forum_emoticons.html	[quote=Harold B,90181]Since I used the Chi-Ha as the example, I'll lay out all of my 'issues' with them here if you would like to correct them. Type 97 Chi-Ha replicas which are built on the chassis of the GAZ SU-76M, currently under various different categories: https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_468490-Made-for-Movie-Mitsubishi-Type-97-Chi-Ha.html https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1836168-Made-for-Movie-Type-97-Chi-Ha.html https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1659413-Made-for-Movie-Type-97-Chi-Ha.html https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_209804-GAZ-SU-76-M.html https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_209809-GAZ-SU-76-M.html https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_857087-GAZ-SU-76-M.html Perhaps when there's a lot of them like with these they should have their own category? "GAZ SU-76M as Mitsubishi Type 97 Chi-Ha"? Type 97 Chi-Ha replicas which are built on the chassis of the GKN Defence FV 432: https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1444402-Made-for-Movie-Type-97-Chi-Ha.html https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1444391-Mitsubishi-Type-97-Chi-Ha-Kai-Replica-1938.html Others: https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_620088-Mitsubishi-Type-97-Chi-Ha.html - This one I'm pretty sure is meant to be a Mitsubishi Type 2 Ho-I. That was an infantry support tank that used the hull of the Chi-He (the tank that replaced the Chi-Ha, which had squared up frontal armor and a rectangular rear hull, which this replica does) with an enlarged turret. https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1529335-Mitsubishi-Type-97-Chi-Ha-1937.html - This is an animated Type 95 Ha-Go, not a Chi-Ha. There were two versions of the real life Chi-Ha, the early one with a small turret and the later one with a large turret. The later model is normally called Chi-Ha Kai nowadays, "Kai" meaning "improved". "ShinHoTo" used to be more common in Western sources. That means "new turret" transliterated from Japanese. It fell out of favor at least partly because it can be written several different ways, and is more of a slang/informal term. The large turret models are already listed separately under "Mitsubishi Type 97 ShinHoTo Chi-Ha", except for this one which is listed with the normal small turret models: https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_422175-Mitsubishi-Type-97-Chi-Ha.html I would prefer if you would move that one plus the ones under "ShinHoTo Chi-Ha" to "Mitsubishi Type 97 Chi-Ha Kai". That would be more correct, and then they will appear under the normal Chi-Ha category as well.[/quote]

Congratulation for the new job, and thanks for the help :smile:

Missed this one since I added it under the old name and forgot to add it to the list here
White M16 MGMC
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1946289-White-M16-Halftrack.html - remove additional info

remove redundant additional info:
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1636359-White-M16-MGMC.html
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_67867-White-M16-MGMC.html

I will probably slow down on this since I am starting a new job. I got through all makes starting with A and B so far, except for a few which I'm saving for later, to do all the German and British tanks together.

Indeed with so many links to process, it is possible that I miss some :wink:

for the M16 & M15, I remember going back as I renamed both the same way then saw the difference between the two numbers... I guess I modified the wrong one then :whistle:

About using the code field for the unique ID of the vehicle, it is sometimes done for some vehicles (e.g. Rolls-Royce I think), it can still be used for special cases like this one, when there is no other specific model code for that make.

AM General M611 - Origin/built in USA. The ID of Barreiros is wrong, it was being confused for a version produced in Spain, which this is not.
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_139768-Barreiros-M611.html

Borgward B IV - Additional info: Sd.Kfz.301. Years are wrong, and country should be Germany. They go here https://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=Borgward&model=B+IV

Stewart & Stevenson M1078 LMTV - As pointed out in the comments, production of this was turned over to BAE, but literally every other one of them on the site is under Stewart & Stevenson. So either this one should be too, or other ones which were presumably made under BAE should be moved over, and I don't know on what basis to make that distinction.
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_371897-BAE-Systems-M1078-LMTV.html

FMC M113A3 - Same thing as above, but these were made under FMC for sure.
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_685396-BAE-Systems-M113.html

Please set this one as 'Made for UK'. Viking is the British name for this version and it was filmed in the UK.

BAE Systems Caiman TVS
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_768738-BAE-Systems-Caiman.html

The Caiman's US Army designation was M1220 for the basic version, M1230 for the Caiman TVS, and M1248 for the Caiman CMTV. If you want you could add those in the additional info. It isn't super important to me, I just thought I'd let you know.

Some of these vehicles which are made by BAE's subcompany "BAE Systems AB", which is the part of BAE that now owns Hägglunds, are listed under Hägglunds when they really should be under BAE. Hägglunds hasn't existed since 1997, but these tanks still get called Hägglunds since BAE refers to the division that makes them as "BAE Hägglunds".

BAE Systems CV90
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1729685-H%C3%A4gglunds-CV90.html

Hägglunds Stridsfordon 9040
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_545360-H%C3%A4gglunds-Strf-90-40-INF-1993.html - Clear additional info. They only started delivering them in 1994 so 1993 is wrong.

BAE Systems Stridsfordon 9040A
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_212611-H%C3%A4gglunds-Strf-90-40-A-INF-1993.html - clear additional info, it's just a mess of the name being written wrongly. Year is wrong.

BAE Systems Stridsvagn 122
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1817204-H%C3%A4gglunds-Stridsvagn-122.html

BAE Systems CV90120-T - Origin Sweden
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1657071-H%C3%A4gglunds-Stridsvagn-122.html

BAE Systems CV9030N - Additional info: AMAP - Origin: Sweden, Built for Norway
