Please reply to each item with a brief textual comment like "Done" so I can see how we're progressing.

 * There are several citations needed tags in the text.

 * If the box of 3 portals is needed at all then it should go in External links. At the moment it's interrupting the column format of the References.

 * The Airborne and Floating wind turbines are subtypes; they should be removed from "See also" and covered very briefly, linked, and cited in the main text.

 * Some refs such as [39] Inwind, [40] Inwind, [73] De Vries, [79] Riviera, [126] Guinness need a date. Please check all the refs to ensure they have dates and publishers/websites.

 * Some of the authors are cited in "John R. Doe" format, others in "Doe, John R." I suggest we format all of the refs in "Doe, John R." for consistency and readability.
 * Would you mind giving the specific ones that aren't cited in Doe, John R. format? I don't see what you mean. Thanks. Knowledgegatherer23  ( Say Hello ) 01:55, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Eh? for instance [7], [28], [29], [34], [37], [46], [48], [49], [92], [94]. So, [46] says "Michael Barnard" when it should say "Barnard, Michael". And so on. The easiest and best way to sort this out is to use "|last=Barnard |first=Michael" and the citation template will automatically format the thing for you.
 * By the way, I will not be available this weekend to work on the comments. Would you be able to give me extra time? I can definitely have it done by June 10. Knowledgegatherer23  ( Say Hello ) 02:00, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
 * No problem.

 * The section of text named "References" should be renamed to "Wind power density" or similar; the name "References" is already in use (section 14) as in a million other articles for the list of inline refs.

 * The Records section is a mass of headings and very short paragraphs. Suggest it would work better as a table with columns for Record, Description, Location, and perhaps Constructor or Manufacturer.

 * The section "Comparison with fossil-fuel turbines" is misnamed as the alternatives named include nuclear. The discussion of birds killed by cats and buildings is also nothing to do with fossil-fuel turbines. Some renaming or restructuring is needed.

 * (Not Done) Um, I wasn't asking you to suppress the (correct and appropriate) mention of nuclear, which remains a low-carbon alternative, no matter how unpopular; it's also fully dispatchable, which wind isn't. Please put it back, and as this thread suggested, rename the section to match the contents.
 * Sorry for the misunderstanding, all fixed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Knowledgegatherer23 (talk • contribs) 23:44, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks, certainly an improvement. I'd suggest also comparing wind's overall carbon output (from manufacturing, etc.) with nuclear as it's relevant and in a way quite a key point.


 * In "Demolition and recycling", the advertisement for Casper, Wyoming is both uncited and out of place - no recycling is involved, and the result is long-lived waste in a landfill, not exactly something Wikipedia should be advocating.

 * Ref [15] Wyatt needs page number(s).
 * (Done) Knowledgegatherer23  ( Say Hello ) 21:44, 31 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Ref [17] Vermont Business Magazine is a dead link. You may be able to retrieve it at archive.org or similar.
 * (Done) Knowledgegatherer23  ( Say Hello ) 00:12, 7 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Ref [51] needs publisher and date.
 * (Done) Knowledgegatherer23  ( Say Hello ) 00:12, 7 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Ref [53] Singh needs ISBN and should be formatted using the Cite book template.
 * I think this is done... Knowledgegatherer23  ( Say Hello ) 00:12, 7 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Ref [58] NREL should name and wikilink the publisher (|publisher= ...).
 * Same here. Knowledgegatherer23  ( Say Hello ) 00:12, 7 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Ref [72] Composites World needs author, date, and publisher (Wood, Karen; 31 May 2012; Composites World).
 * I couldn't find this source. I think it was replaced. Knowledgegatherer23  ( Say Hello ) 00:12, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
