Editorializing

Just noting while buzzing through that this article seems at once pro-US biased. "ThE country luckily" had a high industrial capacity? Wasn't very lucky for the germans, was it? --TVPR 12:57, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just the specs, ma'am

I notice there are a few spex missing, like fuel capacity (477 USgal, 1807 l), engine torque (1830pd-ft @2100rpm), engine compression ratio (4.92:1), ignition system (magneto), transmission (three speed; two fwd, 1 rev), track width (25.75"), electrical system (24VDC), trench crossing (11 ft), vertical wall clearing (4 ft), & turning circle (74 ft).

Some useful scans

I've added a few scans to commons that show the various version from an old technical manual.

M6
M6A1
T1E1

Might be worth integrating. Megapixie (talk) 15:15, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, indeed worth integrating. Bukvoed (talk) 19:41, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: moved. – robertsky (talk) 09:32, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Heavy Tank M6 → M6 heavy tank
Medium Tank M7 → M7 medium tank
Medium Tank M1921 → M1921 medium tank
Medium Tank M1922 → M1922 medium tank
Light Tank Mk VI → Mk VI light tank
Light Tank Mk VII Tetrarch → Mk VII Tetrarch light tank
Light Tank Mk VIII → LMk VIII light tank

– Per WP:MILMOS and WP:LOWERCASE. WP:MILMOS#TANKS – "all articles documenting tanks should include "tank" as a part of its title, generally appended at the end". WP:MILMOS#Capitalization – "When using numerical model designation, the word following the designation should be left uncapitalized (for example, 'M16 rifle' or 'M109 howitzer') unless it is a proper noun.". Also for consistency, e.g., with M2 light tank, M2 medium tank, M103 heavy tank, M1917 light tank, T57 heavy tank, T92 light tank, T95 medium tank, and Type 95 heavy tank, and with corresponding tank class articles Light tank, Medium tank, Heavy tank, and Super-heavy tank.
