Another interesting article from Sturmvogel 66 covering one of the unusual aircraft projects that seemed to proliferate at the end of the Second World War. I will start a review shortly. simongraham (talk) 14:40, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Comments

• Overall, the standard is high, meeting the Manual of Style guidelines for lead, layout and word choice..
• It is of sufficient length, with 1,660 words of readable prose.
• The lead is short, but reasonable given the length of the article, at 149 words.
• 77.7% of authorship is by Sturmvogel 66, with contributions from 35 other editors.
• It is currently assessed as a C class article.
• I have made some minor grammar fixes. Please check them and adjust if necessary.
• I have also used the German for the name of the DLR.
• In the lead, "6" is used rather than "six". I feel that it flows better that way given the subsequent "21", but highlight it in case you wish to make the change.
  • The MoS says the same format should be used for like objects, so I used the numeral rather than spelling out 21.
    • Aesthetically, I feel that this is better so completely agree.
• The image is public domain and tagged appropriately.
• There are many volumes of Secret Projects of the Luftwaffe. Is it Volume 7 that is referred to here? There is mention of the aircraft in Volume 1 as well.
  • They're not formally numbered. I used the latest one, which doesn't use the same title format as the earlier volumes. I have Wings, Profiles, and Projects of the early ones; which one are you referring to?
    • Interesting. Jet Fighters 1939-1945 is labelled Volume 1 on Google books.[[1]] Is there any material difference between this and the version you are using?
      • That's an expansion of the 2015 bookazine in hardback. It has two pages of info on the BV 40 while the 2023 bookazine has about 30 and corrects a few things found in the earlier book.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 06:29, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
        • Thank you.
• Spot checks confirm Mrazek 2011 and Nowarra 1993. Suggest adding a translated title to the latter.
  • Good idea.

@Sturmvogel 66: Excellent work as usual. Please do take a look at my comments and ping me when you would like me to take another look. simongraham (talk) 14:46, 20 May 2024 (UTC) @Simongraham: Don't forget about the review for Basilisk.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:59, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

@Sturmvogel 66: Thank you. I had not realised you had completed that. Please tell me when you are done here. simongraham (talk) 02:31, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

@Simongraham: All done.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 06:29, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Excellent work. I believe that this article meets the criteria to be a Good Article.
