I imagine this would be a necessary source to consult before the article meets GA criteria. Parsecboy (talk) 15:50, 7 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Parsecboy: Is there an English version available? I have not been able to find one online. -- Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 02:58, 8 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
No, but I happen to have access to the book. I've been planning on doing the translating necessary for the rest of these now that I'm done with Bilzer. It's a fairly laborious project (the book is fairly lengthy, and my German isn't so good that I can simply read it), so I can't promise anything immediately. The older articles I've done in this topic (the armored cruisers, mostly) will probably have to be redone at some point too, but those will probably have legs for FA once we get there.

Incidentally, if you're looking for a project that would be fairly easy to whip together, at least in terms of sources, there are tons of list articles that need to be done, and I have several projects where all of the individual articles are completed, so you could just put the lists together and pull the references from the individual articles. Most of these fit that description, and there's also this I started working on but haven't gotten around to finishing. If you want to work on any of those, be my guest, though a bit of fair warning: lists are a lot of work to get done (which is the reason I keep putting off doing them, even though some of these projects have been done for 2-3 years now).

I think we're about ready here. Parsecboy (talk) 20:49, 9 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

  • Is there a link for landing gun?
No; it is a semi-common term among wikipedia pages for guns, but has no page of itself that I can find, nor a wiktionary page; I have redlinked it for now. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 13:58, 27 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • torpedo tubes in deck-mounted launchers located amidships Awkward

  Done

  • Watch your rounding in the conversion templates.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 03:02, 27 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
    • Especially 45 cm (18 in)
      • Ah, yeah, I missed this one. Thanks Sturm. Parsecboy (talk) 15:40, 27 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
        • This article had an atypically large number of conversions and I had to hunt (again!) for the one that I meant so we could put this puppy to bed. The secret for metric to inches is to see which of the latter have only two digits without a decimal point. Not infallible, but a pretty good rule of thumb. Fix the sentence about the torpedo tubes and we'll be done.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:49, 27 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
          • Did you mean 533mm (21.0in) -> 533mm (21in)? If so, that's fixed. Parsecboy (talk) 16:17, 27 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
            • Nah, that's just a quirk of mine and not something that I enforce on anybody else. 45 cm ≠ 18 in is more what I worry about for other peoples' articles.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:29, 27 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
