GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:

Initial comments

[edit]
  • The lead summarises the article well, so no problems here
  • "Virginia then proceeded to Norfolk, where she coaled before continuing on to Tompkinsville, Staten Island" - I don't think it's linked to the correct Norfolk (I laughed when I read it)
    • Whoops! Guess I should have checked the link ;)
  • "During this period, she had two brief stints as a flagship" - being a flagship (even briefly) seems notable, I think this should be mentioned in the lead?
    • Added a line
  • "where she joined the 3rd Division, Battleship Force, Atlantic Fleet" - might read better as where she joined the 3rd Division, Battleship Force of the Atlantic Fleet?
    • Seems fine to me.
  • "In September, Virginia returned to the Norfolk Navy Yard" - September of which year? It confused me as it's the opening of a new paragraph

On hold

[edit]

Very minor points, I wasn't even sure whether or not to put this on hold! It should take minutes to address them, so once they're clarified this can become another GA. JAGUAR  16:22, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for addressing them! Looks good to go. JAGUAR  11:54, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
