Around September of 2014, I began the still-ongoing Iron Man Armor overhaul. An example of how helpful has this project been is the page for Iron Man Armor Model 1 (which has gone from looking like this to looking like this). Of course, this is going kinda slow because this project began to go hand in hand with my Iron Man comics overhaul (which consists of reading every Iron Man story since 1963 in my own leisure and improving the pages for comic and character articles), so I'm only at the Model 2 armor after starting reading in mid-October. My project will go even as far as improving, expanding and rewording articles I worked on fairly recently and even created.

My plan is for this overhaul to extend to other Iron Man related suits of armor, specially War Machine, Iron Patriot and Rescue. And here are some things I would like to bring up:

War Machine:
 * Should we rename the different War Machine Armor articles with tentative designations similar to how we've been naming the Iron Man Armor since Model 38? (The reasoning behind this tentative numeration is explained in the "Notes" section of said page, and that of the other armor up to Model 53)
 * The original War Machine Armor started as an Iron Man Armor, Model 11, to be more specific. However, when Jim Rhodes donned the mantle of Iron Man, he was given the MK II version of this armor. This MK II was only worn by Rhodes, while the MK I was worn only by Stark. Considering how iconic is the Model 11 MK II for Rhodey, should we split up Iron Man Armor Model 11 and have information regarding the MK II in "War Machine Armor Model 1"?
 * In case we do not split the information regarding Model 11 MK II into "War Machine Armor Model 1" but we do proceed with the tentative designation, what should we do with the name of the other War Machine suits? Should we start with "War Machine Armor Model 1" or "Model 2" (because the Model 1 would technically be the Iron Man Model 11)?

Iron Patriot:
 * So far, we have only one article for the Earth-616 Iron Patriot Armor. However, at some point in the comics Jim Rhodes wore his own Iron Patriot Armor. Should we split Iron Patriot Armor into "Iron Patriot Armor Model 1" (Osborn's) and "Iron Patriot Armor Model 2" (Rhodes')?
 * Splitting the page would also help because we'd have a place to make a disambiguation for Iron Patriot suits. Right now we have one called Iron Patriot Armors, but "armors" is gramatically incorrect as "armor" doesn't have a plural form.

Rescue:
 * So far we have only one page for all of Rescue's suits, Iron Man Armor Mark 1616, while the name of the page itself should only apply to the original Rescue Armor.
 * Because of this we'd need to split the page. Should we also use tentative designations and go ahead and create "Rescue Armor Model 1," "Rescue Armor Model 2," and "Rescue Armor Model 3"?
 * It can be said that "Rescue Armmor Model 1" should simply be named "Iron Man Armor Mark 1616," after all, that's the name given to the suit. But under a similar principle, Iron Man Armor Model 29 should be named "Iron Man Bio/Metallo-Mimetic Suit Series MK III" and Iron Man Armor Model 37 should be named "Stark Enhancile MK X." We don't use those fancy names because it's easier to name them with the simple convention of "Iron Man Armor NN," which is supported by both Iron Manuals and handbooks.

It's not curcial to reach a consensus right now, considering I'll only move to the War Machine, Iron Patriot and Rescue suits pages after finishing more than 40 different suits from more than 50 years of publication. And at the time of this message, I've read roughly only one year worth of comics (from ToS #39 up to #58).
