Stopping after the lead/infobox. Is this helpful for the rationale, or is there a better approach I could take with this? Hog Farm Talk 01:50, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
Hog Farm, BusterD, where does this nomination stand? It looks like the last time this page and the article were edited was on May 10, four weeks ago. It would be great if this could make progress. Many thanks. BlueMoonset ( talk) 15:58, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
@ Hog Farm:: Lots of stuff done now, let's give this another look please. I feel much better about it but not everything is done. In particular there's a multipage source and I'd like a strategy for page numbers, which I don't do well. I really prefer having the reflist ALSO be the only list of used refs, so I don't like separating them as I've seen so often done on great pagespace. BusterD ( talk) 20:00, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
Body - "and was on the staff of Lucky Bag during his senior year". Recommend indicating what Lucky Bag was in the text
Body - "and his plane the Spirit of St. Louis" I think the names of individual planes are italicized
Body - " In November, Ranger escorted 20,000 Canadian troops convoy leaving Halifax, Nova Scotia" - I'm not sure that this sentence works grammatically
Body - " Between May 1941 and February 1942, Ranger made four deliveries of Curtis P-40 Warhawk aircraft transported from NAS Quonset Point to Accra." - citation needed
Sources - not finding the details about the convoy in the cited source?
Body - "The carrier dodged a torpedo attack from Vichy submarine Le Tonnant, but Ranger's air groups shot down 16 enemy aircraft and sank three submarines during successful operations with no losses in men or aircraft." citation needed
Ready for the Korean War stuff, will resume soon. Hog Farm Talk 00:16, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
Sources - "and served until retired in 1957" - supporting source is from 1954, so you'll need to add another ref in here
This is looking much better now. Hog Farm Talk 18:02, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
Withdrawing nomination. For reasons I can't explain, I just keep putting this off. @ Hog Farm: I'm very sorry to the reviewer who has shown enormous patience. I'll bring it back when it's ready. BusterD ( talk) 12:57, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
