Here are the issues I found:

My main concern is the naming. You note that it was renamed Volia, and use that name most of the article, yet the article is titled Imperator Aleksander. When was that name used? It's almost nonexistent in the article, ironically. Unless General Alekseyev and Imperator Aleksander are the same I'm very confused.
- Look at the infobox. She was built as Imperator Aleksandr, hence the title, and renamed before completion so she never did anything under her original name. It's also explained a bit in the first para of the lede. I've reworked it to better reflect the name she had at the time described.
"but not arrived" tense doesn't feel right; maybe 'did not arrive' or 'had not arrived'
- Wow, that was ugly. Fixed.
Nitpicky, but I'm not a fan of consecutive paragraphs starting with 'On (date)...'.
- Agreed, fixed.
Scuttle links to a disambiguation page right now, should (i presume) go to scuttling.
- Fixed
"while four were seized by Germany when it invaded Norway in April 1940 and captured them on board the Nina in Narvik harbor." Is nina a notable ship? The lack of a bluelink threw me off, so maybe it's not. Not a necessary issue for the GA rev, just curious.
- This incident probably makes her notable, but I don't know anything else about her.

I'll put the article on hold for a few days and pass it when the issues are fixed. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 04:08, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good now, so the article passes. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 13:31, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
