Article Lede is ridiculous

edit

The opening paragraph zooms in on the death count. This is not how introductions to article work: the introduction summarizes the salient facts of the subject matter. Instead, the intro paragraph wanders around the events surrounding the incident looking for dead bodies. Please fix.842U (talk) 17:25, 31 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Help?

edit

The section Costa Concordia disaster#External links has a cleanup template, but I do not know how to fix the problem. I would really like to get this article to featured status, but this template will not do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Cessaune (talk) 02:11, 6 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Improved to Good Article status by Cessaune (talk). Self-nominated at 22:31, 24 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Costa Concordia disaster; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.Reply

  •   GA-promoted, obviously up to standards, no plagiarism; fine hook with an interesting fact; images correctly licensed. QPQ not done, but apparently not required either. I would consider this as a leader of a DYK set, and as such using one of the images. Dahn (talk) 08:13, 27 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Helmsman

edit

According to the article on Captain Schettino, the helmsman spoke neither Italian nor English. Was this a factor in his responding incorrectly to orders? And even if not, it seems bizarre and reckless to hire a helmsman who could not communicate with the ship's officers.Bill (talk) 19:08, 24 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
