forum_emoticons.html	[quote=Harold B,90532]Something important; no version of the M60 was ever called "Patton". This was a decision the Army explicitly made during design to separate the M60 from the M48. So please remove that.

I thought that it is what you meant, I didn't get that I only had to remove the extra info from these :grin:

You made a mistake, you put the Made for Movie Hanomag Sd.Kfz.251 under M74 by accident

M48A5K missing the name Patton

Quote From: Harold B

Since you started removing the quotes from the General names, would you like me to make a list of the categories which still have them?

No need of a detailed list, just a basic list of the names that should be modified allows me to find them when needed. I'm still not sure if I want to already change them now or wait that I have a solution to avoid dead link (I usually removed quotes on those that had very few occurrences on the site, or for "new" model names)

So there is:
Patton
Abrams
Sherman
Walker Bulldog
Lee
Magach

and maybe a few others?

Still to do: post with M60s here above.

https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_452277-Chrysler-M48-A3--Patton-.html (The vehicles in the pictures in the comments of this entry are M48A3s, they should be split into their own entries. Should I just add them new, or what is the proper way to do that?)

In this case (background vehicle in a series that seem more documentary than usual-style series) maybe it is not worth a separate page.

Updated, thanks

Thanks for resetting my account antp, I got back in now. I just hope that doesn't happpen again.

I went over everything and it all looks good. There are only a couple of things, mostly stuff that was overlooked or was my mistake.

The M4A3E4s are missing the name Sherman
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=Fisher&model=M4+A3+E4&modelMatch=1&modelInclModel=- on

'HVSS' can be removed from the additional info here, since now it's in the name
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1938431-Pressed-Steel-M4-A1--Sherman-.html

Remove "75(W)" from the additional info. Ford didn't make wet ammo stowage Shermans. That's what the W signifies.
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_183392-Fisher-M4-A3--Sherman--1944.html
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_115044-Fisher-M4-A3--Sherman--1944.html

"Modified" can be removed from the additional info
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_286535-Fisher-M4-A2--Sherman-.html

This is a real, Chrysler M4A3 (76)W HVSS Sherman. I must have put in under the made for movie ones by mistake.
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_575377-Pressed-Steel-M4-A1--Sherman--1942.html

The four Sherman IC Firefly's should have "Hybrid" added as additional info, as they have the composite half-cast half-welded hull, which not all of them had.
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicles_make-Chrysler_model-M4+Sherman+IC+27.html

These M4A1s can be identified as Montreal Locomotive Works Grizzly's because of the particular tracks and drive sprockets they used. So they go here https://www.imcdb.org/vehicles_make-Montreal+Locomotive_model-M4.html
All Grizzlys were made in 1943

Thanks for your help :smile:

I still have to do some cleanup by removing unnecessary spaces and quotes on some models
