Caproni Ca.60 edit
- ... that the Caproni Ca.60 Transaereo eight-engine, nine-wing flying boat prototype (pictured) was intended to become a 100-passenger transatlantic airliner, but crashed on its second flight?
5x expanded by MLWatts (talk). Self nominated at 13:17, 11 January 2015 (UTC).
I remember this from Miyazaki's animated film The Wind Rises. Long enough article, for sure, and a well-referenced article. A good hook. The image is free of copyright restrictions. QPQ exempt. A few problems:
- This was not a move to mainspace, it was an expansion of an article that was created in 2006.
- The expansion began on 6 January, not 11 January, however, the nomination occurred on 11 January, so that's ok but the nomination should be refiled under 6 January.
- There are several spelling and grammar issues throughout the article. These need to be fixed.

- Thank you very much for reviewing my clumsy nomination (sorry, I'm not very experienced). My comments about the problems you noticed:
- I expanded the article in my sandbox and copy-pasted (rather than actually moved) the updated content to the mainspace on January 8... so I wasn't sure whether to call this a move or an expansion. I made the correction, however.
- I think the point above implies that the fivefold expansion took place on January 8, so the filing is correct... or am I missing something?
- I'm aware of the grammar issues, unfortunately I'm not an English native speaker and I can't do better than this; someone else should try to improve that aspect if possible. (I'll try to fix the spelling mistakes on my own).
- Thank you! Cheers, --M.L.WattsWatts up? 16:49, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
