I'll get to this shortly--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:13, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Link infantry and division in the lede

• Done

• It was still in this district at the time of the German invasion as part of the 22nd Army and began moving west by rail, joining the Western Front when it arrived at the fighting front well to the north of Polotsk. over-complicated sentence, rephrase

• Done

• Lack of "the" before unit names throughout

• Historians such as Glantz use unit names without the "the" before the unit name

• True, but it still looks funny to my eye. Not a required change--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 13:32, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Link Toropets, Neruch river, platoon

• Done

• Not sure that the activities of the division's commanders after they were transferred away is relevant to this article
• Are the places mentioned in the Operation Kutuzov section too small to warrant articles? If so, simplify this down to the direction of attack and the planned depth of attack. You do this a lot in the later sections as well.

• Not too small, they all have articles in the Russian Wikipedia. Kges1901 (talk) 00:58, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• OK, but I still that these sections are over-full of info that the reader can't readily grasp without detailed maps that are probably unavailable in English.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 13:32, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Be sure to add imperial conversions for all metric measurements--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:14, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• You have a lot of titles in the citation section that aren't in the bibliography. Standardize one or the other.
• Inconsistent citation styles, pick one or the other.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:40, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
