SMS Prinz Adalbert (1901)

Featured article candidates/SMS Prinz Adalbert (1901)/archive1

Another ship with a WWI-related centenary approaching, this being the ship's sinking in October 1915, the greatest naval disaster of the war for German forces in the Baltic. This passed GAN all the way back in early 2011, but I have since expanded it significantly, and I'd like to have it main-page ready for the centenary. Thanks for reviewing the article.

Support: Good work, Parsecboy, I believe that this article meets the A-class criteria. I made a couple of tweaks (please check you are happy with these) and have the following observations:
- this seems inconsistent: "maximum speed of 20.4 kn (37.8 km/h; 23.5 mph)" (in the body) v "20.4 knots (38 km/h)" (in the infobox) - 37.8 km/h as opposed to 38 kh/h.
  - Good catch, fixed.
- "File:SMS Prinz Adalbert linedrawing.png": the description page lacks author information. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 03:42, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - The illustration has a last name on it - no clue who Winchell is, but I've added that to the description page. Probably the best we can do without tracking down a copy of the edition of Proceedings (the one in Google Books is not viewable, unfortunately). Parsecboy (talk) 12:02, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - Cheers, good solution. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 06:27, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

in lead: suggest Baltic during the war.
- Sounds fine to me
in body, speed is converted into kph and mph, but only into kph in infobox
- Fixed
in body, the armor thickness is in m and ft, not mm and in
- Whoops!
errant space after Heinrich (second mention)
- Good catch.
what was the relationship between Prince Adalbert who the ship was named after, and the young man? It begs the question given the ship name.
- They'd have been...1st cousins, thrice removed, I think?
suggest the work was eventually completed
- Sounds fine.
I'm not sure about the use of Kzs when other ranks are not abbreviated
- A good point
suggest adding the word "another" for the sweep of 22 January 1915
- Works for me
suggest dropping "however" in Libau paragraph
- Ok
suggest replacing for the duration of the war with "during the war"
- Sounds good.
pics don't have alt text (not an ACR requirement)
no dablinks
no external links
no overlinking
Earwig indicates a close match for part of the final para of this article which appears to have been cut and pasted as the description of youtube (2011) and diveo (2014) wreck dive videos (which are worth a watch if you are into that kind of thing).

Looking very good. Comprehensive coverage and wide use of reliable sources. Regards, Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 11:50, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Thanks - I might have to check those out. Parsecboy (talk) 17:02, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- What is a "KzS"? I couldn't see the abbreviation explained anywhere but might have missed it.
  - Kapitän zur See. - Dank (push to talk) 01:39, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - Removed, per PM's comment above. Parsecboy (talk) 17:02, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Otherwise I couldn't see any glaring issues after a complete read through. Anotherclown (talk) 08:45, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Parsecboy: Can you do something about the absence of alt text in the images? Its something I like to see more filled in that not before passing an ACR. TomStar81 (Talk) 11:25, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
