I'll take this one. Parsecboy (talk) 20:03, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mostly minor nitpicks:

Image copyright tags look good
Is there a map that could be used?
- I've just added a map of northern Norway and Sweden which shows the main locations mentioned Nick-D (talk) 10:03, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There are a couple of dupe links that need to be fixed
- Sorry, which ones? I've fixed linking Royal Navy twice. Nick-D (talk) 10:03, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - That was one of them - the other one is the Mosquito. By the way, User:Evad37/duplinks-alt is a useful tool to add. Parsecboy (talk) 13:08, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    - Fixed, and I've added that code. Nick-D (talk) 09:50, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      - All right, everything looks to be in order - I'm happy to promote. Parsecboy (talk) 12:26, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'd recommend translating the German ranks
- I've swapped 'Großadmiral' to 'Grand Admiral' as the translation is direct. There doesn't seem to be a clear equivalent for 'Konteradmiral' in this era. Nick-D (talk) 10:03, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'd probably just translate it to Rear admiral. In those days, Konteradmiral was the equivalent of a 1-star (the USN's Rear admiral (lower half), for instance), but I don't know that that level of specificity is all that necessary here. Parsecboy (talk) 13:08, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'd link battleship, aircraft carrier, engine room, Flare (countermeasure), destroyer, flak ship
- All linked Nick-D (talk) 10:03, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"be simpler conduct" -> "simpler to conduct"
- Fixed Nick-D (talk) 10:03, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work as usual. Parsecboy (talk) 21:27, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for reviewing Nick-D (talk) 10:03, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
