Comments
[edit]- The lede claims 'and was the first purpose-designed aircraft carrier in the world to be commissioned' this is not mentioned in the body of the article so needs a cite
- Done.
- 'On 25 September Hōshō contributed six fighters to escort bombers attacking airfields at Tienho and Paiyun; they claimed six enemy aircraft' - claimed six enemy aircraft - enemy is a bit POV and claimed what damaged - destroyed?
- Clarified.
- In the WWII section 'Her aircraft complement consisted of eight Yokosuka B4Y "Jean" torpedo bombers.[1] can the link to the external site be formatted correctly - What makes it reliable and it contradicts the text by stating she carried '8 Nakajima Type 97 torpedo bombers (Kate)' while the text has 'eight Yokosuka B4Y "Jean" torpedo bombers'
- After the ref mentioned above the rest of the paragraph is unreferenced apart for one to nav.weps for the guns
- Cited.
- Gardiner, Robert; Gray, Randal, eds is listed in the references but does not seem to have been used
- Deleted.
- Reference 4 Milanovich, p. 15 and 8 Milanovich, p. 22 by using ref name can remove ref 6 Milanovich, pp. 15, 22
- Same with ref 1 , 2 and 13 use ref name to Milanovich, p. 11
- Same with refs 14, 19 and 20 to Milanovich, p. 21
- I don't really see a need to consolidate the refs like this; it just means that an interested reader is going to have to thumb through more pages to find the exact information. Thanks for the review.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:12, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.--Jim Sweeney (talk) 10:18, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
- Ref added to Shattered Sword which covers point 3 (and the the use of Hosho's B4Ys to photograph the burning Hiryu).Nigel Ish (talk) 12:17, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the fix-up, Nigel.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:12, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
