HMS Telemachus (P321)

  • The article size and timing check out, the photo is appropriate and PD-expired, and there are no apparent CP/copyvio concerns, with offline references taken AGF. There are two concerns though. The first is that in the references, some of them are credited to The Times without further accreditiation. I assume this is the newspaper in Victoria; if so (or otherwise!) that needs to be added to the reference with the location= tag. Secondly, the hook is, while accurate, slightly misleading; a reader would easily be forgiven that "went missing" means "lost at sea (for good)". I would suggest the following alternative hook perhaps? - The Bushranger One ping only 01:53, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
  • ALT1: ... that in June 1956, the British submarine HMS Telemachus (pictured) briefly went missing during a hydrographic survey off the coast of the Australian Antarctic Territory?
Thanks for the review, I've struck through the original hook as yours is actually what I meant! As for The Times - it means literally the British original, not a local Australian paper. Miyagawa (talk) 13:40, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
Only just realised that I hadn't actually added those locations to the article! Now completed as requested. Miyagawa (talk) 13:40, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
Eep, sorry I overlooked your reply earlier. Looks good to go to me - nice work. :) - The Bushranger One ping only 22:46, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
