This makes absolutely no sense. If Japan didn't participate in that battle, who was the battle against? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.168.6.222 (talk) 17:29, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

No battle infobox needed

Since this wasn't a battle since only one force was present, the battle infobox isn't needed. Instead, the generic military event infobox should be used. I'll replace it when I get a chance. The Japanese occupation of Kiska and the associated air campaign and naval blockade are addressed in a different article. Cla68 (talk) 08:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Done. Cla68 (talk) 12:53, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Numbers wrong

Some numbers must be incorrect, e.g. there's no agreement on how many were killed aboard the destroyer. Even in the first two pages of google results you can find three figures: 61, 70 or 71. Other numbers are not conclusive as well, some say over 200 total casualties, some say 313. As for the friendly fire losses, the number was taken apparently from http://www.hlswilliwaw.com/aleutians/kiska-homepage.htm however some other sources claim that the number was 25.

US and Canadian landing points

Why does the article say that US and Canadian forces landed on opposite sides of the island but the map shows them landing on the same side? There is also an arrow pointing into Gertrude Cove with no formation label attached to it. Spinning Spark 16:12, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Also, the numbers in the article and the numbers in the infobox are wildly disparate. what's the deal? Ballchef (talk) 04:24, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Japanese tactical victory?

Why is it considered a Japanese victory when they lost the island?
