A short article, but one that is well-written and doesn't seem to be missing much (looked to see if there were sources to be added, and nothing obvious stood out as missing). Good work; this shouldn't need much more work before it's good to promote. [[User:Hog Farm|Hog Farm]] <sub> [[User talk:Hog Farm|Talk]]</sub> 18:37, 8 August 2021 (UTC) |

I can, of course, find other dredgers in the area (such as [https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:5852135/mmsi:368068820/imo:0/vessel:DB_IRONBOUND DB IRONBOUND], for which I can get basic information like length and draft). My guess is that, since she roams in a small area and stays on private property, she might just not be registered or accessible in this type of database. I asked [[User:GreatLakesShips]], who writes a lot of articles about ships, who also had no idea how to get better information about this type of thing.

Will review this soon. Hog Farm Talk 04:46, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- "Salt ponds on which Mallard II is used must be kept at a higher water level than they otherwise would be, owing to her draft." - do we know the draft measurement?
- Do any of the sources state what the dredger's dimensions were?
- "using her clamshell bucket to remove material from a "borrow pit"; this material is then deposited atop the levee" - link borrow pit and remove the quotation marks, as it is a set-meaning term
- "and prevent water from "flooding San Jose and other urban areas below the high-tide level"" - possibly an excessive use of a direct quote here for something that probably doesn't need to be a direct quote. Is there a way to rephrase this?
- Image licensing is accurate
- Sources are all reliable and are formatted well enough
A short article, but one that is well-written and doesn't seem to be missing much (looked to see if there were sources to be added, and nothing obvious stood out as missing). Good work; this shouldn't need much more work before it's good to promote. Hog Farm Talk 18:37, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Hog Farm: Thanks for the feedback
- Regarding draft, length, construction date etc: frankly, I've been scratching my head about measurements and specifications. I couldn't find any online when I was writing the article, and I'm not aware of any database that's got an entry for it. Even at marinetraffic.com, which shows a relatively current map of thousands of ships, doesn't seem to know Mallard II from Adam (I checked it a while ago, on a day when I'd seen it with my own eyes a few hours earlier; marinetraffic didn't show anything at said location). Searching for US ships named Mallard there turns up this, this, this, this, this, this, this, and this; none look remotely like Mallard II or are located anywhere near San Francisco Bay. I can, of course, find other dredgers in the area (such as DB IRONBOUND, for which I can get basic information like length and draft). My guess is that, since she roams in a small area and stays on private property, she might just not be registered or accessible in this type of database. I asked User:GreatLakesShips, who writes a lot of articles about ships, who also had no idea how to get better information about this type of thing. jp×g 01:58, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
