Talk:Landkreuzer P. 1500 Monster

Improve this

The reason the article isn't interesting is because the whole thing just describes the specifications of the thing, and problems designing it. Where's the human element? How can we connect to it? Some sort of citable anecdote that emphasises the machine's relevance as a tool in human and societal interaction, as opposed to just a design - because at the moment the article is little more than a glorified and over-padded specifications sheet. I envision a future for this article; a front page feature. There is so much potential here, but so little of it is being used. C'mon, let's show those other superheavy tank articles who's boss!

I would say the reason the article isn't interesting is that it's buehlchit. This "tank" was a myth, an urban legend, and that isn't even alluded to in the text. At least when Wiki does an article on Bigfoot/Sasquatch, the article says it'd almost certainly a hoax.173.62.11.59 (talk) 13:32, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Picture

This article needs one. 84.231.221.184 21:11, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Picture Removed. The picture used was an artist's rendering of the P. 1000 Ratte from Zack Parsons' book My Tank is Fight!MathewGSmith (talk) 19:11, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Well I'm not sure if that Picture will do it first its still the wrong tank second its from Zack parsons ^ look above. A rendering of the right tank is needed. Ill provide a link to a Drawing of it but its copy righted so some one might have to do their own rendering of it.(deleting image)http://strangevehicles.greyfalcon.us/picturesm/monster2.gif --XChile (talk) 20:31, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Wrong picture still. Picture removed.

This is still not the picture of the P. 1500 Monster, and is 'Copyright C 2006 Zack Parsons' Also the book 'My Tank Is Fight' has a disclamer at the front of the book saying "All rights reserved. No part of this book may be reproduced in any form by any means withour the prior written consent of the publisher, exepting brief quotes used in reviews". The publisher is 'Kensington Publishing Corp'. The picture itself has been drawn by Josh Hass. I am removing the picture however, their is an adequate picture in the book 'My Tank is Fight' so if someone wrote to the publisher then possibly that picture could be used. --Muzlie (talk) 02:56, 14 June 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Muzlie (talk • contribs) 02:49, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Sources please

Dear wikipedians, there are still no sources whatsoever supporting the information in this article, not even cross-referencing to the similar articles in other language Wikipedias. Can anyone please provide verifiable sources? Thanks, DPdH (talk) 11:34, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

This. Where is ANY source? That Hitler wanted a super-heavy tank with the 80cm, I can readily believe. But where does the suggestions of armor, propulsion, secondary armament come from?31.208.103.192 (talk) 12:42, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Fake article.

Okay, this is KV-6 "Stalin's Orchestra"( http://ru.warriors.wikia.com/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%92-6_%D0%91%D0%B5%D0%B3%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%BE%D1%82 ) level of mistification. Can somebody please be conscious and delete this blasphemy(or if someone wants it to exist, provide all needed sources) 178.121.248.252 (talk) 21:07, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for coming to the talk page to discuss things instead of blanking the page. I've added reference tags to encourage discussion. It may be necessary to nominate this page for deletion as I'm having a hard time finding any real sources for this this. PureRED (talk) 21:22, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

As far as I know other language versions also reference same source that has neither of the needed sources for P1500 or reference english article. Thanks for responding. 178.121.248.252 (talk) 21:32, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Too many issues on august 2017.

There started 4 bad issues in the article at august 2017.

. There could have been a various edit from an unknown user

. The creator messed up something and caused all these problems. Oh and there is an early issue from 2010, too. Put your answer here below. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.60.116.143 (talk) 21:46, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Überschwere Panzerprojekte

I am unsure as to why the book Überschwere Panzerprojekte from Michael Fröhlich is cited as a source, as it does not discuss any design named the P.1500. The P-100 is discussed in detail, as are various other planned machines, including an armored mortar with a caliber of 80cm, but the only mention of anything particularly similar to the 'P.1500' is as follows: "Es entstanden in der heutigen Zeit einige Fantasie-Zeichnungen, die nichts mit der Realität zu tun haben. Das Geschütz Dora besaß eine Rohrlänge von 32.480mm, was der Kaliberlänge von L/40 entsprach, der 80-cm-Panzermörser hatte dagegen eine Rohrlänge von 10.850mm." Translated as follows: "There have been in modern times some fantasy drawings, that have nothing to do with reality. The gun Dora had a barrel length of 32,480mm, which results in a length of 40 calibers, whereas the 80cm armored mortar had a barrel length of 10,850mm." It might be worth adding a section discussing the armored mortar as a potential origin of the fantastical P.1500.
