USRC Androscoggin
The last section has a sentence stating that the vessel needed repairs after the "fishing net incident." The preceding text mentions an investigation of tampering with fishing nets but no fishing net incident. I think the reason for the repairs needs to be clarified. Was there an "incident" of some sort or was the ship simply in need of repairs by the time it finished the investigation? Otherwise, it is B class. Thanks.

 * I have reworded the section and hopefully have satisfied your question. Now B-class? Cuprum17 (talk) 11:42, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Nice work on USRC Androscoggin!
Just read USRC Androscoggin - very nice! Chetsford (talk) 03:12, 19 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Thank you! This is the first new article that I have written in years. Although the research was tedious, I enjoyed putting the facts together to complete the article. Cuprum17 (talk) 11:41, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Much obliged
Thank you for lending your time and talent to improving the SPARS article. I’m looking forward to having it reviewed. Since 2019, I have reviewed around a 100 articles-AC and FAC-and it has been a valuable learning experience for me. BTW, in 2015 I was interviewed by a Wikipedia Foundation writer about my service aboard the USS Mahan (364). I thought you might like reading it - :https://diff.wikimedia.org/2015/09/04/wwii-veteran-wikipedia/ . In any event, I’m well and hope you and all your family are too. Your shipmate!

GOCE edit ongoing for SPARS
Hello @Cuprum17. I see you have done some recent editing on SPARS. I am currently trying to do an GOCE edit on the page, hence the tag at the top indicating a GOCE Edit in progress. If possible, could you hold off on making any more edits? This is taking some time, as I'm a bit new to this; but I'm getting a bit confused with edits back and forth between me and you. In particular, I'm trying to adjust spelling for SPARS, SPARs, and SPAR, to differentiate between the Organization/Branch itself, the use of the branch as an adjective (Reserve personnel = SPAR personnel), and the individual SPARs (a service member). I'm basing this on the various sources, including the usage of "SPARS" [sic] in the oral history by Stratton.

Let me know if you can hold off for a bit? Sorry it's taking so long. Thanks. — Yogabear2020 (N.B. NoviceEditor; Talk) 19:10, 24 March 2024 (UTC)


 * I did look at your diffs, and noted the spelling errors, etc. Thanks! (Maybe I should ask you to look again when I'm done? That would be helpful.) Again, sorry it's taking so long; I do appreciate the effort to fix my mistakes. Hope you are well. Once again,  Yogabear2020 (N.B. NoviceEditor; Talk) 19:14, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
