Revision as of 12:32, 29 April 2014 by imported>Sven Manguard (Still good with the image. I personally wouldn't run that image, per it not being reasonably clear looking at 100x100px, but it does meet the DYK requirements.)

- 16px I am concerned that the bulk of the article is cited to primary sources. Source 1 (Naval Technology) reads like a press release, and I suspect it might be one. The second source is from Bluefin Robotics Corporation. Those two are the most heavily relied upon sources. Sven Manguard Wha? 01:49, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Sven, from what I understood, Naval Technology is pretty much a technology magazine. I agree that the writing seems to be from the POV of a marketing agency, but it seems to me like a regular magazine. As for the official Bluefin website, only the specifications have been taken from there. Should I reword it to say, according to the manufacturer? --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 11:23, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
- Naval Tech calls themselves as a reference site...so I think the POV can be taken for granted. It is a rather reliable source though. BTW, they use almost the same style of writing for other articles too (see 1 2 )....Cheers, ƬheStrikeΣagle sorties 12:55, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
- 16px I'll clear the sources then. This is new enough, long enough, within policy, the hook is appropriate, there is a QPQ, and an image is not under consideration. Sven Manguard Wha? 18:48, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
