Comments

1. What makes http://combinedfleet.com/360_45.htm a reliable source ?

   Same thing that makes everything else at combinedfleet reliable. All the authors are published experts in the field. This is a discussion that's been had at multiple levels on multiple occasions. Check the GA/ACR/FACs for Yamato class battleship, Japanese battleship Haruna, Japanese battleship Yamato or Japanese battleship Tosa for more details.

2. Ref 6 Jackson (2008) is not listed in the bibliography should it be Jackson (2000)

   Nope, it should be Jackson 2008. Just have to list the book. My bad. Cam ^(Chat)(Prof) 17:32, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

3. Ref 14 McLaughlin, pp. 44–45 not listed in the bibliography

   Got this one. Cam ^(Chat)(Prof) 18:34, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

4. As some references have the year of publication added it would look better if they all had them.

   They've all got them. Cam ^(Chat)(Prof) 18:34, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

5. Some of the books in the bibliography do not have locations and some use the cite book template and others don't for consistency they should all be the same.

   I think I got them all. Cam ^(Chat)(Prof) 18:34, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

6. Malaya goes to a disambiguation page

   Got it. Cam ^(Chat)(Prof) 18:34, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

7. Not all the images have alt text

   I didn't think that was an issue at GAN, but I'll go ahead and add it before I go watch Inception tonight. Cam ^(Chat)(Prof) 18:34, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on. --Jim Sweeney (talk) 08:47, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
