Comments

World War I; paragraph 3 - This is the first mention of "Jellicoe" in the article, in reading order; judged by the bibliography I presume John Jellicoe is the man this line identifies. Oughtn't his name and position on the ship be stated in this sentence as well? One hand on the mouse, one hand on the keyboard... and the feet can do the rest! Hee-hee!

- The same principle of identification should be applied to "Scheer", mentioned in paragraph 5 of the same section. One hand on the mouse, one hand on the keyboard... and the feet can do the rest! Hee-hee! (talk) 06:11, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yeah, sometimes when I'm writing these things, I forget not everyone knows who Jellicoe and Scheer are ;) Thanks for catching those. Parsecboy (talk) 11:50, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - @Wilhelmina Will: - was there anything else you'd like me to fix? Parsecboy (talk) 20:45, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      - I'm so sorry; I've been enduring a considerably severe case of burnout, in a quantity of fields. No, aside from the above, everything in the article looks fine to me; I'll get this wrapped up accordingly now. :) One hand on the mouse, one hand on the keyboard... and the feet can do the rest! Hee-hee! (talk) 04:56, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

With the above issue/s addressed, and the criteria checked, I am satisfied that this article qualifies for GA status. Congratulations! One hand on the mouse, one hand on the keyboard... and the feet can do the rest! Hee-hee! (talk) 05:02, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
