[edit] 270th RD (II)
Thanks - anything's good to have. Cheers Buckshot06 (talk) 09:12, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Empire and Commonwealth
In accordance with www.regiments.org's precedent, I suggest you include both and do not try to distinguish - it's a subject for constitutional scholars, and not too important for the people who will be looking for the information. Thus 'Divisions of the British Empire and Commonwealth in WW2' or suchlike. I'd also advise if there's any way to merge roughly similar lists in, and not have a 'British Divisions in WW2' (which I think there is) hanging off the side dealing with virtually identical material, it'd be good. Consolidation's the way to go - with references! Cheers Buckshot06 (talk) 22:15, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] DSU
Hi Mr Wilson, it seems the 1917-45 page has made it into the list of the 50 longest pages on Wikipedia, and so I think we need to think seriously about spliting it. Do I understand your recommendation was rifle and guards rifle divisions (+ the VDV?) in one page, and everything else in another? Regards Buckshot06 (talk) 09:26, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'll look at the page lengths, but I do not think so; I propose the new page be 'Infantry Divisions of the Soviet Union 1917-57' to cover the point up to which the transition to Motor Rifles occurred. The other might be 'Cavalry, Artillery, and other divisions of the Soviet Union 1917-45'. I'm sorry I've never seen any reference to the circumstances in which 1st Czech AB was assigned to screen Dunkirk. Buckshot06 (talk) 23:09, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
- I suggest you add your recollection of the 1st CAB situation, and put a footnote explaining where you remember it from and that it needs to be better sourced. Buckshot06 (talk) 10:29, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] 9 battalion, the Royal Fusiliers
Do you have any way of verifying that several companies of this unit were ever taken prisoner by the Italian Army between 1941 and 1943? --mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 02:08, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] The unicorns have seized Tannu Tuva!
Infantry divisions of the Soviet Union 1917–1957 - do make any changes as you see fit. Buckshot06 (talk) 23:33, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Eastern Front (or anywhere) maps
Have a look here http://maps.poehali.org/en/catalogue/ I will propose we use these with edited graphics as required. The advantage is that they are available in different scales, and once modified become non-copyright original works of the editor (I think).--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 14:16, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Talk:British Divisions in World War II
Please come--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 09:36, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, so it seems you would rather stay out of this one.
- I was wondering, are you located in UK? Can you do me a favour in terms of research?--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 03:48, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Battle of Debrecen
Do you have any objections to moving this article to the Debrecen Offensive Operation title?--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 07:47, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] renaming proposal
Beacuse this was after all a Soviet operation, I would like to propose it be renamed to Debrecen Offensive Operation--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 07:48, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Army (Soviet Army)
Hi Mr Wilson. I'm trying to get this article through an A-class review, and one person's made the comment that in some places it's not well cited. Would you mind inserting some citations from your sources for the explanatory paragraphs you added? Thanks Buckshot06 (talk) 10:44, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
