Article is nicely written. Long enough and new enough but most parts are not referenced. Would be good if the few references provided can be appended to statements in the article. Would be glad to review it once it is done.CrossTemple Jay 15:39, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Crosstemplejay: I do believe I miss understood your point about the article NOT being referenced. The first paragraph is referenced with #1. The second paragraph is referenced with #2, #3, #4, #5. The third paragraph is referenced with #6, #7, #8. The fourth paragraph is referenced with #9. The hook has 2 reference sources. Where did I miss a reference? The 2000 character article has a 0.0% Earwig reading. Can you rephrase your point? --Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:46, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Crosstemplejay: Here is a copy of the newspaper article for Ref #1 = "First steel carferry is the Pere Marquette."--Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:57, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Crosstemplejay: The sources provided for the hook above are references # 4 & #5 in the article.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:19, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for the clear up with the newspaper on Flickr. No close paraphrasing, new enough, long enough, QPQ done. Ready for the main page.CrossTemple Jay 19:50, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
