[edit] Merge

This is not much of an article, serving as only a list of links. Armoured fighting vehicle classification serves a similar purpose, but has a little more meat, and helps explain the main types. There's no reason why that material shouldn't be here, with a bit more of an introduction. —Michael Z. 2006-02-03 19:45 Z

I agree. Bukvoed 12:54, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Done. Thanks for the support. —Michael Z. 2006-02-20 17:31 Z

[edit] innacurate

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).


[edit] incorrect redirect

armored vehicle should not direct to "Armored Fighting Vehicle." I literally am looking for armored (hardened) vehicles such as SUVs, limousines, and others used by diplomats, heads of state, etc.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Cv90 8.jpg

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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:20, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wheeled IFVs

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)
