• "carrier-based jet-engined interceptor" WP:SEAOFBLUE.
  • Technical terminology
    • Nevertheless, a sea of blue. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:51, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
      • To quote: "Articles on technical subjects might demand a higher density of links than general-interest articles, because they are likely to contain more technical terms that general dictionaries are unlikely to explain in context."
        • I don't think that is intended to supersede sea of blue. That just means there'll be more linked stuff, not necessarily three links next to one another. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 21:03, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
          • I can see why you might think that, but I believe that the current phrasing flows quite nicely and I'm loath to disrupt that just because of SEAOFBLUE. Lemme see if I can figure something out that works nearly as well.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 22:04, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
            • See what you think. Still prefer the former phrasing, but acceptable.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 22:48, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
• "Naval Aviation" -> "French Naval Aviation"
• I think the lead could be expanded a bit, probably three or four more sentences.
  • I added one sentence, but I'm happy to take suggestions about what else is worthy of being included in the lede. I think that I'm a little too close to really be able to judge for myself.
• Could link "aircraft carriers".
• "carriers, Dixmude which was.." ->"carriers: Dixmude, which was ... and Arromanches, ..."
• "larger PA-28 design" what was that?
  • Slightly reworded
• "autocannon with" autocannons?
  • Like cannon, autocannon is both singular and plural
    • How strange, never heard of that ever. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:51, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
      • My dictionary program says: "plural cannons or same".
• You relink SNCAC but not "Aéronavale", any strategy here?
  • Nope, simply an oversight
• Aéronavale awarded the company a contract --> Aéronavale awarded SNCAC a contract
• Link maiden flight.
• "reached a speed of 720 km/h (450 mph) and a speed of Mach 0.64 in a dive during" what was it doing for the first speed check?
  • Probably, although I'd bet that there was one during the manufacturer's trials earlier. There's actually very little information on the flight testing program available. All that's given are the highlights.
    • Probably what? I just asked what it was doing on the first flight? The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:51, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
      • Sorry, misunderstood you. Sources don't say.
• Any info on the test pilot?
• "1 - Le NC 1080" [The First Three French Carrier Jet Fighters, 1 - The NC" en-dashes, not hyphens.
  • Good catch
• The navbox template says it's called "NC.1080" but that's not how it's written in the article or the title.
  • I've seen it written both ways in both French and English sources, so I decided not to mess with the existing titles.
    • It should be made consistent. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:51, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
      • Changed the navbox--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:50, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

That's it. On hold. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 14:15, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Sturmvogel 66 are you going to look at these comments? The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 10:12, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Sturmvogel 66 If you don't get to this, I'll be closing this as failed later today as you haven't responded to the original review nor the nudge from a few days ago. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 07:09, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Sorry for the delays, but RL has been a bitch this month.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:16, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man:--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 13:37, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

I already responded to several points above. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:58, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Apologies, I missed your comments.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:48, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Ok, happy with this so promoting. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 10:30, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
