The image is incorrect. That is an image of a polish twin-turret version. When posting a tank it is generally a bad idea to post images of the tank's variant as the main image of the article The image of the Polish varient should be replaced by an actual image of a vickers 6-ton tank. -TankSpecialstE419 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.99.68.169 (talk) 19:44, 9 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Armour?

edit

The text mentions 25mm (1") and 19mm (3/4") as thickness of the armour protection but the data section states only 13mm (1/2"). Can anyone clearify? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.79.12.164 (talk) 12:56, 19 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Reassessment - citations & better structure needed

edit

Dear wikipedians, I read this article today and must confess that found difficult to identify variants of this vehicle. The information needs to be structured more clearly, and I'm having a go with this in the next few days. Additionally I found few citations for the amount of information, hence tagged as "refimprove" and reassessed as not meeting B-class criteria. Regards, DPdH (talk) 14:27, 6 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Do you mean inline citations as to determine from which source the specific fact is taken from, or better sources in general?

Canadian use?

edit

No source for Canadian use is given, and Canadian sites never mention use of the six-tonner. I've flagged that as dubious, but will delete it in a few days if no source given. DMorpheus2 (talk) 19:54, 22 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Deleted today. I suspect the mistake is due to the fact that Canada used a few Vickers Mk VI light tanks. Perhaps someone mistook "Mk VI" for "six tonner", when they are of course completely different vehicles. Regards, DMorpheus2 (talk) 14:22, 25 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Engine

edit

The article states that the engine is an Armstrong Siddley Puma, I believe this to be incorrect? The article correctly states also that the engine in the Vickers 6 ton is air cooled and capable of around 90hp. The Puma was a 6 cylinder “water cooled” aircraft engine rated at around 250hp and much to massive to be used in the Vickers 6 ton ( see Wikipedia page on this engine) The engine in the Vickers was 4 cylinder air cooled and according to David Fletcher of Bovington Tank museum one half of an air cooled V8 previously used in the Vickers medium. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.18.150.29 (talk) 12:27, 21 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Use by Nazi Germany

edit

Are there any sources confirming use by Nazi Germany? German version of the article mentions that all captured Polish Mark Es were scrapped. This may be another confusion with Vickers Mk VI light tank. NatanStep (talk) 20:10, 19 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
