Hi! I'll take this article for review, and should have my full comments up by later tonight. Dana boomer (talk) 23:22, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

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

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   • I'm sure you've checked the IP addition from April 5 to make sure everything is solid there?

   • Yeah, it's the standard note explaining SMS and the translation of the ship's name.

   • Lead, "but was thereafter used as a target ship until 1918. She was thereafter sold" - close repetition of "thereafter".

   • Changed the second one to "later"

   • Second deployment abroad, "presence was unnecessary there." I think the "there" is unnecessary.

   • Sounds fine to me.

   • Second deployment abroad, "German East Africa to replace Bussard there." Again, the "there" doesn't seem to be adding anything.

   • Removed.

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:

   Overall very solid, just a few minor comments on prose. Placing the article on hold until these can be addressed. Dana boomer (talk) 23:47, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

   Thanks yet again, I think everything should be corrected. Parsecboy (talk) 12:10, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

   And again everything looks good, so passing to GA. Dana boomer (talk) 16:21, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
