[edit] S-300

The article has gone through a lot of changes over the past few weeks and has really grown. I think it can get Good article status with some work, so hence this request for peer review. - Dammit 17:57, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Quite a nice article. Some general suggestions:

• More footnotes are always helpful. This is particularly important for articles such as this one, which have a lot of statistics one might wish to verify.
• The bulleted lists in every section are excessive. I would rewrite them into regular prose; otherwise, the article looks too choppy.
• Some general condensing of the shorter sections into more substantial contiguous blocks might be helpful. Again, you want to fight the impression of list- or table-heaviness in an article.

Overall, though, the material looks quite good. Kirill Lokshin 05:09, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

I've written the bulleted lists into prose, but what do you mean with condensing of the shorter sections into more substantial contiguous blocks, could you give an example? - Dammit 11:11, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

It's an issue that's mostly gone away now that the lists are gone. There are still some very short sections (e.g. "S-300PMU"), though; I don't know how important it is that each variant get its own section, but if multiple ones can be grouped together, it would create less choppy prose.

I've tried to work away those, but I'm not exactly convinced it looks better this way. It seems a bit harder to find information about specific subversions now, but that might just be my inexperience. - Dammit 19:36, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
