SMS Prinz Adalbert (1901) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Another ship with a WWI-related centenary approaching, this being the ship's sinking in October 1915, the greatest naval disaster of the war for German forces in the Baltic. This passed GAN all the way back in early 2011, but I have since expanded it significantly, and I'd like to have it main-page ready for the centenary. Thanks for reviewing the article.

  • Support: Good work, Parsecboy, I believe that this article meets the A-class criteria. I made a couple of tweaks (please check you are happy with these) and have the following observations:

  • in lead: suggest Baltic during the war.
    • Sounds fine to me
  • in body, speed is converted into kph and mph, but only into kph in infobox
    • Fixed
  • in body, the armor thickness is in m and ft, not mm and in
    • Whoops!
  • errant space after Heinrich (second mention)
    • Good catch.
  • what was the relationship between Prince Adalbert who the ship was named after, and the young man? It begs the question given the ship name.
    • They'd have been...1st cousins, thrice removed, I think?
  • suggest the work was eventually completed
    • Sounds fine.
  • I'm not sure about the use of Kzs when other ranks are not abbreviated
    • A good point
  • suggest adding the word "another" for the sweep of 22 January 1915
    • Works for me
  • suggest dropping "however" in Libau paragraph
    • Ok
  • suggest replacing for the duration of the war with "during the war"
    • Sounds good.
  • pics don't have alt text (not an ACR requirement)
  • no dablinks
  • no external links
  • no overlinking
  • Earwig indicates a close match for part of the final para of this article which appears to have been cut and pasted as the description of youtube (2011) and diveo (2014) wreck dive videos (which are worth a watch if you are into that kind of thing).

Looking very good. Comprehensive coverage and wide use of reliable sources. Regards, Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 11:50, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
