51st Army (Soviet Union) edit

One of the seventy(!) rifle armies the Red Army raised during World War II. Have incorporated virtually all the comments at a recent peer review, and would be looking for either an A-class endorsement or what needs to be fixed for the article to reach A-class.

Support ~~Comment~~ Nice work. A few niggles, nearly all stylistic. I'm not sure about the encyclopedicfulness of "the awful Crimean debacle". The quote – Kuznetsov's 'sticking blindly to the prewar plan,' – needs a source. Personally, I prefer notes and sources separated into two sections and consistently presented: it's easier to follow somehow (and makes the article look longer!). Dates are inconsistent; sometimes 6 May, sometimes 6th May. Dates need wikilinking too. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 18:53, 31 January 2008 (UTC)"[reply]
Comment: I think this article needs some images or other supporting materials (such an infobox). There are also few unreferenced paragraphs. --Eurocopter tigre (talk) 23:00, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Response from nominator: The Kuznetsov quote was sourced at the end of the paragraph - I've now put in an addition reference. Wikilinked more dates - please tell me about any that have slipped through, and if anyone knows how to link things like 15 - 19 December or suchlike, that would be good. There is actually an infobox at the start and two tables lower down. I do not know of any images specifically showing the 51st Army, as opposed to general Red Army operations. I'll recheck the references. Thanks for the comments. Buckshot06 (talk) 01:07, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Done a couple of missed dates, and pout the rest into consistent month/day format. It's not possible to wikilink date ranges (silly, huh?). --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 07:56, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pouting eh? ;) Woody (talk) 21:54, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - the page formats need to be consistent and some of the ref details are not filled in fully, eg raw url only. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:16, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support The writing is crisp and clear and it would make a good model for military unit histories. The 'Postwar' section needs a cite for its last two sentances and the references need to be consistently formatted, but those are minor issues which can be easily fixed and this isn't an FA review. --Nick Dowling (talk) 07:26, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support Whislt I agree with Blnguyen that those issues need fixing, I don't think it precludes it from A-Class status. Make sure you do those before taking to FAC, ask if you need help or a review. Woody (talk) 21:54, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
