 * GA review (see here for criteria)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * Blah blah footnote, you know the drill :)
 * I think that you must have started this right before I added the footnote to all these ships.
 * Does this need the note about why it took more than two years to build the ironclad, a la the other French ironclad articles?
 * I don't think so, 2-3 years is normal. 5+ is exceptionally long and needs to be explained.
 * You need to mention the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871 in the Service section, as an explanation for their blockade.
 * Done already
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * Did the Thetis do anything proactive to support French citizens during the Carlist War?
 * Nothing is specified. I just know that she was present.
 * Can it be clarified if it was an accident (presumably) when she rammed the other French ship?
 * Done already.
 * Any idea why she wasn't sent as the Flagship of the Pacific Squadron?
 * No idea, just that she was replaced by Montcalm.
 * How did she lose her propeller?
 * Not specified, although I'd dearly like to know myself.
 * Forbes and Rockwell in citations, not in references
 * Do you want me to move them down into refs and convert them into short cites?
 * What she was named after is mentioned in the lede, but not the main body of the article
 * Done and cited.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) 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):
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:

Interesting article, needs a few details and then it can be passed. Skinny87 (talk) 15:39, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Hah, looks like I'm outpacing your efforts to add those notes, for which I apologize! I'm going to pass this now, but if you could move those refs to what is proposed (short system) that would be great. Skinny87 (talk) 16:57, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
