- This is a US topic, so US spellings should be used - should also give the US measurements first.
Done
- Not done - I still see multiple cases like "12.7 mm (0.50 in)"

- What makes dutcheastindies.web.com a reliable source? Same with marmon-herrington.webs.com. The latter is blocked by my work filter, which doesn't seem to be a good sign.
- Cites 5 and 7 are unecessary. Cite 8's sources in the bibliography could be reliable. Cite 9 relies on a self-published book, so I guess it's unreliable.--Tomandjerry311 (need to talk?) 14:48, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
- All of those cites removed.--Tomandjerry311 (need to talk?) 13:58, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
- I believe "turretless" is correct, not "turret-less"
Done
- Link chassis to hull, amphibious warfare, J. Walter Christie, link Samoa on the first use
Done
- Remove the duplicate links to the M2 and vehicle armor in the variants section
- There are no dup links there.--Tomandjerry311 (need to talk?) 15:37, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
- You got the one for vehicle armor, but the M2 is already linked in the Design and development section - the article is not long enough to warrant more than one in the body. Parsecboy (talk) 18:40, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

- Where does the figure of ~700 tanks produced come from?
- The caption for the last photo states it's a CTLS-3, which does not appear to be among the variants listed. Is it a CLT-3? Or a CLTS-4 of some variety?
Done
- According to Estes' book, the CTLS provided the basis for the CTM, which should be mentioned somewhere.
Done
- Also according to Estes, the 1st and 2nd Separate Tank Companies were formed in June 1942 to man the M-H tanks, and these were later sent to Samoa - Zaloga mentions that 20 of these were the CTL-6 variant
Done
- Zaloga mentions a CTL-3M variant, and that the earlier CTL-3s were rebuilt to this standard in 1941
Done
- Zaloga also states that the CTL series was the first tank to be built to USMC requirements - this is a notable bit of info
Done
- The article omits the reasons the CTL series was rejected - according to Zaloga, the tanks "proved to be a disappointment because its light weight and small size had led to too many compromises, including a fragile power train and weak armor."
Done
- What you've got here is a little too close to Zaloga's wording (particularly "led to too many compromises") - please reword to avoid issues with close paraphrasing.

- Este's other book, Marines Under Armor gives more detail on the procurement history - the Google Books scan doesn't have page numbers, so you'd need to get a hard copy, but they appear to be pretty plentiful. Parsecboy (talk) 19:13, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Ordering one, may take one or two weeks to arrive.--Tomandjerry311 (need to talk?) 15:09, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
