GA review (see here for criteria) (see here for this contributor's history of GA reviews)

It is reasonably well written:
Pass External links, dup links and dab links look good. Copyvio detector returns green.
It is factually accurate and verifiable:
Not Yet
- There's a relative reliance on Uboat.net which leads to an under-detailing of some parts. Some additional sourced I've found to add:
[1] adds more detail to war patrols;
Only two pages mention Sahib during her war period, one of which is probably and error: on 1 July 1943, Sahib was already sunk and thus could not land commands in Sardinia. L293D (☎ • ✎) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
[2] notes the crew was commended for sinking U-301
Added what I could, but the book only says that Lieutenant Fraser was commended, not the whole crew. L293D (☎ • ✎) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This book has more details on the sinking per above comment: [3]
Added. L293D (☎ • ✎) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It is broad in its coverage:
Not Yet
- The infobox data on ship speed is inconsistent with the speed data in the prose.
Fixed. L293D (☎ • ✎) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Prose also mentions mines, if they could be added to armament in the infobox.
As said in a previous review, the expendable armament such as the number of torpedoes, mines, shells, and machine gun rounds is generally not mentioned in the infobox. L293D (☎ • ✎) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Her namesake should be mentioned.
Added, I think Merriam-webster.com is a RS. L293D (☎ • ✎) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- The "Malta" section needs to be expanded with the aftermath of the sinking of the Scillin and its aftermath, as it's an incident that will likely drive a lot of non-Naval historian traffic to the article. That page has some details for a start, but talk about the inquiry of the captain and the subsequent secrecy of the event.
Sure, but the content on SS Scillin is sourced to a BBC blog and this, which I consider unreliable. A google books search was not turned up anything else than a book about retirement, which mentioned Scillin. L293D (☎ • ✎) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good, I think you've got what we can get on that part for now. Would be glad to see it expanded some day but the sources have to be there, and I think this is plenty for GA. —Ed!^(talk) 00:39, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- "Algiers" section: Since Finale, Italy doesn't have a link, is there somewhere close to it that can be linked?
Linked. L293D (☎ • ✎) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Any other commanders than the one listed when the ship was launched?
Nope. L293D (☎ • ✎) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Last patrol: What was the effect of the depth charges? What on the ship was damaged to cause it to be forced to surface?
Added. L293D (☎ • ✎) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- How many of the crew returned home after the war?
Partially added. L293D (☎ • ✎) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Where's the wreck? Has it been located?
Probably not, though I have no source saying that the wreck was not found. L293D (☎ • ✎) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It follows the neutral point of view policy:
Pass No problems there, though per above more diversity of referencing needed.
It is stable:
Pass No problems there.
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate:
Pass Images tagged PD as appropriate.
Other:
On Hold Pending a few fixes. —Ed!^(talk) 14:38, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Ed!: done most points, what do you think now? L293D (☎ • ✎) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OK, so all of the additions are bringing it in line with the GA criteria, I'm thinking. Going to Pass at this point. Thanks for your responsiveness! —Ed!^(talk) 00:39, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
