GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:SS Empire Simba/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Good job on these two articles. The same issues can be seen on both. For one, I would like to see the prose referenced. Also, I would like to see a stub made on both shipbuilding companies. Other than that, these articles look in much better shape than the one that you rushed previously. ṜέđṃάяķvюĨїήīṣŢ ^{Drop me a line} 17:36, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, keep this in mind: Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -   between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 200 tons, use 200 tons, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 200 tons.ṜέđṃάяķvюĨїήīṣŢ ^{Drop me a line} 17:39, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The lead is not cited per WP:LEADCITE and ample precedent. Quantities and units generated by {{convert}} have the non-breaking space inserted automatically. For others, I don't use the  , but instead a keyboard entered hard space " " (option + space bar on a Mac). — Bellhalla (talk) 20:43, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
