List of tanks in the Spanish Civil War
This is my first nomination for featured list. I'm sure I can work through it, though. JonCatalán(Talk) 22:37, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 17:03, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:26, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks! Everything should be changed. JonCatalán(Talk) 16:44, 18 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Support This list looks great and meets all the criteria. Nick-D (talk) 11:13, 20 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose too many niggles...
 * "... imported material..." I may be wrong but I thought in this context the correct work was materiel?
 * "... the Germans sent its first shipments ..." not "the Germans", just "Germany" for the rest of the sentence to work.
 * If this is a comprehensive list of tanks in the Spanish Civil War then surely Trubia A4 should have an article since you state "The Nationalists, for example, began the war with three Trubia A4 prototypes..."
 * A few too many generalist statements, e.g. "as early as", "a number of", "for example", "In general". Just think the prose in the lead needs a good copyedit.
 * "...and the Trubia factory had designed and built a single model of the Landesa." I´m not following the logic of this clause.
 * Any reason why Tanks is capitalised in the collapsible navbox?
 * Why are the tank names in the table in bold?
 * Keep the table styles consistent - why the big difference in table styles between those tanks produced by the national and the popular front?
 * Number or Number produced? Be consistent with table headings.
 * Suddenly you mention the Second Spanish Republic in the table. It´s not mentioned before or afterwards.  What is the context for this tank type?
 * Ref 4 needs pp. not p. to be consistent. Check other multiple page references.
 * Fourth and sixth general references use pp. when only a single page is used.
 * "... another 10 required return rollers..." this means nothing to a non-expert.
 * Hope the comments help push the quality of the list towards featured status. The Rambling Man on tour (talk) 22:03, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Withdraw I am taking a long break from Wikipedia (in favor of getting through this semester of university). JonCatalán(Talk) 23:11, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
