DYK

(Suggestions are welcome) :)

for the DYK, maybe details of war could be included. For example, Battles Won or Fought, etc. --Boguslav (talk) 06:27, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

...that the 383rd Rifle Division (Soviet Union) was nicknamed Shakhterskaya (meaning miners') because it was originally compromised entirely of miners from the Donets Basin in modern-day Ukraine?

I think this article has already been listed at the dyk page: [1]. It looks like his suggestion is pretty similar to yours. Ostap 07:29, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the interest guys, but I listed this for DYK a while ago. I usually nominated my articles the day I write them, to increase their chances...Bogdan ^що? 16:29, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Losses inflicted

It seems highly unlikely that an inexperienced division would inflict 6,500 enemy casualties in a single battle, given the general background of the period (German forces overwhelming Soviet defenses until november 1941 at least) JurSchagen (talk) 22:20, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
