First, this page desperately needs some grammatical clean up. I ran out of steam halfway through a preliminary overhaul. Second, I had a question about the claimed route taken by TFS (probably a result of the grammar):
  
The previous talk page has been archived because the page has changed substantially, with extensive reorganization and rewrites.

"Task Force Serpent went along a route that brought them near the [[Outworld Alliance]]. They went on with a route, parallel to those commonly used by the clans."
  
==Task Force Serpent vs. Operation SERPENT==

Did TFS start way out by the OA? If so, how/when did TFS end up on the path parallel to the common Clan route to the Inner Sphere? That's way over toward the Lyran/Kuritan/FRR space from the OA.
One of the previous discussions that's still applicable is the question of whether this article is (or should be) about a '''unit''' or an '''operation'''. [[Operation SERPENT]] currently redirects here, but should it? After trawling through the article in depth for some time, I'm a solid "maybe". "Task Force Serpent" seems to be the more commonly-used term, and often refers to the operation. The operation itself doesn't fit cleanly into the framework used for military engagements, as it took place over a long period of time and saw action against multiple opponents.  
 
  
I'm not in a hurry to split the article again to make the distinction, but I believe the idea has some merit. [[User:Tosta Dojen|Tosta Dojen]] ([[User talk:Tosta Dojen|talk]]) 08:37, 4 August 2020 (EDT)

Finally, is this entry really still a stub? --[[User:Cray|Cray]] 04:20, 11 February 2009 (PST)
