Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/December 7, 2008

{{editprotected}}

Hi everyone! The name of the ship at the beginning has to be either USS Nevada (BB-36) or USS Nevada per Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(ships)#Referring_to_ships. I don't know about the designation being needed, but the ship name (not USS or the "BB-36") has to be italicized - that's how it is in almost every ship publication too. Thanks and cheers! —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)}

To be consistent with the October 15 TFA, USS New Jersey (BB-62), I struck part of that above. Also, December 8, 9, and 10th have to be change to reflect this (in the "Recently Featured" part). —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 03:42, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

And an addition that Pearl Harbor was on December 7, 1941 would be helpful for people outside the U.S./people who don't like history. :) —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 01:14, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Done, and I tweaked the 8th and 9th as well. The 10th isn't up yet, but I'll keep an eye on it and tweak as needed when it goes live. If I miss it, just file another request on the talkpage of that one. :) --Elonka 02:43, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

*Cry* Can it be 7 December 1941 to follow the date style in the article? Sorry everyone... —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 02:50, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Done.  :) --Elonka 02:55, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! :D —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 02:57, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Typos

"[S]he was one of the battleships that was trapped" should read ". . . were trapped"; and "[s]he was sunk during naval gunfire practice exercise" should probably read ". . . exercises". Awien (talk) 17:37, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Just rm the word exercise, please - it was removed from the article anyway. :) —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 02:45, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Picture

The picture that is there now...did we want that one or the one of her sunk at Pearl Harbor? The latter would be to emphasize the Pearl Harbor connection...I dunno. I just noticed it and I thought that I'd ask. :) Cheers! —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 02:45, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
