 The comment the reviewer left was:

The old war thunder wiki doesn’t count as a reliable source and so should be changed, I also suggest more sources should be found to indicate notability and to show that multiple independent and in-depth sources have spoken about this vehicle.

Would removal of the offending source be sufficient or is the lack of sources across the draft the issue? Mateo Birk Haskell (talk) 21:07, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

I’ve just read a little of your new article and it’s far better, so very well done, I can go over it tomorrow if you would like, or you could continue to add more information if you would like. Mwen Sé Kéyòl Translator-a (talk) 23:26, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

Yes changing the sources would help, a lack of sources was an issue but not now, and a military vehicle is (usually) notable, especially in official usage in a nation. Mwen Sé Kéyòl Translator-a (talk) 23:27, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

I appreciate your offer, but I would prefer to add more to the article before asking you to read it in it's entirety. The vehicle I'm attempting to cover has a severe lack of digitally available information not related to video games, so finding reliable sources has proven difficult. Despite this, I've recently located 2 pages of an Army magazine that were digitized so I'm working on adding those as citations. Mateo Birk Haskell (talk) 13:42, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

That’s great, secondly you don’t need online citations, you can use offline sources as well like books. Mwen Sé Kéyòl Translator-a (talk) 17:58, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

So hopefully some offline sources may be easier for you to use, you can cite books if you have any or on Google scholar or Google books you can find from excerpts to cite. Mwen Sé Kéyòl Translator-a (talk) 17:59, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

Sadly, even physical information on the subject is scarce as it was a proposed, privately developed prototype for a foreign nation that was not tested or accepted by the domestic or other nations. I have cited books in another, more complete draft that I'm working on, but that subject has much more information readily available.

I'm estimating I'll probably be resubmitting the draft sometime around Feb 11. Mateo Birk Haskell (talk) 18:44, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

Well perhaps then I’ll look at it or another person will. I hope it goes well for your page. Mwen Sé Kéyòl Translator-a (talk) 17:19, 5 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi Mateo Birk Haskell. Thank you for your work on List of BMP-2 variants. Another editor, Mariamnei, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Thank you for your work on this article. Unfortunately, it is not yet ready for main space. Please add sources and establish notability as per WP:NLIST. I will be moving it to draft. Please feel free to republish once it meets the above criteria. Thanks and have a wonderful day!

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Mariamnei}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

I'm sorry about that, I didn't mean to submit it for review. My intent was to keep it as a draft for quite a while longer. Thank you for noticing my error and correcting it. Mateo Birk Haskell (talk) 12:38, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

Sorry to see that your article on Spookston was declined (although most YouTuber articles are declined), it’s interesting to see another person who watches Spookston, been a fan of him and a couple other WT YouTubers for a couple of months. The Grenadian Historian (Aka. Mwen Sé Kéyòl Translator-a) (talk) 13:23, 25 March 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, I figured a YouTuber page would have a higher standard for acceptance, but it was worth a shot. I was going to add a section about his health issues, but I was a little bit concerned that it might be a little bit of a violation of privacy. Mateo Birk Haskell (talk) 13:38, 25 March 2026 (UTC)
