Tetrarch (tank) edit

I intend to take this to A-Class review and then to FAC, so any comments would be welcome! Skinny87 (talk) 16:14, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Abraham, B.S. edit

Just a few minor comments about references/citations:

In citation 23 ("Fitzsimons, p.1753"), are you sure that it is the correct page number, as it seems rather high?

Another editor added that - apparently it's like the 17th volume in a series

Hmm, unusual. Abraham, B.S. (talk) 09:37, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Citataions 60 and 61 require an endash between the page ranges.

Get that done in a jiffy

Right, thats done

There seems to be a rather high reliance on Flint. Would it be possible to substitue some of those references for another to allow for a more even spread/diversity?

I hope this won't be a problem, but the basic answer is no; very few historians have focused on the Tetrarch in any detail above that they were used in Normandy. As a matter of fact, I didn't even know that they had been used anywhere but Normandy before I read Flint, and as he says in the book there's little information to go on - he uses a lot of primary references.

I've managed to replace a couple of Flint's with Fletcher's, but I think thats going to be all I can do. Skinny87 (talk) 08:43, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough; it's not too bad, you've intergrated a number of other sources in there, so it should be all good. Abraham, B.S. (talk) 09:37, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Admittedly, I haven't had much of a look at the prose, but I don't see you having too much trouble with an A-Class review. If I were you, I would archive this peer review some time soon and go for A-Class. Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 09:37, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cam edit

Just a few comments

Would it be possible to split the one note into a section separate of the citations? There is a method of doing it, although I have never actually figured it out.
Refs 7, 9 & 66 need combining.

Other than that looks ready to go(I actually happened to see a copy of Flint's book at Pegasus Bridge when I was there two summers ago..it looked good;). All the best, Cam ^(Chat) 04:08, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Refs combined and that ref seperated into a note with a seperate section above the footnotes. And yes, it's a great book Cam, only one I know to give in-depth coverage to the Tetrarch, Locust and 6th Airborne Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment. Skinny87 (talk) 12:26, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
