To Fix

1. Reference 6 is a dead-link

    Done--Dom497 (talk) 20:14, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

2. Reference 7 does not specify the trains were 'Converted'. Re-find a reference or change the terminology.

    Done--Dom497 (talk) 20:23, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

3. Reference 8 lists all Dive coasters while its attached statement '90-degree vertical drop, a splashdown element, and floorless trains'

   That's because if you click each one you will see that it supports the statment. I just thought that it would be easier just to leave it as one ref then 7 different ones. If you want me to include a different ref for each dive coaster, I can do that.--Dom497 (talk) 19:56, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

   Considering a valid reason, You dont have to. If you want to, You can. John F. Lewis (talk) 20:02, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

4. Certain statements using Reference 10 may be better verified using Textual references.

   How are you supposed to show that a train stops at the top of the lift, the floors go down and up with just pictures (no news articles mention this other then fan sites?--Dom497 (talk) 19:56, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

   Is there anything (at all) that states the train stops for about 3-5 seconds? John F. Lewis (talk) 20:02, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

   Fan sites or articles written by random people. I will look around again just in case I missed something. But either way, isn't the video fine?--Dom497 (talk) 20:04, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

   The video is fine, But I was wondering if there are any textual versions that provide 3-5 seconds stop. If this is the only problem, I have no problems over looking this as the video does represent it reasonably. John F. Lewis (talk) 20:06, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

    Done Found a ref! :) --Dom497 (talk) 20:38, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

5. Wikify Image captions. It seems like an unusual request but if possible, Could you wikify captions when appropriate.

    Done--Dom497 (talk) 19:56, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

6. The article is now slightly outdated, as the Efteling dive coaster has opened already. It has floorless cars, a 4 second stop before the 37.5m drop, no splashdown and it's name is "Baron 1898". There's also a very brief section that is underground at the bottom of the drop. My source is having been on the coaster, but at least the name and the height can be found on the Efteling website (in dutch) . (I also fixed the markup of this list, it wasn't numbered right because of newlines for the lines starting with colons. To fix, I replaced the first of each of those colon sequences with a number sign. I apologise if this is bad etiquette.) 2A02:1810:4412:5B00:E15B:7E3E:2128:BEF1 (talk) 08:06, 23 July 2015 (UTC) (not a user) tacit
