GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
In the second sentence of the lead, you say "a steam-powered for" Is there supposed to be something after the "steam-powered"? The sentence seems to read oddly.
now reads "steam-powered cargo ship" — Bellhalla (talk) 12:35, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Second paragraph of the lead, you say "Details of West Compo's civilian career, if any, are unknown." Does this mean that it is unknown if there are any details or if she had a civilian career at all? Same in the related section.
Reworded to make more clear that there's no evidence of a civilian career. — Bellhalla (talk) 12:35, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

First paragraph of the Design and Construction section, you say "40 West ships built by the Northwest Steel of" Is Northwest Steel a company? If so, shouldn't it just be "built by Northwest Steel"?
Yes, it should, and yes, it now does. :) — Bellhalla (talk) 12:35, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Other than a few minor prose issues, this is a very nice article. I'm putting it on hold to allow you time to deal with the few concerns I've detailed above. Let me know if you have any questions. Dana boomer (talk) 23:01, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Additional comment =): there are a few instances of overlinking.... —the_ed 17— 19:11, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Replies to Dana boomer interspersed above. Can you elaborate, the_ed17, on what is overlinked? — Bellhalla (talk) 12:35, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Everything looks good, so I'm passing the article. I honestly don't see any instances of overlinking, but I could be wrong... Nice work. Dana boomer (talk) 13:10, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
