GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:
    She then replaced her sister Kaiser Friedrich III as the squadron flagship, under the command of Prince Heinrich, which had to be docked for repairs - Which ship was under the command of Heinrich? I think that needs to be clarified. Also, I'm not sure what "Marine-type" boilers are, do you have any more info on this? Gatoclass (talk) 09:14, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I reworded the line, how does it look now? As for the boilers, for some reason Groener refers to them as "Marine-type boilers," what he means is just "naval boiler." Parsecboy (talk) 10:28, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    The reword looks fine. I don't know what a "naval boiler" is either, but I'm not going to hold up the nom just over that. Gatoclass (talk) 10:55, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  1. B. MoS compliance:
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
    C. No original research:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    Would be nice to have a little more detail about the ship's service in the Baltic in WWI. Gatoclass (talk) 09:48, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I know, but it just isn't out there. I've trawled through Google Books for wartime publications, and there isn't much concerned with these ships. Paul Halpern's A Naval History of World War I, which does a pretty good job of covering the Baltic, doesn't mention Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse or any of her sisterships at all. Parsecboy (talk) 11:15, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay, just thought I'd ask. Gatoclass (talk) 09:10, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  1. B. Focused:
  2. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
  3. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:
  4. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
    I tweaked the caption to clarify that it's an image of a sister ship, not Kaiser Wilhelm herself. If that's okay with you we can tick this one. Gatoclass (talk) 09:53, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Seems fine to me. Parsecboy (talk) 11:15, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    Perhaps a tad shorter than the ideal GA, but all aspects are adequately covered, the prose is straightforward and concise, and the article as a whole is well presented. Gatoclass (talk) 10:55, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
