Reviewer: Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:35, 2 May 2010 (UTC) GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria[reply]

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:
    I combined the paragraphs in the lead and deleted the redundant information for you. Make sure that citations are in numerical order. See fate para for example. Specify what kind of warship Antelope was. Vary how you describe the size of each sunken ship.
    Working on that.--White Shadows you're breaking up 23:19, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Done.--White Shadows you're breaking up 01:28, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I cleaned up your prose some more as you tend to get very repetitive. A good copy edit is essential as I found "of off" at least twice. And if you put compound adjectives before the noun like 5000-ton ship need the hyphen.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:55, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    B. MoS compliance:
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:
    Citation #7 refers to a transfer, not her third war patrol, which was her fourth overall.
    Working on that.--White Shadows you're breaking up 23:19, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    2 Day patrols from one German port to another are generally not counted as war parols IMHO. Afterall, U-41's did not intend to sink any ships on that patrol, just to reach another port. Anyway, I did fix the citation and linked it to the proper patrol. If there is still an issue over the nameing of patrols, just let me know and I'll happily fix that.--White Shadows you're breaking up 23:23, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Done.--White Shadows you're breaking up 01:15, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
    C. No original research:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    B. Focused:
  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:
    There aren't any photos of U-41 available?
    Sadly, there are only about 5 existing photos of any Type IXA submarine. None of them are of U-41. Not that many photographs of U-boats were taken apparently. I can't find any photos of U-30 in Wikipedia. Even though she sank the first ship in WWII. If this is an issue. Just let me know and I'll try to find something but I cannot guarantee you that anytihng will come up.--White Shadows you're breaking up 23:19, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:

White space

[edit]

To reduce white space after the 'Raiding career' section on the left, the table needs to be raised a bit. This would have the added advantage of also reducing white space on the right of the page between the 'Service record' box and the References.
The trouble is, I don't know how to do this.
Any takers?RASAM (talk) 19:46, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
