51st Army (Soviet Union)
Been working on this Soviet army, one of a large number, in conjunction with user:W. B. Wilson, and since it's now in reasonable shape would appreciate suggestions for further improvement. Buckshot06 (talk) 09:29, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

A few suggestions, in no particular order:
 * Infobox Military Unit?
 * The list of commanders would work better as a table, at the least; another possibility would be to use service record.
 * Ditto the OOB, but with command structure.
 * The lead should be considerably longer.
 * Various MoS fixes are needed; in particular, dates need to be properly linked.
 * "In 1987, the 192nd Tank Regiment was re-formed into 97th independent Tank Battalion." - what does this have to do with the army as a whole?
 * Additional detail on the post-war period, if any is avaialble, would be helpful.
 * Believe me, if the Net or any other source had anything extra, it'd be in there. I'll go back again and see what I can find in translation from Soldat.ru. Buckshot06 (talk) 20:47, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

This is a good brief history of the Army. I'd agree with most of Kirill's comments, though I think that the lead's length is OK given that the article is relatively brief. Can you add anything about the quality of the Army during World War II - eg, was it regarded as a particularly good or bad unit? It would also be good if the reason for the Army's formation in 1941 was discussed - was this part of the pre-war mobilization plan and were its' initial units also newly formed? If they're available, some photos of the Army would be great. I like the article's structure, which is very clear. --Nick Dowling (talk) 07:33, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Hope I've sketched in now reasonably well the circumstances of the Army's formation - the 12 August Stavka session.Buckshot06 (talk) 06:03, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
