Lead

• "the square or transom stern and the elliptical, fantail, or merchant stern[1] and were developed in that order" → " the square, or transom, stern, and the elliptical, fantail, or merchant stern[1], developed in that order"
• "a sloped or 'cant'" → "a sloped, or 'cant'" there should be commas when words like or are present. Same with "round or 'circular' stern"
• "In 1817 the British" comma after 1817.
• "simply ugly-- no" ugly sounds really unprofessional. Is there a replacement?
• italicise "Brandywine" in "USS Brandywine".

Transerm term

• "In naval architecture, The term 'transom'" de-capitalise "The" and italices "transom".
• replace hyphen with – in "1840-1920"

Elliptical stern and Cruiser stern

• "this despite the fact that it left the rudder exposed and vulnerable in combat situations." → "despite the exposure and vulnerability in combat situations".
• shouldn't there be inverted commas somewhere in "canoe stern, parabolic stern, and the double-ended stern"?
• link "warships"
• much of "Cruiser stern" in unsourced.

Other types of stern

• "A The Constanzi stern is a type of stern designed for use used on ocean-going vessels"

References

• FN 4 has a whole block of text linked. The title for it should be The shipwright's vade-mecum.
• FN 8 is not formatted, ie no author, publisher, title, access date.

Allow me to step in on this one since the original nominator seems to be missing. I need a couple of days though and I'll see what I can do. Brad (talk) 02:05, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

I am the nominator-- am swamped with work today and tomorrow, can address many if not all of these changes the day after that, thank you for reviewing it! KDS4444^Talk 04:35, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

I've done all I can do on this article. I requested a copyedit but they haven't shown up yet. Good luck. Brad (talk) 03:33, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

I have completed a copy edit. I have to admit I found the material difficult to understand and the descriptions difficult to visualise. Did my best --Diannaa (talk) 01:35, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

What's the status on this review? Been on hold for some time and been a few weeks since the last comments. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 17:05, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

• I'm going to be bold and fail the article. Both the reviewer and the nominator have gone missing. There are still outstanding issues. Brad (talk) 21:13, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Yes, good idea - well done. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:30, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
