- It is well-written, comprehensive and accurate.
- It has images and other media where they are appropriate to the subject, with succinct captions.

Brice, Ethan/Warp Drive and the Ithassa Five
Support as Nominator: A wonderfully in-depth and thoughtful article about a band on the periphery of simming. Ethan may have just made them up, but if you read this article, you'd never know it. If we can create articles like this about a band that showed up at an inter-ship celebration one night, just think of the kind of insightful and enlightening articles we could create about characters and things we sim about every day! Great Job, Ethan! -Lt. Kolk 17:14, 26 October 2008 (EDT)
Comment: Probably should be a page on it's own rather than a sub-page. Good level of detail but needs to be copy-edited for typos & things like inter-wiki links. Just added a category and changed another. Not far off at the moment though. - Lt Cmdr. Salak Talk 17:22, 26 October 2008 (EDT)
Previous ships called Independence
Support as Nominator: One that I rewrote from the ground up a little while ago. However, it shows a summary of each ship to have borne the name, a pic for most of them (none could be found for the earliest ones), hopefully insightful prose into the history of a name that has long been a presence in both the US Navy and more recently the UFOP fleet. - Lt Cmdr.
