Amaryllis (ship)

(

)

... that the Amaryllis was sunk and used as an artificial reef after being wrecked by Hurricane Betsy in 1965?
ALT1: ... that after the Amaryllis was wrecked by Hurricane Betsy in 1965 in Florida, none of the Greek crewmen spoke English so an interpreter had to be used for them to communicate to the coastguard?

Date and length fine. References 1/10, 2/6/12, 3/4/5, and 7/13 are the same and should be consolidated. Reference 3/4/5 is available online here and the URL should be provided. Also, the references in general should be tidied up with more information provided. I find the citation template convenient. If you have any questions on formatting references, I'll be happy to walk you through it. Review still in progress. Anne (talk) 18:49, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Ref 9 is also available online here and url should be included. I like hook 1, well-formatted and cited. Article is well-written, no copy vios. No photo to check. QPQ not mandatory. Nominator is not creator. I'd be happy to work with either on refs. Two small factual points: destination New Orleans in article, but Baton Rouge in source. Also, another wreck Mercedes in Corridors in article, but not mentioned by name in source. Anne (talk) 20:03, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

I've combined some of the duplicate refs. Rcsprinter (rap) @ 21:22, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

I've revised the two newspaper refs so that they're now available online. I don't think that refs have to have access dates for DYK, although it is preferred. Liked the Surf History Project clippings. Any thoughts on the two factual discrepancies I mentioned above? Anne (talk) 02:44, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Well, as I know nothing about the topic I can't really help with any of the facts. Is that a pass then? Rcsprinter (gossip) @ 08:56, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

If the creator is not available to address the two factual errors/discrepancies, I'll go ahead and make the copy edits myself later today. Anne (talk) 12:56, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Copy edits done. Anne (talk) 10:39, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
