INS Shankul (S47) has infoboxes for 2 different vessels
INS Shankul (S47) has infoboxes for 2 different vessels. I assume this is a cut and paste error that needs fixing Vicarage (talk) 11:19, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- The two entries are for the same vessel. The second history section in the infobox refers to a refit and relaunch. Reference 1 show the refit date but no other details. The discussion in that reference mentions another refit between 2000 and 2006 but the text is rather vague. The information on that later work doesn't appear in this stub article. This article has obvious deficiencies. Perhaps someone can do some research and clarify the construction and refit history of the vessel as well as adding information. The reference has a little more discussion about it, for what it may be worth. Donner60 (talk) 03:32, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- Appears there was a name change (from Shankush) which would be the reason for a second infobox. Refits on their don't require an a new infobox (afaik), they are just noted in the history in prose. - wolf 07:10, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
Reminder about a funny pastime
When was the last time you checked commons:Category:Unidentified military vehicles? or parent commons:Category:Unidentified_military? (Yes, that name might need changing :P). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 23:17, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- I can identify three of these but don't see where on the files it actually asks for an ID? Also, quite a few of these vehicles appear to be buildings - someone perhaps should recategorise? Monstrelet (talk) 19:46, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Change from the Unidentified military vehicles category to a more specific category, or just remove the unidentified category if it does not apply. -Fnlayson (talk) 20:22, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Some folks are very liberal with such categories, and can add it to a panoramic view of buildings etc. with some small part of the picture featuring said unidentified vehicle. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:23, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
Angolan Civil War
Hi all. Recently the infobox to Angolan Civil War has been amended to include a long list of the various nationalities that served as foreign mercenaries or volunteers during that conflict. This results in the respective nations essentially being listed under the "combatants" heading of the infobox. I think this is highly unusual, and most of the other conflict-related articles I've read or revised do not have this feature, even those in which foreign fighters took part, whether as mercenaries or otherwise. As is it seems to make the infobox rather bloated, and I'm in favor of restricting the use of the "combatants" section solely to national governments which participated directly in hostilities. Thoughts? Katangais (talk) 00:27, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Agreed. "From that country" =/= "That country was a combatant". - The Bushranger One ping only 00:36, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- @SpinnerLaserzthe2nd:: Please explain why the listing of different nationalities of mercenaries is necessary in the combatants section of the infobox. I've yet to see this in any other conflict-related article, so I'm genuinely puzzled at its inclusion at Angolan Civil War. --Katangais (talk) 05:18, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Look at the Iran–Iraq War article for example. You can see under volunteers. We could either:
- A. Place the mercenaries under the “units involved” section since the infobox had a Units section
- B. Keep it as it was SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 05:50, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Iran–Iraq War lists general foreign fighters as combatants (ie "Shia volunteers" and "Arab volunteers"). The equivalent would be adding "foreign mercenaries" to the combatants list for Angolan Civil War. There's no need to list the individual nationalities of all the mercenaries as separate combatants in the infobox, especially alongside state actors. --Katangais (talk) 07:45, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- We could still list the indiviual nationalities under "units involved" section. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 10:34, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Nationalities are not units. That’s the type of information that would be useful in the body of the article, but too granular for the infobox. --Katangais (talk) 17:29, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- We could still list the indiviual nationalities under "units involved" section. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 10:34, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

The equivalent would be adding "foreign mercenaries" to the combatants list for Angolan Civil War.

Proposed deletion of Marlin-class submarine
The article Marlin-class submarine has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Could not find reliable sources to establish notability.
While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Help needed on People's armed police related pages
The article 126th Armed Police Mobile Division (People's Republic of China)(currently it is known as the 2nd mobile contingent of the PAP so I added a redirect) is completely out of date(simply by switching to the chinese wikipedia article there is much more info lol) and is lacking in tonnes of information that other articles have sources on; heck even the People's Armed Police section on it has more information than the article itself.
Prior to me editing it and adding that it is currently the 2nd mobile contingent, the page was lacking anything about what happened to if after 1950, with it literally saying "As Of 1970-1980, it is currently a PAP unit" when tonnes of info can be found to update it
Another issue is that the Snow Leopard commando Unit article claims it is part of the beijing contingent when almost all sources(including but not limited to chinese wikipedia) i can find online claim it is part of the 2nd mobile contingent. Thehistorianisaac (talk) 01:36, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
B-class assessment
- I have been encountering articles that I feel have been prematurely promoted to B-class. Many are Hero of the Soviet Union articles. Examples: Kadi Abakarov and Akhsarbek Abaev. It could be that there is just not much to go on but that seems dubious. Pavle Abramidze is somewhat of an improvement but I suspect there is more that could be written. Hero of the Soviet Union articles are a noble thing but if that is the only thing a person has done then the notability might be questionable. At least the article should contain more content and a better lead before being promoted to B-class. Others are military deserters like Larry Allen Abshier with an unsourced section. Articles like Roy Chung, with the one sentence lead, and enough content to possibly fill the criteria for Start-class. Another is Agus_Suhartono. I did not dig into any specifics, because I have been under the weather, I just thought I should mention this. -- Otr500 (talk) 19:59, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
- B class is the minimum acceptable standard for Misplaced Pages articles. The B-Class criteria requires that "it reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies." Larry Allen Abshier was assessed back in 2008, when criteria were less strict that they are today. Today it would be rated C class. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:42, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
