 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article was expanded fivefold within seven days, is well written and referenced and has no copyvio concerns. Hook is interesting and supported by a reliable source. Image appears suitably licensed and the user has submitted a QPQ review to meet the requirement. Good to go. Kosack (talk) 08:13, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but Mussolini is not mentioned in the article. (Nor is he mentioned on the Diana page.) Yoninah (talk) 22:01, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, the Diana article does say designed as a yacht and despatch vessel for the Italian Head of Government, and Mussolini was the head of government from 1922 to 1943. Added "formerly Mussolini's yacht", which is supported by the references.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:08, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you. But of the two inline citations, one doesn't mention Mussolini, and the other says it was his yacht, not "formerly" his yacht. Also, what do you want to do about the hook? Adding "formerly Mussolini's yacht" takes the punch out of it. Yoninah (talk) 16:29, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Deleted "formerly", which matches the source.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:25, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you. Restoring tick per Kosack's review. Yoninah (talk) 00:51, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
