I'll go ahead and review this article. PizzaKing13 (Hablame) 05:00, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
Infobox
[edit]- The name parameter should say "Supermarine Stranraer"
- Done, but kindly reverted by another editor. Amitchell125 (talk) 08:58, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
- "Maritime Reconnaissance" → "Maritime reconnaissance"
- Mention the year it was retired from military service
- Later in the body, it says that several aircraft served until 1958, while the infobox says it was retired in 1957. Which is correct?
- For the infobox see Wikipedia:WikiProject_Aircraft/page_content#Infobox "For the most part, as there is an appropriate field in the infobox itself, including the manufacturer in the "name" field is not necessary".Nigel Ish (talk) 08:53, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
Lead
[edit]Design and development
[edit]Background
[edit]- Is there not a specific year that development commenced?
- Replace "However" with something along the lines of "Despite the rejection"
Prototypes and production
[edit]- "During 1933" → "In 1933"
- Remove "was placed" from "initial order was placed for 17 aircraft", there is a duplicate after the serial numbers
- "during December 1936" → "in December 1936"
- Do we know why the May 1936 order for K9676 to K9681 was canceled? Also, is this the same May 1936 order as the one mentioned in the prior paragraph? Seems odd to me that the mention of its cancelation is in a separate paragraph if that's the case.
- I think the canceled bit was incorrect, it's now gone. Text now reorganised. Amitchell125 (talk) 16:09, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
- "Supermarine and Canadian Vickers being subsidiaries of Vickers-Armstrongs" is a fragment (semicolon isn't used properly). Change it to "by Canadian Vickers Limited, as both Supermarine and Canadian Vickers were subsidiaries of Vickers-Armstrongs."
Description
[edit]- Paragraph 1
- Fix comma after "flying boat" to a period
- Add "and" before "its take-off weight"
- Typo in "all- metal frame" (?), remove the space between "all-metal"
- "It was widened at the shoulders" What does that mean? Widened in comparison to what?
- Paragraph 2
- "As it progressed" As what progressed? Development?
- I'm pretty sure it should be "wings'" rather than "wing's"
- Is there a specific reason the Bristol Pegasus IIIM was chosen over the Rolls-Royce Kestrel?
- Paragraph 3
- Add "and" between "Stranraer" and "different"
- Paragraph 4
- Add "made of" between "which were" and "metal"
- Is there a specific type of bomb the aircraft could carry?
- I've looked but found no information. Amitchell125 (talk) 09:00, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
Operational history
[edit]Military use prior to September 1939
[edit]- Remove "Supermarine" from "The Supermarine Stranraer and its contemporary", we already know its from Supermarine
- Add a comma after "from 1937"
- Add a period after "they entered service"
- "primarily by" → "primarily with"
Action during the Second World War
[edit]- Make "use of the Stranraer for such patrols came to an end on 17 March 1941" its own sentence (take it out of the semicolon)
Civilian use
[edit]- Add a comma after "From May 1935"
- Remove "However," its not necessary
Operators
[edit]Military
[edit]- [[File:Canadian Red Ensign 1921-1957.svg|22px]] [[Canada]] → "{{flag|Canada|1921}}"

- References are needed for Pacific Western Airlines and Wardair
