		On behalf of the Milhist coordinators, I hereby award you the WikiChevrons, for placing first in the January 2016 Military History Article Writing Contest with an incredible 113 points from 22 articles. Cheers, AustralianRupert (talk)

Thanks and further article ideas

Thanks for your continued work. If you're considering future things to do, the 44th, 46th, 48th Armies are very thinly written. We should probably concentrate on filling in and referencing existing army articles, before we push on for the last few armies. Thanks again for all your hard work.

Also, regarding Heroes of the Soviet Union, I've just added at 383rd Rifle Division (Soviet Union)#Formation a passage from Ruwiki which mentions three Heroes, all of which you might be interested in checking for Ruwiki articles, or articles for us. This will also help future articles for the 393rd and 395th Rifle Divisions. Buckshot06 (talk) 07:33, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

@Buckshot06 - All three had ruwiki articles and I will eventually create all three. I'm going to start with Ivan Zinoviev, because he had the shortest career, as Zinoviev was captured at Izyum and later shot while attempting to escape. Kges1901 (talk) 10:07, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Kges1901, and especially for putting in the link at the 383 RD that I missed!! Buckshot06 (talk) 10:14, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Urals-Lvov

You gave me a fright for a moment there!! I thought for a moment the division had reformed, rather than the VKhVT becoming a brigade. "The Russians are coming" - for a half a second!! We're going to have to move the article to something like 1st Guards Urals-Lvov Tank Brigade. Cheers Buckshot06 (talk) 00:03, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Divisional Cavalry Regiment (New Zealand)

I apologize for taking so long to get to the article. My computer wasn't working for a few days. Corinne (talk) 00:19, 6 February 2016 (UTC) I started reading the article (and got a little side-tracked reading some linked articles). I got through the lead and a little beyond. While I didn't see any errors, the sentences could be improved so that they flow a bit better, but since I know so little about this subject matter, I'd rather let someone else work on this. It's just not the right article for me. I hope you understand. I'm sure another editor at GOCE will pick it up. Corinne (talk) 02:28, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
