to Auffay itself no sites, it is just in context with Hollard’s story. Next site to Auffay is Château de Bosmelet (site 690). Maison-Ponthieu → approved. Ribeaucourt was a just started simplified and not detected site (144, Ersatzstellung)! Bois Carré → approved.
But of course it must be seen in context of the knowledge 46 years ago! --Хрюша 14:48, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Maison-Ponthieu ←→ Maisoncelle edit

By this edit an IP reverted my correction of the wrong naming of the Maisoncelle sketch. I have not the intention to correct a second time or starting an edit war. May somebody else do so. The en:WP seems to be very strict to ask citation. Why in this case citation has been ignored? -- Хрюша 12:00, 29 June 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriusha (talkcontribs)

Corrected. --Alberto Fernandez Fernandez (talk) 16:04, 8 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

→ There is still a remark in the article that verification about Maisoncelle as the shown site in the sketch has failed. Maybe this comparison makes the situation clear enough for en:WP! The delivery storage (A) may be seen here. Both V-1 sites at Maison Ponthieu have a completely different appearance, which may be verified by any person knowing the locations of those sites.
Zaloga as source is sometimes doubtable – own experience! And for me also citation 3 is doubtable as in After the battle number 6 (ISSN 0306-154X) on page 6 is only a remark about the site at Maison Ponthieu, but in no context with the here discussed drawing! And the shown air view on the same page 6 shows nothing comparable with the drawing. --Хрюша 08:07, 2 June 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriusha (talkcontribs)

Moved info on Maison Ponthieu to notes--Afernand74 (talk) 10:36, 7 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
After the battle number 6 only mentions Maison Ponthieu and Croisette as being discovered by Hollard. There is no discussion of the drawing of Maisoncelle. I consequently removed the ref in the article. --Afernand74 (talk) 11:20, 14 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Paragraph about Agir members edit

Also information about Hollard's caption is wrong. Hollard has been captured together with Henri Dujarier, Joseph Legendre and Jules Mailly. But Madeleine Boulanger, Lucien François and Robert Rubenach escaped the caption as they arrived some minutes late to the rendez-vous. → “Michel Hollard - Le Français qui a sauvé Londres”, pages 180, 181. Therefore the whole paragraph must be revised. -- Хрюша 08:09, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Another confirmation about this fact is now here. Is any of the article's authors interrested to correct all these wrong statements? Since months here is just silence. -- Хрюша 13:40, 25 November 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriusha (talkcontribs)

After Hollard's caption Agir was led by Joseph Legendre and Joseph Brocard alias “Bart”. Robert Rubenach has never been captured. Joseph Legendre and Henri Dujarier have been released after caption 5 February 1944. All facts according to the cited references! BTW: I'm the (main)author of the de:WP article - I read the there cited literature what I doubt anyone did with all the mixed up details here. -- Хрюша 14:34, 25 November 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriusha (talkcontribs)

Bonnetot le Faubourg … edit

… or Ferme de Bonnetot has nothing to do with the actual active links. See also → V-1 site 695. --Хрюша 16:29, 9 June 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriusha (talkcontribs)

Thanks. Corrected. --Afernand74 (talk) 11:05, 14 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
