I shall be reviewing this article against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status. AustralianRupert (talk) 22:14, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
Progression
[edit]- Version of the article when originally reviewed: [1]
- Version of the article when review was closed: [2]
Technical review
[edit]- a (Disambiguations): b (Linkrot) c (Alt text)
- no dabs found by the tools;
- ext links work;
- no images, so alt text not an issue.
Criteria
[edit]- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose): b (MoS):
- inconsistent punctuation: in the lead "a B-class destroyer built", but in the infobox "B class destroyer" (should the hyphen be used in the infobox also?);
- "The flotilla was reassigned to Home Fleet in September 1936". Should there be a "the" before "Home Fleet"?
- "detonated inside No. 3 boiler room" (should this be "detonated inside the No. 3 boiler room" (emphasis add to highlight suggested change only);
- Both done.
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- there is some inconsistency here: "The ship's complement was 134 officers and enlisted men, although it increased to 142 during wartime". But then infobox says: "Complement: 138"
- in the References the Lenton and Rohwer works don't appear to be specifically cited, should they be included in a Further reading section instead of References?
- Both done.
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- "The ship became the emergency destroyer at Devonport in March 1939". What does "emergency destroyer" entail?
- I'm kind of curious about that myself. My sources don't detail what that involves.
- No worries. AustralianRupert (talk) 06:11, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
- is there any information on ship's captains? Sometimes sources might provide a little snapshot of the commands, for instance the ship's first captain, or the officer in command when the ship was sunk. No dramas if the sources don't mention it;
- Nothing's available on the captains.
- No worries. AustralianRupert (talk) 06:11, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
- the ship's pennant number is mentioned in the infobox, but not in the prose, I wonder if it should/could be;
- I added a cite.
- as above, the ASDIC is mentioned in the infobox, but not in the prose. It could probably be worked in with just a small sentence.
- Added.
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- a (fair representation): b (all significant views):
- No issues.
- It is stable.
- No edit wars etc.:
- No issues.
- It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
- a (tagged and captioned): b (Is illustrated with appropriate images): c (non-free images have fair use rationales): d public domain pictures appropriately demonstrate why they are public domain:
- There are currently no images and while it is not necessarily a requirement, I wonder if there might be one available. I'm not sure of the copyright status of these, but I found a few here: [3];
- Added.
- Overall:
- a Pass/Fail:
- Overall, just a couple of minor things to cover off on before promotion. Please let me know if there is anything that you want to discuss. Cheers, AustralianRupert (talk) 23:02, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
