Prose

she carries - are submarines females? I thought we apply such subjects only in French language.

Ships and boats are referred to as she. Search for "she" here and here read this. --Sp33dyphil ©^hat_ontributions 10:46, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 11:02, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

her during Tula's later operational life - Replace Tula's with her. The sentence is short and can be easily understood.

Done. Done

She also equipped with - Something missing?

Done. Done

Why can't they be in italics? They're the creators of the works, aren't they? As for Barents Observer, I believe it's a newspaper. And what's "Yulia Minder" and "Digital Sky Technologies"? --Sp33dyphil ©^hat_ontributions 10:49, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Because Wikipedia does not italicize them. Normally, magazines and newspapers are in italics, not online publications. For instance, online magazines are not in italics. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 10:50, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done with first and second. Barents Observer is a news source. What's "Yulia Minder" and "Digital Sky Technologies"? --Sp33dyphil ©^hat_ontributions 10:53, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. The two other are the actual publishers. Jivesh1205 (Talk)

Purpose of missiles

The statement that this sub's missiles are "for use against military and industrial facilities in the case of a nuclear war" is a bit questionable. I can't see where it appears in its reference, and nuclear missile subs are normally used to target cities (both because their missiles are less accurate than land-launched weapons and to deter attempts at trying to knock out the country's nuclear weapons through a surprise attack).

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
