  • This is a US topic, so US spellings should be used - should also give the US measurements first.  Done
  • Not done - I still see multiple cases like "12.7 mm (0.50 in)"  Done
  • I believe "turretless" is correct, not "turret-less"  Done
  • Link chassis to hull, amphibious warfare, J. Walter Christie, link Samoa on the first use  Done
  • Remove the duplicate links to the M2 and vehicle armor in the variants section
  • You got the one for vehicle armor, but the M2 is already linked in the Design and development section - the article is not long enough to warrant more than one in the body. Parsecboy (talk) 18:40, 15 August 2016 (UTC)  DoneReply
  • Where does the figure of ~700 tanks produced come from?
  • The caption for the last photo states it's a CTLS-3, which does not appear to be among the variants listed. Is it a CLT-3? Or a CLTS-4 of some variety?  Done
  • According to Estes' book, the CTLS provided the basis for the CTM, which should be mentioned somewhere.  Done
  • Also according to Estes, the 1st and 2nd Separate Tank Companies were formed in June 1942 to man the M-H tanks, and these were later sent to Samoa - Zaloga mentions that 20 of these were the CTL-6 variant  Done
  • Zaloga mentions a CTL-3M variant, and that the earlier CTL-3s were rebuilt to this standard in 1941  Done
  • Zaloga also states that the CTL series was the first tank to be built to USMC requirements - this is a notable bit of info  Done
  • The article omits the reasons the CTL series was rejected - according to Zaloga, the tanks "proved to be a disappointment because its light weight and small size had led to too many compromises, including a fragile power train and weak armor."  Done
  • What you've got here is a little too close to Zaloga's wording (particularly "led to too many compromises") - please reword to avoid issues with close paraphrasing.  Done
