• To do tonight. Courcelles (talk) 20:49, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
  • Thanks for taking these on, Courcelles! Parsecboy (talk) 23:08, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

• Infobox says " Sold for scrap, 27 May 1907", while both times in the prose, October is mentioned.
  • Fixed
• Lead: "Stein was laid down in November 1875, launched in October 1876" Infobox: "Laid down: 1876 Launched: 8 October 1877 Completed: March 1878"
  • Fixed
• Same issue of different drafts in prose and infoboxes as the other ship.
  • Fixed
• Prose and infobox displacement differ by about 100 tons
  • Fixed
• Same issue with different ranges in prose and infobox, too.
  • Fixed - you'd think with one of these, I'd remember to check the infobox first
• "She also carried six 37 mm (1.5 in) Hotchkiss revolver cannon." Strikes me that "cannon" should be plural here?
  • You can pluralize cannon both ways
• Is the link to Corvette (4) meant to be useful in "She was the third member of the Bismarck-class corvette"?
  • Nope, one too many pipes in the template
• " and reached Batavia in the Dutch East Indies " Batavia is a dab link
  • Good catch
• "France over Tonkin and Annam that led to" Annam is as well.
  • Fixed
• "East Asia squadron" Should Squadron be in caps too?
  • Yes
• "The ships left for an overseas training squadron shortly thereafter" Should squadron here read "cruise" instead?
  • Sometimes, you have to wonder what you were thinking when you type something like that...
• "While Stosch was in Smyrna, Hollmann and his staff made an official visit to Sultan Abdul Hamid II." Should likely mention what he was Sultan of?
  • Good idea.

Sorry for so many nitpicks on this one. Courcelles (talk) 00:11, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Not at all - these are mostly things I should have fixed before I nominated the article ;) Thanks again! Parsecboy (talk) 12:26, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Happy to promote these both now. Courcelles (talk) 14:24, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
