The Vasa is one of the oldest preserved warships in the world, and me and User:Peter Isotalo have been working on it to bring it to FAC, with GA (it is currently a candidate) as an intermediate goal. Feedback from the milhist experts here would be much appreciated on how to improve it further. henriktalk 09:59, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Very good article, overall; a few suggestions, though:

  • ✓ The bulleted list in the "Armament" section may be better as prose or in a floated box of some sort.
  • There are some statistics in the "Ornamentation" section that need to be cited.
  • The "See also" section should be eliminated; if the terms can't be linked to sensibly in the article, they typically don't need to be linked at all.
  • ✓ "Sources" should probably be "References".
  • ✓ Some of the external links seem a bit questionable.

The See also-links are highly relevant to the topic at hand, namely naval warfare (especially that of the 17th century) and marine archaeology. Trying to work them into the article would needlessly burden the prose. I'm all for cleaning up link farms, but a mere five links doesn't exactly smack of excess.

Thanks for your comments, they're much appreciated. I've taken the liberty of marking the suggestions that (hopefully) have been addressed with a ✓ the same way I saw User:Oberiko do. henriktalk 21:45, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
