I'll start this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:14, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • No DABs, external links OK.
  • Images appropriately licensed.
  • Rephrase the first sentence of the lede; something like "the T19 was a 105 mm howitzer mounted on a half-track chassis during WW2 by the US Army", and adjust the following sentence as necessary. Your current phrasing is ambiguous. Done
  • You're cramming a awful lot of information into the specifications section. It's hard to read because it's so dense, so break it into shorter sentences. And break it into two paragraphs, one for the vehicle and the other for the crew and armament details. Done
  • How is it similar to an M3? If they used the same chassis and other components, say so. Done
  • Provide metric conversions for all measurements on first use. Done
  • How much ammo did it carry? For both weapons, please. Done
  • Who designed it, Diamond T or the Ordnance Branch? Done
  • Add a link to gun shield. Done
  • When exactly was it accepted?
  • Surprising, but OK.
  • design was accepted, a pilot was shipped What's a pilot? Do you mean a prototype? Done
  • What kind of units used these? Armored FA battalions in armored divisions, probably, but did any other units use them? Like regimental cannon companies? Or independent FA battalions? Done
    • Armored Divisional HQ battalions? Really, doing what? I'd have expected armored FA battalions, but not HQ battalions. What company or unit inside the HQ battalions?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:48, 12 August 2015 (UTC) Done[reply]
  • A roster of the units that it served with would be nice, but not required.
  • More details please on the units that retained them into 1943 and later. Done--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:24, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not sure what you mean here.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:48, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Where are we on this? AFAIK, there are still one or two points that still need to be dealt with.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:20, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
