Alaska class cruisers
This Good Topic is a joint effort by The ed17 and me. Ed took care of the class and Hawaii articles a few years ago, and I handled the Alaska and Guam articles within the last couple months. Plans are afoot to push Hawaii to FA sometime in the not too distant future, so this project may very well be bumped to to a Featured Topic. Note that there were three other ships of the class, none of which were laid down, so they accordingly do not have articles. Parsecboy (talk) 23:27, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
 * How "not too distant"? FT takes a month, minimum, to do anything, so if you're going to have it done in a month...  S ven M anguard   Wha?  00:01, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Does it matter? It'd be automatically promoted to FT, wouldn't it? Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 19:40, 1 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Support - Regardless of whether it's heading for GT or FT status, this topic seems perfectly suitable to me. If it's promoted now surely it's not too difficult to upgrade its standing, isn't it? GRAPPLE   X  02:00, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Support - This article is a sterling example of just about everything a Wiki entry is ideally supposed to be. Solicitr (talk) 16:52, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * On pl.wiki we have something what we call Olaf test. Open all ship text from Topic and compare data in infobox. In your situation you have problem with passing this test. Armament: U A: 305, U G: 305, U H: 300 mm, A class - no metric data. Second caliber: U A: 127 mm, U G: 127 mm, U H: 130 mm, 127 mm. And other values: U A: Standard: 29,779 long tons, UG: Standard: 29,779 long tons, U H: 29,779 tons, A class 29,771 tons. Yes, I know that only inches are important because its before US Navy move to metric system, but remember that couple people use metric as main system. And its a little more than me and my friends from pl.wiki :). So please fix infoboxes. PMG (talk) 00:47, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
