War Tank America

(

)

War Tank America barrels through suburban Boston before breaking down.

... that War Tank America (pictured) – which was equipped with guns, a flamethrower, and a golden crucifix – was so expensive that the U.S. Army needed private donations to pay for it?

Hi Chetsford, review follows: article created 23 June and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and sources used appear to be reliable; image looks OK and is appropriately licensed, the caption is perhaps a bit long and could be trimmed; I don't have access to all of the sources but found no issues with overly close paraphrasing in a spot check; hook is interesting and checks out to the sources cited except on the crucifix the article says that one was to be fitted ("a gold cross will be attached to the front of the fighting tank"), do you have a source confirming one was installed? QPQ awaited - Dumelow (talk) 07:58, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

With apologies to the reviewer, it appears I accidentally wrote an article that already existed (albeit under a distinctly different name). I've self-nominated the article I drafted for CSD and, therefore, request this DYK nomination be closed. Chetsford (talk) 11:27, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
