  • "converted into a barracks ship, and assigned to the U-boat school in Kiel. In October 1911, Moltke was renamed Acheron and converted to serve as barracks ship for U-boat crews at Kiel" Seems repetative, and we don't need two links to barracks ship and U-Boat in two sentences.
    • Good catch - I rewrote that a couple of times and forgot to take that out.
  • Infobox "Draft 502 m (1,647 ft 0 in)" Obvious typo :)
    • Haha, that's quite a tall ship
  • Need to say somewhere in the body that she was the fourth ship to be completed (based on the lead information)
    • Added
  • "going to the West indies and concluding on 22 March 1895." Capitalise Indies here.
    • Good catch
  • " were on 7 July she met" Where.
    • Fixed
  • "and Germany feared that unrest in the island would threaten Germans, so she was sent to Havana." Should likely be explicit as to what island you're talking about.
    • Good idea
  • "stopping in Dartmouth to celebrate" Dartmouth is a dab link.
    • Fixed
  • The redlink in "heavy storms forced her to stop in Santandar, Spain." lives at Santander, Spain, I think, though I hesitate due to the slightly different spelling.
    • I usually go to articles to copy the title to avoid stuff like that, but every once in a while, I say to myself "nah, I can type that correctly"...and here we are.
  • Nothing but a few nitpicks, really. Courcelles (talk) 03:09, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
