Below is my review:

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   • I think Reinstated should go before Struck in infobox, so that the dates follow the chronological order.
     • Good point. Swapped.
   • Early Career - 'She returned to Boston on the 10th for a short period in the Navy Yard': 10th of February or March?
     • Changed to 10 March. — Bellhalla (talk) 05:41, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
   • World War I - 'Wainwright again briefly patrolled Hampton Roads before heading for the New York Navy Yard on the 14th': 14th of what? I think it is April, which apparently becomes clear later, but should be mentioned here at the first instance.
     • Good suggestion. Changed. — Bellhalla (talk) 05:41, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
   • World War I - 'This division— ably led by Comdr. Joseph K. Taussig': I guess the use of words such as ably is discouraged per WP:MoS.
     • Yes, it is discouraged and I just missed this one. (With some of these DANFS-based articles it's hard to catch all of the jingoistic and/or pro-American statements.) — Bellhalla (talk) 05:41, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   • Discrepancy in speed - 56 km/h (text) and 56.8 km/h (infobox)

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Thanks - DSachan (talk) 15:52, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

I think I've addressed all of your concerns. If this passes, you will have exhausted all of my GA nominations (except for John Henry Turpin) in a two-day span. Thanks! — Bellhalla (talk) 05:41, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Bellhalla, speed issue is not yet addressed. I somehow missed Turpin's nomination. I can do it later today. DSachan (talk) 06:10, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Don't know how I missed that, but I think I've got it now. Also, thanks for the Turpin review, too. — Bellhalla (talk) 11:26, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
