B class review
[edit]@Noclador: C class. This is an excellent article about a famous unit. However, the last paragraph is not cited so it is not yet B class. I suspect that it should have note13, but I would prefer that you fix that. Please ping me when it is fixed so I can upgrade it to B class. Djmaschek (talk) 04:29, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
- I am puzzled why the infobox lists a WWI anniversary when the unit was formed in 1939. There should at least be some explanation for that in the article. Djmaschek (talk) 04:34, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
- Add ping. Djmaschek (talk) 04:48, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Djmaschek: Thank you for the compliment and for taking the time to write me. I assume you meant the paragraph about the unit's equipment? I added a reference to an article about an exercise of the regiment, which lists the equipment used. As for the anniversary: the Italian Army's support units (artillery, engineers, signals, aviation, logistics) do not have individual unit anniversaries: the entire arm or corps has the same anniversary: i.e. for all artillery and engineer units it falls within the Second Battle of the Piave River, for all artillery units it is 15 June 1918 - the day the battle began with a barrage of artillery - and for engineer units the 24 June 1918 - the day engineer units crossed the river's estuary. Signals - an offshoot of the engineers - got a random date between these two (20 June), while for all logistic units it is 22 May 1916 - the Battle of Asiago. Aviation celebrates its founding date (10 May 1953). So it is not a regimental anniversary, but the artillery arm's anniversary. noclador (talk) 12:08, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
- Added to the article: "The regimental anniversary falls, as for all artillery regiments, on June 15, the beginning of the Second Battle of the Piave River in 1918." noclador (talk) 13:43, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Djmaschek: Added the line now to all the artillery units. And will add them to engineer, signals, logistics etc. units too. noclador (talk) 14:07, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
