*I believe the quote first appeared in an article in ''[[The Sunday Times]]'' on 20 July 2008: "Andrey Melnichenko's battleship heads to sea" by Maurice Chittenden. Unfortunately [[News International]] newspaper archives aren't freely available, but I think [http://timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article4364047.ece this] is it if you have access to them. In the meantime, I've add a citation to the ST article, albeit without a URL. Is that sufficient? ''--[[User:DeLarge|DeLarge]] ([[User talk:DeLarge|talk]]) 00:28, 26 February 2012 (UTC)''

**[[File:Symbol confirmed.svg|16px]] I checked [[factiva]] and that quote is indeed used by that article (with a slightly different title). I've removed the blog and another one, but now the article is good to go. [[User:Smartse|SmartSE]] ([[User talk:Smartse|talk]]) 21:33, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

A (yacht)

A, moored at St. John's, Antigua

  • ... that the Philippe Starck-designed A has been described as both "the most extraordinary yacht launched in recent memory" and "one of the ghastliest megayachts ever created"?

  • Symbol possible vote.svg The "the most extraordinary yacht launched in recent memory" in the hook is sourced to this blog which doesn't appear reliable. I've pulled the hook from prep. SmartSE (talk) 21:46, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
