I'll do this review. --Starstriker7 - public^(talk) 07:09, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Criterion 1

Lead

• On previous articles, you also gave the German name of the ship (which included the ß in place of the ss).
  • Added the standard note. Parsecboy (talk) 13:48, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Construction

• "before her ister" - Yep. :P
• "newly established Imperial dockyard" - Should dockyard be capitalized?
• Why does the fact that the Friedrich der Grosse was built at the Imperial Dockyard (?) mean that its construction went more slowly? Was it because the builders at the Imperial Dockyard were less experienced?
• "all submerged in the ship's hull" - Is submerged the right word to use here?
  • Should all be fixed. Parsecboy (talk) 13:48, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Service history

• "Her newly commissioned sistership" - sister ship?
• "the squadron was again reformed" --> the squadron was reestablished?
• "They met the Russian Tsar Alexander III" - Does they refer to the squadron?
• I know it is a redlink by previous discussions, but could you wikilink "II Division"?
• Is it possible to wikilink "harbor ship"?
• The last three sentences start with the word "she". Can you introduce some variation by changing the middle one to Friedrich der Grosse?
  • Should all be fine as well. Parsecboy (talk) 13:48, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Criterion 2

I accept the offline book refs in good faith. All information appears cited using inline citations, and a separate ref section is established.

Criterion 3

The article has no obvious gaps. It is sufficiently broad and well-focused with regards to GAs of the same subject.

Criterion 4

The article gives no undue weight to a particular faction.

Criterion 5

It looks like an IP was trolling you, but that was like four years ago. Since then, the article has been stable.

• Yeah, he was upset that he was indefinitely blocked for flying off the handle at several people, including me, who he apparently blamed for his expulsion. He actually kept harassing me for a couple of years, which was fun. Parsecboy (talk) 13:48, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

• Geez. Well, I'm glad he stopped, and I commend you for enduring it. I know how hard it can be to compose oneself in the face of angry people like him. --Starstriker7 - public^(talk) 06:24, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Criterion 6

Both images in the article do check out in terms of copyright information.

Overall comments

As always, nice work. :) Just wrap up the few comments I had on prose/wikilinking, and this one will be all set for GA. --Starstriker7 - public^(talk) 07:27, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Guess I missed this one yesterday :) Should all be good now. Parsecboy (talk) 13:48, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Yep. I'll pass it in a sec. :) --Starstriker7 - public^(talk) 06:24, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
