Ironclad warships of Germany

[edit]

This project has been somewhat long in the making. Most of the articles were written over the summer and were waiting on the main list to make its way through ACR/FLC, which have now been completed. With this topic completed, the only German capital ships left are the coastal defense ships and the bird farms. Parsecboy (talk) 20:10, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Alaska class cruisers

[edit]

This Good Topic is a joint effort by The ed17 and me. Ed took care of the class and Hawaii articles a few years ago, and I handled the Alaska and Guam articles within the last couple months. Plans are afoot to push Hawaii to FA sometime in the not too distant future, so this project may very well be bumped to to a Featured Topic. Note that there were three other ships of the class, none of which were laid down, so they accordingly do not have articles. Parsecboy (talk) 23:27, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - Regardless of whether it's heading for GT or FT status, this topic seems perfectly suitable to me. If it's promoted now surely it's not too difficult to upgrade its standing, isn't it? GRAPPLE X 02:00, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - nice work by all on these battlecruiser articles ;) - The Bushranger One ping only 08:07, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - This article is a sterling example of just about everything a Wiki entry is ideally supposed to be. Solicitr (talk) 16:52, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • On pl.wiki we have something what we call Olaf test. Open all ship text from Topic and compare data in infobox. In your situation you have problem with passing this test. Armament: U A: 305, U G: 305, U H: 300 mm, A class - no metric data. Second caliber: U A: 127 mm, U G: 127 mm, U H: 130 mm, 127 mm. And other values: U A: Standard: 29,779 long tons, UG: Standard: 29,779 long tons, U H: 29,779 tons, A class 29,771 tons. Yes, I know that only inches are important because its before US Navy move to metric system, but remember that couple people use metric as main system. And its a little more than me and my friends from pl.wiki :). So please fix infoboxes. PMG (talk) 00:47, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Graudenz class cruisers

[edit]

Another class of German light cruisers, part of this project. Both survived the war, something of a feat for German warships, and were passed on into French and Italian service. Parsecboy (talk) 13:45, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pillau class cruisers

[edit]

Another class of German light cruisers, part of this massive project (what, I have to have something to do now that this is done). Parsecboy (talk) 23:00, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Magdeburg class cruisers

[edit]

Another class of German light cruisers, the first two of which had pretty significant impacts on the course of World War I. Parsecboy (talk) 22:31, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating the articles associated with the 1982 Atlantic hurricane season for GTC because I believe they are of good quality, and still deserve at least GA status. In fact, I recently got Chris and Debby to GA, so a few of the articles comply with the latest GA standards. In addition, the other articles appear GA-worthy and would probably pass a GAR if done today.--12george1 (talk) 02:57, 2 January 2012 (UTC) --12george1 (talk) 02:57, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Karlsruhe class cruisers

[edit]

Another class of German warships, these were a pair of light cruisers built just before World War I. Both were lost during the war, with Karlsuhe destroyed by an accidental internal explosion and Rostock scuttled after being disabled in the Battle of Jutland.

Hiyo class aircraft carrier

[edit]

This good topic covers a small class of Japanese aircraft carriers that were converted from ocean liners during World War II.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:50, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Wiesbaden class cruisers

[edit]

Another class of German light cruisers, the first was sunk at the Battle of Jutland and the second was expended during Billy Mitchell's air power demonstration in July 1921 along with the former German battleship SMS Ostfriesland. This topic is a component of this long term project. Parsecboy (talk) 04:16, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
