108 regiment is only a part of 7 divisions. It is not necessary in article about 108 regiment to include data about command and structure of 7 divisions. --Dobryi TiP (talk) 20:07, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Did you notice that 7th VDD is the only current Russian division without an article? I'm converting the article into an article abnout the 7th Div. Buckshot06(talk)16:58, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Dobryi, let me try to explain. Wikipedia articles can be up to maybe 50-60 kB long. Unfortunately, there is very little available to the majority English-researchers working on this wiki about individual regimental histories. Yet a whole division attracts much more references, sources, and data. This page can grow for a great deal of time and incorporate histories of all the three airborne regiments and the airborne artillery regiment, plus details of operations if regiments were sent to AFghanistan, Operation Dnepr, 1956, other exercises, etc. It will attract more attention. Thus I moved it as I did. The regimental article might stay only 10kb for years because people cannot find the sources. However, if there is a much more detailed and longer historical description of 108 PDP, importantly, with references and sources (Russian or English), that you have access to, we could of course recreate the regimental article.

The two tagged sections need translation (and could probably use expansion); I wouldn't be capable of doing more than transliterating the personal names. I commented out a sentence in the History section that I couldn't make sense of: perhaps someone familiar with Russian idiom will be able to reconstruct it.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 01:37, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
