I shall be reviewing this article against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status. AustralianRupert (talk) 11:05, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Progression[edit]

  • Version of the article when originally reviewed: [1]
  • Version of the article when review was closed: [2]

Technical review[edit]

  • two dabs found by the tools: [3]
  • ext links work;
  • image lacks alt text (not required; suggestion only) [4];
  • spot check searching online showed no copyright violations.

Criteria[edit]

  • It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
  • in the lead, "heavy cruiser" is probably overlinked;
  • in the body, "Skagerrak" is probably overlinked;
  • slight redundancy, I think: "The following month, she escorted the pocket battleship Lützow from Kiel to Norway in mid-June" (specifically "The following month" and "in mid-June");
  • It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  • No issues.
  • It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  • in the body "4,400 nautical miles (8,100 km; 5,100 mi) at 19 knots", but in the infobox: "1,825 nmi (3,380 km; 2,100 mi) at 19 knots";
  • Look again, intended range was 4400 nmi, but actual was 1825.
  • I see. Sorry, I'm still confused, though. Further on the prose says "The effective range proved to be only 1,530 nmi (2,830 km; 1,760 mi) at 19 knots". AustralianRupert (talk) 14:02, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "She was rammed by a Norwegian freighter in Tromsø on 12 October". Do we know if this was an accident, or deliberate?
  • Clarified.
  • No issues.
  • It is stable.
    No edit wars etc.:
  • No issues.
  • It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
    a (tagged and captioned): b (Is illustrated with appropriate images): c (non-free images have fair use rationales): d public domain pictures appropriately demonstrate why they are public domain:
  • The current image used in the article is of the ship's sister. That is no drama as it serves a purpose, but obviously not ideal. I wonder if it would be possible to replace it with one of the actual ship itself. I found some in this search (some excellent ones, including a depiction of the ship's final moments - copyrighted though). I'm not sure if any of them can be used, but please take a look and let me know. [5]
  • I've replaced the fair use image with a painting that was on Commons. I'm sorry I didn't find this before (in fact I found it by accident when I clicked on the Battle of the Barents Sea article). I've removed the fair use one because I figure that it is not really possible to make a legit fair use claim if there is one with an OTRS ticket. Please let me know what you think.

  • Overall:
    a Pass/Fail:

Sorry for budding in, according to HRS volume 3 page 153 the coordinates are 77°19' north 30°47' east. MisterBee1966 (talk) 08:59, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
