I'll take this for review. Parsecboy (talk) 16:00, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
- There are some grammar issues with the article - a copyedit request at WP:GOCER would be a good idea.
- There are several duplicate links that ought to be removed
- Is there an explanation of "named for Kalinowski"?
- Foreign language terms (like Kombrig, Komdiv, etc.) should be italicized unless they are common in English
- What variant of English is used in the article? "Mechanised" is the British spelling, but distances are given in "kilometers", the US spelling.
- Distance figures should also be converted into miles.
- Pipe the link to Battle of Smolensk (1943) please.
- The 9th Guards Motor Rifle Division provides contradictory information on that unit's lineage.
-
- Nevermind, I misread the article.
- What makes mechcorps.rkka.ru a reliable source? Ditto for generals.dk and tankfront.ru. Parsecboy (talk) 16:37, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
- mechcorps.rkka.ru is the website of Yevgeny Drig, who is quoted by David Glantz. I will change the refs to generals.dk and tankfront with more RS sources. Kges1901 (talk) 23:24, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
- Does Drig have any other publications? Generally, personal websites aren't considered reliable sources unless the author has been published elsewhere (and being quoted in someone else's book doesn't count - I've seen that argument shot down at the RS Noticeboard before).
