message: Where does the name Tetrarch come from? The Roman Imperial Political organization of the same name?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.208.36.159 (talk) 23:12, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's the origin of the word, but the tank was probably named that because of the FOUR wheels each side - (tetra-). Ian Dunster (talk) 10:01, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Y'see, I thought that as well, but none of my sources confirm it. Loads of other info on it, including it's nickname, but not why it was named that. Might take a trip down to the IWM one day and see if I can find out. Skinny87 (talk) 10:16, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Best of luck though I suspect it was named that by some now-unknown classically educated civil servant at the War Office. Ian Dunster (talk) 11:21, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

message: "better cross-country abilities" Does lower complexity & less tendency to break down, due to no tracks, play into that, also?  TREKphiler hit me ♠  08:37, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know, Trekphiler. The sources don't say. I won't revert now, but would you mind asking on the talk-page before making big changes to the article? I put a lot of hard work into it and want to take it to FA. Skinny87 (talk) 10:13, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank-you for the new wikilinks and the info about it being considered as a cruiser-type tank; I didn't have that info. I apologize for above, but I get a little antsy when I start seeing people adding a lot of stuff to articles I've worked for a while at, I've had bad experiences before.

*Use of the word "Tetrarchs" is annoying me a bit; seems a bit clumsy. In situations where the reader already knows what you are talking about, i.e "As a result, the majority of the Tetrarchs produced remained in Britain" may I suggest simply changing it to "tanks" or "vehicles"?

*Maneuver; change to manoeuvre? British tank, British spelling, although Maneuver is also used in Britain. Ironholds (talk) 16:31, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll get to work on the first bit; I'm not sure about spellings really, so I think I'll just leave it consistent as it is. Skinny87 (talk) 16:42, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair enough. Much of what I'd normally suggest has already been covered, either during your editing or by the FA reviewers. I'd advise taking it back to them and asking if they can spot any issues (sorry I wasn't much help). Ironholds (talk) 18:14, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey, even those comments have helped, so thanks! Skinny87 (talk) 18:43, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Should the Article name be Light Tank Mk VII Tetrarch - which would seem to follow British tank naming conventions ? --Jim Sweeney (talk) 12:14, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Might not be a bad idea, with 'Tetrarch (tank) as a redirect'. If you want to move it, I don't think it would be controversial at all :) Skinny87 (talk) 12:28, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
