I will take a look at this shortly. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 19:08, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Prelim

• No duplicated links
• Image correctly licensed
• Article is stable
• Earwig reports no copyvio

Lede and infobox

• What happened to the six later orders? Neither main text nor lede mentions their fate
• What's the WD.27? The only mention is in the lede header
• The idea that it is "long range" is in lede and infobox but not clearly mentioned in main text, suggest adding a word or two to ensure this is cited

Background and description

• While I am aware of your reluctance to repeat content in the lede in main text for short articles, I really think you need to do more of it here. The lede is a summary of the main text, not an introduction to it. Please add mention of WWI, the Imperial German Navy, and the tractor-pusher nature of the engines. This content is currently uncited, being only present in the lede
• Link Otto Philipp if that's the correct one?
  • Not sure; I can't find a first name for the guy--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:48, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
• Link Zeppelin-Staaken
• Link Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI
  • Both linked in the lede--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:48, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
• "bombardardier's" sp
• "Balanced ailerons..." for this and the following sentence, do we know what impact these features/changes had?
  • The only thing that I know for certain is that they made moving the control surfaces easier for the pilot, which is explained in the link.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:48, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
• You name a lot of different roles for the aircraft, which I assume will have been shared by the crew. To avoid confusion, could you mention the crew complement earlier than the "Specifications" section?
• What's a gravity tank?
  • Explained better--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:48, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

History

• Link Warnemünde

References

• References look good, I can find no sources that expand on this article. AGF for print sources.

@Sturmvogel 66: Hi, that's all I have for now. Pickersgill-Cunliffe ([[User talk:|talk]]) 13:40, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

@Pickersgill-Cunliffe: See if my changes are satisfactory.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:50, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

@Sturmvogel 66: Passing this as satisfying the GA criteria. I expect Zeppelin-Staaken 8301 might turn blue in the future! Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 20:00, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

I rather expect it might, although probably not right away.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:51, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
