Talk:Recovery of John-117

Title
I'd go with something along the line of "Battle" or "Skirmish" in Tanzania.TheEld (talk) 15:56, 24 February 2019 (EST)TheEld


 * I'm intending to do an overhaul of this article but I would like a consensus on re-naming the article it that is possible. I don't like "Raid on Kilimanjaro" for the same reasons given in the "rename" template. I would gladly go with "Recovery of John-117" or even "Skirmish in Tanzania" as suggested by TheEld. Any thoughts? - ArcticGhostXCV (talk) 23:20, February 9, 2020 (EST)


 * Any title is fine but battle. It's too small to be a battle.Editorguy (talk) 23:30, February 9, 2020 (EST)


 * That's my line of thought too. I'm leaning more towards "Recovery of John-117". And yep definitely too small to be classed as a full-blown battle. - ArcticGhostXCV (talk) 23:38, February 9, 2020 (EST)


 * Something like Battle of Kenya may be more suitable, to allow us to also include the attack on crow's nest. Otherwise, Recovery of John-117 is my bet. BaconShelf (talk) 05:51, February 10, 2020 (EST)


 * Perhaps a page that covers the events of Sierra 117 up to Tsavo Highway? I'm interested in fleshing them out but sure about having pages for each level ie "Recovery of John-117", "Attack on Crows Nest" and "Battle of Tsavo Highway". Or maybe a lengthier "Battle of Kenya" for all of them and keeping events of The Storm and Floodgate to the "Battle of Voi" page? I feel if they're fleshed out enough they could justify their own pages but in that case, good thing we have the templates for the major engagements now :P - ArcticGhostXCV (talk) 07:05, February 10, 2020 (EST)

[Reset indent] Yeah, Sierra 117, Crow's Nest and Tsavo Highway would all fit comfortably in a Battle of Kenya page, with the Battle of Voi given its own page to cover the events of The Storm and Floodgate. The events at Voi are certainly distinct enough to warrant their own page. When it comes to the Battle of Kenya, I'd recommend looking at how Landing on Installation 04 is structured. Notably, how it's linked to on the Battle of Installation 04 page (and associated engagements template). Keep John-117's recovery, the assault on Crow's Nest and survivor regrouping as sections and they can just be directly linked to from other pages where needed (like the Installation 04 Alpha Base/ Survivor etc sections).

 * Thanks for the input Bacon. I'm going to look into it over the course of the next few days and hope to get a Battle of Kenya page started, work permitting - ArcticGhostXCV (talk) 15:54, February 10, 2020 (EST)
