Units Mercedes D.III
Hi, I edited your article on Mercedes D.III after noticing many units had no convert template. Good job generating this article. One thing that still needs fixing is the fuel and oil consumption per hour does not state whether it's US gallons per hour or imperial gallon per hour. I'm assuming the original unit was metric? I've tried the citation but cannot access the actual source, it depends who wrote the book, a Brit or an American? Do you remember or do you have the book used for the citations? Many thanks, Avi8tor (talk) 16:03, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

The article AtariWriter you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold. The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:AtariWriter and Talk:AtariWriter/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed.
