Talk:Armoured fighting vehicle

message: ive noted that most tank related articals on wikipedia are in serious need of an experts opinion, they did well with the most recent edit of the overall tank page. but i would like to note that armoured cars also fall into the catagory of AFV's. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.41.195.26 (talk) 14:30, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:Cv90 8.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: This article says little about wheeled IFVs such as the ATF Dingo or Force Protection Industries Cougar HE. This is the fastest growing vehicle category, and should probably be mentioned.  Tmaull 21:47, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  I must concur that this list looks reasonable, however it's unclear which is the criteria used to compile it. Number produced? Number of armies using a vehicle? Having been "cutting edge" at IOC/prototype testing? Any other? Please clarify, and provide a "verifiable" source for the "top ten"; as this can be cause of a never-ending dispute. Cheers, DPdH (talk) 00:04, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

text:  By the way, the M3 Bradley ... mainly conducts scout missions and carries two scouts in addition to the regular crew of three (as per wikiarticle M3 Bradley), hence it's not an IFV, so it must be removed from this top-ten IFV list. And as it's a variant of the to the M2 Bradley, this would be twice in the list (anyway!). Cheers, DPdH (talk) 00:09, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

text:  Finally, the Hummvee is NOT an IFV! As per it's own wikiarticle, ...is a military 4WD motor vehicle created by AM General. It has largely supplanted the roles formerly served by the M151 1/4 ton MUTT, the M561 "Gama Goat", their M718A1 and M792 ambulance versions, the CUCV, and other light trucks with the United States military, .... So it must be removed from this top-ten IFV list. Thanks & regards, DPdH (talk) 00:15, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: "Haninag"? sp.? - this is almost certainly the German Hanomag Sd.Kfz. 251 half-track.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.112.49.232 (talk) 10:37, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Is an armoured personnel carrier (APC) an armoured fighting vehicle? If so, shouldn't this article have a summary section about APCs, similar to the sections about tanks etc. On the other hand, if an APC is not an AFV (because it is designed primarily to transport infantry, not for direct combat), then the APC article needs changes. Nurg (talk) 22:29, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Generally an APC is an AFV as although the vehicle is basically a 'battlefield taxi', it is armoured so as to be able to be used on the battlefield, as opposed to being 'soft-skinned' like a truck. Therefore an APC is still a Fighting Vehicle which is why the UK APCs all had FV designations, e.g., FV432, FV603 Saracen, etc.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.112.49.232 (talk) 10:46, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Should monowheel afv's be mentioned seperatly ?Monowheel afv's are I believe not tracked since the "wheel" is rigid and not loosely transformable (not sure whether it contains air)?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.176.6.252 (talk) 11:01, 16 June 2009 (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: Da Vinci's wheeled, cannon-carrying vehicle and his circumfolgore were different things. The former did not have the paddles et cetera that a recent edit claims, or anything that might suggest amphibiousness, and the latter was designed as an actual boat carrying radial cannon on a rotating platform.
I think it's also time to stop perpetuating the idea that his cannon carrier was "a tank" or in some way a direct ancestor. It doesn't meet Wikipedia's definition. It would have been - just - an AFV, but not a tank. Hengistmate (talk) 20:27, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Circumfolgore, etc. 

message: I have found no definitive proof that the number of crew was eight. There are no crewmen visible in the sketches. Have also altered text to reflect that this was a) a theoretical design that was not built, and b) a sketch, not a worked-out drawing. No need to mention animals, since da Vinci did not envisage animal propulsion in the sketches as they stand. Hengistmate (talk) 15:22, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
