I'll take on this review. --Starstriker7^(Talk) 07:01, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Criterion 1

• The design and description section says that the Pallada was named for an earlier Russian cruiser. Should that be noted in the inbox?
  • Both ships were named for Pallas Athena. This Pallada perpetuated the name, honoring the older ship.
• You never explicitly mention the the Pallada took part in World War I outside of the lead. It would probably best fit right before the second paragraph of the Service section.
  • Good idea.
• I don't see why the Magdeburg shouldn't be wikilinked (and mentioned directly) in the lead.
  • Done.
• It might be something of note to add that the Pallada was the first Russian ship sunk in World War I to the lead.
  • Good idea. Thanks for the review.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:47, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
    • No problem. Passing the article now. --Starstriker7^(Talk) 15:21, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Otherwise, all else fits in. The prose is clear and concise, the spelling and grammar correct; the lead and layout guidelines are well-met. No lists or fiction to worry about, no unnecessarily flowery language.

Criterion 2

Sourcing is pervasive and reliable (sourcing for statistics are not forgotten). I can't really check for original research, as the sources are offline, but I doubt that this is a problem.

Criterion 3

Both focused and sufficiently broad, when compared to similar GAs you have nominated.

Criterion 4

The article is written in a neutral and unbiased tone.

Criterion 5

Edit history checks out.

Criterion 6

The image's copyright status checks out. No caption is needed here, and it is relevant.

Overall comments

Nice work, Sturmvogel. After addressing the few nitpicks I have at top, I'll pass the article as GA. --Starstriker7^(Talk) 07:41, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
