Technical review
- No problems with dab or external links.
Referencing
Is there a particular reason you need both editions of Knaack? In any case, you only seem to cite Knaack once, using the original 1978 edition, and the page range is missing.Citations 5 and 9 take me to the Eisenhower library but not to the articles/pages in question.Citations 15 and 17 seem to employ the same website but the format used is inconsistent.
Prose/content/structure
- Copyedited; let me know if I've inadvertently altered any meaning.
- Spot check of avaliable online refs indicated no close paraphrasing.
From a spelling point of view I note "canceled" (US) in the lead and infobox, then "cancellation" (presumably British only) in the body, so pls check for consistency. Also the quote by Neil H. McElroy uses "cancelled" -- pls check the source for the exact spelling.
Supporting materials
- Image licensing checks out okay. Fascinating to see a design that looks like a cross between the Delta Dart and the Vigilate...
- I note that the infobox image is subject to a deletion notice because the source doesn't confirm US government and therefore PD. The 3-view drawing might be in the same boat, actually. I don't know if you're able to deal with this -- won't affect GA status but be a shame to lose either of them. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 12:39, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
Summary
- Nice article with no major problems; if you can address the outstanding points I'll be happy to pass. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 05:15, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
- All done. Yeah, since you brought the point up, the Rapier is very reminiscent of the Vigilante, although I suspect the latter was partially derived from the Rapier. Sp33dyphil "Ad astra" 07:21, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
