Tonnage

edit

Four references were given for tonnage, one a diving site (rather than a site devoted to ships); it gives grt at 190. The others support the conclusion that the vessel's tonnage was 147 grt and 190 OM (burthen), which are consistent, as those are separate methods of measurement. I have modified the article accordingly and omitted the diving reference which is the only one to give grt at 190. Kablammo (talk) 23:06, 4 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Seems like an interesting topic, will start soon. AryKun (talk) 12:20, 17 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

See Kablammo's note below.
  • "she began to encounter a storm" → "she encountered a storm"
  • Link wreck.
  • Link for Official number?
  • Link piston, bore, and stroke.
  • Link stern and forward deck.
  • "S.W. Dorsey" → "S. W. Dorsey"
  • "daughter, and his own" → comma unnecessary
  • Flour and kegs don't need links.
  • Link bow anchor.
  • "shore, and one of the group died of exposure" → "and" seems like an inappropriate conjunction here, maybe "although" or something else might be better.
  • "had, passed" → "had passed,"
  • "As of 2020 the" → "As of 2020, the"
  • "The Great Lakes Shipwreck Preservation Society planned to search for her on June 27–28, 2020, and if not found, they planned to search for her on September 12–13." → "The Great Lakes Shipwreck Preservation Society planned to search for her from June 27–28, 2020, and if she was not found, again from September 12–13."
  • Not necessary, but alt text for both images would be nice.
@AryKun: Done. GreatLakesShips (talk) 22:08, 17 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
Nice, will be passing. AryKun (talk) 03:26, 18 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Use of the definite article before a ship's name

edit

See this discussion. The definite article is not required, but is accepted, unless the ship has an HM prefix. Kablammo (talk) 15:24, 17 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Improved to Good Article status by GreatLakesShips (talk). Self-nominated at 16:41, 18 January 2022 (UTC).Reply

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited:  
  • Interesting:  
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.

QPQ:   - To-do
Overall:   Source spot checks look good and the hook is apt. The image is fine in general but you could consider cropping it for front-page display so it becomes clearer for people with larger screens; not a failure criterion, though. Only a QPQ is left to get the nom ready for promotion. Regards, IceWelder [] 19:17, 20 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

@IceWelder: Sorry for doing the QPQ so late. I have been relatively busy in real life, and have been unable to do many wiki-related things. GreatLakesShips (talk) 20:56, 25 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
  Absolutely no need to apologize! Everyone does stuff on their own time. With the QPQ now done, the nom is ready to go. Regards, IceWelder [] 22:20, 25 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Promoting the main hook (ALT0) to Prep 4, without the image. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 16:24, 30 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
