Looking at this one. —Ed!(talk) 00:41, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- It is reasonably well written:
- The lead sections should be expanded to give a concise summary of the whole article. See WP:LEAD for a bit more on this.
- "came in sizes up to seven and a half feet wide by fifty feet long." -- use the {{convert}} template for our friends on the metric system if you could.
- Any idea who the original founders of the Haskelite company was, or who provided the capital for it? I see some names in the infobox that should be discussed.
- "The plant was located on 107 acres of land near the Fuller Station." -- again, convert template here.
- How much did the facility cost?
- Convert 50 mph, I think knots would be preferred for a seaborne vehicle.
- Some of the Haskelite Manufacturing Corporation references can be shortened, to the company or the factory or something like that.
- Any numbers on revenue, volume produced or number of employees? Again seeing an employee number in the infobox but not a date or anything like that.
- It is factually accurate and verifiable:
- Seeing plenty of refs.
- It is broad in its coverage:
- Pass no problems.
- It follows the neutral point of view policy:
- Pass No problems there.
- It is stable:
- Pass No problems there.
- It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate:
- All images look appropriately tagged for copyright.
- Other:
- Dup links, external links, copyvio and dup links tools all look good.
- Source spotcheck Refs 6, 16, 30 all match up to what's cited in the article.
- @Ed!: I believe I have answered all the issues you brought up. Can you look it over. Thanks.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 15:36, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
A GAR has been started for Haskelite at Talk:Haskelite which may impact and raise some issues relating to both this page and the Haskell Manufacturing Company. Gusfriend (talk) 04:09, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
