 * I think you could just remove the first sentence of the lead, " is a significant figure in the history of U.S. naval aviation. " as it sounds like editorializing and doesn't strongly establish his notability as the second sentence does. Try: "James D. "Jig Dog" Ramage (19 July 1916 – 21 July 2012) was a combat leader in World War II and a major factor in putting nuclear-capable aircraft aboard aircraft carriers. Before retirement he attained the rank of rear admiral."
 * This was left over from the original before I expanded the article. Re-worded. Hawkeye7 (talk) 17:51, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * "Japanese aircraft carrier Ryūhō" needs to be appropriately italicized in the lead, and again in the World War II section.
 * Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 17:51, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Flag officer should be linked in the last para of the lead.
 * Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 17:51, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * "Only one Enterprise plane was lost in combat, although five more were lost operationally." -- It might be helpful to clarify what you mean by "operationally."
 * Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 17:51, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * CINCPAC should be spelled out on first reference, and abbreviated after.
 * Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 17:51, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Any explination as to why the Jig Dog Ramage Award was discontinued after 2009?
 * It hasn't been discontinued, but the records have become messy. Will attempt to clean it up. Hawkeye7 (talk) 17:51, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I see you've added the 2011 one. Is that all that is available? — Ed! (talk) 12:25, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I did a bit better than that, but am missing 2008. Hawkeye7 (talk) 18:35, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Dup links tool returns one result: aircraft carrier. Dab links and external links return no problems.
 * There are no apparent issues with stability. The article is also amply illustrated by properly lisenced illustration.
 * Placing the article on hold pending fixes. — Ed! (talk) 16:11, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

I think the award missing one year is fine for GA. Passing the article now. — Ed! (talk) 19:30, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
