Looks good. A few comments though:

• Crop the picture and cut off the black edge, which looks like the edge of the film roll.

Well I thought about doing that myself a while ago but that image came from the Geramn Federal Archives and was added in by a bot. I cannot really mess with the image. Now I can always upload another one but I still have to credit the GFA and mention the originonal one and so on and so forth. If you really need this to happen for te article to pass, let me know and I'll see what I can do. If this is not a life or death situation, can we leave it as it is? There are two other images of the U-boat on commons if you want me to choose another one.--White Shadows ^{you're breaking up} 01:49, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Because the license is CC-BY-SA, you can adapt the image as necessary and reupload it. However, if other images exist, that works just as well. Whatever works for you.

I've fixed up the main image by replaceing it and moveing the other two images of U-37 ino the text of the article.--White Shadows ^{you're breaking up} 03:09, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

The replacement image could use cropping itself, what with the caption at the bottom.

I'd rather not. I've never seen any image from the GFA on this site that has the tag on the bottom croped off. If you really want me to then I guess I can but if not, can we leave it as is?--White Shadows ^{you're breaking up} 19:48, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Whatever works. If they're not frequently cropped, then let's refrain from doing so.

• All referenced or no references in the lede.

done.--White Shadows ^{you're breaking up} 02:54, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

I've added in more refs.--White Shadows ^{you're breaking up} 01:49, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Okay.

• Do AA guns come in different sizes/types? If you can, it might be nice to have the size of the AA rounds for the infobox.

I've found out the the AA guns for all Type IXA U-boats were the tiny 2cm guns. That should answer your question.--White Shadows ^{you're breaking up} 01:49, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

I'd hardly call the Flak 30s tiny, but okay.

• It might be nice for a bit of expansion in the separate patrols. Having only a few sentences in each of 12 different section seems to be a bit ridiculous, but if you can't expand them at all, I'd try and find a way to group them all together so they're not so broken up like they are now. If that's not possible, it's not really a big deal.

I've combined the last two patrols (10 and 11) into one section and expanded each one a bit.--White Shadows ^{you're breaking up} 01:49, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Okay.

• The second picture could stand to be a bit bigger, but if you do it make it bigger, you might need to find a different place for it. The short sections wouldn't compress to the infobox well.

I don't know where I would move it to. That image was taken the day that U-37 got back from her 4th patrol and it seems like it belongs there. I do admit that it needs to be bigger but I don't know how to fix that issue without moveing it.--White Shadows ^{you're breaking up} 01:49, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Make it a bit bigger, and we'll see what happens.

Done.--White Shadows ^{you're breaking up} 02:54, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

• Ref. #7 ("Eder, Bruce. Criterion DVD commentary") could definintly use a bit more information. Check WP:CIT for the applicable template.

I've removed the entire mention of the movie. You see out of all of teh reivews that I found, none of them mentioned U-37 as the actual U-boat that was sunk and the article itself never mentions U-37.--White Shadows ^{you're breaking up} 01:49, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Okay.

Fix those and you've got another GA. Reviewer: Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 19:21, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
