USS Constitution

 * Previous peer review when the article was sub-B-class is here

Been almost a year since passing to FA. I'm quite confident this article still meets FA requirements. I've maintained the article with updating and adding alt text, reverting silliness etc. Since going FA I have removed two large chunks of information and moved them to the main original six frigate article. I also went through and removed some of the more trivial things that were awkward and difficult to place in prose correctly. Therefore I'm hoping to get feedback on the flow and prose of the article. Is it still understandable to the average reader? Did moving the information leave some things unexplained? I have never been totally thrilled with the prose and flow of the article so copy edits are welcome. It's also hard to believe a year has passed! --Brad (talk) 01:56, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Cite nitpicks
 * Full stops at the end of all cites?
 * No date, volume, edition, pages (other magazine cites in the same boat where you've referenced an online version): Cuticchia, Rosalie A. "Celebrating The History Of The U.S.S. Constitution". Marblehead Magazine.
 * Citation date consistency: Hendrix, Steve (16 November 2003) but yet  Jennings 1966
 * Add to bibliography, repeatedly cited: DANFS.
 * Spacing: Jennings 1966, p.70
 * fn114. DANFS wikilinked for no apparent reason.
 * fn150: No author supplied, article from the 1970s, expectation of attribution in the 1970s Other news articles lack authors.  Consider implementing [Staff Writer] for unnamed newsarticles from the 20th century onwards.  Colon breaks your newspaper citation style consistency (see fn98).  There are other floating colons in newscites, pick one way, stick. ""Happy 200th party for U. S.". Chicago Tribune: p. C12. 30 December 1976."
 * fn148 American Forests not ital? Publisher?  Magazine?  Unclear with your citation style.
 * fn157 contains location data on a book. Not all books have location data.  Standardise one way or the other, or the middle way (no location when location obvious from University Publisher).
 * Well done in keeping the article's references that well for over a year! Fifelfoo (talk) 01:09, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
