Gas metal arc welding

This is a 2005 FA whose major contributor is no longer editing. There is uncited text, citation needed tags, and red harv ref errors. It doesn't look like it should be too hard to clean up, if anyone speaks welding. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 17:02, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment I know nothing about the subject but have fixed the harv errors at least. Hopefully someone more knowledge can address the cn tags and uncited text!  Ruby  2010/  2013  19:20, 29 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I've added citations that were originally implied in the text (several paragraphs came from one source). There are still two citation needed tags; one of them is on the simple introductory sentence to the equipment section (where there is a subsection for each item mentioned) and another is for a few sentences at the end of the Globular section that apparently I didn't reference originally. Not sure how to address the first; the second can be handled by removing the text if I can't quickly find a source. Spangineerws  (háblame)  15:14, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Glad to see you, Spangineer! I will review this weekend, and if all is in order, this can likely be closed without a FARC.  Best,  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 16:57, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Added a couple sources to address one citation needed tag. The last one, I would personally just remove, since it's a topic sentence that is clearly meant as a lead-in for the following sections, but I'll leave that for others to decide.  If it needs to be reworked that's fine. Spangineerws  (háblame)  02:27, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

, if you can finish the citations, I think this can be closed without a FARC. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 11:22, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Move to FARC to keep the process on track; three weeks in, citation needs still. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 09:15, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Comment: This looks saveable so I'm giving it a go (which means I am recused on this one). I addressed the remaining cn tags by rewriting the last paragraph of the Development section and adding cites to a couple of new sources. See anything else that needs work, u|SandyGeorgia?
