I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 08:21, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
- Cropping isn't a creative act covered by copyright. You need to copy over all the licensing info from the original photo.
- Done. AM
- Photos from British magazines after 1928 are still in US copyright.
- Magazine images removed. AM
- What's the source of File:Supermarine Walrus at Royal Naval Air Station Bermuda at Boaz Island.jpg?
- No idea, so image removed. AM
- You have two identical photos, find a substitute for one of them.
- Sorted, dup image removed. AM
- Primarily used as a reconnaissance aircraft, it was the first British squadron-service aircraft to incorporate a fully retractable main undercarriage, crew accommodation that was enclosed, and a fuselage completely made of metal. Needs a cite
- Sorted. AM
- I would strongly suggest merging the Development and Design paragraphs together, leading off with the rationale for the program and order for a prototype, transitioning to the description and finishing with the production info. I believe that that would flow much more smoothly, preventing issues like describing the changes made between the prototype and production aircraft before you've even described the aircraft at all.
- Sections reordered as suggested, titles amended as well.
- Always tell the reader what type of ship (with links!) one is when introducing it to the reader
- Done. AM
- I was thinking more of a simple battleship or heavy cruiser, but links to the class will do. Be advised, though, that you've now got a lot of duplicate links.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:29, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
- Dup links now removed. AM

- Done. AM
- Explicate the orders for the Seagull V in more detail. Was it just RAN and just 24 aircraft?
- Sorted. AM
- The term and associated link maritime reconnaissance or patrol aircraft should be used rather than simply reconnaissance or observation.
- Done. AM
- plywood wings were of equal span wings awkward
- Sorted. AM
- Link sweepback, float, rudder, tail wheel, taxi, crane
- Done. AM
- Suggest deleting the cost conversions as capital costs have increased far more rapidly than have consumer costs.
- Done. AM
- Add production numbers for each to the variant section
- Done. AM
- Serials of each batch not generally necessary, FYI--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:29, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
- I'll remove them. as I think they clutter up the article. Amitchell125 (talk) 18:49, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

- Done. AM
- Still a few more things to go through, but this will get you started.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:43, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
- Above comments addressed (hopefully). Amitchell125 (talk) 08:50, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
- I don't see any usage of Aircraft of the RAAF. If I haven't missed a cite, move it down to the further reading section. Fix these minor remaining issues and we'll be done here.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:29, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
