 * Why hello again, Thurgate. How's it been going?
 * Yer not to bad, nearly finished the ship articles for KGV, so I'll place all the relevant info into your sandbox and we can hash out the details their if you want?
 * Deal. Tell me when KGV goes in for a GT nom, so I can update my WikiCup submissions and help you out over there.
 * Coords only needed once, in the lede replace with the geographical location, delete from the infobox.
 * Fixed.
 * Don't worry if I don't reply in a week, things are pretty hectic offline on my end. Wikicopter what i do s + c cup&#124;former 03:43, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
 * No worries, and thanks for reviewing. Thurgate (talk) 13:45, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Section Action with Bismark has a typo in the header, and last para has some basic info on any artillery hit on any ship, I don't think that's needed.
 * I've changed the typo, and I don't know about the damage sustained as I quite like the extra detail. Do you want me to ask someone else for their opinion? Thurgate (talk) 20:47, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, I also think that the section on the action with Bismarck is too detailed in porportion to the rest of the article.
 * Ok, I have asked Strum to take a look at the article. Also I think that it is fine for it to be more detailed then the rest as it is the second most important engagement of Price of Wales career and it is with one of the most famous battleships in the world.

 * Actually, I'd say that you don't have enough detail on the engagement with Bismarck. I'd want to know the effects of each German hit, including that dud 15-inch shell in her bilges and how many times she had problems with her guns, including exactly what the problems were, as that's often a big deal in histories of the battle. To balance things out you can include an equivalent amount of detail when she was sunk. Some of this is discussed in depth on the KGV class article, IIRC. But that's just me; for a good idea of the level of detail I think important see my articles on HMS Renown (1916) and HMS Repulse (1916). They'd give you both an idea of what to strive for in technical detail and operational history. Or, hell, take a look at my Hood article. I haven't even nominated that yet for GA because I'm still waiting on one book to arrive, but again... I hope you get Raven and Roberts and Rohwer soon so you can flesh out all these articles to what they need to be.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:48, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Which one carried Churchill to see FDR? Duke of York or Prince of Wales? Wikicopter what i do s + c cup&#124;former 19:35, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * They both carried Churchill as they were separate trips. Thurgate (talk) 20:47, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I have a book by C. S. Forester that says that Y turret was jammed due to a defect in the shell ring (don't ask me what that is). Wikicopter what i do s + c cup&#124;former 03:03, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * That is, during the action with Bismarck. Wikicopter what i do s + c cup&#124;former 03:19, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I've never seem it mentioned in all of my sources but I will have another look just in case. Thurgate (talk) 12:29, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * More info on both the Atlantic Charter and the Med duty of the POW. Wikicopter what i do s + c cup&#124;former 02:07, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. Thurgate (talk) 21:40, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The conference continued from 10 to 12 August aboard the heavy US cruiser Augusta, and at the end of the conference the Atlantic charter is proclaimed.[18] Following the signing of the charter Prince of Wales arrived back at Scapa Flow on 18 August. → The conference continued from 10 to 12 August aboard the heavy US cruiser Augusta, and at the end of the conference, the Atlantic Charter was proclaimed.[18] Following the signing of the charter Prince of Wales arrived back at Scapa Flow on 18 August.
 * Changed per your suggestion. Thurgate (talk) 15:26, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
 * More info on the Atlantic Charter itself. Wikicopter what i do s + c cup&#124;former 03:20, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Everything looks resolved here. Are there any further issues? Wizardman Operation Big Bear 15:12, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, my comment still needs to be answered. Although I may have to answer it myself as Thurgate seems to be MIA for the last couple of weeks. I'll try to do that today or tomorrow.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:28, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
