GA on hold
Hi. I almost passed this straight up, but then I looked it over again and I think the lede needs a little work - as it is, I don't feel that it adequately introduces the articles yet. It works on the assumption that the ship may be fictional, but doesn't really explain that assumption. Can you insert a sentence or two summarising the historical sources who mention it and a little bit on Casson's modern analysis? Once that is done I'll be happy to pass it.--Jackyd101 (talk) 17:14, 12 October 2017 (UTC)


 * It is reasonably well written.

 * 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):
 * Lede needs a nudge - see above.


 * It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * a (fair representation): b (all significant views):
 * It is stable.
 * It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
 * a (tagged and captioned): b (lack of images does not in itself exclude GA):  c (non-free images have fair use rationales):
 * Overall:
 * a Pass/Fail:
 * a Pass/Fail:

Note: the user who nominated this hasn't edited wikipedia in over a month, and usually in these situations I would fail the article. However, as I note above, the article is actually quite close to passing and I'm reluctant to simply fail and move on when a few tweaks are enough. In the end I simply decided to expand the lede myself, which I know is bending the rules a little, but what the hell. So, with an expanded lede, this article now passes GA. If you object, I'll see you at GAR. Best--Jackyd101 (talk) 10:14, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
