Comment

[edit]
  • The article mainly talks about the history. Maybe add another section "Today" and describe the current situation.
    • I've added a few words to indicate that it's been at the same location since 1989.
  • Or make a separate section for specifications.
    • I've separated design/development and testing into two top=level sections, and added a bit more about the specifications. How does that look?
  • Also move the citation from lead WP:CITELEAD.
    • CITELEAD allows citations in the lede if needed. In this case, it was added because an editor was arguing about the correct capitalization of the name.
      • If not arguing anymore (I don't find any), I will prefer removing that. Maybe add it here "1971 to manage the State-of-the-Art Car (SOAC) project."  Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe  08:06, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Maybe add a note for Lo- and Hi-density, why they are Lo and Hi instead of Low and High. Its something new for first time readers like me.
    • I don't have an explanation for that, other than "the 70s were a weird time"...
  • "(The other two operating..." the bracket starts but doesnt end.
    •  Done

Thanks for the comments! I believe I've addressed all so far. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 05:09, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • One more thing. Describe the mixed reactions of operating agencies, like how they were opposite to people's reactions as they dropped the project.
    • I've added what I can; the source doesn't say much.
  • Also add the scrapping year in infobox. Other than these, I dont find any other issues.  Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe  08:06, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • None were scrapped. I've added the number preserved.
      • Yeah, preserved...

Congrats, passed.  Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe  18:44, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
