I shall be reviewing this article against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status.

Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
The prose is reasonably wll written. I made a number of copy edits for style and grammar. diff. In parts it is a little stilted and could do with expert attention from copy-editors, if you wish to take this further.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
I assume good faith for all off-line sources. The one online source checked out fine.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
The article is very thorough and focussed on the subject.
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
It might be good to get a copy of the company logo for the infobox. A couple more pictures of the boats would be good as well. (I speak as someone whyo has worked ferries).
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

OK, this is fine for GA status, but the prose could be improved further. I am happy to pass this as GA status. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 00:25, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review and the copyedit (and quick too). This is no excuse, just an observation: I often find that when reading not so well-written sources (even in Norwegian), my own writing quality sinks too. I grew up at Vangshylla, and it is always fun to do some "local history" articles now and then. As for the vessels themselves, I'm trying to find some sources, but all the time the company is defunct, I'm gonna have to ask people I know if they happened to take some pictures of the ferries back ages ago. Logo will be added if I ever can find it. Arsenikk ^(talk) 08:16, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
