Image:Coast guard flag.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 06:29, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
The article lists numerous reference sources, yet very little of the SPARS story has found its way into the article itself. Should anyone be watching this page, I plan to rework and expand the article (subject to the MOS) with the expectation of upgrading its Stub-class rating.

As part of my recent GOCE edit, I tried to unify the usage/formatting of the term "SPARS" (and variants). Looking through the sources revealed a variety of usage, even within articles produced by one organization (such as the USCG online newsletter "My CG", searching for articles tagged "SPARs" or "Spar"). So I made some choices, based on USCG usage, and came up with my own 'standard'. In my edits, I have:
I know this may be splitting hairs: but it does help making other small edits (such as checking verb tense, or deciding whether "the" is needed before "SPARS"). This is me being pedantically transparent. — Yogabear2020 (N.B. NoviceEditor; Talk) 00:39, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

I just finished doing a GOCE edit, per a request by @ Pendright on the GOCE Request page ( WP:GOCER). As part of this, I attempted to:
That's most of it. Thanks for your patience as this novice tried to finish the task. Yogabear2020 (N.B. NoviceEditor; Talk) 00:48, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
@ Pendright mentioned in GOCE Request for Copyedit ( WP:GOCE/REQ) that this article might be put up for an A-class review (ACN). I thinks it looks pretty good, but I've noted a few sections that could perhaps use some attention (if someone wanted to), especially to add to the "story":

That's my two-cents. — Yogabear2020 (N.B. NoviceEditor; Talk) 00:52, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
@ Yogabear2020: @ Cuprum17:
My two-cents worth
Here are some examples of the changes made that contradict accepted rules of the road; they are, in my view, important enough to bring to your attention.
Punctuating independent clauses
Paragraph splitting
Which vs. that & had been vs. was
I look forward to your reply. Pendright ( talk) 21:47, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
Started a new thread in response to previous which was getting long and seemed to be drifting from the topic mentioned in heading.
In the clear light of day, I went back over the article and found a few occurrences of semicolon used between independent clauses connected by a conjunction that still remain, as well as other semicolon-related potential errors. These errors are probably all my own, from my previous editing session, as discussed in the thread above. As due diligence, I list them below; I haven't changed them, leaving this up to consensus from others. Again, apologies for any errors I may have made in my previous editing session.
I have included suggestions for from this to this instead (whether or not these are useful, and I'm sure there might be other fixes).
There is also an occurrence of semicolons used in series (for a list) with one semicolon missing (I think):
Also perhaps two misplaced semicolons (where just a comma is needed?):
I'll let consensus decide what is appropriate (so I don't need a ping): I don't feel comfortable making the changes myself (although they are probably my own previous errors). Thanks for your tolerance, and my apologies for the extra work. I hope this helps the overall effort without coming across as biting. —
