Converted from a redirect by GreatLakesShips (talk). Self-nominated at 02:04, 9 October 2022 (UTC).
Article was a redirect and has been converted into a long article with citations throughout. Two problems: (1) the hook fact is not verified inline in the article, where it says Sir William Siemens was one of the largest ships on the Great Lakes at the time of her construction
, and (2) QPQ is required. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:12, 11 October 2022 (UTC)- @GreatLakesShips: You missed this review. Onegreatjoke (talk) 16:48, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

- @GreatLakesShips: Probably just that you didn't reply to the review yet. There's a QPQ now, but you still need to fix the hook citation: It's not actually missing an inline ref as Muboshgu wrote (we don't need the ref after the comma, after sentence end suffices), but it's not in the source you linked – at least not on pages 69–71, which I could access on Google books (couldn't read 68, maybe it's on that page?). –LordPeterII (talk) 21:06, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
- Indeed. That hook can't be approved. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:46, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Muboshgu: I've added pages 67 and 68, which are relevant to the topic. GreatLakesShips 🤘 (talk - contribs) 21:34, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Muboshgu: (afaik pings only actually work if you sign them at the time of posting, so you can't add them afterwards without signing again). –LordPeterII (talk) 15:08, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
- Indeed, I didn't receive the ping on Oct 24, but I did this morning. I've read pages 67 and 68 and they do not support ALT0 as far as I can see. ALT1 either. It says that it was the Siemens and the sister ships made the largest fleet on the Great Lakes on the bottom of the first column on page 69. I see that the Siemens and the other two ships are identically large but I don't see it say explicitly that they were the largest. Am I missing something? – Muboshgu (talk) 16:27, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Muboshgu: On page 67 it states that "she had been built with a stiff and strong hull and was longer than any on the lakes", as well as "not since the launching of the Onoko fourteen years earlier had Globe built a record-breaking ship".

- @Muboshgu: On page 68 it says that "the Coralia was actually the first of three sister ships built to the same plans." GreatLakesShips 🤘 (talk - contribs) 05:46, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
- 3 months waiting for a promotion. I am going to evaluate for promotion now. Bruxton (talk) 22:09, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Muboshgu and GreatLakesShips: the hook does not work. The ship was launched July 25, 1896 and our article says that "they were surpassed in length on August 1, 1896". Bruxton (talk) 22:17, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Bruxton: I fail to see the issue. The three vessels were still the largest in 1896 for a period of time. GreatLakesShips 🤘 (talk - contribs) 20:00, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
Bruxton, would this fix it?
- ALT 1a: ... that when launched in 1896, the freighter Sir William Siemens (pictured) and her sister ships were the largest vessels on the Great Lakes? Valereee (talk) 15:40, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
- I removed my nomination question above. Thanks Valereee, technically it is correct what do you both say? @Muboshgu and GreatLakesShips: Bruxton (talk) 15:59, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
- It's technically correct. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:59, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
