I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:39, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

• No DABs, two dead links.

• Links updated. Hchc2009 (talk) 17:53, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

• Images properly licensed.
• Convert the thickness of the pipe used.

• Done. Hchc2009 (talk) 07:34, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

• Missed a couple in that same paragraph. 5/8 and 1/2, IIRC.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:03, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

• Drop the |adj=on sections from the templates as they're not compound adjectives trenches 4-foot (1.2 m) deep and 3-foot (0.91 m) wide and the same here: between 90-acre (36 ha) and 131-acre (53 ha) big

• This is a repeated problem as the |adj=on isn't generally needed; only for compound adjectives like 15-inch, etc. Look very carefully at every hyphen next to a measurement to see if they're required. Most won't be.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:03, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

• Done. Hchc2009 (talk) 07:34, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

• old oil pumps were retired for reuse in a future crisis Don't you mean "retained" here?

• Done. Hchc2009 (talk) 07:34, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

• Along the west parts of the pipelines Shouldn't that be "western"?

• Done. Hchc2009 (talk) 07:34, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

• Is there a grand total of the steel consumed in the construction of the pipelines?

• I've found a figure for the Big Inch (and added in it), but I can't find one for the Little Inch. Hchc2009 (talk) 17:53, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

• And what was the impact on the shipping of oil by rail and ship when they were completed?

• I haven't been able to find a statistic for this; it's a bit of a strange gap in the histories. Hchc2009 (talk) 17:53, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

• Might be in more general histories of oil production/usage during the war, but likely very hard to search for.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:03, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

• Otherwise nicely done.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:17, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

• See if that has fixed it... Hchc2009 (talk) 16:29, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
