Progression

Technical review

edit
  • Citations: The Citation Check tool reveals a couple of minor issues with reference consolidation:
  • Disambiguations: no dab links [3] (no action req'd).
  • Linkrot: no dead links [4] (no action req'd)
  • Alt text: images lack alt text so you might consider adding it [5] (suggestion only - not a GA criteria).
  • Copyright violations: The Earwig Tool reveals no issues with copyright violations or close paraphrasing [6] (no action req'd).
  • Duplicate links: no (unnecessary) duplicate links to be removed (no action req'd).

Criteria

edit
  • It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose):   b (MoS):  
    • "...The Havants spend most of the war..." → "...The Havants spent most of the war..."
    • "...participated in the Battle of Cape Matapan in March 1941 and covering the..." → "...participated in the Battle of Cape Matapan in March 1941 and covered the..."
    • "...the G class achieved this with a..." should it be "G-class" here for consistency?
      • Hyphens are only needed for compound adjectives like G-class destroyer where G and class together form an adjective that needs a hyphen. In "G class", the G modifies class and no hyphen is needed since there's no compound adjective at all.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:51, 3 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
    • "... and the J-, K- and N classes..." should it be "N-classes" (it seem inconsistent not hyphenating here that's all).
    • "...As per the E and F class..." are hyphens needed here?
    • "...They are usually included with the H class..." Hypthen?
    • "... Vasilissa Olga, named after Queen Olga, she served..." → "... Vasilissa Olga, named after Queen Olga, served..." (delete "she" I think)
    • "...Along with other ships, escaped to Alexandria in May 1941..." → "...Along with other ships, she escaped to Alexandria in May 1941..." (add "she" here though)
    • "...Grenville and the G class..." hypthen?
    • "...spent the bulk of their time before the start of World War II in August 1939..." This seems a little awkwardly worded including "in August 1939", I wonder if it is almost not needed?
      • I agree.
    • "...They sank two German destroyers in exchange for the loss of Hardy and Hunter while Hotspur was badly damaged..." add a comma between "Hunter" and "while" I think.
    • "2nd Battle of Narvik..." seems inconsistently presented (consider you use "First Battle of Narvik" so I suggest "Second Battle of Narvik" here)
    • "...in September against the Vichy French forces there..." It might pay to wikilink "Vichy French" here as some of our readers might not understand the concept.
    • "...Griffin and Hotspur was..." → "...Griffin and Hotspur were..."
    • The "External links" section is empty (other than the commons cat box). Per WP:LAYOUT "Do not make a section whose sole content is box-type templates". As such the commons box should be moved to the top of the "References" section and the "External links" heading deleted unless links are added.
  • It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):  
    • The article looks well referenced to WP:RS.
    • No issues with OR I could see.
  • It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):   b (focused):  
    • Most major aspects seem to be covered. A couple of minor points:
      • "The G class were ordered as part of the 1933 Naval Construction Programme..." ordered by whom is probably needed here for context. (Royal Navy would probably be sufficient I presume). Consider something like: "The G class were ordered for the Royal Navy as part of the 1933 Naval Construction Programme..." or something like that.
      • "Two ships, modified versions of the G class, were built for the Greek Royal Hellenic Navy (RHN) by Yarrow." Adding the dates of their construction might add context here.
        • Good idea.
    • Article uses summary style effectively and doesn't seem to go into unnecessary detail.
  • It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    a (fair representation):   b (all significant views):  
    • All major viewpoints seem to be covered.
  • It is stable.
    No edit wars etc.:  
    • No issues here.
  • It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
    a (tagged and captioned):   b (Is illustrated with appropriate images):   c (non-free images have fair use rationales):   d public domain pictures appropriately demonstrate why they are public domain:  
    • Images are either PD and have the appropriate information or are fair use and appear to have a valid rationale.
    • Captions look fine.
