Auto peer review suggestions[edit]

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and may or may not be accurate for the article in question.

Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at WP:LEAD. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.^[1]
Per WP:CONTEXT and WP:MOSDATE, months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide context for the article.
Per WP:MOS, avoid using words/phrases that indicate time periods relative to the current day. For example, recently might be terms that should be replaced with specific dates/times.^[2]
There may be an applicable infobox for this article. For example, see Template:Infobox Biography, Template:Infobox School, or Template:Infobox City.^[3] (Note that there might not be an applicable infobox; remember that these suggestions are not generated manually)
Per WP:MOS#Headings, headings generally do not start with the word "The". For example, ==The Biography== would be changed to ==Biography==.
Please alphabetize the interlanguage links.^[4]
This article is a bit too short, and therefore may not be as comprehensive as WP:WIAFA critera 2(b) is looking for. Please see if anything can be expanded upon.
Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
- Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “~~All~~ pigs are pink, so we thought of ~~a number of~~ ways to turn them green.”
This article needs footnotes, preferably in the cite.php format recommended by WP:WIAFA. Simply, enclose inline citations, with WP:CITE or WP:CITE/ES information, with <ref>THE FOOTNOTE</ref>. At the bottom of the article, in a section named “References” or “Footnotes”, add <div class="references-small"><references/></div>.^[5]
The article will need references. See WP:CITE and WP:V for more information.
Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that the it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 2a. ^[6]

Southampton[edit]

Several Southampton Football Club players worked for Harland and Wolff in the city; e.g. George Reader and Jim McAlpine, although the article doesn't appear to mention that the company operated from anywhere other than Belfast. Can anyone shed any light on this? --Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 13:28, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Where these part of the Soton Co. Union Men aka Scum that led to the hatred between Portsmouth and their neighbours ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.243.45.71 (talk) 12:16, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article mention the yard's Glasgow facility, but not Southampton or Liverpool. This gives some information. Stu ^{’Bout ye!} 14:25, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of the secterian aspect of their employees ? Very few if any Catholics were given jobs at the place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.243.45.71 (talk) 12:14, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict history[edit]

Shouldn't there be mention that H&W was the scene of bitter sectarian conflict from at least 1912, in the 1920s and again in the 1970s? That thousands of people were driven from their jobs there and sometimes worse during times of political strife? I can appreciate that people don't want every NI article to be about the Troubles, but not mentioning it at all is too much.Jdorney (talk) 23:49, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Be bold, add it in! JonC ^Talk 21:55, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded - I came here because of the Short Strand article mentioned sectarian employment policies in passing, but this article didn't mention anything about it. 217.43.46.72 (talk) 23:53, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Error?[edit]

What's with the entry "RMMV Arlanza, launched on 13 April 1960, maiden voyage 7 Octobe 2233 Joyce Ave"? Looks like the date of the voyage has been overwritten by a street address here. -- Khazar2 (talk) 17:14, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
