Reviewer: Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:49, 21 April 2011 (UTC) GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   Fix the awkward tags that I've added.

   Do my changes fix the problems? As for the one "why" tag, that is actually a big question. Scheer said he thought the first time the fleets came together went well and wanted to make a second attack, to inflict further damage and to keep Jellicoe guessing. Many think he was covering his arse for making a terrible decision and simply didn't know where Jellicoe was. Parsecboy (talk) 18:49, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

   B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:

   Sometimes state is missing or spelled out in the publisher locations. Please standardize.

   Fixed. Parsecboy (talk) 18:49, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   C. No original research:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   Explain a division is half a squadron.

   B. Focused:

   Add the {{lang-de|}} template to German terminology. You use English language terminology except for Admiralstab.

   Is that really necessary? I've seen it argued by several people at various FACs/ACRs (I know Ed dealt with this on one of his South American BBs) that the lang template was superfluous (i.e., anyone reading an article about a topic from country "y" can be reasonably trusted to assume the translation is from the language of country "y").

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:
