Comments
  • The lead is rather short; I would particularly like to see more "hard facts" about the train there. Also, some of the content in the lead is not mentioned in the body.
  • Try to avid mixing digits and spelled-out numbers in the same sentence (e.g. "two trainsets and 23 options"). (fixed)
  • Link currencies, use ISO codes for when used later in the article. (fixed)
  • Avoid using the word "claim", as it has a negative annotation, see WP:WEASEL. Instead, say that he "stated" or similar.
  • Don't say "at the end of the year 1997", but just "at the end of 1997". (fixed)
  • Avoid using internal references to other parts of the article. (fixed)
  • Names of ships are in italics. (fixed)
  • The phrase " to speed up its weight of" reads very awkward.
  • Temperature and noise levels are not referenced.
  • There is a citation needed tag which needs to be resolved.
  • Please find a better term than "professionnal help".
  • I am a bit concerned about the "criticism" section. All the content there is valid, but in general criticism sections are frowned upon as they are inherently POV. I would recommend that he content be merged into the history section. See for instance NSB Class 73 where the criticism has been woven in.
  • Avoid using all-caps in references, instead use "start case".
  • Image licenses check out good.

I am placing the article on hold. Although there are a few issues, overall it is quite good. Arsenikk (talk) 13:42, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback. I was wondering about the criticism section as well, I will merge it in the main history section within a few days in addition to fixing the other minor problems.--Yaamboo (talk) 05:22, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
All right, I've tried to fix the problems now. --Yaamboo (talk) 06:49, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
