  • What makes the Andrew Hague Convoy Database a WP:RS?--Tomobe03 (talk) 09:39, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not sure of that myself, that section was added by someone else. I do know it's been allowed in other GAs, and that there is a template devoted to citing sources on that site. I can go looking around for the discussion of its notability. —Ed!(talk) 12:19, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • Indeed, the template seems to give some sort of credibility to the source - at least I suspect someone gave some thought to it. I saw Sturmvogel used the same source in several successful GANs, so I asked him for advice, but given the previous use in GAs (four reviews at least passed using that source) and the template, I'm leaning towards accepting it.--Tomobe03 (talk) 12:34, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Prose:

  • In ... took part in a large-scale battle exercises ... is it one exercise or more - either the indefinite article or the plural suffix must go.
  • The 01:58 in On 24 December 1943, the task group was caught in a storm in the North Atlantic when at 01:58, Leary made a ping on a U-Boat off her starboard bow. is not clear, at least to me - is it am or pm?

Interesting article. I think there are no further issues relevant to the GAR.--Tomobe03 (talk) 10:12, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
