Picture missing

Hi, today I've included (again) a link to the pic that I've originally uploaded to "Wikipedia". Have noticed that the same pic seems to be also in "Commons" but I couldn't figure out how to link there. Please, if an experienced editor looks at this article I'd appreciate if he/she can replace my link with the correct one, or if can directs me to the instructions on how to do this.

Many thanks,

I fix the pic code, glad to help :-) Jor70 11:21, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Milhist assessment

I think it is just about a B class article. I think it needs a lot of expansion and I wonder whether it meets the 2nd criteria: "It reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain major omissions or inaccuracies." It seems to cover most things but not in any detail. It will need a lot of work to get it to GA. Good work so far though. Woody (talk) 11:53, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not a version of the Grant/Sherman...

It was the Argentine version of the M4 Sherman and the M3 Grant.

This is not true, and it was never stated in the original version of this article. It maybe can be said that it's "inspired" on those tanks (as the "Calquin" plane is inspired on the "Mosquito"), but not a version. If nobody reasonably opposes, will rephrase that sentence before end of this month.
Kind regards, DPdH (talk) 08:36, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

According to Javier de Mazarrasa says that Lt. Col. Baisi was inspired by the Sherman. So, I think you're correct. JonCatalán (talk) 03:56, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Working on an expanded version of the article

Hi all, just wanted to comment that I'm currently working on an enlarged version of this stub, gith the goal of having it assessed at least as "good article" (in a first stage). I'm using the info in the books mentioned in the Bibliography, of which I own a copy:

Sigal Fogliani, Ricardo Jorge. Nahuel DL 43 - Tanques Argentinos (desde sus origenes hasta 1950), ISBN 987-020788X.
Sigal Fogliani, Ricardo Jorge. Blindados Argentinos, de Uruguay y Paraguay, (ISBN not available).
Ness, Leland. Jane's World War II Tanks and Fighting Vehicles - The complete guide, ISBN 0-00-711228-9.

Due to current work/family commitments, I guess that the new version of the article will not be ready before the second half of Oct'08.
I'll appreciate if any editor that wish to make changes to this article can please coordinate first with myself, to avoid duplication of efforts. I'll place an appropriate tag in the article to show the "work in progress".
Thanks & regards, DPdH (talk) 07:10, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Javier de Mazarrasa's book contains some information on the Nahuel. I wish I still had a scanner so that I could send you the relevant pages, but unfortunately I recently threw it out. JonCatalán^(Talk) 04:30, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I recently threw it out The book, or the scanner??? ;-) Thanks for the offering, Jon. Sigal Fogliani's book is probably the most complete one about this interesting tank (if only I knew in which box I've archived my copy...). And I still look forward to buying a copy of Javier de Mazarrasa's book on the TAM.

Hi All, I haven't finished the new version! Last year (2009) was a bit too complicated for me. But I'm going back to work on it soon. Regards, DPdH (talk) 01:32, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again... 2010 was a better year but too busy to dig in my storage for my copy of Sigal Fogliani's book, so the revamped article is still a WIP. Happy 2011 for all! Cheers, DPdH (talk) 10:52, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Still in my "to-do" list is to expand this article. Didn't have time to search in the storage, yet. Regards, DPdH (talk) 08:58, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article name

Hi Wikipedians, as "Nahuel" by itself is just a name, and a casual user wouldn't always be thinking of the tank when seeing it elsewhere, I renamed this article based in the tank's actual name as shown in most bibliographical accounts: "Nahuel DL 43".
