Maritime history of Florida edit

This article is a brand new article that popped up about a week ago. Several users from WikiProject Florida and I have decided it'd be a good candidate for Featured Status and thus are putting it through peer review for that purpose. All suggestions are welcome, including formatting, spelling, grammar, copyright violations, images, and missing information. Thanks. -- PRueda29 / ^Ptalk29 / ^Pcontribs29 16:31, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Some good stuff here. Suggestions:

The signal flags are minimally relevant, and add nothing; same for the pirate flag and the flag of Florida; There are plenty of images already, such that it's pretty cluttered. All of the flags should go.
The References section needs work; use a proper bibliographic citation format, with title, publication, author, etc... I also like having footnotes or Harvard style citations within the text, so I know what sources were used for what parts; others may disagree on this. See WP:CITE and related.
I strongly prefer writing out most round numbers using words; so "six hundred soldiers" not "600 soldiers". As I recall the Manual of Style agrees.
More details on the growth of recreational boating in Florida would be good; I don't know specifics, but it's certainly a huge industry there. All we have now is "Florida may well hold the record for the number of pleasure boats..." - that's not an encyclopedic way to say it, and it's not very informative. When did this start? Any notable government initiatives to help it grow? How much is spent on pleasure boating?

I removed the flag of florida and the pirate flag, and also did part three with the round numbers. --Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 01:28, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
