 * Symbol confirmed.svg Solid work and well-referenced article. It's also timely because Blue Origin has recently made public more of its plans, including this recovery ship. I'd select ALT1 as simplest and most catchy, with a slight change of hook anchor: "a moving ship" rather than just "moving ship". — JFG talk 14:43, 1 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the review and comments. I agree, and have adjusted the hook anchors to include the word "a" inside the link anchor.  I don't care whether the ALT1 or the orginal/main one is used.  Question:  should I switch the current ALT to the main one, and the main one to ALT1, or would that screw up the historical records?  Cheers.   N2e (talk) 18:25, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
