SU-100Y Self-Propelled Gun[edit]

Well, this is off to a good start, but there are some major issues that need work:

  • There are no references and no citations.
  • Is this article about the SU-100Y or the T-100? (For that matter, what is the T-100?) Is there a worthwhile distinction between the two? It may be possible to cover both in a single article, but a more defined structure is necessary.
  • There's a dearth of technical data. The dimensions of the vehicle, in particular, should be reasonable to obtain.

More generally, the article is very short. If there's no more material to be added, it may be appropriate to consider merging it into something broader (e.g. Experimental armored fighting vehicles of the Soviet Union in World War II or the like); but the better option, of course, would be to expand it, if at all possible.

Actually, I'm very concerned that the article appears to largely be based on a machine translation of the French site listed in the external links. As far as I know, translations are derivative works of the original, and constitute a copyright violation unless authorized by the original author; can anybody confirm that point? (In the meantime, I've reverted the article back to the version before the material was added, which seems to unfortunately be in rather sorry shape.)

Almost certainly a copyvio as a deriv work. The images looks like they are about to get deleted as well (PD-Soviet no longer being valid). I'll try and bring it up to at least a stub. Megapixie 02:52, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps things have changed a bit, but this article doesn't look like it's even close to being ready for something like a peer review. Oberiko 11:08, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
