Can someone help me expand this? User:uber555

you might want to read Wikipedia:Your first article, Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles and Wikipedia:Guide to improving articles. I'm not exactly sure what this article is about. A tank? Make it more clear by writing a sentence above the section I just made. Those lines you had aren't wikipedia standard style (take a look at some other of our articles [[[Panzer]]]). Feel free to ask me more questions (here or on my talk page). (By the way, make sure you don't just copy and paste content from other websites because that would be copyright infringement).

I don't know. I just wanted it fixed and i added it was a tank.uber555. I made the info about it wikifed (Uber555 04:20, 14 January 2006 (UTC))But I need more info about it woops i accidentally deleted the wicify it.(Uber555 04:22, 14 January 2006 (UTC))[reply]

nah I deleted it because I thought it was pritty wikified. It might need an {{expand}} and stub though. Broken S 04:29, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, im adding info as i find it into my own words.(Uber555 04:31, 14 January 2006 (UTC))I put the WW1 tanks so you can so its "relation" but it may be removed since it's not a WW1 tank.(Uber555 05:04, 14 January 2006 (UTC))I just removed it and added info. (Uber555 05:58, 14 January 2006 (UTC))[reply]

I've added some information from Duncan. Can't vouch for its reliability though :o). Could anyone remedy the most glaring mistakes by consulting the recent works of David Fletcher?--MWAK 10:34, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for expanding the info!(Uber555 16:49, 14 January 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Interbellum tanks are a sadly neglected topic...You might want to create a Vickers Medium Mark I page (hint, hint...)--MWAK 15:47, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok :update article made needs more info(Uber555 04:37, 17 January 2006 (UTC))[reply]

I'll try to contribute.--MWAK 08:15, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the "English Workmen" indeed were built. 15 or 16 of them. Fletcher (in Mechanized Force, p.91) says 15, russian inventory of April, 14 1938 says 16. There are even german pictures of Vickers Medium Mk.II tanks captured in Russia. Fat yankey 14:57, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Very interesting! And thanks for the picture!--MWAK 10:20, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Very good pic! Sorry I haven't been on in a while. Uber555 04:35, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Were medium tanks in the Mohmand campaign or were the tanks actually light tanks?[edit]

"The tanks saw their first combat use when two were used against the Mohmands on the Northwest Frontier of British India during the Mohmand campaign of 1935." An alternative perspective could be that the tanks were actually Light Tanks Mark IIB. Billcorr (talk) 16:44, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
