I will review this later; don't be suprised if I'm unusually (or usually) exacting, because I will assume that you are planning to go to FAC later. I think I will have fun reviewing this article. WikiCopter (♠ • ♣ • ♥ • ♦ • simple • commons • lost • cvu • onau) 04:03, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

  • File:Iskra german defences.JPG needs a NFUR or it has to be taken off the article, the license is not correct. WikiCopter (♠ • ♣ • ♥ • ♦ • simple • commons • lost • cvu • onau) 04:10, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
    • Does PD Ukraine not apply to this image? It was taken before 1951. I am not the expert on licenses, I am not even sure I put the right licenses on the maps I made.
      • Sorry, it works. Blame my stupidity.
  • At 18:00 the sappers constructed bridges near Mar'ino to allow second echelon troops to advance.. "Sappers"? WikiCopter (♠ • ♣ • ♥ • ♦ • simple • commons • lost • cvu • onau) 04:26, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
    • That is the word used by Glantz in the book. "Engineers" does not quite sum up their activities.
      • What are sappers?
        • Sappers are combat engineer units.Linked in article now.D2306 (talk) 20:06, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
  • In the references, Isayev = Киселев, right? If so, use the Cyrillic for both. WikiCopter (♠ • ♣ • ♥ • ♦ • simple • commons • lost • cvu • onau) 04:34, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
    • The names in the references are already both in Cyrillic. Do you want me to add their names in Latin letters?D2306 (talk) 12:10, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
      • Which encoding do you use? I can't see them. WikiCopter (♠ • ♣ • ♥ • ♦ • simple • commons • lost • cvu • onau) 16:55, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
        • Ok, my mistake this time. The "Notes" had names in latin letters, while "references" had cyrillic. Fixed.D2306 (talk) 20:06, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
  • Lede needs a tad of expansion, I suggest that you expand the second para (it's only one paragraph right now). WikiCopter (♠ • ♣ • ♥ • ♦ • simple • commons • lost • cvu • onau) 17:06, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
