Template:WikiProject Tanks

Kilomiets vs Kolomiets

Noticed these two names in references section. Two different persons or the same person with his name written wrong in one case? Kyng (talk) 11:45, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is a misprint. Of course, the person is the same - Russian tank historian Maxim Kolomiets. I've corrected this in the main text already Vladimir Historian (talk) 07:38, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

FAR needed

This article has large swaths of uncited text (to name only one of the problems) and needs to be submitted to WP:FAR (allowing the necessary number of days after TFA). Most of the uncited text was not present in the promoted version, so a good deal of the content in this article now was not vetted at WP:FAC. It is unlikely this amount of new material can be brought to standard easily, so I will initiate a FAR next week unless there are some dramatic changes in here. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:24, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly. I'm actually surprised that it was able to make TFA with so many obvious issues. Better sourced and written articles have been demoted on lesser concerns, yet this somehow made the main page. TFA needs to evaluate this case to prevent it from repeating itself. - Caribbean~H.Q. 07:02, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Excessive markup

Vladimir Historian please review WP:SHOUT and avoid filling the talk page with excessive markup like bolding. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:22, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, but bolding is necessary sometimes to highlight key phrases supporting the correct and reliable information, for instance. Regards, --Vladimir Historian (talk) 21:28, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Such needs are exceedingly rare; most folks who can edit Wikipedia can also read. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:10, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not exceedingly rare as they are mentioned in WP:SHOUT ;) Anyway, to highlight important information (but not all text, of course, with this point I agree) bolding is sometimes necessary, this is obvious. This section can be removed even as everything with bolding is clear (I have removed bolding in archive notes) and the further work with the article text is going well. Regards, --Vladimir Historian (talk) 15:38, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

List of Wars excessive.

The list of wars includes Ww2 and several others which are only campaigns during WW2 (Eastern Front, Anglo Soviet Invasion of Iran, Soviet Invasion of Poland.). List of Wars shoulder restricted to wars, or subdivided into bullet points. Hippocrocopig (talk) 14:51, 15 August 2016 (UTC)hippocrocopig[reply]

Agreed DMorpheus2 (talk) 16:18, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Trimmed the list DMorpheus2 (talk) 13:23, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't the winter war still be on the list?
