I made some minor tweaks to the article, all per WP:MOS, but everything else looks good. Passing. Gary King (talk) 22:11, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yay! I might nominate Zrinyi in the coming days for a GT. Buggie111 (talk) 22:23, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

copy editor's comments

I smoothed out the text somewhat, varied the sentence structures, used some "different" verbs. Please check to make sure the meaning hasn't been changed. I also added a sentence into the lead re the seaplanes. That's important. Auntieruth55 (talk) 22:29, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, very good stuff. - Dank (push to talk) 00:36, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome, Dank. Let me know if you need something more on this. Auntieruth55 (talk) 14:38, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

"Along with her sister ships Zrinyi and Radetzky " -- necessary? The sister ships ought to be mentioned in the construction section.
- Fixed, that was DYK filler before I knew that there had to be a characteristics section. Buggie111 (talk) 23:36, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"Breakout" is used twice in quick succession.
- Fixed.--White Shadows ^{Your guess is as good as mine} 21:30, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
More details of the bombardment would be helpful.
- Added as much as I cold, Sokol might have some more. Buggie111 (talk) 23:36, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Chronological -- she was sailed to Italy for a March 1919 parade, but the actual treaty was signed in September.
- Done.--White Shadows ^{Your guess is as good as mine} 21:30, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ref 18 needs to be formatted properly – if you're using templates, {{DANFS}} is good. Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 21:21, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Done. Buggie111 (talk) 23:36, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Other possible picture source

I noted from the recent Today's featured article/requests page that there's no photo of the actual ship to go with the article. I did manage to find a couple of images online from http://www.gwpda.org which purport to be of the ship. Specifically: [1] and [2]. In the site's image policy[3] they note that many of their images are out of copyright, as undoubtedly these would be. I mention this in case you want to get in contact with their site admin, as it makes sense to be courteous and ask about whether these images could be posted to Wikimedia Commons freely.

Just trying to help! Cheers! Captmondo (talk) 17:03, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I'll get to that. Buggie111 (talk) 21:28, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reason that File:Erz ff colorcard.jpg is not visible? Srnec (talk) 04:01, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are questions over its copyright status - see Jappalang's comments at the second FAC. Parsecboy (talk) 12:20, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was gonna get the more detailed link to the pic, but forgot. Buggie111 (talk) 14:08, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
