I will review. Pyrotec (talk) 13:54, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Does this article need a new reviewer? JonCatalán(Talk) 15:06, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why? Pyrotec (talk) 19:42, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Just asking, since it's been 15 days. ;) JonCatalán(Talk) 19:44, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've been working my way through the article fixing minor problems (see [1] article history). I always tend to do two passes: the first highlighting problems (but its often easier to fixed them, rather than list them here and wait for them to be fixed; and then to do an overall summary. I currently have five GAN reviews on the go and I've passed another two and failed one since 26 September 2010; and I've done no editing for two days. Not an excuse, just a comment. Do you want a new reviewer (I know that you are not the nominator)? Pyrotec (talk) 19:56, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No, no, I just thought the review had gone inactive. Carry on. JonCatalán(Talk) 19:57, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Inital comments[edit]

This article is GA-standard overall, but there are two very minor "problems" that need some attention:

  • The WP:Lead is intended to both introduce the article (which it does well) and to provide a summmary of the main points. As a summary of the main points, the lead mentions the current "highflyers", i.e. the Rear Admiral, but there is no mention of the "pionners", i.e those who served in cutters in the 1820/40s, nor in the various wars. A brief mention, but only brief, of them should be included.
  • Done- I hope. Tony the Marine (talk) 21:32, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Secondly, most of the web citations are "raw", i.e just the url and a title. Fuller citations, such as refs 1 and 2, should be provided for the majority of the existing web-based citations.
  • Done- I hope. Tony the Marine (talk) 19:57, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, these are relatively trivial. So should not take much effort to fix, I then be will be awarding GA. Pyrotec (talk) 20:32, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
