FAM request follow up

Hi! This is just to follow up on my April FAM request. Croatian Spring article passed through GAR, and I intend to nominate it for FAC as discussed. Could you please provide pointers where necessary/possible in the process - time permitting of course? I'll be sure to ask whenever I might have a specific question. Thanks!--Tomobe03 (talk) 17:35, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

yugoslav monitor drava

hello, Peacemaker67! i had a quick question regarding this article. i noticed that the lead states that the royal yugoslav navy began operating drava in 1921, while the article body and infobox apparently both state that the navy acquired drava in 1920. was there a period during which the ship was considered acquired but not operated by the navy?

i couldn't find "1921" used elsewhere in the article (aside from in the title of a source), so i didn't know where to look for an appropriate source. however, i did find this source, which states that "Yugoslavia finally received her much-reduced allocation of ships in March 1921" while also stating that the monitors were "[f]ormerly handed over to the Yugoslavs by the NACDEV on 15 November 1920". dying (talk) 11:25, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

G'day dying, I have a recently published book which describes the formation of the navy and handing over of the various ships. I'll check and update. Thanks for querying it. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:54, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for Yugoslav monitor Drava, "about a heavily armoured river monitor that saw extensive service with the Austro-Hungarian Danube Flotilla during World War I and then briefly saw action with the Yugoslav Danube Flotilla during the April 1941 Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in World War II. It is the last of four articles about Yugoslav river monitors to come to FAC. During the invasion she was persistently attacked by Stuka divebombers who scored several ineffective hits on her until one bomb went down her funnel into her engine room, killing most of her crew and sinking her."! - sharing the page with Max Creutz, DYK? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:24, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Milorad Ekmečić

I saw your FAC withdrawal comment at this article about a bio in Serbo-Croatian. I am wondering whether you have already researched the reliability of the book, cause if you haven't I have a few comments about it which you might find helpful.
