GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   over-use of the word she when referring to Tarawa; some variation like vessel, carrier, warship, etc.

   B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   C. No original research:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   Article does not cover air groups assigned to carrier and nowhere does it mention how many aircraft and types of aircraft were flown from the carrier

   B. Focused:

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

7. Overall: The history of the ship is only partially here. As an aircraft carrier, one expects to see information about the aircraft that flew from the ship and which units the ship embarked. Too much of the vessel's history is missing, let alone key info like flight deck size. Suggest adding the required info and re-applying for GA. Other nitpicks are abbreviations are not consistent within article and words the need to be linked, such as knots, are not.

   Pass or Fail:
