Comments

1. British Commandos links to 2 different disambiguation pages (fix links):  Done--Diannaa ^(Talk) 22:56, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
   • Baltic
   • Tam O'Shanter
2. Combined ops and LG links are dead. LG should not be. :Fixed the Combined ops. The CVA had been redirected changed that so it now gos to the main site. What do you mean by LG ? --Jim Sweeney (talk) 06:38, 21 July 2010 (UTC) LG = London Gazette Hawkeye7 (talk) 13:36, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
3. The introduction claims that British Commandos served in the Pacific theatre of war. Where? It was for Hong Kong but have now changed it to South-East Asia  Done--Jim Sweeney (talk) 06:38, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
4. Under "Commando brigades", 3 Commando is listed as part of the 2nd Commando Brigade. I think you mean 2 Commando. :Yes must have read that 50 times or more  Done--Jim Sweeney (talk) 06:38, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
5. You correctly identify that the brigades contained 17 commandos, then list 16. Should mention No. 10 and how its troops were distributed among the brigades. Done --Jim Sweeney (talk) 07:15, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
6. Could the sentence on No. 10 Commando be expanded to mention its troops?  Done --Jim Sweeney (talk) 07:15, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
7. Suggest a section be created called "Organisation" consisting of "formation", "Commando units" and "Commando brigades", allowing "Training" and "weapons and equipment" to become separate sections. Done--Jim Sweeney (talk) 06:38, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
8. Do any refences mention decorations earned by the commandos? Did any of them receive the Victoria Cross other than at St Nazaire and Dieppe?  Done others added --Jim Sweeney (talk) 10:31, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
9. The operations section is problematic. It doesn't adequately summarise British Commando operations during the Second World War. I'd be quite happy for that article to be completely absorbed into this one. But if that is not on, then then this one is going to have to summarise all the British Commando operations of WWII, not just the most significant ones.  Done expanded to include Channel islands, Mediterranean and Burma --Jim Sweeney (talk) 10:31, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
10. That article puts the battle honours in the infobox, which this one has a section. I think the box looks better. Done--Diannaa ^(Talk) 23:09, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
11. Is it possible to obtain a pic of a green beret? This is causing a problem there are hundreds of back and white ones 9which defeats the object) others belong to other armies and or would not be PD --Jim Sweeney (talk) 10:31, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
12. In the legacy section, could you mention the commando memorial? (lift the intro paragraph from its article)  Done --Jim Sweeney (talk) 07:15, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
13. Hilary Saint George Saunders and Kenneth Macksey need authorlinks Done--Diannaa ^(Talk) 22:56, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
14. Any chance of getting the publication locations of the books? Done--Diannaa ^(Talk) 22:56, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
