Pulling OOB out and creating OOB article for Invasion of Yugoslavia

The order of battle section of this article is very long and would benefit from being pulled out and put into an OOB (list) article similar to Order of battle for the Battle of France. Any objections? Peacemaker67 (send... over) 10:15, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Going ahead. Draft underway. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 06:23, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Ethnic composition

While the Serbs were vastly overrepresented in the Royal Yugoslav military, the claim that on the eve of the Axis invasion there were only four non-Serbian generals is an exaggeration popularized by communist historiography and ought to be fixed (There were more than eight Slovene generals accounted for during the April war) Moravats (talk) 13:44, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Date of formation ?

Anyone have a RS for the official date of formation of the RYA ? Seems like basic information for the article, but may not be easy to authoritatively establish. Cheers, W. B. Wilson (talk) 07:37, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Source

What is an Ustasha apologist book like Trial by Slander doing here? Definitely not WP:RS. 23 editor (talk) 18:39, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

Vehicles

Someone is able to find a list of royal yugoslav ground vehicles? It would be interesting to integrate the list into the page. PS Sorry for my terrible English, I am not a native speaker.Pietro Bosi (talk) 14:04, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

G'day Pietro, I'm not sure if Slom Kraljevine Jugoslavije 1941 : uzroci i posledice poraza [The Collapse of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1941: Causes and Consequences of Defeat] by Velimir Terzić has that level of detail. From what I've seen it has numbers of tanks, trucks, etc, but not makes and models. I haven't see any other sources that do. In any case, we wouldn't integrate such a list into this page, we would create a specific stand-alone list page called List of Royal Yugoslav Army vehicles or similar, then summarise it in this article with a link to the list.

Good day Thank you for the information; I found a list of the vehicles on a tank-fans website, I don't if it is reliable but the informations are related with photos.Pietro Bosi (talk) 17:07, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

I don't know Pietro Bosi (talk) 17:08, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Generally user-created websites like fan websites are not reliable, but if you post the url I'd be happy to have a look. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 00:42, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

The site is "Tank-EncyclopediaPietro Bosi (talk) 09:42, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

That looks like a user-generated fansite, so it can't be used as a source. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:15, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
