I'll get to this once my ILL book arrives.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:28, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

It arrived, but doesn't cover the escort carriers, dammit!--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:44, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

That's frustrating. Parsecboy (talk) 00:21, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   1st paragraph of the lede needs to be rewritten to eliminate redundancies and improve flow. Think you forgot something here: Only 70 men from her crew of 1,200 officers and men. Don't use Spadefish in such close succession.

   Should all be addressed.

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

   Place of publication for Stille.

   Added.

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:

   I'd suggest merging the ocean liner article into this one. Link boiler, shake-down cruise, Home Islands, troop ship, Singapore, Saeki, oil tanker. Is there any kind of information about what kind of aircraft she operated?

   Links added, and no clue on types of aircraft carried - not in any of the sources available, either on Google Books or that I own.

   Look at the entry for 9 Nov 44 and following in the TROM on combined fleet.com--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 03:07, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

   Good catch - still leaves over half of the air group unaccounted for though. Parsecboy (talk) 18:19, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

   True, but ya gotta go with what ya got! I can guess at what the others were, but without any sources...--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:30, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

   B. Focused:

   Oil or coal fired? Any range or fuel capacity data available?

   Same as above - I'd assume oil-fired, but haven't seen that specified anywhere. Well, hold on a tick - her two sisters were slated to be converted into carriers by the Germans, so the entry in Groner should apply to this ship (though Gneisenau and Potsdam had different machinery types, so it won't apply completely).

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:
