Spanish Tanks

I've worked on these five articles in the past six or so months, and I believe that it's ready to be nominated as a featured topic. The topic represents tanks developed (at least partially, such as is the case for the AMX-30E and the Leopard 2E) in Spain. All five articles are featured articles. Thank you.

• Support - Excellent work, plus is that they're all featured. Ceran →(cheer→chime →carol) 13:41, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - topic needs a rename I think. "Spanish Tanks" implies to me all types of tanks used by Spain, not just those types developed by Spain. Could we call it "Tanks developed by Spain" or something? rst20xx (talk) 17:12, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  Well, originally it was going to be "Tanks in the Spanish Army", which would imply that the topic was on all tanks used by the Spanish Army. In this case, the title is just "Spanish Tanks" (or tanks developed by Spain). JonCatalán^(Talk) 17:43, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  Does "Spanish Tanks" imply only tanks developed by Spain though? rst20xx (talk) 21:06, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  Well, the way I see it is that there's a difference between a "Spanish tank" like the Leopard 2E or the Verdeja and an American M47 Patton tank used by the Spanish Army. But, I mean, the topic could easily be renamed. It just seems to me that it will mislead the reader when he or she actually clicks on the topic header to get to the main article.

• Support with title re-named to 'Tanks developed by Spain' or some version of that. Skinny87 (talk) 19:52, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Support but "Tanks developed by Spain" seems unnecessarily wordy to me. If I say "German cars" or "Japanese cars" that would not imply cars driven in Germany or Japan, but rather cars developed by German or Japanese manufacturers. Similarly, "Spanish tanks" would most logically mean tanks developed or built by Spain. I favor the current topic name. Rreagan007 (talk) 04:56, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Support - Rreagan007 makes a good analogy... I guess in light of this I'm not too bothered about renaming, but either way I think it's time I showed my support ;) rst20xx (talk) 14:47, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Support - I agree with the users above about the main article name, but Spanish refers to Spaniards, so its okay. In addition, the topic is interesting and is complete.--SRX 18:44, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
