List of tanks in the Spanish Civil War is a former featured list candidate. Please view the link under Article milestones below to see why the nomination failed. Once the objections have been addressed you may resubmit the article for featured list status.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that out of 281 T-26tanks supplied to the Popular Front(example pictured), the Nationalists were able to capture 178 during the war, putting at least 50 into service against their former users?
The article uses the term Popular Front to refer to forces opposed to the Nationalists. I'm not sure this is the best term. The Popular Front was the political coalition that government Spain, and the term does not necessarily encompass some of those who fought alongside the Popular Front but weren't coalition members. Also, the coalition broke apart before the Republic fell. I think the term "Republicans" is probably best. Are there reasons to prefer "Popular Front" to "Republicans"?--Bkwillwm (talk) 05:04, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The spanish civil war uses the phrase "Republicans" (which i think many English speakers would recognise) and also Ejército Popular Republicano ("Republican Popular Army") to define the military force including the automously-minded Basques and Catalonians.GraemeLeggett (talk) 12:31, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Furthermore, at the time, the Basques did not consider themselves part of the Second Republic; they had been fighting for autonomy since 1933. JonCatalán(Talk) 15:05, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There is only an entry for tanks captured by the Nationalists. A short note could be added to explain that the Republicans never captured and used Nationalist equipment just to clarify that it is not an omission. GraemeLeggett (talk) 12:25, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have no verifiable source to make that claim. JonCatalán(Talk) 15:03, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
