Hi Chetsford, great idea for an article. Review: created 21 November and exceeds minimum length; sources used look generally reliable (I am not sure about destroyerhistory.org but it is only used to cite the complement of the destroyer involved); article is fully cited inline; I don't have access to all the sources but didn't pick up on any issues with overly close paraphrasing in a spotcheck; Earwig score is high but only because of the quoted article form the convention (which is PD and appropriate); image is PD (source states from Department of Defense); I can't access the sources cited for the hook but it is stated in the article so I will AGF; QPQ awaited but otherwise looks good - Dumelow (talk) 21:58, 21 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, Dumelow - QPQ now done! (For Destroyer History - I did some research on it a couple years ago and posed a question at RSN . It didn't get much interest/response, unfortunately.) Chetsford (talk) 22:15, 21 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Looks good. I think the additional info you've provided at RSN helps demonstrate reliability - Dumelow (talk) 06:15, 22 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
