Soviet divisions
If you're working on anything that involves c.1989-1991, take a look at ru:Список_дивизий_Вооружённых_сил_СССР_(1989—1991), which gave me no clues on the 146th Motor Rifle Division, but includes Army (inc artillery & MGAD), VVS, PVO, RSVN, Navy, Naval Aviation, Naval Infantry and Coastal Defence, Border Troops, and Internal Troops divisions..

 * I will work on tracking assessments for motor rifle divisions later, focusing on what we have articles on first, as we have the best coverage of Ground Forces divisions right now. According to Feskov et al 2013, the 146th Mountain Rifle Division was disbanded in 1958. Holm claims that a 146th Motor Rifle Division was formed as a mobilization unit later on. I plan to go in numerical order for the rifle divisions. Kges1901 (talk) 21:28, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh completely. I would argue that for any non-military people interested, Ground Forces divisions are more politically and historically important, both for the Soviet Army's communist aspects, and the crucial role of the GPW in the Soviet Union's history. I was just aware of your air divisions list draft and wanted to draw this other resource to your attention; I know my editing interests go through phases!! Buckshot06 (talk) 21:57, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Interestingly, that list was created after the Soviet divisions list that you created. I suspect it was partially translated at one point, though it is more complete than 'ours' now. Kges1901 (talk) 22:50, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * You were correct with 4 DNO (Light) (Leningrad), but there were definitely DNOs that were "Guards"- http://www.armchairgeneral.com/rkkaww2/formation/DNO.htm. Buckshot06 (talk) 00:06, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
 * If you're still looking for the 146th MRD this source (a transcript of the "Вооруженные Силы СССР после Второй Мировой войны: от Красной армии к Советской. Часть 1: Сухопутные войска", page 276 https://www.litmir.me/br/?b=564934&p=276) states that the 146th MRD was formed on Dec 1, 1981 under the 13th Army, then in June 1985 got transfered to the 38th Army. On Dec 1, 1987 it was transformed into a training MRD (664-й ТУЦ, abbreviation stands for Territorial Training Center; armed with 43 Т-64; 153 БТР (123 БТР-70, 30 БТР-60), 51 БМП (36 БМП-1, 15 БРМ-1К); 12 БМ-21 "Град", 38 ПМ-38; 5 МТУ, а также: 28 Р-145 БМ, 2 Р-156БТР, 6 РХМ, 1 УР-67). On July 1, 1989 the training MRD became the 5194th Armament and Equipment Conservation Base (5194-я БХВТ), which in turn was reduced and put under the 6242th Armament and Equipment Conservation Base (6242-я БХВТ) on June 1, 1991. Another source I've found about half an hour ago (which address I did not copy unfortunately) stated that before that there was another 146th Rifle Division (HQ in Batumi, Georgian SSR) in the Transcaucasus MD, which was disbanded in 1958. After that in the 1960s and 1970s there was a cadred 146th MRD (it was even designted 146th Cadre Motor Rifle Division - 146-я Мотострелковая дивизия кадра), but apparently it was stricken from the Soviet Army force structure, as the division formed in 1981 does not share its lineage.(http://www.pseudology.org/Pobeda/Slugin_S_Armiya_SSSR_Chast_01a.pdf (page 427

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive
G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
 * updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

New Page Review Newsletter No.10
Hello, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages! ACTRIAL:
 * ACTRIAL's six month experiment restricting new page creation to (auto)confirmed users ended on 14 March. As expected, a greatly increased number of unsuitable articles and candidates for deletion are showing up in the feed again, and the backlog has since increased already by ~30%. Please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day.

Paid editing
 * Now that ACTRIAL is inoperative pending discussion, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary.

Subject-specific notability guidelines
 * The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
 * Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies. A further discussion is currently taking  place at: Can a subject specific guideline invalidate the General Notability Guideline?

Nominate competent users for Autopatrolled
 * While patrolling articles, if you find an editor that is particularly competent at creating quality new articles, and that user has created more than 25 articles (rather than stubs), consider nominating them for the 'Autopatrolled' user right HERE.
