- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS):
- a (prose):
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- The book Air Power by Bill Gunston and others (compilation of various Purnell/Phoebus History of the World Wars titles) claims Tupelev designed the plane and Petlyakov "prepared it for series production" in 1939. Does this gel with any of your sources?
- Both Gunston's Encyclopaedia and Gordon specifically state that the task of meeting the requirement was given to the Tupolev OKB which assigned it to a brigade led by Petlyakov. I've rewritten the statement to clarify things a bit.

- a (references):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- I'm not sure the Varients section works; it might be better merging the first para into Design & Development and the rest into Operational History, which could be subdivided into WWII and Post-War as I feel the post-war info should appear chronologically after the wartime history.
- Since John Taylor isn't linked, best describe him, e.g. "military historian John Taylor". Also I assume he is synonymous with the Michael J.H. Taylor in the References - best make the name the same in both instances...
- I have identified him. They appear to be two people, father and son. Jehochman Talk 14:34, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
- I've followed Ian's suggestion and merged the Variants section into the others. And deleted the whole PS-42 claim since I haven't actually seen the book in question. Gunston and Gordon make absolutely no mention of any airliner version so I think that Taylor was simply speculating or was confused by the ON versions.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:47, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
