   Added. Parsecboy (talk) 10:44, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   C. No original research:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   Was the ship disarmed at all?

   It wasn't mentioned specifically in Conways 1906-1921 or Groner, but it was in Conway's 1860-1905. That's what I get for assuming the 1860 volume wouldn't have any further service-related info than the 1906 volume. Parsecboy (talk) 10:44, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

   B. Focused:

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

   No picture of Mecklenburg herself, I presume?

   Not that I've been able to track down. There's File:Mecklenburg.jpg on Commons, but it has no source. I could do fair use, but there'd probably be some nitpicker who'd argue it wouldn't satisfy FU-requirements because the purpose of illustrating the ship can be fulfilled by the photo of her sister. And I just don't want to add any potential hassle, you know? Parsecboy (talk) 10:44, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:
