Updating the information. Added a bunch more about hte development. --Evil.Merlin 01:39, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

I applaud your ambitious editing, but I have three suggestions. First, you need to offer readers something by which they can understand what the "OKO of zavod No. 1" was. Second, the para. introduced with "These changes included: ..." needs to be better worked out. It would seem to be better rendered as a bulleted list (but some folks object to long lists, especially so close to the start of the article). Third, please add citations for your new material (and for older material which may apply). It's next to impossible for later editors to figure out where it came from and add citations later. The lack of footnotes and references makes it difficult for these articles to be rated higher. Good editing! Askari Mark | Talk 04:33, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Working on it. I've added the Russian and English translations for the various groups involved in the MiG-3's life. I've also cleaned up some of the sections. One other note, when it comes to the guns, the center mounted weapon was/is the Universal'ny Berezina Synkhronny (Universal Berezin Syncronized) or UBS, the UBK is Kryl'evoj, meaning wing mounted. --Evil.Merlin 06:25, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Intro too long

The introduction to this article is too long. I think it could do with more sections and restructure the whole article. --Francisco Valverde 16:58, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

• Working on it. Lets start with this and see what people think. I also managed to finish translating the pilots manual for the MiG-3 as well as some other Russian documentation from the early 40's. I will do my best to get it into the article if it is pertinant. I will also remember to add my references. Sorry about that. --Evil.Merlin 02:11, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
