Review

[edit]
I am happy to review this article. Bruxton (talk) 14:31, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Sturmvogel 66: I have posted some suggestions. Bruxton (talk) 19:59, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

[edit]
FYI: I prefer no citations in the lead, so my suggestion is to repeat the information and cite in the body. I always check to see that the lead summary has all information cited in the body.
Green tickY Gothaer Waggonfabrik is mentioned in the lead but not in the body
I figured Gotha and Gothaer Waffonfabrik were close enough for readers to grasp that they were the same company, but I've added a parenthetical note--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:19, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Green tickY Marine-Fliegerabteilung is mentioned in the lead but not in the body
I only use the German names on first use, and generally refer to them using the English name.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:19, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Green tickY "compared to aircraft with the more common tractor configuration with the engine in the nose and was not approved for production." not mentioned and cited in the body
Testing by the Seaplane Experimental Command (Seeflugzeug-Versuchs-Kommando) at Warnemünde revealed that the WD.3 was overweight and had mediocre performance. The command therefore ruled out the possibility of any further pusher-configuration aircraft.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:19, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Green tickY "its ultimate fate is unknown." not sure I see this information in the body.
Clarified.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:19, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar

[edit]

Development and description section

[edit]
Green tickY "Gotha had been built a series of single-engine maritime reconnaissance floatplanes" consider that the sentence might have an extra word "been"
Indeed.
Green tickY "These were unarmed scouts" consider linking or describe what an "unarmed scout" is?
linked
Green tickY "In the days before the development of the interrupter gear," consider a blurb describing what this is.
Green tickY "The booms incorporated the inner structs connecting the wings" I m not familiar with the word "structs"
Me neither :-( Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:22, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Operational history

[edit]
Green tickY "the same month that World War I" Consider linking WWI in the body?
It's a pretty short article
Green tickY "which showed that the project was not a high priority" consider expanding upon why developing the plane in 13 months showed that the project was not a high priority.
Clarified
Green tickY "WD.3 was overweight and had mediocre performance" consider explaining or describing how much heavier and how mediocre the performance in comparison or related to expectations.
My sources don't provide any more detail than that.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:26, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

[edit]
Green tickY Earwig comes up with zero. I will go through each citation.
Green tickY Not sure how I can access these sources. Any ideas? I can AGF based on your editing history but I would be satisfied if I could confirm several citations.
Thank you for the email with screen shots of sources. Bruxton (talk) 21:21, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Images

[edit]
Green tickY There are two images in the article and both appear to be PD and or properly licensed and free.
