This article has passed a GA review and I think it's ready for A-Class. — Bellhalla (talk) 17:02, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Looks good. Well done. TomStar81 (Talk) 22:01, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Support, issues dealt with.
Comments - apart from these it is a fine little article and happy to support it.
- A couple of things which I'm not sure are really needed in the lead
- "The U-1-class boats were designed by American Simon Lake's Lake Torpedo Boat Company of Bridgeport, Connecticut, and built at the navy yard in Pola"; perhaps it is worth mentioning they were built to an American design, but I'm not sure we need all the details here.
- "During the evaluation of the U-1 boats, the gasoline engines were found to be incapable of powering them to the contracted speed."; again, surely this kind of detail belongs in the body of the article.
- Both valid points. I have tightened up the lead per your suggestions. — Bellhalla (talk) 16:12, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Design and construction.
- "The Navy ordered plans for two boats" seems to indicate that U-1 and U-2 were different designs - while reading in more detail this clearly isn't the case I found it a little confusing.
- I've channged so that it reads "… ordered plans for the building of two boats …" rather than "… ordered plans for two boats …". Do you think that will help avoid similar confusion? — Bellhalla (talk) 16:12, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- What was the design speed referred to above which they failed to meet?
- I wish I knew, but no source provided that key bit of information. :( — Bellhalla (talk) 16:12, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Infobox - the way the 'differences after modernization' are listed aren't entirely clear - did speed, range, complement, armament or dive depth change as a result of the modification? If so are the values listed for those characteristics before or after figures?
- I've reconfigured the infobox so that characteristics known to have changed are indicated by "As built" and "After modernization". Sources don't say whether the other characteristics (speed, range, etc.) were from before or after the modernization, so I have, regrettably, left those ambiguous.. — Bellhalla (talk) 16:12, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Thanks for your review. (My replies are interspersed above. — Bellhalla (talk) 16:12, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Support - all issues that may have existed with the article, from what I can tell have been dealt with. -MBK004 17:46, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
