GA Review

Well-written

• For all numbers listed, whether it be in weight, in distance or in caliber, please use {{Convert}}. There are several places that list items both in English and metric, but others are listed in English units only.
  • I have added some convert templates. ~NerdyScienceDude (✉ • ✐) 21:25, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
    • All numbers listed should have weight in {{Convert}}, not some of them. Explain why this was not done? Chris (talk) 18:13, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
• Construction section.
  • How can the sub having a cruising range of 9,000 miles yet it only lists 8,500 miles in the Infobox? Which one is correct?

• This should be fixed now. ~NerdyScienceDude (✉ • ✐) 21:25, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

• For all patrols, list the durations of the patrols, including who was commanding office of the ship during that specific duration?
  • That's a problem. You see there are no records that we know of in existence that show how long SM UB-50 was at sea for any of her patrols. Same goes for the commanding officer though it is possible that her captain never changed.--White Shadows ^{stood on the edge} 21:34, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
    • The commanding officers are listed one of the references. For the patrols, a listing of when each ship was sunk should be sufficient for this. Chris (talk) 21:54, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
• Some questions need to be answered: 1) Were there any casualties aboard the submarine during any of the patrols? 2) What happened to the boat after the war? 3) Who ordered the boat to be broken up? 4) When was it broken up in Swansea?
  • These questions have not been answered. Please do so. Chris (talk) 18:13, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
• Prose, manual of style, spelling, and grammar are fine.

Factually accurate and verifable

• Sources are accurate. Some issues though.
• Reference #3 - Remove extra uboat.net after Helgason.
  • Removed.--White Shadows ^{stood on the edge} 19:13, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
• Author needed for References 16, 41, and 46.
  • Done.--White Shadows ^{stood on the edge} 19:10, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
• For Reference #48, This may need to be split up into two references because there is no other references with a Mr. Burt, and that Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships, 1906-1921 should be separate.

Broad

• Good job addressing ship's construction and activity during WWI, but misses aftermath of ship after the war. These questions were raised in the well-written section.

Neutral

• Lists what the ship did during WWI, but does not list ship's aftermath except in the infobox. More information needed please.

Stable

• No issues. Last edit prior to this review was on June 5, 2010.

Illustrated

• No issues. All three images shown (including German flag) are valid.

Result

• Hold. Lot of work, but can be done for GA.

After reviewing the adjustments made to this article, this has been failed to not providing all of the information reuqested, mainly in converting all tonnage to include both English and metric. Also, no information was given regarding when the ship was sent to the UK for scrapping. Chris (talk) 15:10, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
