Talk:156th Infantry Division (France)

Military History Wikiproject assessment, August 2021
@User: Keith_H99: You recently requested this article to be reassessed to B class. However, while you expanded the article, there is little to no context offered on the troops actions (what did they mean, how effective were they?) etc. throughout the article. I think a good goal would be to have 2-3 sentences per movement/action. Furthermore, there are plenty of templates [|templates] available for MilHist purposes, I recommend you add the one on units to this article. Finally, many of the movements/actions are unreferenced. While tedious, it is helpful for all of them to be cited, or if more convenient, to be grouped in a paragraph. Please attempt to follow the example set by articles such as [] or any other in []'s "military units" section. Warm regards. A. C. Santacruz &#8258;  Talk  21:47, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

@User: Vami IV: Thank you for taking the time to give further explanation. I would ask that you undo the instances of the citation needed template within the "Creation and nomenclature" header, as all three line items are taken from the same page of the official history, the link for which is below.

Pompé 1924, p. 859.

As you can see, the same page as above is the same source for the "Commanders" header too. I had neglected to add this as a citation, so I will be doing that. Whilst I do see forum posts as potentially dubious, if the post itself is citing primary or secondary sources, I would see this as worthy of use, and avoiding a cyclical "the internet says.." claim which cannot be backed by source-based evidence.
