When you recently edited Eric Dorman-Smith, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Western Desert ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Pavel Batov may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
Thanks, BracketBot ( talk) 03:04, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
Thanks Wreck Smurfy. The Red Army editors' group is User:Ryan.opel, myself, and User:W. B. Wilson, who did the bulk of the monumental List of Soviet infantry divisions 1917-57. That list as you will have noticed is mostly Poirer and Connor, thus thoroughly out of date, but better than nothing. Once you've done 354th Rifle Division (Soviet Union) you may wish to consider joining us working on User:Ryan.opel/42nd Army (Soviet Union) and 57th Army (Soviet Union) (from W.B. Wilson). My policy for the last few years has been to focus on armies and divisions, and to leave the rifle corps 'for now'. We have now all but the last sixteen or so regular armies done, so I'm trying to make an effort on those. Would you mind also please kindly redlinking all rifle divisions, artillery divisions, and tank brigades, if you're not already doing so. Warm regards from Aotearoa, Buckshot06 (talk) 07:33, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Fantastic work!! Very well done. Do you need help putting in the interwiki links to the Russian articles? Buckshot06 (talk) 05:40, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
Thanks, Buckshot. I've been busy with other projects most of the past year, but I'll keep running with the 300-series rifle divisions so long as the source material holds out. I'll also take the 87th Guards Rifle, based on the 300th Rifle. By all means you can put in those links; however some of the info (such as honorifics) has come from the titles of uncompleted articles (2nd Formation of 300th Rifle, for example).

Buckshot06 (talk) 16:40, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
Great stuff. Now I'll tell you a secret: the reason I concentrate on lower-numbered divisions is that they tend to have been formed multiple times, so if you fully write out the history you cover more divisional formations with a single effort. Should you get tired of working through the 305-upwards series at some point, please consider working on all division that have been formed four times, then all divisions that have been formed three times... I'll see if I can ferret out a list. Buckshot06 (talk) 04:02, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your recent articles, including 309th Rifle Division (Soviet Union), which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:04, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for your recent articles, including Ivan Boldin, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section.

A thought I had for you, @ Ryan.opel:, @ W. B. Wilson: and @ Kges1901:; there is a Russian article for Reserve of the Supreme High Command. This is what Sharp calls the Stavka Reserves. I've verified this using the terminology at the Stavka article. I have redlinked Reserve of the Supreme High Command in several places, which can act as a place we can put any available information on units/formations in reserve (such as the Reserve Army (Soviet Union)). Please, would you kindly stop using the translated term 'Stavka Reserves' and start redlinking Reserve of the Supreme High Command. Many thanks for all your hard work. Buckshot06 (talk) 20:14, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

First, thanks for 399th Rifle Division (Soviet Union) - much appreciated. Sharp was writing in 2006 when he may not have had full access to BSSA, which we've now got reasonably reliable copies of. Would you mind listing the last seven divisions - better, the last twenty in the extract you spoke of - so we can check them against BSSA?

We have a problem with your Russian images - like File:Soviet Major General Aleksandr Dmitrievich Berezin.jpg. There is no proper US copyright tag (Russian copyright is irrelevant on en-wiki). I posed a question at c:Commons:Village_pump/Copyright#Advice_on_Image and your statement is correct - at that time the copyright was 5 years but it changed later, and included old images. At URAA (1996) it was 50 years, so any published Russian image pre 1945 would be OK, and would not have it's US copyright renewed. That looks fine so far, and if that is the case then the images could not only stay, but be moved to commons with c:Template:PD-Russia and c:Template:PD-1996 templates. However there is one major issue, in that all these calculations only work when there is evidence of publication at the required date period. If they were unpublished until they hit that web site, then the copyright countdown starts then. Partly due to the Russian poor framing of its copyright laws (meaning all unpublished works retain copyright indefinitely), and the US law, which allows 120 years for unpublished works before they become PD. If you cannot show when they were published, then they may have to go. Ronhjones (Talk) 18:46, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Hey WreckSmurfy, continuing congrats on all your good work. Might you and Kges1901 now be able to do better than the term 'standard Red Army rifle division', which keeps on popping up in your articles? Do we have the Shtat details, and can we give the specific Shtat it was formed with? We should probably create the redirect Shtat and direct it also to Table of organization and equipment, and add a section there.. Buckshot06 (talk) 22:11, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 414th Rifle Division (Soviet Union), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page 3rd Panzer Division ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

For all your work with Soviet military history. Incredible job! Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 04:41, 22 April 2020 (UTC) |
Dear Wreck Smurfy, at this page, it is reported that the Battle Banner of the 748th RR, 206th Division, 2nd Ukrainian Front has been handed over to the Turkmenistan authorities. We could add this to a new article on the 206th Rifle Division - appears to be likely the Second Formation, 206th RD. Also note that List of tank brigades of the Red Army now exists. Copying in Kges1901; Ryan.opel. Buckshot06 (talk) 00:29, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
The second formation of the 206th should be pretty well documented - Pamyat Naroda has the combat journals for the entire war and the unit's commander had a war history written in 1946 before the division was disbanded, too. I'll get back to the Red Army eventually, but when I come back to it I'll probably work on getting the 58th Guards RD to FA. Though Berdimuhamatov's ancestor may have served with the 206th, it was mostly not a Uzbek division, at least when formed, looking at the detailed demographic breakdown of the division in this document. Kges1901 ( talk) 10:55, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi Wreck Smurfy. I understand that you have a copy of Nafziger's The German Order of Battle, Infantry in World War II looking for a good home in exchange for the cost of the postage from Canada. If this thoughtful and generous offer is still open I would be keen to take you up on it. I do a fair bit of work around MilHist articles and could make good use of it. Regards.

Dear Wreck Smurfy, I continue to be staggered and amazed by your fortitude in cracking through these Guards Rifle Divisions one at a time!! Please accept my very best wishes in this regard. Now, at 14th Guards Army we have a redlink for the 86th Guards Motor Rifle Division, the Nikolaevskaya Red Banner Division. If you wish to do something different, and you would like to, you might wish to consider doing one out of order, which would fill a gap for a division that existed until the Moldovans reportedly took it over in February 1992.

Was the Soviet infantry division holding Nikolayevka during this battle the 48th Guards Rifle Division? I'm sure that Noclador, formerly of this Italian Corps, would be actively interested to see any clarifications/expansions of this article that you could add. Please note the talkpage warnings about inflated stories, but I have checked the Ruwiki account thru Google Translate and the essential facts - that the Alpini Corps broke out at the cost of about half its' soldiers- appear correct.

First of all, thanks for your work creating articles on Red Army divisions!
Second, sorry for sending your watchlist berserk. It goes like this: I was doing an AWB run looking for non-standard dates, and many articles on Red Army divisions came up. Whilst the suggested changes usually weren't much use I did notice that they all used mdy dates. I ended up investigating it a bit. As I understand, the Soviet Union used dmy dates, and since these articles have a "strong national tie" to the Soviet Union, they should use the same date format as it did. Just so you know why your watchlist exploded. Cheerio. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 04:50, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

I would like to thank you for your detailed study of many Soviet divisions. I have translated some of them into French, although I have chosen to follow the Russian Wiki way of listing formations on separate pages.
I also wanted to inform you that I have proposed splitting 209th Rifle Division into 209th Motorized Division, as these two divisions have different names and histories.
