Reviewer: Buggie111 (talk · contribs · count) 17:27, 25 September 2011 (UTC) Hi Nate! I'm gonna review this article, basing it off of SMS Roon, another cruiser that's at GA class, along with the standard criteria.[reply]

Refs look good, maybe find a website to back up the sources (not necessary) for people who don't have access to the books. Either that, or link to the books in Google Books.
- I'm not real keen on external links, mainly because they're usually very sparse and generally falsely claim copyrights on images they don't own. Parsecboy (talk) 18:47, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"They were assigned to the II Scouting Group, alongside the cruisers Königsberg, Pillau, Graudenz, Nürnberg, and Karlsruhe" Whose "they"? The recon screen?
- Fixed. Parsecboy (talk) 18:47, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"The ship then went to Swinemünde, where she was partially scuttled and subsequently re-floated and returned to seaworthy condition". by whom? Was there some interesting mutiny/counter-mutiny sequence on the ship?
- Some further details added. Parsecboy (talk) 18:47, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"When informed of the situation, the Kaiser stated, I no longer have a navy". Kind of out of place.
- Removed. Parsecboy (talk) 18:47, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"Dresden was among the ships interned, but owing to her poor condition following the naval mutiny, she was not able to steam with the rest of the fleet in November. She arrived on 6 December, leaking badly." Possibly explain why the British let her stay until December, who paid for/did the repairs on her (I'm assuming she needed some to make the crossing).
- Because she simply couldn't steam with the fleet :p Woodward and van der Vat don't say anything more specific about repairs than that the crew made the ship seaworthy again. Parsecboy (talk) 18:47, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Translate Ersatz (i.e. Replacement Adriane)
