Convoy GP55

Promoted --Eurocopter (talk) 16:01, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

• Featured article candidates/Convoy GP55/archive1

I'd like to nominate this new article on a convoy battle fought off the Australian east coast in 1943 for A class status. Any comments on how the article could be improved further to reach FA status would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Nick-D (talk) 03:43, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

• Comment(s)
  • No problems reported with disambig or external links. Alt text tool (if I am reading it right) reports some images are in need of alt text, please check and advise.
  • You introduction is a little sparse, any chance of getting another paragraph in there? I think the article could benefit from it.
• Otherwise everything appears in order. Well done. TomStar81 (Talk • Some say ¥€$, I say NO) 06:10, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Thanks Tom. The images look fine to me - I get alternative text displaying when I hold my mouse over them (using the Google Chrome browser) and the tool seems to confirm this. I've added a second para to the introduction per your suggestion. Nick-D (talk) 10:41, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
• Support Looks food. That second paragraph for the intro really helps. I find nothing lack in the article, though I do caution that if you are heading for FAC you may have some trouble with people who evaluate an article based on its size.

• Support I agree that the lead is a little short, but sometimes that can't be helped much. I played around with it a bit, hope you don't mind. One question though: in the lead, it says that I-174 escaped undamaged, but in the body, it says it was lightly damaged. Which one was it? Everything else look good though. Good luck at FAC.
