Talk:A (motor yacht)

A fact from A (motor yacht) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 1 March 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... 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"?

Edits/reversions

I've more or less restored the former version of the article, with the following changes:

Rick Spilman, author of the Old Salt blog, is a regularly published Salon.com and HuffPost journalist as well as a maritime blogger, so I don't think he's non-notable or unreliable. I only used his blog for supporting citations, so nothing depends on him for reliability, merely supplementary verification (as well as online confirmation of Pelly's quote).
I restored the old title of the Sunday Times article. Don't know how Factiva is formatted, but the only place on the web that the headline appears in that word order is this page; everywhere else seems to favour the former.
I rejigged the ==Reception==. The idea of the style is Pro / Anti / Ambivalent, hence why the WSJ's Frank had his own paragraph. However, I've left him blended in with the critics. I also kept the amended style which promotes the first two critics based on their greater notability, but I don't think there's harm in restoring Mello's opinion. He may not be all that renowned, but it wasn't just a random blog post, it was an article in a dedicated maritime blog that's been on the go for 5-6 years.

I'll be running this through the GA assessment shortly anyway, so the article's likely to evolve and expand further anyway. --DeLarge (talk) 14:16, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Port of Registry

Should the port of registry now be blanked out, given that Hamilton have now de-registered it (same with M/Y A)? Wagnerp16 (talk) 10:07, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
