GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

Parsecboy, I've finished my thorough and comprehensive review and re-review of this article, and I assess that it meets all the criteria for passage to Good Article status. Prior its passage, however, I have shared below some comments and questions that must first be addressed. Thanks again for all your hard work on this article, as always! -- Caponer (talk) 20:22, 25 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar):   b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):  
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):  
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):   b (focused):  
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:  
  6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales):   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:  

Lede

  • Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section, the lede of this article adequately defines the cruiser, establishes the cruiser's necessary context, and explains why the cruiser is notable.
  • The info box is beautifully formatted and its content is sourced within the prose of the text and by the referenced cited therein.
  • The lede is well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no other comments or questions for this section.

Design

  • Is there any information available about the namesake of Saida?
  • Helgoland is mentioned in the first and second paragraphs of the "Design" section, but I assume this should read Saida in both cases?
    • Yup - fixed.
  • This section is well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no other comments or questions for this section.

Service history

  • It should be mentioned here and possibly in the lede that the shipyard was located in Monfalcone.
    • Added to the service history section
  • The first mention of Austria-Hungary in the prose could stand to be wiki-linked here.
    • Done
  • Helgoland is first introduced in this paragraph, which further leads me to believe that Helgoland is erroneously mentioned in the "Design" section.
  • In the second paragraph, Austro-Hungarian Navy is mentioned for the first time in the prose can be wiki-linked here.
    • Done.
  • The Otranto Straits should be mentioned and wiki-linked in the first paragraph of the battle subsection.
    • Switched the link from Otranto to the straits article, since the town wasn't the target anyway.
  • The map showing the location of the Straits of Otranto at the southern end of the Adriatic is licensed CC BY-SA 3.0 and is therefore free for use here.
  • The image of the British drifters sailing from their base in the Adriatic to the Barrage is released into the Public Domain is therefore free for use here.
  • In the Italian service subsection, there is mention that Saida and her sisters were the largest vessels of the former Austro-Hungarian Navy to see active service in the navies of their former enemies. This is definitely notable enough for inclusion in the lede to better represent this subsection there.
    • A good idea
  • This section is otherwise well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no other comments or questions for this section.
