  • @Mifter: the source for ALT0 isn't very reliable, so I propose ALT1 instead. Could you re-review ALT1, please? L293D ( • ) 15:53, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

- L293D - happy to re-review. Looking at it, we would need to add a direct cite to the description of the Nautilus' naming and also a direct mention and cite in the prose describing that all other ships in the class were named for gems. Also, as one paragraph is tagged with "better source needed" we would need to resolve that as well. Best, Mifter (talk) 17:16, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

@Mifter: I believe I've fixed the issues you raised. L293D ( • ) 01:57, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
L293D - we just need an in-line cite to a source saying that Nautilus is named after the Jules Verne submarine and we will be good to go. Best, Mifter (talk) 02:55, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
Done. L293D ( • ) 03:02, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
- Great, looks good to go. ALT1 approved. Mifter (talk) 07:53, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
  • Returned from prep. There is no source in the article for either of these facts. There is a hidden note stating that the part about being named after precious stones is an assumption, which is OR. Footnote 5 states that Nautilus was named in honor of the centenary of Jules Verne. The article needs to be corrected, and a new hook offered. Yoninah (talk) 14:47, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
