Happy to feed you as much as you can handle.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:22, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

• in 1933 and spent most of her career in the Mediterranean, sometimes as a flagship Link Mediterranean.
  • As much as I like geographic links, that's one two far.
• rails to drop 40 Breguet B4 530-kilogram (1,170 lb) mines Try to avoid using two different numbers next to each other.
  • Good catch.
• were assigned to the 5th and the newly formed 6th Light Divisions Link for both Light Divisions?
  • Not enough info for articles.
• by the Navy Minister (Ministre de la Marine) François Piétri --> "by the Navy minister (Ministre de la Marine) François Piétri"
  • It needs to be capitalized because it's the title/rank of Piétri
• to the Tangier International Zone in Morocco to patrol the surveillance A little bit wordy here. Tangier was an international condominium and wasn't really part of Morocco it was in modern-day Morocco but not the time.
  • It was in the geographic Morocco, which is why I didn't link it. Reworded
• review held by the Navy Minister Alphonse Gasnier-Duparc in Brest --> "review held by the Navy minister Alphonse Gasnier-Duparc in Brest"
• Nazi Germany is overlinked.
• which included the 5th and 9th Scout Divisions with all of the Vauquelin-class ships No link of the units?
  • Nope.
• Force Z in anticipation of an Allied invasion of Norway Is there a link about the invasion?
  • Added
• No edit war.

Infobox

• The crew doesn't match with the body.
  • Good catch
• Propulsion isn't in the body.
  • Sure it is, I just combined the general description with the propulsion

Images

• File:Maillé Brézé NH 86537.jpg No link? I know it is from a book but can we get a link to view the original image?

Sources

• Some books have a Google Books' URL and others don't maybe standardise them? Even if there is a bot who does this job it is just odd to see this little issue.
  • I won't add links to Google Books as their URLs have been unstable in the past. I don't care if somebody or something else decides to add them.
• Sweeney hasn't a location? Also, the date is incorrect by World Cat? And there is also no publisher?
  • It's an article in the journal Warship International. The date in WorldCat covers the publication run, not the individual issue
• I thought that uboat.net wasn't a reliable source?
  • I won't cite it, but I still think that it's a decent resource.

That's anything from me. Sorry for the delay I was in the last couple of days down and had a couple of stress attacks I even had a little mental breakdown yesterday. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 11:01, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

I hope that none of your problems were from trying to keep up on Wiki! It's truly not worth stressing out over. Take your time with this stuff. I find my energy/interest levels fluctuate over time. Right now I'm not interested in doing all the hard work involved in upgrading my low-class battleship articles to GAs, but am up to taking my GAs to A-class and above. Your reviews have been crucial to speeding up our articles through ACR and FAC, but if you choose to slack off for a time, they'll still be there. Both Parsec and I have taken time off from OMT over the years as neither of us are concerned about any sort of deadline. We'll hit the magic 50% FAs whenever it happens.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:51, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

• @Sturmvogel 66: Not really, Wikipedia is like my second home. I like deadlines and my goal is to run the nominations just a little bit faster. It's not Wikipedia or one of its deadlines who caused me stress attacks and/or mental breakdowns it's more a real-life issue. However, Wikipedia can make it worse. How? Well if I'm a little down and I made a little mistake then it could create a worse scenario. I can be easily a pessimist one thing can destroy everything. An example I passed the practise exam to get my driving licence which is a big deal here because here it is one of the hardest exams in the whole world. I tried once and passed the same with my theory and less than 1/4 pass the theory same with practising the first time but in the last few years, the government made it harder and harder. I got lucky and it was the happiest day in my life (BTW I already have it my driving licence after two weeks waiting). I've talked with PB about this before. But days later I had a bad mood and got a stress attack. sometimes it can occur without a reason. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 19:58, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

• Hmm, I have rather the opposite problem, of not caring enough to do what I ought to be doing. Not gonna feed you any platitudes, but some things, certainly not all, often don't matter as much as we think that they do. 'Course, the difference is usually only apparent in hindsight, which isn't all that helpful, I know.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:18, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

• Where are we on this? CPA-5--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:39, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

• Here I guess. I do have some little comments first I did not get the ping from you. Second I was surprised that you linked the image link to Reddit how funny in my opinion. For the rest my comments are addressed so I think we might have new GA here. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 18:29, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
