[edit] This could stand some serious work

I am not sure how or why this would be considered a class B article under current guidelines. Ship infobox after ship infobox isn't a article. I've put in a class info box and I would like to reform this article to something like what I would expect in a Wiki article. What the class represent in an advance over the previous class of destroyers and something of the classes history. This needs some work! Tirronan 01:16, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I've cut out the list and placed it in a new article List of Wickes Class Destroyers hopefully this will allow this article to fill in more with actual information on the class instead of being a platform for a list in lie of an article. Tirronan 18:15, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree that it needs some serious work to be a B-class article, and have re-assessed it appropriately. --Kralizec! (talk) 17:59, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
