GA Review[edit]

  • So Mutiny is just a common name for the event, which technically wasn't a mutiny? The lead might need some clarification/expansion on what exactly happened (unless the limit of what happened is they commented angrily to the AOC).
    • Added a little bit about not being a real mutiny to the lead. Does that read all right? — Bellhalla (talk) 13:42, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think the Background section image should go in the top right corner instead.
    • Moved. Since it's now a lead image, I set it to 300 pixels. — Bellhalla (talk) 13:42, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The ship chosen, Princess Matoika..." - the way this is written would imply that you've already said something about another ship being chosen.... you haven't. Basically context is needed.
    • The previous paragraph mentions the ship USAT Northern Pacific being declared unseaworthy by the U.S. Army. Does this need more context than that? — Bellhalla (talk) 13:42, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Nah, it's OK now. —Giggy 23:01, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think the stuff in the References sections should be in (relatively) small print (I haven't seen any article do that in that context).
    • This was a spinoff article from USS Princess Matoika (ID-2290) which had a *long* list of references; I had chosen the smaller size for that article just to save space. I agree that here, the list of references isn't that long and doesn't really need the smaller size. — Bellhalla (talk) 13:42, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "the sprinters and hurdlers were provided only a 70-yard (64 m) cork track on which to practice" - should probably note that they run 100m at least in their races.
  • ""everything possible to improve conditions"" - this quote needs a reference.

And that's the lot - interesting read, so thanks for that! Please leave me a note when done with this. —Giggy 10:24, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
