Talk:B1 Centauro

It is not clear how much the vehcile weights. On the sidebar is says 24t and in the text "25,000 kg (55,000 lb or 27.5 tons" -- Mike Gormez


 * 55,000 lb = 27.5 short tons = about 25,000 kg. So the vehicle weights about 24-25 metric tons. Since those figures are never exact, it's good enough. But I agree, four figures for weights is too much. I think all data that appears in the general characteristics table can be removed from the text, unless there is a reason to keep it.

 * I also agree, I removed some of the data that is already displayed in the table, we don't need it repeated in the article when its right there on the table, added the info about missle lauchers, which may give expanded AA or AT capabilities, also changed the phrase: "credible rumors" to "rumors" because of a lack of citation or source to make them credible Requen 20:36, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I've reverted most of the edits for the following reason: ThePointblank 23:03, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * All major sources separate the IFV variant from the APC variant. As such in accordance to the sources, the two models as written here in Wikipedia has to be separated.
 * There is no source for calling the Centauro IFV or APC variant as the 'Freccia', except for some Google hits that lead back to Wikipedia and related projects, and a couple of forums in Italian. All major sources used in the article call the IFV and APC variant as simply the Centauro APC or Centauro VBC IFV. As soon as there is a solid source for this, I would be happy to see that the relevant sections be modified.


 * See on the official Italian Army site: . The name is also changed in the last days in VBM Freccia (Veicolo Blindato Medio - Medium Armoured Vehicle) from VBC Freccia (Veicolo Blindato da Combattimento - Combat Armoured Vehicle). If you know Italian you can also read the "Rapporto Esercito 2006", the official Italian Army annual report. I think that the APC version was the first prototype in late 1996 or the 2002 PT-1 prototype, now there are 4 main AIFV version: standard, combat (anti-tank version with two Spike-LR), posto comando (command center) and mortar carrier. The first batch of 249 vehicles is divided in 172 standard, 36 combat, 20 posto comando and 21 mortar carrier. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.2.240.130 (talk • contribs)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 20:43, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
