• http://www.combinedfleet.com/ What was the decision on this source? I can't remember... and forgot to make a note if it was judged reliable.

Otherwise sources look good. Links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:34, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

I asked about that website at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard and the answer I received was that it appeared to be ok [2]. Cla68 (talk) 07:03, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Struck, and I made a note too! Ealdgyth - Talk 22:30, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Support I read this article for its A-class review and I still believe it's fully FA quality. JonCatalán (talk) 20:10, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

• 3. Done [6].
• 4. Done [7].
• 5. I Googled that document name and couldn't discover additional publishing info on it. I believe the document title is sufficient for verification purposes, but can replace the image if necessary. Cla68 (talk) 07:34, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
