  • Comment: "world's largest" may not hold up, googling for world's largest car ferry fleet returns BC Ferries in Canada (36), not Pere Marquette. Competing sources are going to complicate this. Can you add a year for when Pere Marquette claimed to be top? Or replace world claim with a specific number? 70.67.222.124 (talk) 16:53, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Attention I.P. - Conversation of such nature should be done at the article Talk Page. The DYK reviewer can determine what the solution is here. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 17:47, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
