8/23/23 - Why is this a GA?
[edit]The lede is a bloated 550-word, 4-paragraph mess that doesn't meet WP:GA standards. J. Harrington Inchworm III (talk) 19:58, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
Red Army armour strength
[edit]The paragraph regarding Red Army armour strength alleges that the Soviets fielded an IS-3 prototype, but the source cited does not support this. The IS-3 was not developed until the following year. It's possible that an IS-2 prototype participated (and an IS-2 is displayed at the diorama of the battle in Belgorod), but the source does not appear to specify this. 24.16.132.126 (talk) 16:20, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
Hatnote
[edit]@Hohum: I do not think any source is referring to a battle of Kursk (region) that is happening now, am I wrong? Mellk (talk) 20:04, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
- People are extremely likely to type "battle of Kursk" into Wikipedia at the moment, they will be sent directly to this page, a hatnote allows them go to the page they intended. (Pageviews for this article has increased twentyfold in the last few days). (Hohum @) 20:15, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
"The single largest battle in the history of warfare"
[edit]This is definitely not true and the citations are two random book authors stating it, it's basically their opinion at best.
Quite an absurd statement, if you seriously defend this remaining in the article I think you are extremely silly. 73.194.226.137 (talk) 19:26, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
