Armoured Fighting Vehicles. Removal of appalling section, 8 July 2015.
[edit]I counted 5 mistakes in the first sentence of this section: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armour#Armoured_fighting_vehicles After that it's downhill.
It is riddled with errors and omissions. I would rather someone go and find an authoritative reference work - even Wikipedia - than they imagine they might learn something from this garbled, badly researched, ill-informed account. I haven't got time to sort out this mess, but at least it can be removed and any interested party referred to the other articles, where they might read something at least approaching a credible and accurate version of events.

Language Tags
[edit]This talk page says that this article uses four different spelling conventions (British, British Oxford, Canadian, Australian). Which is it? Mysterymanblue 02:04, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
- That's odd. It might, perhaps, be in reference to just the subject itself? All of those engvars spell it 'armour'. Firejuggler86 (talk) 04:14, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
- The article itself is tagged for British English, and so was this Talk page until an IP editor added the others in 2019 without any explanation. I've removed those additions. --RL0919 (talk) 15:31, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Removal of 'History' heading?
[edit]The 'History' section of the article is empty (and marked for expansion), but historical matter seems to be covered in the other sections of the article for each armour type (personal, vehicle, combat). Wouldn't it be better to just remove the History section altogether? I'm not sure if there are any plans to be made for a more general history, but from what I see there isn't much need for it.
