Talk:LAV III

message: Reverted 205.206.153.235's edit to an earlier one and left the following message on his/her talk page:
The LAV III article you edited refers to the vehicle used by the Canadian and New Zealand militaries.  As such, the information regarding "7 troops" was taken directly from (and referenced to) the Canadian National Defence website, which I invite you to verify.  Upon verification, you will notice that the crew is indeed made up of a vehicle commander, a gunner, a driver, and 7 infantry soldiers — not 8. — Dorvaq (talk) 14:50, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  LAV III Crew 

message: I've yet to find an official source referring to this vehicle as 'Kodiak'.  The name was proposed, but never adopted.  I'm removing references to 'Kodiak' until an official source is cited that describes it as such (DnD, other government sources etc.)

replies: text: It was adopted, at least insofar as was published in all materials presented to the public when adopted. I'm honestly not sure why the name was dropped as it was convention to name all military combat vehicles since they were first introduced over a century ago (i.e the LAV II is still called the Bison, vehicles introduced after the LAV III were named such as the Wolf. And even variants of the LAV III were named such as the LAV III Nanook. trackratte (talk) 07:04, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

message: It is listed here that Saudi Arabia will get 900 modified LAV-III vehicles (called LAV6.0).  None of the references state that these 900 vehicles are modified LAV-III.  In fact, they are not LAV-III/Piranha III chassis at all, and are not called LAV6.0.
However, the Canadian army has purchased 550 LAV6.0 vehicles (as discussed, but not named in paragraph two of the 'Future' section).  These are not the same vehicle/chassis that is being delivered to Saudi Arabia  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.29.4.43 (talk) 21:30, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I've just gone through and cleaned up all of the LAV articles regarding the design history.  As per this pagehttp://tanknutdave.com/the-wheeled-piranha-a-lav-family/, the LAV I (LAV-25) was an in-house upgrade from the AVGP project.  From that point forward, all fo the GM Defense (now GDLS) designs were internally developed.  While similar to the MOWAG concepts, they used all North American sourced systems.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Codesmith (talk • contribs) 11:37, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

Kind of big news, would someone add this to the article? Jurryaany (talk) 20:16, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reduced Saudi Order 

message: As the LAV VI is more than simply another variant of the LAV III (it sits closer to a completely new design given the substantial changes to the hull, engine, and suspension), I think it makes sense that a separate section/sub-section in or after the Variants section should be added detailing the LAV VI. It also makes sense to migrate the information contained in the Development section on the LAV VI to the new section. Burnsnet27 (talk) 23:01, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
