Alexandria (schooner)

The sources I put there are NOT primary sources. Why do you put the "primary sources" box there? GS3 (talk) 15:56, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That was like two weeks ago. I do not recall why I put the tag there. Remove it if you disagree. --Brad (talk) 03:47, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia? How new do you think I am? Since June you've apparently become an expert already. --Brad (talk) 00:35, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Princess Sophia

If you have time, can you have a look at SS Princess Sophia, and suggest what might be necessary to bump it up to GA status? Mtsmallwood (talk) 03:14, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What is glaring at me first off, the article is a bit unfocused in that it goes off topic explaining other wrecks and shipping operations in that area. The article has way too many pics on display. You have to cut those down to at least half and then point the reader to commons to see more and the commons link is already there. The timeline section has to go. The article itself should be a timeline of events. If you can't work the mentions into the body of the article then you will have to get rid of the more minor and trivial parts. There are entire sections and paragraphs without inline citations and the lead section needs expanding. Based on the amount of information in the article, the lead should take at least two paragraphs to summarize the entire article. --Brad (talk) 04:39, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

hmmm, thx, that could be a lot of work.Mtsmallwood (talk) 04:53, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It could be but I find that picking away at articles when I have time eventually cleans them up. --Brad (talk) 02:13, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

SMS Adler

Thanks for the help. I can't seem to be able to download this photo to Wikimedia http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/images/h42000/h42118.jpg It is a U.S. Navy Historical Center photo of a contemporary drawing. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. Can you help? Pustelnik (talk) 01:43, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The pic is now uploaded on wikimedia and showing in the article. --Brad (talk) 02:13, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Washington Irving (sidewheeler) GA review

Thanks for letting me know, I had not noticed that. Will try to address this weekend. WilliamKF (talk) 20:21, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the copy edit. Your changes look good to me. WilliamKF (talk) 22:41, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No reply needed

I am writing to let you know that your recommendation of the Fouled Anchors article did not vanish into the luminiferous ether. I have read it, and you were spang on - it is a good read. Thank you. PKKloeppel (talk) 02:58, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
