Dynamic positioning was a good article nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. Reviewed version: April 14, 2007 |
I have added referenes to class requirements and I want to add a page about Class 2.5.
This is because this is an issue in which I am interested.
If any one else shares this interest then "say".

[edit] Class 2.5
It looks to me as if the author made up the term himself. If so this entry can be deleted. Otherwise please show where the term comes from. 194.151.10.81 23:12, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dynamic postioning
As Smit said (back in october :o), these should be merged as it is obviously a typo... I'll let someone who knows the subject though. --Dean Earley 19:16, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] GA
Sorry but i'm failing this article. It is currently too list and contains too many tables making it fail crieria 1a "well-written". Also with references they are missing details such as publisher, author and date (of there are) and last access date. An ample of this can be found at Reign in Blood go to the reference section. The {{cite web}} may help.
The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.
- Consider adding more links to the article; per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links) and Wikipedia:Build the web, create links to relevant articles.[?]
- There may be an applicable infobox for this article. For example, see Template:Infobox Biography, Template:Infobox School, or Template:Infobox City.[?] (Note that there might not be an applicable infobox; remember that these suggestions are not generated manually)
- Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -
between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 1000 meter, use 1000 meter, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 1000 meter.[?] - Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), headings generally should not repeat the title of the article. For example, scope of Dynamic positioning could be renamed to Scope
- Please make the spelling of English words consistent with either American or British spelling, depending upon the subject of the article. Examples include: meter (A) (British: metre), metre (B) (American: meter), ization (A) (British: isation), isation (B) (American: ization), any more (B) (American: anymore).
- Nowadays there are more than 1000 DP ships. Please elaborate on this, As of (insert date) and is it with DP?
- You should merge the History section into three paragraphs with some references.
Basically the tables and lists should be turned into prose and some more inline references would be nice. M3tal H3ad 08:19, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Should Dynamic Positioning Systems be merged into this article?
I propose merging Dynamic Positioning Systems into this article. Cardamon 21:58, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
- I have done this merger. It would be good if an expert were to check it. Cardamon (talk) 04:17, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Cruise Vessels
Lately a lot of cruise vessels (older and newer) have been fitted with DP systems or equivalents due to the increasing number of tropical destinations that have put a ban on anchorage and lacks port facilities for large cruise vessels. So to put an end to the need of anchoring, many of these vessels use such positioning systems to maintain anchorage without the use of anchors. --Skippern (talk) 18:49, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
