- Disambig links: Fix Weymouth Harbour link.
- Done, now goes to Weymouth Harbour, Dorset which redirects to Weymouth, Dorset (content about the harbour currently seems to be entwined throughout that article). Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 10:22, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
- Reference check: 2 issues found
- Greyham Neilson's Vision (info) [adventureundersail.com] - dead link
- Astrid Plundered (info) [eveningecho.ie] - dead link
Comments: This article has one major issue that jumps out. It uses past tense while the ship is still in existence, meaning that all the tenses need to be switched until it is actually destroyed. Quite often some of these ships are restored after being condemned to the yards, and if it hasn't happened yet, it might not happen at all.
- "As built, W.U.T.A. had a gross register tonnage of 182; she was 143 net register tonnage with a capacity of 123 tons under her deck." - cite please.
- Done. I think the note was obscuring this reference (#13); I've now removed the note along with reformatting the numbers as per the #Notes section above. I guess the ref could be included multiple times in that paragraph if that would help make it clearer still. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 11:51, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
- "Her dimensions were 30.75 metres (100.9 ft) length, 6.49 metres (21.3 ft) beam and 2.90 metres (9.5 ft) depth." - Cite please, the note is just on conversion.
- Could you please expand on the details of the Astrid Trust?
- HRH is at an issue with WP:HONORIFICS
- "Astrid Trust was wound up" - please fix this "wound up" matter.
- "Astrid had two deckhouses: one at the stern with navigational equipment and maps, and another forward containing a bar. The lower deck had twelve 2-person cabins (of which three could be used as 3-person cabins) as well as showers, toilets and a galley.[28]" - Please join the above lines or expand, because this section is extremely short on details and risks the article's focused coverage.
- "GPS Atlas" is a redlink(Fine if notable) and if its a ship, should be in italics
- "Finland – Sailing Ships". Lets Talk Stamps. 26 March 2011 is a blog, could you not get another source for the information?
All in all, its short and could use some additional details and coverage given that the vessel has been around for 90 years. It is just a borderline GA with the fixes right now, so please put some more content into it. I'll place this on hold. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 15:15, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thank for the review Chris. :-) I'm travelling at the moment so it might be a while before I can tackle these points. On your last one, I've looked fairly hard for as many references as I could find here, do you have any suggestions of places I could find references I might have overlooked? Thanks.

- I gotchu I gotchu :) Already added the ref. Good luck with the review! Newyorkadam (talk) 00:25, 6 January 2014 (UTC)Newyorkadam
- P.S. Are you the same Mike Peel from Wikimedia UK?
- P.P.S. I found the ref by googling "ship astrid stamps -queen" (because Queen Astrid kept on clogging my results)
- P.P.P.S. Here's another ref I found that I hope helps. I didn't add it into the article though.
- I'll see what I can dig up, but let me know when you can dedicate some time to it Mike Peel. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:57, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
- I've just added a ref to [1], which I just stumbled across. It looks pretty definite to me that the ship is going to be broken up rather than restored again, so I think the use of past tense in this article is justified. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 07:48, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
- P.P.P.S. Here's another ref I found that I hope helps. I didn't add it into the article though.
- I disagree... but I do see that it is inherently likely. The tense matter however makes it seem as if it was already done. Let's not worry about it though. The source is interesting, could you add the details form the "Scheepslog" section as it is indeed additional information that helps out. I'll leave this open so you can finish your work.
