Some citation and clarify tags need attention
Mostly done, the one that you placed in the note only seems citeable by a machine translation, and I don't think you put refs in notes. Buggie111 (talk) 14:20, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
She sank more ships than 14 of the top 20 U-boats of World War II.[2] is not supported by the reference
It requieres the user to look at the tonnage sunk by the WWII ships and compare to UB-50. I'll remove it.Buggie111 (talk) 01:30, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In the inf box 1 × 88 mm or 105 mm deck gun needs a cite as only the 88mm is cited in the article

Her engines enabled her to travel at 13.5 knots (25.0 km/h; 15.5 mph) when surfaced and 7.5 knots (13.9 km/h; 8.6 mph) when submerged.[1] is not supported by the reference

It sank after a torpedo stopped her, allowing her to sink with no casualties.[4] the ref does not say she was torpedoed just stopped and sunk so its could have been sunk by gunfire

In the second patrol section - Three days after that, the Margram Abbey, a 4,367 long tons (4,437 t) British steamer carrying, is there a missing word here carrying what ?

In the seventh patrol section is states On 9 November 1918, two days before the armistice and the surrender of the U-boat biut the lede claims she surrendered on 16 January 1919 so clarification required
Fixed. Buggie111 (talk) 01:29, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships, 1906-1921 needs added to a bibliography

Sorry one more just seen Burt also needs adding to the bibliograophy

I share previous stated concerns about only one source Uboat.net. but understand that its been passed as reliable. I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.--Jim Sweeney (talk) 01:18, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Crap! Double tasking! I'll get to the more simpler stuff right now (Tyne, etc) Buggie111 (talk) 01:22, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
