World War I
[edit]71.28.83.87 (talk) 11:40, 10 September 2009 (UTC) "After outbreak of WW I" makes it sound like the sinking happened just after the war started, when it was almost a year into the war. I changed it to "during WW I".
- That's a valid point. Thanks for fixing it. Parsecboy (talk) 12:09, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
Linienschiff
[edit]71.28.83.87 (talk) 11:48, 10 September 2009 (UTC) Re Note 2: While 'linienschiff' does mean literally 'ship of the line', and 'schlachtschiff' means 'battleship'; by usage, I would translate 'linienschiff' as 'pre-dreadnought battleship' and 'schlachtschiff' as 'dreadnought battleship'.
- The reason I kept it as "ship of the line" is because the Germans didn't refer to them as "pre-dreadnought." For instace, Erich Gröner's German Warships 1815-1945, which relies on official German documents, refers to the ships as "ships of the line." The later Scharnhorst and Bismarck classes are simply "battleships." Parsecboy (talk) 12:09, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
GA Review
[edit]- This review is transcluded from Talk:SMS Kurfürst Friedrich Wilhelm/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.
Hi there, I am happy to tell you that this article has passed GA without the need for any further improvement. Listed below is information on how the article fared against the Wikipedia:good article criteria, with suggestions for future development. These are not required to achieve GA standard, but they might help in future A-class or FAC review process.
- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS):
- a (prose):
- Can you possibly rephrase the "ancient central battery ironclad Mesudiye"? I understand that in military parlance of the time the 40-year old ship was "ancient", but its not clear for readers that are unfamiliar with naval expressions of the time.
- I added "—built in the early 1870s—" to the line, does that clarify exactly what is meant by "ancient?"
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references):
b (citations to reliable sources):
c (OR):
- a (references):
- I notice in the lead and in the final paragraph that there are a few references that come in the middle of sentances. Can you move them to after punctuation to make it easier to read?
- I wanted to avoid any implication that a specific citation covered anything more than what it did, even if it was half of a sentence. Should I try to reword those lines to avoid mid-sentence citations?
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects):
b (focused):
- a (major aspects):
- Out of interest, who was the commander of E11 at that time? Was it Martin Nasmith (in which case he should be mentioned and linked)?
- If I remember correctly (which I may not), that wasn't the commander of the sub. Unfortunately, I'm away from my books right now, so it'll have to wait until Monday before I'll be able to check.
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- a (fair representation):
b (all significant views):
- a (fair representation):
- It is stable.
- It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
- a (tagged and captioned):
b (lack of images does not in itself exclude GA):
c (non-free images have fair use rationales):
- a (tagged and captioned):
- Overall:
- a Pass/Fail:
- a Pass/Fail:
Thankyou and congratulations, an excellent addition to Wikipedia:Good Articles. All the best.--Jackyd101 (talk) 23:18, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
- I've already passed the article as is, so I leave all of the above to your best judgement. Good job.--Jackyd101 (talk) 02:19, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
