Hey there,

I used the image of the subplans of Operation Bodyguard, which you created, on an article I have improved. It was brought up during it's A-Class review that going forward to a possible FAC review, the lack of source information will probably be an issue. Would you be able to provide what source you used, in the summary section of the image file? Kind regards, EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 17:52, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

sure! I'll sort it out later. Remind me if I haven't done it within 48 hours :) --Errant (chat!) 17:54, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
Okay, thanks! EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 20:29, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
@EnigmaMcmxc: Having thought about it; an Appendix in Holt sufficiently covers all of the data - so I added that as a source. Well done on the A-Class. :) --Errant (chat!) 20:09, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
Thanks very much! EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 00:11, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
