  • Symbol voting keep.svg Hi Spinningspark, review follows: article created 19 January; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; no close paraphrasing noticed from the two sources I have access to; hook is interesting and mentioned in the article, cited to offline sources so AGF on those; I added a couple of commas to the hook to "whose main product was submarine telegraph cable"), I think this is a relative clause - please revert if I am wrong; QPQ carried out. Looks good to me. I have to say I am enjoying your recent articles on this topic; a (very) long time ago I dabbled in this area writing CS Faraday (1874) and Alexander Siemens - Dumelow (talk) 09:12, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
    Thank you for the kind words. Honestly, there are hundreds of articles that could be written in this area, especially on the ships, but companies and cables as well. Even the articles we already have could stand major expansion, some are very thin. But for now, I have one more article to come (the Magnetic Telegraph Company) and then I'm taking the books back to the library. SpinningSpark 10:40, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
