@Wilhelmina Will: - I think you might have forgotten about this GAN (and these two). Parsecboy (talk) 13:21, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You're right; I should get on with these. I just need to do a few other things, offline and on, and then I'll see to this very one. Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 10:48, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

In Service history, Admiral Carlo Pellion di Persano is referred to by his full name in both the first paragraph and the second paragraph. Oughtn't his second mentioning to be reduced to his surname, and his position as the commander of the Italian fleet to be mentioned only in the first paragraph?
- Fixed, good catch.
In Design, it mentions that "Her engine produced a top speed of 13.74 knots (25.45 km/h; 15.81 mph) from 2,548 indicated horsepower (1,900 kW), making her the fastest member of her class." While I understand that the entire paragraph that line comes from is meant to be verified by citation 1, if the cite were also provided right after this line, I think it could qualify as a hook for DYK, upon this article's GA promotion. Other than these two points, everything checks out. Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 11:32, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not all that concerned with DYK, to be honest - I haven't been particularly thrilled with interactions I've had there in the past. Thanks though. Parsecboy (talk) 12:54, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Understood; no big deal. I should be wrapping this up now, however; mustn't let myself be sidetracked any longer... Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 23:31, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say this article is "Good" to go. Congratulations! Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 23:35, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

CS1 error and warning messages and other CE.[edit]

Parsecboy, I am not edit-warring. I simply redid changes I thought were inadvertantly reverted.

My primary purpose for editing this article was to change code that was generating CS1 error and warning messages. I also edit to conform to Wikipedia "standards" which are continually changing.

"Short, wide images sometimes benefit from upright factors greater than 1.0." per Help:Pictures.
"For instance, upright=1.5 makes the image larger, which is useful for maps or schematics that need to be larger to be readable." per Wikipedia:Extended image syntax or WP:PICSIZE.
I did not know that author-page was acceptable for short citations. I though publication date was also desired.

I will continue to change wikitext that generates error and warning messages.User-duck (talk) 17:57, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The plan and profile image has no real text that needs to be legible - just a reference to the class, which is accomplished by the caption. You applied the larger sizing to a normal image at Italian ship Affondatore (and indicated you'd like to do it to the photo here). If you think the default image size should be greater than the 220px default, you can change what size thumbnails are display in your preferences. Bear in mind that other editors do have preferences set, so changing the default display overrides their preferences.

I have been using this citation format for 15+ years, and in 80-some-odd Featured Articles (and I know others with similar content production use it as well). Parsecboy (talk) 10:38, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
