IFF is an important technology, it's what keeps jets from pilling into each other (<a href="/wiki/2002_%C3%9Cberlingen_mid-air_collision" title="2002 Überlingen mid-air collision">as long as the pilots listen to it</a>!), and this is the device that started it all. It underwent a MILHIST A-class a while back and I've been letting it stew for a while since.

I give up on trying to understand MOS on italics, so I'll use quotes in these cases - in this case sector does not mean sector so I think that's worth noting. I changed all references to Battle of Britain. The second statement in the note is referenced in the main body. Mark I and Mark II are almost identical, so they are both covered in this article; cf. ASV Mark II and AI Mark IV. I've never quite decided if I like the compound articles, but can't convince myself separating them out helps anything. In contrast, Mark III is a very different device.

Don't hesitate to let me know any concerns with my copyedit; aside from that: </p> <ul><li>"The system was much more likely to work than the Mark I because the pilot could not forget to tune it" -- do we mean that it generally didn't require tuning so that as a rule the pilot didn't need to remember? As written it sounds more like some alarm that'd go off ensuring he tuned it...</li></ul> <dl><dd><dl><dd>Well it would, if by "alarm" you mean "AA exploding around you". I've re-worded this section.</dd></dl></dd></dl> <ul><li>"Even when IFF was available, its general unreliability made it difficult for controllers to trust it" -- this kind of pulled me up short because up to that point the impression I'd received from the Mark II subsection was that this was a useful system but "general unreliability" seems to say otherwise. Did I miss something?</li></ul> <dl><dd><dl><dd>The timeline I think - this is referring to the BOB period when the unreliable Mark I was in (some) use. I've touched it up to make it more obvious.</dd></dl></dd></dl> <ul><li>Regarding content as opposed to to prose, my first comment is that I was somewhat surprised to find such a succinct article on the subject. I think it provides a good overview but I wonder if there's room for more detail in places, for instance:</li></ul> <dl><dd><ul><li>Where there any notable cases where the system was used but failed somehow and Allied fighters attacked friendly aircraft? I don't mean like Barking Creek where it wasn't used at all...</li></ul> <dl><dd><ul><li>I suspect hundreds - even in Korea IFF was considered suspect to the point they ended up assuming all aircraft were friendly. But this is more about IFF in general than Mark II specifically, I'm not aware of any Mark II specific incidences. Closterman's famous example was Mark III. I think that's simply because Mark II wasn't in service for that long.</li></ul></dd></dl> <ul><li>Aside from infiltrating Allied bomber formations, did the Germans have any other methods for spoiling the system? For instance did they ever try duplicating it (perhaps using captured Allied planes as a starting point)?</li></ul> <dl><dd><ul><li>Yes, but again, not for Mark II. They did have one for Mark III (and IIRC, the Japanese had it too) but I'm not sure of its operational experience. <a href="/wiki/User:Maury_Markowitz" title="User:Maury Markowitz">Maury Markowitz</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Maury_Markowitz" title="User talk:Maury Markowitz">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/IFF_Mark_II/archive1#c-Maury_Markowitz-2019-03-05T16:46:00.000Z-Comments_from_Ian" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">16:46, 5 March 2019 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Maury_Markowitz-2019-03-05T16:46:00.000Z-Comments_from_Ian"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-03-05T16:46:00.000Z","author":"Maury Markowitz","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Maury_Markowitz-2019-03-05T16:46:00.000Z-Comments_from_Ian","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Maury_Markowitz-2019-03-05T16:46:00.000Z-Comments_from_Ian"></span></li></ul></dd></dl></dd></dl> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Ian_Rose-2019-03-05T12:18:00.000Z-Comments_from_Ian"></span>That's all I have for now.

You have chosen "website= Imperial War Museum", but the IWM is not a website, it's the organisation that publishes the website, the address of which is www.iwm.org.uk. So you could use "publisher= Imperial War Museum" or "website= www.iwm.org.uk". Either would be correct, though my personal preference is for publisher=. which is more informative. <a href="/wiki/User:Brianboulton" title="User:Brianboulton">Brianboulton</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Brianboulton" title="User talk:Brianboulton">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/IFF_Mark_II/archive1#c-Brianboulton-2019-03-16T15:29:00.000Z-Maury_Markowitz-2019-03-14T19:45:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">15:29, 16 March 2019 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Brianboulton-2019-03-16T15:29:00.000Z-Maury_Markowitz-2019-03-14T19:45:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-03-16T15:29:00.000Z","author":"Brianboulton","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Brianboulton-2019-03-16T15:29:00.000Z-Maury_Markowitz-2019-03-14T19:45:00.000Z","replies":["c-Laser_brain-2019-03-18T15:29:00.000Z-Brianboulton-2019-03-16T15:29:00.000Z"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Brianboulton-2019-03-16T15:29:00.000Z-Maury_Markowitz-2019-03-14T19:45:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span class="template-ping"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Laser_brain-2019-03-18T15:29:00.000Z-Brianboulton-2019-03-16T15:29:00.000Z"></span>@<a href="/wiki/User:Maury_Markowitz" title="User:Maury Markowitz">Maury Markowitz</a>:</span> Doing a walk-through to assess readiness for promotion and I've taken the liberty of fixing this. --<a href="/wiki/User:Laser_brain" title="User:Laser brain"><span style="color: purple;"><b>Laser brain</b></span></a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Laser_brain" title="User talk:Laser brain"><span style="color: purple;">(talk)</span></a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/IFF_Mark_II/archive1#c-Laser_brain-2019-03-18T15:29:00.000Z-Brianboulton-2019-03-16T15:29:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">15:29, 18 March 2019 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Laser_brain-2019-03-18T15:29:00.000Z-Brianboulton-2019-03-16T15:29:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-03-18T15:29:00.000Z","author":"Laser brain","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Laser_brain-2019-03-18T15:29:00.000Z-Brianboulton-2019-03-16T15:29:00.000Z","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Laser_brain-2019-03-18T15:29:00.000Z-Brianboulton-2019-03-16T15:29:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Brianboulton-2019-03-13T20:39:00.000Z-Sources_review"></span>Subject to the minor issues raised above, the sources appear to meet the required criteria for quality and reliability and are consistently presented. <a href="/wiki/User:Brianboulton" title="User:Brianboulton">Brianboulton</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Brianboulton" title="User talk:Brianboulton">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/IFF_Mark_II/archive1#c-Brianboulton-2019-03-13T20:39:00.000Z-Sources_review" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:39, 13 March 2019 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Brianboulton-2019-03-13T20:39:00.000Z-Sources_review"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-03-13T20:39:00.000Z","author":"Brianboulton","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Brianboulton-2019-03-13T20:39:00.000Z-Sources_review","replies":["c-Laser_brain-2019-03-18T15:35:00.000Z-Brianboulton-2019-03-13T20:39:00.000Z"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Brianboulton-2019-03-13T20:39:00.000Z-Sources_review"></span> </p> <ul><li><b><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Laser_brain-2019-03-18T15:35:00.000Z-Brianboulton-2019-03-13T20:39:00.000Z"></span>Closing note</b>: This <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates" title="Wikipedia:Featured article candidates">candidate</a> has been promoted, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close.
