Well-written:

(a) the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct; and

(b) it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation. Looking good in terms of MOS. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 08:08, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Verifiable with no original research:

Well-cited, and references all noted duly. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 07:36, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

(a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;

(b) reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose); and

(c) it contains no original research.

Broad in its coverage:

As far as I can tell, it covers all coverable aspects of the subject. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 07:36, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

(a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic; and

(b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).

Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.

Article displays good neutrality on its subject. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 07:36, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.

No sign of edit warring/disputes in the history link. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 07:13, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:

No images at present, but while it is preferred, it isn't mandatory. At least this way we know for sure that all current image use in the article follows copyright law! ;) Wilhelmina Will (talk) 07:11, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

(a) media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content; and

Comments:

• "[Pillau] assisted the badly damaged battlecruiser SMS Seydlitz reach port on 2 June" I understand this means that the ship helped the other ship to reach port, but when "assisted" is the synonym of "help" used, isn't it better grammar to say "in reaching port"? I am not 100% certain of this, so please ignore this if it is alright. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 07:36, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
  • I think the current version is better. Think of it this way: "Steve helped Joe study for..." instead of "Steve helped Joe in studying for..." Parsecboy (talk) 16:16, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
    • Alright then. That's about the only thing that caught me in this review. This is a very well-written page, and will finally get the classification it deserves! Wilhelmina Will (talk) 21:32, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
