I'll start this one soon.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:07, 1 December 2011 (UTC) GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria[reply]

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:
    B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
    C. No original research:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    What do you mean by raked hull? What's a spotting top? I usually link to fighting top.
    The hull was more raked - linked to wikt:raked. I don't like the fighting top link, as it's about sailing ships. I don't think anyone expected cruisers and battleships to get close enough to where small arms would be effective weapons, and there weren't larger weapons mounted in them.
    B. Focused:
    Link weather helm.
    Linked.
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:

Actually 37 and 47 mm cannon were mounted in fighting tops in the late 1800s as anti-torpedo boat guns, but that was no longer the case when these ships were built. But readers still need to know what one is. Perhaps a short entry in the glossary of nautical terms giving a simple definition.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:43, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Right, I was talking just about these ships. Added an entry on spotting top. Parsecboy (talk) 14:51, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
