- The majority of aircraft articles have split each variant up into sections Ajpralston1 (talk) 17:48, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
- The list works well when you can tag it to a difference in designation. That's not the case here, IMO.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:56, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

There are a few small issues with this article which if resolved will cause it to become good article. The issues are;
- Prototype differences needs some sources/citations
- There weren't any differences between the single prototype and the early production aircraft as far as I can tell.
The list of specifications in the Development section, none of it is sourced. For all I know it could be made up!Ajpralston1 (talk) 17:48, 21 October 2009 (UTC)- Done
- There weren't any differences between the single prototype and the early production aircraft as far as I can tell.
- Variant section needs to have the variants seperated rather than embedded within the text
- Not required by WP:AVIMOS
- More pictures IF possible
- Remove red internal links
- Redlinks are not a GA criterion. See WP:GACR--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:39, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
I believe that this article then meets the good article criteria and thus it reaches good article status. Nice one. Ajpralston1 (talk) 15:06, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
Comment
[edit]- This is a personal complaint, but I don't like the list discussing changes in the prototypes. It would be better if it was written out.
- I don't agree.
- What about the performance of the first to third prototypes? Handling etc? Citations? I don't see any attached to the list.
- There was only the one prototype, the fourth I-200. I have no information on how it performed in comparison to any production MiG-3.
- I think the variants section should be a list rather than blurb
- I'll think about this, but I'm not inclined to put this into list format as I don't see any advantages to doing so.
- What was the difference between the PBP-1A and PBP-1 gunsights? Dapi89 (talk) 17:12, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
- Unknown, my source doesn't say.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:36, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
