Another one of my German battleship FACs, this article was significantly rewritten over the past couple of months. It passed GA in May and WP:MILHIST A-class review a few days ago. I think the article is at or close to FA standards; any comments that help me get all the way there are appreciated. I've added alt text to the images, though I'm still a little unsure of how that's supposed to be done, so if it needs work, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

'Tis good, as far as Cr. 1a goes.

  • WP:LINK advises against the linking of common geographical locations (like Germany). Any reason to here? It's a very big article. I see that "German Imperial Navy" is linked a second later ...
  • "Kaiser" is italicised at the opening, but not in the title. Is this correct?
  • Minus sign for -8. It's in the edit tools under the edit window ("Insert" tab), before the multiplication sign.
  • I think MOSNUM says to spell out 160 here: "160 99.9 lb shells".
  • Avoid multihyphen bracket monster by inverting the order: "the ships had a 4 cm (1.6 in)-thick torpedo bulkhead" -> "the ships had a torpedo bulkhead 4 cm (1.6 in) thick".
  • "yards"—do we provide metric equivalents for this situation?
  • "caliber" is US spelling; I'd have thought this had enough reference to the UK to be otherwise, but maybe I'm wrong. Tony (talk) 12:36, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
