Amchitka

Nominating article which is well sourced and appears well-written. Open to any suggestions, which I will implement as soon as possible. CynicalMe 22:13, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support now that all the issues raised in the WPMILHIST peer review have been resolved. Kirill Lokshin 22:48, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - I'm impressed. Well written, and though it doesn't mean anything in terms of it being an FA, it was practically completely written by Jakew. drumguy8800 C T 23:28, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Very good, appears comprehensive, well-cited. Interesting topic too. Tuf-Kat 00:35, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. It's a bit incomprehensive and choppy in my view. Each section comprises three paragraphs which are made up of only two sentences. Orane (talk • cont.) 08:26, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. I believe that this fascinating subject is explained in a manner that fully conforms to policy. (Note: I'm responsible for much of the work on this article.) Jakew 10:20, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, a very nice article deserving its star :) -- Grafikm (AutoGRAF) 12:17, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Just fixed a little spelling error; there might be more of them, but the article is well-referenced, nicely imaged and comprehensive. Batmanand | Talk 14:22, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object—1a.
    • "miles", again and again. What about the other 95% of the world's population?
    • "It is about 42 miles long, and varies from 2 to 4 miles in width."—Spot the redundant word. We're told this again in the next section.
    • "though it is monitored for leakage of radioactive materials."—The leakage. "Although" is more usual in formal registers.
    • "oblique subduction"—Is there a link for this?
    • Why are some of the plain years linked? Gee, 1920 starts with "Babe Ruth is traded by the Boston Red Sox to the New York Yankees for $125,000, the largest sum ever paid for a player at that time." Is that relevant?
    • "The U.S. Army established bases on Adak and 13 other locations." Should that be at 13?
    • "in order to prevent"—Spot two redundant words.

Needs a thorough copy-edit throughout. Tony 16:36, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've addressed the concerns you raised. CynicalMe 17:03, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
