@Wilhelmina Will: - I think you might have forgotten about this GAN (and these two). Parsecboy (talk) 13:21, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You're right; I should get on with these. I just need to do a few other things, offline and on, and then I'll see to this very one. Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 10:48, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

In Service history, Admiral Carlo Pellion di Persano is referred to by his full name in both the first paragraph and the second paragraph. Oughtn't his second mentioning to be reduced to his surname, and his position as the commander of the Italian fleet to be mentioned only in the first paragraph?
- Fixed, good catch.
In Design, it mentions that "Her engine produced a top speed of 13.74 knots (25.45 km/h; 15.81 mph) from 2,548 indicated horsepower (1,900 kW), making her the fastest member of her class." While I understand that the entire paragraph that line comes from is meant to be verified by citation 1, if the cite were also provided right after this line, I think it could qualify as a hook for DYK, upon this article's GA promotion. Other than these two points, everything checks out. Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 11:32, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not all that concerned with DYK, to be honest - I haven't been particularly thrilled with interactions I've had there in the past. Thanks though. Parsecboy (talk) 12:54, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Understood; no big deal. I should be wrapping this up now, however; mustn't let myself be sidetracked any longer... Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 23:31, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say this article is "Good" to go. Congratulations! Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 23:35, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
