Are citations to that blog not allowed on Wikipedia? There are numerous official documents posted there. To clarify, you're removed them from the IS tank family and Kliment Voroshilov tank and I'm not sure why. --MaxRavenclaw (talk) 12:31, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

In general, blogs are not allowed, no matter how useful they appear. Prior to my revert other editors engaged and removed it before, as it does not meet the requirements given by WP:RS and WP:SPS. Also, it rather seem to be a soapboxing attempt to rise publicity. That's why I removed it too. PatersonJersey (talk) 16:29, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

I understand. It's a pity because there are a lot of official soviet documents scanned there but I see your point. Thanks.--MaxRavenclaw (talk) 18:34, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Kwk 36 accuracy

I've stumbled upon an issue I'd like to discuss with you. This is from Thomas JENTZ's Germany's TIGER Tanks - Tiger I and II: Combat Tactics published in 1996 p. 9. The pic you provided was from Tiger 1 Heavy Tank 1942-45 published in 1993, page 17. As you can see, there are some changes in the newer book. The question is, which one do we trust? Both are Jentz, and I can't email him like I did Zaloga for clarifications. I'd go with the 1996 book, especially since it is impossible to have 100% accuracy at any range in real combat. --MaxRavenclaw (talk) 18:46, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Stick with the newer book, I wasn't aware about his additional narrative when I made the edit to resolve a dead link. You actually can replace them, to clarify it even further. Thank you. PatersonJersey (talk) 19:24, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

I did it on my own and fixed another issue. PatersonJersey (talk) 20:09, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

I'm glad we reached an accord. For a while there I was afraid you're just another wehraboo. I'm glad I was wrong about you. I look forward to working with you in the future, you have good sources and you spurred me to research further myself. We make a good team. Cheers! --MaxRavenclaw (talk) 08:13, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Could you please visit Talk:8.8 cm KwK 36. User:Denniss does not agree that the second column is not combat accuracy, despite the evidence. --MaxRavenclaw (talk) 10:08, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
