From Dr. Hildebrandt: Good job, Christopher! Keep up with it.

For SA-17

For my sub/start article I am thinking of choosing Pennsylvania Railroad class T1, Pennsylvania Railroad class T1. I chose this because I happen to know a lot about the t1s and have a few sources I could likely add.

I know it is a sub/ start article because it says so on the talks page.

I guess what could be missing is the fact that the T1s have unofficial steam records. The problem is they are only really known about by second-hand sources that recorded first persons' accounts that may or may not be false. While that is not much to go on to I can also find some sources to fix up some of the misconceptions on the T1 that this article says like how they wheel slipped a lot and give more context for why that is. Also, I think that perhaps the development section could be split into sections regarding development and actual running. Basically, this article needs some better sources and perhaps more defined sections.

In the references of this article, there are a few sources that are hyperlinked, and those work. There are a few books listed, some articles, and some achieved articles listed. There are a few unsupported facts that need citations.

Comparing this article to say the LNER Class A4, shows that this article is lacking in terms of details. To be more precise this article's information is there but it is all compacted into one section, unlike the A4 article. Really the T1 article just needs more sections to spread out its information. Also, A4 has a lot more sources compared to the T1 article which needs a lot more. The T1 article has almost all of its information combined into one section. That need to change as it has almost four different sections of information. From development to how the class was in service all take place in one section. That needs to be split up. Also, the T1 article is completely missing tabs that the A4 article has.

I don't think there are any guides to help with T1s or Maximum battleships.

I am doing Maximum battleship or as I will refer to them Tillman battleships. This article has a major problem or being an almost word to word copy of another source. As for what it is missing is a tiny bit more information on the guns. Just a tiny bit of information on the 18 inch guns of the U.S navy might help a tiny bit. Oh I can add on to the tab and add armor specification on how thick the barbets would be.
