Requests for assessment

 * Please note that this section is transcluded from a separate requests page, which you may wish to [ add to your watchlist].

Editors can self-assess articles against the five B-class criteria(FAQ) up to and including C-Class. If you have made significant improvements to an article against one or more of B-class criteria and would like an outside opinion on a new rating for it, please feel free to list it below, specifying which criteria you have worked on. If you feel unable to assess against one or more of the B-class criteria, please say so when posting. Requests for formal A-Class review should be made at the review department. Please consider entering articles you have improved in the military history article writing contest.

Experienced assessors are encouraged to take a look at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history/Coordinators  and check a few of ≈ B-Class assessments. Feel free to downgrade them if you consider they don't meet one or more the criteria. Please also delete any that you have checked. See also WikiProject Spaceflight/Assessment, whose articles often overlap with military history topics. -


 * Joseph Smith (general) - Another new biographical article. DYK hook suggestions most welcome. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  22:29, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Assessed B class. Not striking yet; leaving open for possible DYK suggestions. Donner60 (talk) 07:12, 11 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Surface Fleet Review Australian navy procurement document. Created this article and put in everything in it, I thought it would be worthy of a B-class but because I have created it I may have inflated it a bit. Thanks DeadlyRampage26 (talk) 06:05, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Edit: just had a look at some other B-class articles and thought that SFR is probably not worth b-class. I would appreciate if an editor could tell me whether it is worth a C-class or if it should remain at start. DeadlyRampage26 (talk) 06:41, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I am leaving a message on your talk page about additional citations and perhaps a minor tweak which can bring this up to B class. Rather than leave it with a lower rating, I think we should leave the request open and you can note that the article has been revised and ready for assessment.

 * 170th Rifle Division (Soviet Union) – Needs reassessment after major expansion. Kges1901 (talk) 11:13, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

 * 4th Tank Regiment (Italy) B class. Donner60 (talk) 04:16, 21 July 2024 (UTC) and 132nd Tank Regiment (Italy) . B class Donner60 (talk) 04:27, 21 July 2024 (UTC). The former is already classed as meeting B-class criteria, but as I added some 10k of text I would like to ask another editor to confirm the article meets the B-class criteria. Thank you, noclador (talk) 05:57, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Both B class. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 04:28, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Sarkis Martirosyan - Another biography Kges1901 (talk) 13:31, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I recommend a longer lede (introduction) to be complete. Other than that, it is B class. Donner60 (talk) 06:22, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Please assess: 60th Tank Battalion "M.O. Locatelli" B class. Donner60 (talk) 06:29, 21 July 2024 (UTC), and 62nd Armored Battalion "M.O. Jero" B class Donner60 (talk) 06:37, 21 July 2024 (UTC), thank you, noclador (talk) 14:08, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Both B class. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 06:38, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Requesting assessment for Mikhail Malofeyev, spent the evening improving the article. Missed out citations in the background section due to it linking to the main article, please advise if that's acceptable or if you'd like me to cite the lot. CommissarDoggoTalk?  20:35, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I have added a citation needed tag after the first paragraph in background. This assumes all other text in the section is supported by existing citations. More should be added if necessary to support any other text otherwise unsourced in this section. I also added a citation needed tag in the disappearance section. After these additions, B class. Donner60 (talk) 06:50, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @Donner60 Thanks as always for getting back to me, the only reason that Initial reporting from both sides of the conflict as to his fate following his disappearance were contradictory. is unsourced is because the contradictory reporting is shown in the next two sections, where there are several different accounts of events. If that still requires a citation then I'll remove the sentence.
 * As for the background section I'll go ahead and source the lot of it and tag you when that's done, thanks again. CommissarDoggoTalk?  10:44, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Defence Honours and Awards scandal. The mil-hist bot assessed it as start with the criteria for 1 & 2 not met, I've checked the inline citations and fixed up any that I found. For point 2) Coverage and accuracy, I've added what I could find with RS's going back to 1993 when the subject matter all started. I'd love for someone to check it over, eventually I want to get it up to A class. Nford24 (PE121 Personnel Request Form) 00:03, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I agree with Nick-D that the title does not seem to fit the situation. It appears to me to be more like a controversy than a scandal - unless perhaps that is how it is viewed by reliable sources. The lede (introduction) needs to be expanded to summarize the main points of the article. Otherwise, I think it has been revised enough to pass B class. Donner60 (talk) 07:09, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * When Nick-D said that it was called '2024 review of the Defence Honours and Awards system', by definition it seems to fit (Senator Roberts called General Campbell guilty of stolen valour indirectly during a senate hearing), but I'm completely open for it to change. Cheers, I'll work on the lead. Nford24 (PE121 Personnel Request Form) 07:35, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * No politician is a reliable source for rhetoric, and this is especially the case for extremists like Senator Roberts. Nick-D (talk) 07:59, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
