First Comments[edit]

Overall, I think this article does a good job of summarizing what happened at Vevi. It is readable and easy to understand, and informative. However, there are some flaws:

German forces invaded Greece through Bulgaria and Yugoslavia in the first week of April 1941. It was intended that British Commonwealth forces would hold the Germans in northern Greece, until Greek forces had returned from Yugoslavia and Albania, and a new defensive line between Mount Olympus and the Aliakmon River had been prepared of a .

The opening paragraph does not finish what it was going to say. "Aliakmon River had been prepared of a." Of a what?

The Allies decided to delay the German advance in the rugged terrain south of Vevi, including the heights of the Klidi (or Klidhi) Pass, a short distance from the town, where the Monastir Valley narrows to between 100 and 500 metres and follows "...a winding course through a defile flanked by steep rock-strewn hills with few trees."

Who is quoted as saying this and why are his words important?

The following line does not sound very encyclopedic. Maybe think of a better phrase that "last straw." The arrival of German tanks at 5.30 pm was the last straw for the Allies.

The final sentence in the article maybe should be merged in with the final paragraph.

Overall however, this is an informative article and some of the material here can be added to the Battle of Greece article. These are my comments. Hope they help. Periklis* 19:58, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling[edit]

'Klidi' is also spelt 'Kleidi'; indeed, the map half way down the article that begins "The dispositions...' shows 'Kleidi' and yet in most of this offering 'Klidi' appears - so which is right, or can it be written either way?
