GA

I think that your article is close to GA for a topic like this. The main problem I see it that it is one long section. I am sure that if it is broken up a bit, it will make it through to being a GA. Zoli Elo 04:41, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Last assessed in 2009. Multiple areas missing citations and I am concerned about depth and breadth of coverage as well. This exclusively covers WWII troop sleepers but I've found evidence [1] [2] [3] they were used in WW1 as well. Even if they weren't quite the same as the purpose-built WW2 sleepers, there should be at least some basic background information given. I am also not impressed with the small number of sources in the article. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 22:42, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
