GA Review

[edit]
This review is transcluded from Talk:MS West Honaker/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Hi! I will be reviewing this article for GA status, and should have the full review up within a couple of hours. Dana boomer (talk) 23:52, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    • World War II section, "experienced some sort of problem that necessitated her salvage" Is salvage the right word to use in this situation? I always thought that to salvage a boat meant basically to take everything you could use off of it after it was no longer usable for service. This could just be me though... :)
      • The marine concept of "salvage" is somewhat murky, for me, at least. I would agree that your thought is what most people would think of as salvage, but in another ship article I wrote, the ship ran aground and another ship that freed her was awarded a percentage for the "salvage" (towing off the rocks) of the grounded ship. I think that reading between the lines of the source (all OR, of course), that it's possible that West Honaker had run aground and was freed and towed into Baltimore. It's also possible, but less likely that she had been damaged by a submarine attack (though no record of it at uboat.net) or perhaps hit a mine. Can you suggest an alternative wording? — Bellhalla (talk) 03:39, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • Perhaps along the lines of "...of problem that resulted in the ship needing to be towed back to Boston, where she arrived on June 4". Or something like that? Honestly, if the source says "salvage", then it's fine to leave it at salvage, but I just find it a little confusing.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:

I just have one minor question about the prose, but this in itself isn't enough to prevent the article from being promoted to GA status. Therefore, I am passing the article. If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a note. Dana boomer (talk) 00:03, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
